Just a note on the “spanking” debate. It’s really about discipline and my take is that your child WILL be disciplined. Either by you or the universe but it is going to happen. You can do it early on out of a sense of love or you can opt out and let the universe do it for you but that will be harsh and ugly….. and the longer it takes for the universe to get around to it, the worse it will be. The kid might get beat up in middle school, REALLY beat up in high school, hospitalized in their late 20s, disappeared later on but the point is the world will not care, the universe will not give a rat’s ass about feelings. And either way, you do it or leave it to the world, it’s still on YOU. It’s your JOB so handle your business now while it’s manageable.
