Day 13: Physical Abuse

This is pretty simple. Keep your fucking hands to yourself. I'm pretty sure we all learned this in Kindergarten. In this day and age there are A SHIT TON of ways to discipline your child. Changing the wi-fi password, taking away devices, even a good ole fashioned time-out once in awhile... And I mean for the child AND you. 

"Well back in my day we whooped our children and blah blah blah"... Back in YOUR day the goal was to instill fear in children. There were no studies done back in YOUR day to prove that physically abused children grew up to physically abuse THEIR children. And p.s. Little Leroy will grow up to be Big Leroy and may decide to physically discipline your old diapered ass. 

Indiana Law states that as parents you can physically discipline your children if no bruises, cuts, welts or marks are left. Yes, you heard me. 

And please. If you do see or hear about a child being hit...DON'T WAIT THREE WEEKS TO CALL IT IN. This should be a no-brainer, right? False. What the fuck are we supposed to do with that?

And p.s. Shaking your baby does not make it stop crying.
