Ooh i may of joined in that 1, lol! I think smacking has its place, but my god it sickens me when i see peopple smacking their kids. I saw some kid the other day kick his mother, so she turned round and whacked him round the leg! I just looked at her in disgust! No idea where he gets the idea that kicking people is acceptable.... Sams been smacked before, and really rather hard. When he was little he was obsessed with the cooker lights. He was always heading for them. One day i had it open and he came flying for it, so i smacked him really hard on the back of the hand! He had a red hand, but he didnt have blistered hands, and he never went for the oven again, lol!
