I don't think it's *you* who needs to grow up. Physical violence is not ok, is never ok, once you're past age two or three. Basically good guys aren't physically violent towards those they love.
I'm sorry if I'm being blunt, but I feel strongly at this issue. Look at yourself in the mirror, Pinkeye. You deserve better. You are a human being, and human beings deserve to have their persons respected.
My mother pulled my hair when I was 13 or 14. When she came home, I was ready with my hairbrush full of hair complete with roots. I looked her in the eye and told her she was never going to do that again, then I walked away. And she never did.
I deserved better, no matter what I did, or how I annoyed her. I deserved better because no one deserves to have physical violence perpetrated on them.
Look in the mirror, Pinkeye. Look at the human being who deserves better.
