Oh, it's very Christian to spank children... "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him"
I'm not speaking for all of course, but those roots are definitely there. Folks focus on New Testament, but that's a religion based in Old Testament too, which wasn't so bright and fluffy.
Okay, sorry, that was my Catholic school girl upbringing speaking, I'm going to retreat off my soapbox now.
So sorry Healed- I can only imagine how terribly uncomfortable it is for you at work now, and you know I know how very trying and disheartening it is to deal with an out of control child.
I'm right there with you. It does get better though!
