And I wouldn't argue against that for a second, I don't get anyone that knocks a kid around but I don't really think that anyone on here is saying anything different.
He's stating that the smacks caused the rest, my son didn't get smacked, took no notice of any consequences and was basically a nightmare for a decade, sometimes I've wondered if a good smacking wouldn't have made a difference.
I think it's the opposite that's the bigger problem in society, there are far too many disrespectful,expect everything for nowt fannies in the world for my liking.
The positive I can see from it is those numpties that hammer their kids arses in supermarkets for having a wee strop, might get a wee word in their ear from the police as someone might report it, when you're scudding them hard in public you definitely have lost the battle with your kid.
