It's amazing how social norms have changed.

I've got a two year old, who drives me absolutely insane sometimes. I think if I grew up in my parents culture, where it was acceptable to smack kids or shout at them, I probably would.

That's a horrible thing to say, but I'm glad I'm aware of the fact that it's counter-productive. I'm almost jealous of my child, to know they've got someone like me as a father, as opposed to my father.
