Disapline issues

between J and i that is. Jason got smacked in the face quite a few times today (she tries to take his glasses and ends up hitting him) and so he now wants to start hitting (well swatting but still). Evelyn in punishment. We had quite the disagreement about this as I am apposed to even gentle hits as punishment for several reasons: I mean really trying to teach a kid not to hit by hitting??? J is apposed to a time out as he feels that isolation is not a good punishment. Sigh I asked him for other options and he just walked away saying we would talk tomorrow. J has a habit of doing that and I would be willing to put down a large wager that we not only don't talk about it tomorrow but will not talk about it until I bring it up and since I don't see him much these days who knows when that will be.
