I heard if you don't discipline your kids the world will do it for you and the world is harsher because they have no love for your kids. So far I have not seen this proven wrong. Discipline should be discipline though, not abuse.

Edit: You can discipline your kids through a stern talking to, cutting off allowances, grounding, allowing more chores or whatever is apt. discipline should be discipline though, not abuse.

Hitting your kids doesn't really teach them to be good people though. It teaches them to be sneaky and that violence solves problems. Just because your parents hit you and you turned out "fine" doesn't mean it actually helped you in the long run.

Plus not everyone who thinks they turned out fine actually did.

Well shit, aint this a truth nuke. I went to therapy with my wife for family therapy, but my biggest revelations came when she couldn't make it and I had to talk to the doc alone. One session put my whole world on its head. Got on some medication and became a much much better parent.

I don’t know if it helps or makes it worse, but you’re far from alone.

I’m sorry for the things that were done to you to cause it. Those things should never have happened.

i do want to point out despite it being a meme above. you shouldn't hit your kids they will grow up to hate you and possible dish out revenge if they're salty.

its only teaching them that if words don't work violence is an option.
