It wasn't that long ago family court judge William Adams was shown beating his daughter with a belt! In Texas, corporal punishment of that nature is acceptable.
Now, I figure that some self-righteous bible belt type will be all over this and that Gloria "I've never seen a station that I haven't been on" Allred will be saying the daughter should do this or do that.
If I did have a child and something like this took place, I wouldn't shoot the computer or the child. I'd just say get in the car, drop her off and children's services go home change the locks, get an unlisted number, call the police if she returns.
It's like my father said to me, "Son, you'll never have to run or worry about the police looking for you because I'll break your neck first!"

I respect that. However, children are not for everyone. I've worked professionally and as a volunteer with children, youth and teens and have no interest in ever having any.

Yeah, it would certainly prevent some rather...embarrassing/disturbing happening...
*knock on door*
*door opens and HOF walks in*
"Holy fuck! Dad, you're this HOF I'm supposed to see?!"
"Shit Julie!! You're Aimie, @Cyberdreams!! Hmmm. Damn this extra strength viagra's kicking in, and I'd hate to waste it..."
"Well Dad, you're going to have to pay for the visit one way or another..."
"Fuck that then, and I'll show you the HOF difference"
*door closes*
Disturbing indeed.

Kids can be great or a strain on the family. It comes down to how you raise them although I know for some it's a mental issue and that changes the equation entirely.

As someone said to me recently: you have to get a licence to hunt. You have to get a licence to marry. You have to get a licence to drive. You should also need a licence to have kids. There are some people in this world who just shouldn't have them. A LOT of women feel the need to reproduce simply due to their biological clock. Just because you are able to have kids, doesn't mean you should.
I'm of the mind "fair but firm". I see kids all the time whining for a treat or something and then two seconds later, after it's purchased, not wanting it. I'd simply say: I'll buy it for you. But you're going to eat it because if you don't, I'll never buy you another so be 100% sure you really do want it.......

I know when my kids were young and wanted small things like treats I couldn't say no. I would look down and see their adorable cute little faces and just melt. Once they became older and the treats turned into expensive ticket items then I started saying no if I had good reason too. If it was an item that wasn't needed for their education or general growth.
As parents we also learn along the way and all parents make mistakes. It's not easy and it's a lifetime task we take on.

OH yeah, no doubt about it that parents make mistakes. We can only hope they're minor and don't make the kid out to be a ted bundy or something (no, not THAT ted bundy, the one from Married with Children!).
I know what you mean about not being able to resist them, but on the other hand, that's a little bit about what parenting is all about. Not giving into the manipulative little bastards and believe me, kids are NOT stupid. I used to take my niece out all the time and since by brother is a knob, I'd give her treats...like salt and pepper on her fries....yeah, he would let her have PEPPER FFS. Same as salt, since he "read" somewhere that too much salt is bad for you yet he forgot the part that said TOO much. Now if all you eat are salty foods then yeah, you don't need extra but if you don't get enough salt, you can die.
My parents were the same way. I was out with my dad not long ago and we went to Harvey's for lunch and he smacked my hand for putting salt on my food. I said "listen, I don't know about YOUR diet but I went over my diet and I was hard pressed to find something that had salt in it. Therefore, I'm not getting enough! grrr"....

Not long ago I'm assuming means within 10 years. Your Dad slapped your hand at your age being worried about your salt intake? That's actually a nice moment if my assumption is correct. He still looks at you as his little boy.
