[QUOTE="TracyEd, post: 183206, member: 2514"] There's likely not much I can add to these great responses, but I wanted to let you know that I've been there done that too. It used to be that spanking was common place, but society frowns on it and we have to find alternative measures to set limits. Spare the rod = spoil the child right? Anyway, I'm also not a spanker. I'm a yeller and working on it, but have spanked in the past and felt just as horrible as you've described. It sounds like Tink was able to forgive you and the only one left who feels like **** is you. Forgive yourself hun. You're human and raising kids is hard work. It sounds like you did keep your cool though. The fact that you care this much is an obvious sign of a good mom. Learn from the experience and knowing that it bothered you this much may help you avoid making the same choice next time. That being said...perhaps a more proactive approach is needed. Before Tink flies off the handle, there are likely warning signs. Depending on her age, distrating her could help. I know my daughter hates brushing her hair, but how I approach the subject is a huge determining factor of how she will react. [/QUOTE]
