[QUOTE="LostSF, post: 368501"] Congratulations nvts. I'm happy to hear you've found some peace. Before I became a stepparent I always said that hitting and spanking was wrong. But after I became one, and saw how rude and abusive SD could be, I began to question that belief. Now I firmly believe that the reason why some children get so wild is because they don't have what many of us had as children... fear of our parents. SD knows that the worst that will happen to her is a grounding. But if I did even 1/10th of the stuff she did, I would have been smacked... hard. Just once, but once was always enough. I still don't believe hitting/spanking is "right", but I do believe it is sometimes necessary. With some children, in some situations... when nothing else will work. wife disagrees with me, and since it is her child it is her call. But I do wonder how different our life would be if SD had at least some of the same fear of "going too far" that I had. [/QUOTE]
