      Speaking of conservatives specifically, I don’t think they explicitly hate the poor so much as they sincerely (and wrongly) believe the poor will make better decisions if they are sufficiently punished for making “bad” decisions.https://twitter.com/nicole_cliffe/status/984169485610307584 …

      Replying to @ToriGlass

      I had this thought when an evangelical mom I knew took away a toy her two year old was playing with too roughly. He happily went to play with something else. She sighed. “He just doesn’t care about discipline.” Bc in that world no suffering=no learning.

      ugh I needed to read this because despite the fact that my parenting doesn't *at all* resemble my Evangelical parenting days this this thought is still a crumb in my mind that needs sweeping out. It's amazing how many little worms burrow their way into your brain and stay there.

      Replying to @BustyRuffles @ToriGlass

      Right there with you!! Glad to be helpful! 😊 I’m currently having a hard time with all those memories of perfectly behaved homeschool children (at what cost?) and the reality of my non listening preschooler and the frustrations that entails. It’s hard. *solidarity hugs*

      Replying to @pamina_q @ToriGlass

      I have a trio of sons, all teens, whom I raised while I was still Evangelical. All that it entails - spanking, circumcision, the pressure to have children who were absolutely obedient. It felt wrong but it was "biblical" so I did it. Now I have a 3 y o daughter...

          and feelings of deep regret and sadness. I've talked to my sons about the Spanking Days, about everything, and apologized. But oh if I could go back I would. I have to remind myself that I was a product of abuse who married an abusive man and stayed in an abusive system.

          And that I left and found some mental/emotional/religious freedom. That mother guilt though - I don't know if it'll ever completely heal. My sons deserved better when they were just little guys.

          I spanked (swatted) my oldest one time. @Patchthebun set me straight immediately. I’m incredibly grateful. I didn’t know any better. Now I know a lot.

          Replying to @ToriGlass @pamina_q @Patchthebun

          It fortunately wasn't my first choice...I grew up with too many horrific bruises and welts to want to do THAT to my children. But I did spank them sometimes, and when I was mad, and I know it did damage. Ugh I can't even talk about it anymore. I wish I knew a @Patchthebun then
