Sarah from the Panhandle of Florida is a good Christian mom. Just look at this punim.

I said punim. That's the face you letch.
Sarah blogs about her church, her confusion, and how she beats her kids.
Here is how she deals with her girls playing board games quietly in their room...
"I finished the laundry and turned off the tv and asked them to come to their room. here's the convo:
"girls, please sit down. i'm not happy right now. do you know why mommy isn't happy right now? what's that? (pointing to the board game)"
Girls: board games...
"And where did you get the board games?"
Girls: out of the closet
"And what did mommy tell you about going in the closet?"
KAYLIN DID IT! IT WAS KAYLIN.
"I didn't ask who did it. I don't care who did it. I told you both not to go in there and not to play with the board games. And you did not obey me"
Jayruh: It was Angelina and Kaylin! I'm telling you the truth!
Angelina: Nuh uh! Kaylin did it.
"It doesn't matter. When I ask you two to do something, and you guys don't obey me, you both get spankings. That's just the way it is."
both girls get spankings.
I lay it on Jayruh a little harder than Angelina because Jayruh's been completely un-phased by spankings lately and is her normal giggly self as soon as my hand is off of her. She started crying immediately and I pulled her on my lap and told her that I love her and I spank her because I want her to learn "to do the good things" I pulled Angelina on my lap and kissed her too."
To recap, she hit her kids ("laid it in") in her terms, for playing board games out of season. But poor Sarah doesn't know what other option she has than to beat her little kids...
"Jayruh has such a gentle/sensitive spirit and any kind of retribution really, really affects her. When I left the room I got teary eyed... why does parenting have to be so difficult?"
Poor Sarah, so confused. But so righteous. I mean, she is the one who thinks that
two things that don't mix include "Success and a government devoid of Christ". She is one serious god-bothering 'publican lass. Who beats her kids. But that isn't the confusing part as lots of people
use violence to get their point across, don't they? Lots of religious people use violence to
teach people how to "do the good things", don't they? Lots of religious people use violence to get the
powerless to obey, don't they? It's really just a matter of degrees. And whiteness. Isn't it Sarah? Good Christian violence is okey dokey, isn't it Sarah?
As the internets say, parenting fail.
