Today I was watching Super Nanny (don't judge, there was nothing else on) and there was a terrible couple. They would paddle the kids and creepily say "trust and obey" then go to give the kids a hug but continue hitting them during the hug while. The parents would tell the kids they "forgave" the kids but then of course throw in a few more whacks after the initial punishment had been given.
You could tell they were hitting the kids out of anger. The mother said she wanted to slap her daughter (between 4 and 6 years old maybe) across the face and had done it before. I wish people would learn to control their anger with their kids. I do like that Jo told them punishment is not a way to get their anger out, it's a way to teach the kids right and wrong.

Oh my goodness! It is amazing that Social services didn't look them up after seeing that show air on TV. It sounds like abuse to me. I don't watch the show - it irritates me.
