Spanking teaches your children that the people who have been tasked with keeping them safe will hurt them intentionally and then tell them that it’s bc they love them.
I 10000% understand now why my mom wouldn’t let us go to the store with her sometimes. That feeling of being able to take your time at the store with no worries is something I took for granted 😭😭
as a mother, as a parent… if you know that the world is already so fucking cruel why would you not provide your child with an unbreakable source of tenderness? you can teach them about the ways of the world without terrorizing them. hope that helps.
