Have you ever accidentally punched your kid?

Question

My son is 9 years old and he was pissing me off so much I accidentally just punched him in the face. Has this ever happened to you before? I am thinking about signing up for anger management.

Answer 1

yeah, maybe you should get anger management, hope you apologize more then ever before to your son, he would of been in shock when it happened !!

Answer 2

If you punched him because he was pissing you off, it wasn't an accident.  An accident would have been if you were swinging your arm and it accidentally hit him.  Anger management might be a good idea.

Answer 3

My mum slapped me for no reason once, I WAS TWELVE!

Answer 4

It happens and yes its best to get some parenting classes, not exactly anger management its a mix of both, how to deal with a child being annoying or awnry and managing your anger at the same time, better than regular anger management.

I would apologize and maybe take him out to do something he really enjoys and let him know you were wrong and its not ok to hit anyone like that and you will never do it again. You disrespected him, and your sorry.

It happens though, I mean sometimes things get the best of us and all we can do is say sorry and try to make it better while getting better. Its good you realized maybe I need help, that way next time it isn't worse or you really hurt him.

Don't think about it do it, it will make both of you feel better.  

Answer 5

No I haven't. I definitely think you should look into anger management
