Do any other mums smack their DC's on the bare bum? What age would you say is best to stop smacking on the bare bum?

This is a joke right?

By SheherazadetheGoat on Fri 16-May-08 18:20:31

probably just before they turn round and thump you back.

I don't think this is a wind-up actually.
Which is sad

I find smacking other mothers bare bums livens up playgroup.

By riven on Fri 16-May-08 18:23:36

when they turn round and thump you back you just have to stop.
And don't their nappies get in the way?

By BoysAreLikeDogs on Fri 16-May-08 18:23:40

Sophie,again, do you smack your children ???

By scanner on Fri 16-May-08 18:23:42

My children don't have bums, they have bottoms.

By princessmel on Fri 16-May-08 18:23:49

By ditavonteesed on Fri 16-May-08 18:25:22

Seriouskly do you smack your children, do you think it is appropriate?

By ditavonteesed on Fri 16-May-08 18:33:12

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
