I am not going to stop whipping these boys with this oversized stick.
No way you are thinking of doing that. Why would you hurt them?
I feel like it's a good way to discipline the children.
Physically harming children like this is not an appropriate form of discipline at all, and it is considered child abuse. I highly suggest you stop doing this, because it can lead to serious trauma to the children and you in trouble.
What? So I'm going to let my kid run over me. I was raised in the same way and I turned out just fine.
Just because it was done to yourself, doesn't mean it is right to do it to others. It's better to discipline them in a loving and understanding way, heart to heart. You can try watching episodes of Supernanny to get an idea. It's good to have a balance of love and discipline.
