Your not an idiot and yes it is wrong. No child needs to be smacked it doesn't stop them doing it again so the next time do they get abit more than a smack. Nah not into it will never do it to my own and I'd hate to see anyone doing it to theirs either I think I'd give dem one, 😂🙄 I was on the beach couple months back there was 2 little boys playing up no older than 7 youngest about 5 well the 7 Yr old was telling the little one to be naughty n they both was next minute I seen him get a slap right across his face for fuck all I couldn't keep my tongue shut I nearly kilt her but imagine what she doesn't not behind closed doors for weeks it played on my mind. It's scum and it teaches them absolutely nothing x
Sickening ain't it. Especially when they're doing stuff like that in public, if you're willing to go that far for everyone to see how far will you go when nobody is around?! And across the face too, poor boy that must have stung so bad! X
I think all it teaches them is that its normal to hit people when you're angry at them 🤷♀️ that's why you find a lot of the kids that go around hitting other kids regularly get it at home because it's how theyve learnt to deal with their anger from parents doing it to them. Xx
Yup I agree, it's the same points I was making. I'll never understand it tbh. Yeah we have days where they really really grind us down and you want to escape them but you don't lash out because you're mad. It's not punishment, it's a reaction to being pissed off that they're not obeying you! X
When I was younger you got a smacked bum etc I unfortunately was the eldest child so my dads attitude was ‘ I’m the oldest and I should know better’ which meant if my younger sister had been bad I would also get the punishment. It didn’t work the other way around though. I hated him for it. Like genuinely even to this day I still hate him for that aspect of my childhood. My mum didn’t know about it as she worked weekends but she seen him do this once and went mad at him because my sister was the one to be punished but I got punished too and harder. He smacked our head once as well and she exploded and said a smack when it’s deserved is fine but the head is off limits. My dads mum used to beat him and his brothers up so he thought that was okay. I’ll be honest my mum very rarely hit me, my sister more than me as she was a biter nipper hair puller lol. Even when she was older. My mum didn’t like hitting done it when necessary. Me on the other hand I absolutely hate hitting, because I used to hate being smacked as a kid I knew I would never do it to my own. I’d rather take her favourite things away she definitely learns from that. It’s my own opinion and thankfully now here in Scotland hitting is illegal xxx
Will never understand people who hit their kids. I wouldn’t hit someone I hate let alone my beautiful children who I love. Yes they can be frustrating but smacking them is unthinkable. Just bad parenting in my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
I personally do not agree with hitting children. I understand some people do it and it's not my place to judge, but it's not something I'd do to my children. If children aren't shown respect then how will they learn to 'respect their elders'. You're much more likely to get a positive response from a child when you talk to them as opposed to hitting them. Even shouting sometimes gets the opposite reaction to what you want

If it takes a smack around the head to make your child listen to you then you need to seriously reevaluate your parenting skills 🤷♀️
