Father Ted Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Awesome anecdote dude. The suggestion that kids only, or predominantly, get smacked to educate them about real life hazards, or to prevent an immediate danger is incredibly dishonest. Kids get hit because their parents are angry and frustrated. That's why it's a bad thing. Fairy stories about keeping kids away from the fuse box, or the fire place, cooker etc are disingenuous nonsense. I'm just telling you as it is. I believe your opinion is disingenuous nonsense.

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Both parents smacked me. Just as many people used to drink drive in those days. Attitudes change. People have realised it's wrong and stopped doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to beat the shit out the grand wean's though. Cool. No need to justify yourself. We're none of us perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be able to get a 'twofer', and if its a lassie I can be a sexist as well. That kid has it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine reply here. I recall being smacked at age 4 or 5 and thinking - 'If my parents love me why are they hitting me?' Obviously, I'm not scared or anything, but It potentially made me trust them less as a wee nipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskychimp Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 12 minutes ago, Pull My Strings said: Oh I see, you've entirely missed the point. Here it is: smacking isn't a little bum slap or an arse tap. The point of smacking is to inflict pain and/or fear and/or humiliation otherwise how is it supposed to influence behaviour? A little 'bum slap' or 'arse tap' is completely irrelevant and anyone hiding behind that sort of terminology is kidding themself as to what they're actually doing to their kids. That's exactly what smacking is to a large number of people and the definition doesn't indicate the strength of said smack. How's about you stop making up your own definitions to suit your skewed debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB 4.2 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Just now, Bairnardo said: Fair enough. Nice to see someone attempt to address and discuss the issue. Now with the benefit of hindsight, were they bad and abusive parents on the basis that they smacked you? Absolutely not. But I do think they'd have been better parents if they chose to correct my behaviour using non-violent means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
