what the hell is wrong with you
"mitzi how dare you speak to me in such a manner, you are my child!" I slapped mitzi across her face.
I am not your child I am your wife stop hitting me
mitzi grabs her face where you slapped her
"I did nothing, she hit me first"
so hitting a child is okay?
"she's a brat and she needs to learn respect" I say in my defense
so hitting her is the way to do that?
"she needed a good whack to straighten her up. she needs discipline"
"and I need my husband back, not some asshat who hits his own kid"
I didn't do anything. she has a bruise on her arm
"I'm sorry." I say softly. "She needed discipline, MJ."
"Discipline? You call hitting her discipline? That's not discipline, that's abuse."
MJ crosses her arms, clearly angry
"she needs to learn" MaryJane takes her daughters side
“No! She doesn’t need to be treated like this”
MJ puts her hands on her hips, clearly angry at you
I get up and go to my daughter
MJ follows you and stands in the doorway watching you interact with your daughter
"I didn't mean to" I say as I wince in pain "my hand..." I look at my hand as it's bruised
"you didn't mean to? How do you not mean to hit a child?!"
I yell at you, the anger building up inside me
"she's been acting up lately, I thought a little smack would help." I say
"A little smack?! You actually think that hitting her will help? That's not how you raise a child. What if she grows up thinking it's okay to use violence to solve her problems?"
"she disrespected me, she needs to learn respect!" I yell.
disrespect? By having an opinion different from yours? That’s not disrespectful, it’s called having a mind of their own. And hitting her because of it? That’s called abuse.
I'm a female I didn't mean to she left her homework on the table and got it soaked in juice
Maryjane looks at you in disbelief, her eyes filled with anger
Are you serious right now? You hit our daughter because her homework got wet?!
I see I'm in trouble so I say sorry it was an accident!
"It doesn't matter if it was an accident or not, you still hurt our daughter. How would you feel if she did the same to you? This isn't something to joke about."
I was trying to teach her a lesson
you were trying to teach her a lesson? You call hitting her a lesson? That is child abuse! You need to get your priorities straight!
I didn't hit her she hit me! shows the bruise on his arm
that doesn't excuse what you did to her
I stand there shocked. "Did I really do that?"
"you sure as hell did"
she was pissed as she continued
"you hit our daughter! why in the hell would you do something like that!"
"I did not hit her, she fell" Mary Jane knows that willow never hits their daughter
then how do you explain this bruise on her cheek?
