I'm sorry to be rude, and i hate to judge people...but I think this is one issue that gets me riled up the most (with my own parents included).

He didn't hit our son. I it was what he wanted to do. He was still mad at that point, and once he calmed down was ready to talk. I can understand why it crossed his mind: he was angry and scared and in situations like that you tend to revert back to what you grew up with.

What I need is an idea for a consequence
