Eek, i think i better clarify!
The reason i found it shocking was because I am 100% ANTI VIOLENCE. And I consider hitting children a form of violence(opinion that not everyone shares). I had in fact shared this with the good doctor - that I used 123 magic and time outs, and did not beleive in hitting. I spanked ONCE in a dangerous situation, and really it was a pat, and Jeremy turned around, laughed at me, and hit me back.
Well, I guess THAT doesn't work.
anyways, they are REALLY pressing me. On this issue. This is going to be their primary finding i think.
