Know this is a bit of a serious one for a friday night but have been thinking about it for a while!
I am certain that I don't ever want to smack my children as I know that I would purely be doing it out of temper. Cannot ever imagine a situation where I would calmly think "I think a smack would help him learn not to do that".
However I have got a horrible temper and have already removed ds from situations being rougher than I would have liked.
Just wondering what you all think and what you do? Is it inevitable that I will lose my temper at some point or do people have successful ways of ensuring that they never lose their temper?
