What did your parents do to you, that you will never do to your children?
 
My dad hit me a few times and was verbally abusive all the time. Then he disappeared out of my life for like 10 years.
 
Spank them. If I can't find a different, more effective way to discipline my child than with physical force, then I don't need to be a parent.

Same here. That's sickening for me now.

That's not to say you're a bad parent if you spank your child, but I feel there are much less violent ways that are more effective and actually teach the child the consequences of their behaviors that they may experience in their adult life. You don't see your boss spanking you when you do something wrong, and we don't do that shit in school anymore.
 
My Dad was abusive, in every way....My Mom was silent, not interfering to stop him.....

I tried to be just the opposite....My children were spanked by me, when it was an absolute necessary thing... Which wasn't often....As a matter of fact it was very rare for me to spank them....I did not show abuse, and I was always alert, and never silent....
 
You don't come into the world knowing what a moral is.  In time, you are conditioned and influenced by various sources, and thus morals are born either from a cultural, nurturing, or individual belief.  But you always have to think about where that belief stems from.

Physically harm them or teach them bad morals.

What bad morals did you learn from your parents?

"Morals" all belong to you, the individual person....I don't think morals are learned.....

I agree.  You can't really blame your parents for your own corrupt morals. That's like getting a free pass to make poor decisions and do bad things.

Couple of years back can't remember how old i was but my dad used to abuse me and my mum, it was extremely bad!! He used to many stupid things that is very dangerous, But one thing is he used to drink at home heavily so yeah but he has a bad temper, One day my mum had enough of him so she had to call the police and report him. They both got divorced now i have step dad and he is way better also hes a loving caring guy! Bless Him.

I would never abuse or insult my kids even if they step out of the line i'll just tell them not to do this or that.. Going harsh on kids isn't fun or funny also they easily get scared!

I can relate to that.
