I have mixed feelings about them all. One I definitely don’t agree with is physical abuse! Years ago, when I was a single mom, I was friends with another single mom who lived in the same apartment building. She was young and had a little girl. I know she loved her daughter, but whenever she got flustered or her little girl was bad,Sue Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964803875274410886.post-76274617213266192552016-04-29T13:39:41.642-04:002016-04-29T13:39:41.642-04:00It is hard to be objective about yourself, and eac...It is hard to be objective about yourself, and each child is different.
