All for respect and norms and values, not for violence in raising kids, and using a switch on them is violence.
How can you teach respect if what you show yourself is as disrespectful as it can get?
I chose to teach my kids respect by example, not by fear, and I can say I did a pretty danged good job at it! Can't understand someone being proud of having been beaten. If that was done to a dog, ppl would get livid, if it a child, it's suddenly admirable?
I wouldn't want to be treated like a guy's mom either. But I think things may still be somewhat different over there. Here it's pretty common and normal for a man to treat a woman with respect.
Anyways, welcome to Mingle and good luck
