Would you ever hit your kids?

[SirNick]

I could never hurt a child. Others or my own..

It really would not matter what they did, I just could never.

[Suspective]

Obviously I will. They are bound to do something that will really piss me off one day and what do they get? A slap.

If your just gonna talk to them "Don't do that please honey" they are just gonna turn around and throw it back in your face. Trust me, I know lots of people who use the "sensitive tone" option, and there children are growing up not giving a damn what their parents say or do.

Just think about it. If you were going to do something, say like get drunk, would you rather be worried about coming home and getting a few slaps or coming home and getting told off and sent to bed and grounded?

I would be more scared about the slapping, that'll make me think twice.

It has been proven that children would prefer a slapping compared to a grounding. As a slapping doesn't last anything close to being grounded.

[sammy]

yeah if theyre being really unreasonable or horrible. theres clearly a difference between child abuse & disciplining your child. it's never done me any harm. ;] xo

[Jessie]

I mean a small tap on the back of the legs but never full wack, I just don't think i would be able to it. ;O

[Gibs960]

Yeah, hit them as in slap on the arse not punching them every 2 minutes

[Special]

A slap on the hand at the most - and then i'd regret it lol

[Bun]

yeh they'd get a smack on the arse.

[AgnesIO]

Yes I would. Parents that just sit back and go 'Aw Lilly please don't do that it's mean, and make mummy sad ok buttercup?' are the reason why we have yobs and idiots in this country. Teach them right or wrog, but sometimes you need to be firm and they will know what not to do and what is acceptable. Mind you in Britain it is pretty much accepted that people go around knives and stab people - and a couple of years in jail.

[jackass]

No, I wouldn't.
