Sorry, you are wrong. Kids will never experience the naturally found joys a pre internet mobile phone kid had. And that includes a well tanned arse in adult hood.


The modern world is a shambles because of ex pampered kids, who are now grown as adults who turn to mum and dad when things go tits up with their kids.

That argument is tired.

You do not need to have kids to know hitting them is wrong. That is basic human stuff, not a parents only secret.

I have nieces and nephews. I am around kids. I see what helps and what messes them up. You do not need to give birth to understand harm.

Having kids does not magically make your opinions smarter. It just means you had sex and kept the result. Plenty of parents get it badly wrong.

The tanned arse is grim. You were hit and now you want to dress it up as character building which isn’t wisdom. That is how you’re dealing with it.

And blaming everything on pampered kids is lazy. Every generation whines that the next one is ruined.

My opinion is not irrelevant. Yours just leans on nostalgia instead of facts. And nostalgia is not an argument.
