The funny thing is is I've probably seen more examples in public of parents verbally and emotionally abusing their kids than when they spank them. A tap on the butt gets their attention. But no let's lock them in a room or steal their property.

I mean why is alright forcibly confine your kids when you can't do that to your spouse? You can confiscate a kids' property but you sure can't do that to an adult.

The answer is because they are kids. It's called parenting. So spare everyone the drivel about double standards. They exist in every form of discipline discussed.

Hypocrisy thy name is parents trying to force their beliefs on everyone else.
