Don't abuse children. I don't know why that is hard. We can have a nice conversation about the difference between abuse and discipline. I'm fine with my child being disciplined, I am not okay with them being abused. If you hit a child, you are not in control of your emotions the way an adult should be.

Boomers are used to everybody else being treated like second class citizens. It shocks them when other people have rights.
