1320Lichtie Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Have to agree. Really struggling to understand what some people actually think smacking involves, it's hardly some traumatic scarring experience. Reading what some people are saying about it is embarrassing. Like I have said I personally wouldn't choose to do it if I ever had kids, but I have absolutely no hard feelings towards my mum and dad for doing it to me. It's hardly a big deal. It's a wee smack on the bottom ffs. People aren't beating up their children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskychimp Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I wish this topic had never come up. Im gonna have to start smacking my child for the next 4 years.

Or is it kept out of the public eye as it's wrong and it's more than just a tap? I wasn't talking from personal experience of smacking. Just making an observation. If it helps, if I saw someone giving smacking a child in a supermarket I wouldn't give a f**k. Edit to add. I did work out last night that I hit her much much harder when we're playing and having fun than when she's in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Still a considerable majority, IIRC from surveys. 100 percent it's a big majority of people. I would say that nearly all my mates got a smack on the arse for acting like wee shites too. Seen it happen to a load of them when I was younger. On here though, it seems like nobody has had parents who have done it to them and people who have not done it to their own children. Which I find a bit strange.I could understand people that are maybe younger than me having that point of view but I'm surprised to see so many people that are older saying they've never been smacked or smacked their own children themselves.

Of course it's more than a tap, I think parents that are saying that's all it is are purely trying to justify it as only that but a smacks a smack.

1320Lichtie Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 My parents didn't smack me.I won't be smacking my children. I don't know any of my mates when growing up who got smacked. Maybe they did but certainly not in public.Why don't they in public? Because it's wrong :-). You don't have any mates who were smacked as children? Struggling to believe that tbh. I don't have any figures, maybe banana does, but I would certainly agree with him that a considerable majority of parents do/did used (maybe not now) to smack their kids. Like I've said I wouldn't personally go down that route if I was to ever have kids, I don't agree with it but do I see it as big a deal as some people seem to on here? Nope. Standard part of growing up for me and a very common thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 That I know of no. Standard part of growing up is getting smacked by your parents ? Don't believe you. Well not just for the fun of it like, but after a quick google search it seems to be very common yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 18 hours ago, banana said: These are all weasely rewordings and sneaky attempted re-contextualising - the state has in position legal ramifications for parents taking full guardianship for a child when the parents decide its necessary. If there's no penalty (there is), none of this should be in place in the first place. If I decide I want to take my kids out for the afternoon, or campervanning around Europe for 6 months, this should have f**k all to do with the state or or whatever relevant governing bodies. No prior notice necessary, no headmaster permission necessary, no questions asked. I do realise that having grown up in a situation where the state gets (is expected to get) it's paws into almost everything, it's a big shift in mindset to realise that this is not the only way and is actually pretty creepily fucked up. Parents have a legal obligation to ensure children are educated. The state have a role in ensuring that education meets certain standards. If that's a bit Big Government for you then fine but I would suggest it's a minority position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I've never seen my mates smacked by there parents. Not sure how that is hard to believe. I don't see why any adult would hit their own child. And it's never even been discussed between you and your mates when you were younger? Fair enough. And for disciplinary reasons obviously, not for enjoyment. I don't see how you can be so naive to it all. First link I opened up showed that 80 percent of children around the world have been smacked, according to UNICEF. 60 percent of people in the U.K felt that it should not be banned and in America 76 percent of males and 65 percent of females said that sometimes children 'need a good hard spanking'. I'm not for it, I don't agree with it I think there are better methods, however I don't have kids. I'm just very surprised that on here so many claim that it's never happened to them or they've never done it. Also surprised at what some people seem to think it involves, parents who have said they've done it on here have been treated like they've beaten up their kids. Not understanding that at all. I would never have any hard feelings towards my parents for giving me a smack on the arse for when I was misbehaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'm naive because people have the need to hit there children for discipline reasons?Why don't they hit there children in public when there kid needs disciplined? Because they know it's wrong. There is no reason as an adult to hit yer own child. No your naive because you don't seem to know it's a common thing. And of course kids get smacked in public. Last sentence I would agree. I don't think it's the right way to discipline a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
