Oh yeah, I heard that one more times than I can count. It always blew my mind because even as a kid I remember thinking, “If it hurts you so much, then why are you the one doing it?”
You’re definitely not the only one. I grew up hearing the same things during beatings, and honestly it just made everything more confusing. Looking back, it feels like something people said to make themselves feel better about hurting a child. Been there, and I’m sorry you know exactly what that sounds like.

My dad did say that to me the one time I remember him spanking me.
I thought it was pretty stupid. And knowing who he is now, as an adult, he was a liar.

@unsociableAnthony I think it's a pretty shitty thing to say to a kid. Justifying the pain by taking the moral high ground, letting you know how this is for you. You know what would have been more on point in my instance? Finding my bored ass something to do. that was all I wanted. Just to have someone talk to me like I was a person and find a solution.
...mostly because it didn't stop me. I was a bored kid and swinging on the clothes line was fun.

@nonsensiclesnail I never yell at my cat no matter what she does, because she is just a cat. It's part of the deal. Just the same I think about having a kid in this way but anyways I have never been a parent.
I just dont approve of their methods of keeping control at home. I think it was batshit crazy actually.

I didn't hear that but i did hear every reason i was a worthless piece of shit. Looking back i have to wonder what an 8 year old could do to deserve being beaten every time he got drunk or the foster care check was a day late

My mom didn't say that when she beat me, lol. I think she enjoyed giving the beatings.
