i posted a link on here basically saying how i lost my temper the other night and smacked my son { may i add it was on the hand} and ive now been accused by some ****** of ''beating'' him! have any of you ever smacked your child for being naughty? have any of you been smacked as a child?

my 'little' brother still tells people about how I used to smack him when he was a child - for gods sake get over it I say - you're bloody 50 years old.....................

I was smacked when I was a child at home and caned at school and I can honestly say that it did me no harm at all.

I don't smack my two and I can only recall being smacked a few times as a child.

My hubby was regularly beaten by his father and is very anti smacking anyway. My kiddiwinks are still quite young so I find the naughty step works(not for hubby though) but who knows how I'll react to a situation when they are older. I'd like to say I'd never smack them but I just don't know.

You can't beat yourself up for one smack - I bet there have been plenty of other times when your son has tried your patience or been naughty and you haven't smacked him.

As parents we can only do our best children aren't born with a manual
