I don't even get how that is relevant.
I would have never have done that as a child, never. Why? Because my parents were actually decent, and I wasn't totally maladjusted. If your child is shit, you are shit. And you'll just have to live with that, OR get angry at child/self and attack them.
EDIT: I'm reminded of Larkin's poem, 'This Be The Verse':
