Why? have you been brainwashed by the government and anti-smacking groups that smacking is bad?? I think it works wonders personally, i was smacked as a child with various objects (wooden spoon, belt) and also had my mouth washed out with soap and water if i sweared. Here's a thought, both me and brother (who were smacked as a child) went on to go to university and get decent jobs whereas my sister who wasn't (because my parents felt "bad" about it), ended up using drugs, dressing like a chav and ended up on the dole ...make your own opinion of that....

My own opinion....is that your opinion is "Hey lets go and find some children to smack it'll be good for them
WHY SMACK WHEN YOU DONT HAVE TO???
My children are well behaved polite lively kids who i dont have to smack they know right from wrong - there not angels and do get into trouble but they are grounded or a privelige is withdrawn. Smacking only instills fear in children - removing a privelige helps them to know right from wrong with reasoning and consequence - its not a difficult concept - i dont think.
I know plenty of people who have been to university who weren't smacked as children, just as i can think of plenty of 'chavs' who do use drugs and have been smacked.
What is your opinion on that??

I'd like to see your kids when they're grown up, then i'll make my decision.

My kids are more mature at 6 and 9 than you'll ever be.
p.s all those beatings with the spoon - was it round the head by any chance????

Some parents lack the patience, time for their children and intelligence to actually think of a method which will work and not have to resort to assaulting a child.

So basically... some people don't do things the way you think they should and that makes them bad parents and stupid people?

How horribly judgemental

Nip it in the bud before they get to teenagers and I have to teach them!! It's a nightmare by then :rolleyes:
