Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - explaining spanking to your non-spanked kids--update: had the talk

Actually, after the fact, I wanted to tell MIL "Well, I might think my boss/coworker/person in front of me in line deserves it, but if I hit them it's a criminal assault and battery..."

I just don't understand, in general, how if ppl won't do things to others in society that they think it's okay to do it to their own children or spouses.

I mean, would my MIL support her son-in-law if he hauled off and hit my SIL, her DD? I mean, if he said "Well, she deserved it..." would it still be "okay" in her mind? So, if it's not okay for him to hit her or for her to hit him if they "deserve it," then why is it okay for them to hit their kids if they think they "deserve it?"

It's like I think of all of this stuff after the fact, kwim? I'm such a horrible lawyer... no wonder I don't practice anymore... placenta brain makes me incapable of thinking on my feet...
