Was a time new mothers were told to just let baby scream, and to feed it according to her schedule, not the baby’s.
I’d make a rotten parent: It is my belief that it is morally wrong and counter productive to hit children. That x numbers of parents still do so because it’s easier , can relieve their frustration and because they don’t know any better. My mother taught me that. We were seldom hit at home. Our Catholic schools made up for that deficit.----Because they believed in “spare the rod will spoil the child” and because they were incompetent teachers.
Of course, I was always afraid I’d be the same kind of parent as my father. He spent far to much time being a cunt.
