No, that part ? no ! And without the cursing i might add. Having said that i only used a belt once or twice on my son (when i caught him stealing from about 10 different stores then i made him take back everything returnable and he worked and paid me back for that which wasnt returnable) and the other time maybe when he hit his mother, though she deserved it ,one of my daughters, i never spanked ,didnt have to, my other daughter i only spanked once,i then apologized later, because i did it with too much anger.all of my children turned out wonderful ,despite their mother being a terrible example, what she did to them in private i dont know, i do know she was very abusive verbally and some physically too, they would never tell me what, i really couldnt ask for better children, my son is a perfect gentleman.Im a happy man, though i wish he would go back to church
