Remember when some well meaning, well intentioned but extremely misguided adult would say the following:
“It’s for your own good that I am spanking you.”
“I worry about you because I love you.”
“ I know it tastes bad but it’s good for you.”
“I know you hate to eat_____ but it is good for you.”
“Even though you dislike being with your grouchy ______, nevertheless you have to go and visit.”
“I know you don’t want to _____ but I say you must.”
‘You cannot do only what you think is good for you, you have to do as I say and forget about your feelings.”
My question is:
Just how disconnected were these people, to actually believe these statements?
