A good slap can work wonders, unfortunately some people take it too far. I was scared stiff of my Mum and Dad, some of the hidings I had as a child! I sat on a chair and didn't hardly breathe case it was wrong. That aside, I grew up to know right from wrong and how to behave in other peoples houses and not to be rude to adults. Respect and good manners is what's missing today! There's many a kid I've seen could do with a thick ear!!! Nanna-Moo ;-) (although it didn't do to much for my self confidence!)

I bet!!!! LOL!!!*ducks*

Watch it Hays, can still deliver a good slap! lol

I used to smack my lad when he was naughty/disobedient or if he did something he knew he shouldn't and was perhaps dangerous. When he was about sixteen we were looking after my cousin's kids, a lad of about 6 and twins of 2 who were off in all directions, the older lad was a real pain, wouldn't stay with us and tormented his siblings etc, and my son said'Mum I used to hate it if you smacked me but I realised why you did it, and I really think J. could do with a smack or two, he might learn to behave properly then.' I felt quite relieved to know I hadn't damaged him!! When I childminded a couple of little boys, their Mum told another woman who wanted me to mind her daughter, that I had her pemission to smack her boys if they misbehaved, on that basis the other mother decided she would have me mind her child, as she knew I would be fair but firm. One quick slap across the bottom or the legs gets the message across especially if there is a danger element involved with the misbehaving, ie. running across the road etc.

I knew i called you Mum for a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Worse thing you can do Mrs P. If they are naughty and you say if they do it again such and such will happen you have to carry it through. Otherwise they will walk all over you. My two year old granddaughter tries it on with me occasionally and I say that we are not going to do whatever we had planned for the day and it stops her right in her tracks. Boundaries. Say it, mean it and carry it through. It hurts you, and them but they soon learn. Aileen xxx

HON i'm talking Smacking...................big diff babexxxxxxxxxxxx

No Hays they don't there your children at the end of the day.......Unless of course your beating them then yeah.

Well......do other folk have the right to pull us up if we choose to smack our kids???????

Alieen,i'm murder for going back on word.............

Evening, Mum dished out the punishment in our family. If my brothers and I played up we were warned twice and if we persisted then she threatened us with the slipper. Never did get whacked with it so we got a bit braver. Mum of course changed tactics and deprived us of going out to play with friends, sent to bed early. That cured us! Did the same thing with my children and my daughter does the same with my grandchildren. They know the boundaries and that is what children need. No need to smack. Then again no use getting angry and going off half cocked. If you say something then think about it before you say it. If you then give in and let them watch tv for instance then they win.... you lose. Rod for your own back. Aileen xx
