Hello all
I'm new here. I'm a dad of 2 girls aged 10 and 6. And last night I spanked my 10 y/o. I had a good reason, but I still feel guilty.
She called her mother stupid and useless.
I guess the real problem is that my wife never follows through on her threats of punishment for bad behaviour, and it is left to me. I believe that all children should have a little fear of their parents, especially when they do something wrong. Old fasioned, I know.
But I still feel bad. And the day after she got such a good reportcard too.
Any advice?
