I'm not saying I beat my kid all the time or anything like but I work at a nursery with other kids my sons age and I know that you will tell a baby no about 40 times and they still won't understand not to do it, but a little "pop" on the hand for pulling dirty diapers out of the diaper pail will make him think twice about doing it again. I know I've seen it. So if a little smack on the hand or extremely padded butt is a bad thing then I'm guilty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658392846922406557.post-51679969916103904312007-10-18T14:43:00.000-07:002007-10-18T14:43:00.000-07:00c-- no reason to feel guilty.

You've made a value decision and you're sticking by it. That's admirable and demonstrates just how much you care about little man.<BR/><BR/>uuf ... back to feeling guilty about #1 ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658392846922406557.post-58524476259054081792007-10-17T15:12:00.000-07:002007-10-17T15:12:00.000-07:00Thanks EB- he really needs a new alias.Thanks EB- he really needs a new alias.Lisa Dunickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530026652363687161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658392846922406557.post-85802311158251424722007-10-17T14:06:00.000-07:002007-10-17T14:06:00.000-07:00fyi -- little man's name snuck in up there. . . if...fyi -- little man's name snuck in up there. . . if you're worried about that sort of thingEBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390053120776733646noreply@blogger.com
