Couldn’t agree more.

The only issue with applying this discussion is that there is a significant differences between me smacking one of my kids and someone else beating the shit out of theirs - but its viewed exactly the same.

I’ve told my kids before - I have to react to your behavior. Big difference between me and anyone else is that I will stop when I can. Act like that in public to anyone else and they won’t stop until you are on a feeding tube.
