I don't know.. There have been times that I am so frustrated that I think I can understand how a parent might get frustrated enough to think of doing some extreme thing. That might not have made sense, but I'm just saying I understand feeling an overwhelming frustration toward a kid- but that isn't the same thing as taking action on it. Most of us have something in our heads that "clicks" and makes us walk away for a time out, yell for a minute, or do something else that leads us to keep at least a little control of ourselves. These parents must be difficult child's themselves. The saddest part to me- if the kids were being raised by parents like that, well...... let's just say I can't believe it is some of us parents here that get blamed for our kids having issues.
