I just had a talk with my own mom. Shes into her eighties. She thinks its perfectly fine to hit, slap, pinch, turn your ears and was very verbally abusive to me. I'm just having a little rble. I can't think of anything to add to this conversation but I get that technology, I think, is the cause for obesity rising, bullying, peer pressure and influence from the media, causes all new concerns for our kids these days. I remember too having to be really obviously sick before getting help at school. Or teachers getting away with physically punishing kids. But to me school and child protection laws are much better overall. I don't think there was any child protection where I'm from anyways. And seatbelts, parents used to smoke with the windows rolled up and not strap us in lol.
