I Asked My Husband to Promise Me He Wouldn't Hit Our Future Kids. His Answer Gave Me Chills.

Graham believes in spanking, while I am staunchly against it. My husband grew up in a household with three brothers, and according to him, "good old-fashioned ass whippings" were the only thing that prevented the household from descending into chaos. My younger brother and I grew up with an alcoholic father who would beat us with anything he could get his hands on if we so much as looked at him cross-eyed, and I will NOT have any child of mine subjected to corporal punishment.
