I will admit I thought spanking stopped being a thing. I thought that we all learned that it doesn’t actually help. I got whoopings as a kid but my mom learned before I became a teenager through parenting classes that it’s not effective.

I just remembered that before I ever had a kid I wrote an article on “spankings.” I’ve evolved even more since this but the message I was pushing I think is a legitimate one.

The last time my mom was at my house Siddy hit her. My mom told me that she instinctively hit her back. It wasn’t hard but it was immediate. Siddy screamed bloody murder.
This morning I said “Remember when you hit Grandma? What did she do?”
“Grandma hit Sidney.” #DGProper

My wife was there and confirmed it was a light tap on her hand. But my kid STILL remembers that months later. I don’t believe she’s scarred from it but that shows me it stays with them. I don’t want her to think that when she thinks of me. #DGProper
