Wife hit our eldest (7yo) earlier. Grew up in a home where hitting was the first option. Have one rule in our house NO VIOLENCE!!!!! I don’t hit my kids, I don’t hit my wife and I don’t hit my dog… same rule applies to everyone no exceptions. My kids know the rule, my wife knows the rule and my dog is a softy so doesn’t need to know the rule she just gets it. Currently a bit disassociated but I know when I’ll split hard when I snap out of it.
