Well, Last night my husband got fed-up with my son because of his stubborness. He end-up spanking him and the sight broke my heart...I felt his pain, I want to rescue him but I had to let it happen
As a mother, I don't want to see my kids being hurt but in times like that I just have to close my eyes for I know it would somehow do good.

how i wish my dad is still alive to do the spanking. he passed away a year ago and since then, my brother became worse. he can't follow simple instructions, he steals from all of us at home, he keeps on bullying mt younger sister and he beats me, he's only 13 years old! my mom is so soft-hearted she can't do anything about it. she dont know how to punish my brother and use iron hands.
so with regards to what happened to you last night i can say it's much better that your husband sometimes uses iron hands to your son, it's a part of discipline and it's a good way to mold one's being, to become a better person. as long as it's not bellow the belt it's fine.

Yeah, I guess we need to use iron hands when the situation calls for it. That's why I had to let it happen because I know it will somehow do my son good and he'll know that what he did was wrong.
It's just that I can't stand the sight of my kids getting hurt. Maybe that's how mothers are, so soft-hearted when it comes to their kids

Sorry to hear of your pain. Simply sit with your husband and discuss how you felt about it and how you two can come to an understanding as to how to discipline your son in the future. Let your husband know how it made you feel and how the two of you can come up with a mutually agreed upon solution for any future discipline situations.

We've talk already and I understand why he has to do what he did. And it's not always like that, we're trying to avoid the spanking really. But if compromises don't work then that's the time we have to do that. I guess I'm just really soft-hearted when it comes to my kids

i'd feel the same if it were my son and my husband in that situation. but i'll choose to let it go, if it is only appropriate and for my son's own good. but i know my son's dad is not gonna be overly abusive. he's a loving person. and if he ever does something like that, it will be out of love.
