I checked off Dobson and other, meaning my parents and family. I was raised in your typical fundie Christian home. We were spanked, but not a lot. It was rather arbitrary about when it would happen too. I don't remember what I was every spanked for, but I do remember veryclearly the feeling that I was totally misunderstood in those times and that it was totally unjust!!
I DO have "little voices " in my head, mostly my Mom's, telling me to swat babies that struggle at diaper changes
I have had to pray so much about that one,to over come it and have a plan to avoid the temptation
And other stuff when I choose to be soft toward my DS and not make a power struggle--I can "hear" my mother. I felt like I made some strides with that by talking back out loud to the internal message --i.e. "I WON'T leave my baby to cry!" "I WON'T nurse sitting on a toilet!"My SIL and brother use some sort of Ezzo material, I believe. they haven't been preachy with me, but actually complimentary to me but I feel weird around them about these things and I feel so bad for my nephews and niece. So far I have tried to encourage them to enjoy (not complain about ) their kids, and that BFing is GOOD!!!
Still working to let God transform my mind....
