62. I have three kids, ages three to seventeen.

I'm not perfect, and I think we all know there is no such thing as a perfect parent.

However, there is a world of difference between "not perfect" and "abusive." What the OP witnessed today was abusive, plain and simple.

I've dealt with a lot of parental frustration, impatience, fuss and worry over the years, as well as all manner of children's behavior, and I have never once cursed at my children or called them names. One need not be "perfect" to recognize abuse.
