SAH/WOH - Why?

I am sure this has been done before but I was wondering this in light of recent posts lately.

Why did you decide to sah/woh?

Was it a choice or something expected of you?

Was your plan to sah/woh though out or impulsive? Long-term or short-term?

ITA, but what does anger have to do with spanking? It's a separate issue. You said yourself that when you swat your kid you're not angry.

If we have a lot of anger towards our kids, or towards anyone, how is that their problem to solve? Isn't it up to us to deal with it constructively? We can say, "That makes me mad when you do that." But that's about it.

Natural consequences differ between children and families.

Lots of different things we might do to our kids, like excessive rage or extreme consequences, are a bad idea, but I'm not seeing how that defends spanking.

Which judgements am I not liking? I said that I don't think I was being insulting, and asked that poster to point out what was insulting. I think that you were posting as if your parenting style is better than someone else's, and you don't agree. That's fine. I posted why I thought that. Just debating here, nothing else.
