This question was in Billy's application for Kindergarten. How exactly does one answer this question? I was contemplating and wondered if the parents of prospective students answer this question truthfully.
In my case I started panicking, there is not enough room here to list the tortures I inflict upon my child. I remember the times when I threaten to drop my 1st born at the bus stop. Telling her that the people waiting are gypsies and that they are waiting for moms and dads to drop off their misbehaving kids. Do I tell them I spank? Will they frown upon it even when I don't do it in anger and it's 1 smack in the bottom for every birthday she has had? Do I sugar coat the truth? As we do talk about feeling and frustrations but I can not leap tall buildings in a single bounce and do slip and scream at my kids at times.
Truth be told my children are very much loved and seemed to be well adjusted individuals in spite of my parenting. Or maybe there is some grain of truth in the idea that children are resilient.
