Would you ever hit your kids?

[Sharon]

I wouldn't, no as it's wrong however angry I'd gotten with them. I don't believe in child abuse and never will it's plain wrong and hurtful, not including setting a bad example to your children.

Your views / opinions?

[HotelUser]

Of course I wouldn't hit my kids.

[camera]

def not.

[Rozi]

There's a difference between child abuse and giving your child a small slap if they're in hysterics. I wouldn't say slapping your child is a necessary way to discipline them, but very very very occasionally my mum will slap me or my brother (mostly in the past) if we were being very unreasonable or really horrible and I see this as a perfectly ok thing to do. Obviously if you're going around slapping a 3 year old as hard as you can on the cheek it's awful, but tbh I don't think anyone on this forum is a future child abuser.

[Sharon]

You never know what people are like though.

[Alkaz]

Yes. It's not child abuse and children need discipline in their life, a firm hand will teach them that.

[Sharon]

Joe really ... I wouldn't like you as ma mum

OH **** YOUR A GUY ~ I WOULDN'T LIKE YOU AS MY DAD

[Alkaz]

Its not like I would smack my child when ever it did something wrong but if it did something really wrong then ye I would. It never done me much harm nor has it done 'many' people harm over the last god knows how many hundreds of years.

[Pyroka]
