Hubby raised an amazing point today.
He asked what role me receiving spankings as a child plays in me punishing myself as an adult.
Yeah, my husband is quite the thinker.
You know what, I think he's on to something.
Why do parents spank? To teach a child right/ wrong, appropriate/ inappropriate behavior.
Why do I punish? To teach myself right/ wrong, appropriate/ inappropriate behavior.
But in the same way that I'm not learning from my punishment, did I learn as a child or did I simply alter my behavior to prevent future punishments?
Ok, this is heavy stuff.
Am I over thinking?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Gratitude Moment: Loving that each day brings a deeper understanding of me.

I got beaten up a lot as a child and no, I didn't learn anything from it other than altering my behavior for a while.
