Should Smacking Children Be Illegal?

[joebloggs]

so your ex thought they needed a slap and she carried out the slapping and your in favour of it, but never did it yourself

i think once you turn to name calling, using insults and any sort of violence you've lost the argument and you've lost your self respect, but hey that's my opinion and your all entitled to your own

remember you owe your kids everything (except a 'little slap' )

Joe, the older ones were stepchildren. Not my place to even think about striking them.

I can't really remember her striking our boy, maybe a small slap now and then.
She had a sharp tongue, but generally we were a happy and peaceful lot. Anyway, they've all turned out great.

Remember, your kids are still small and manageable...let's give it a few years then see how you feel. Not good to lecture those who've already completed the course while you are just starting out
