20. Well I don't but my best friend does, and her daughter drives her nuts.

But my best friend has enough common sense and control over her emotions to know that when she's infuriated by her child, there are plenty of options other than abuse be it physical or verbal. Anger management. Therapy. Time-Outs.
As a result her child is turning out to be a bright and thoughtful human being instead of an insecure and angry individual.
A child's job is to be needy and require healthy discipline. Calling your child names and physically abusing them is not parenting, it's the weak and easy way out.
