Remember when?

 

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?
