And does it escalate to throwing things next? Where's the line when rude & destructive displays of anger are tolerated? Is cursing at you next? You've already shown a tolerance for rudeness. Why shouldn't she?
Of course, they do know this. Even if they are not shown at home that people who love each other can express anger at each other and that's OK, they'll see other kids have arguments and make-up and learn how to manage relationships and feelings.

I did say we should agree to disagree rather than go here. We've both clearly thought about parenting and it seems not to make a huge amount of difference anyway. Our kids are loved and have boundaries even if we set them in different places.

Indeed, I do agree to disagree. But before we part ways, I would like to say that I've enjoyed speaking with you. Thank you for speaking with me.

I agree it's better than directly hurting someone, but you have to admit that there's uncontrolled anger, and violence, in the act. Even if it's an inanimate object, it's still unhealthy. Is slashing tires ok bc it's an inanimate object?
