@joeychris By “discipline” what you actually mean is violence. Your household sounds like a desperate and dangerous place to grow up. But you are probably reproducing the toxic environment you yourself were raised in.
Real discipline is an internal practice enforced by ourselves; that’s not what you were taught to reproduce by undisciplined people whose ignorance and incompetence at teaching you self-control set you up to do just as they did by resorting to violence towards your own children.
