To be outraged that some people are so quick to judge?!

[sugarmatches]

Okay I know that there are some really strong opinions posted here and of course everyone has a right to their opinions...
But why post something that is so judgemental? Ultimately there are 7,000 responses and no one can be bothered to read through anyway. Seems pointless to me.
I would never judge the way someone chooses to raise their children because people (and children) are all different.
I in no way support abuse, and don't smack myself, but I have a friend who does...and I can ever so slightly see why. But I would never say anything because she has a right to do things her own way as a parent.

Well it is MN isn't it, full of people who live in such perfect worlds that they have no fucking clue what it is like to live in the real world. Imo, of course.

i wonder if the people with really strong opinions have the most to be ashamed of with regard to child rearing

nutcracker - in the real world, smackign a child is wrong...

I was thinking that but didn't say...didn't want to seem judgemental

are you not judging the judgers by starting this thread?

I give up.

I hav entohign to be ashamed of regardign my child rearing skills. i have two beautiufl happy wella djusted daughters, who I do NOT smack. and neither do i let them drink fruit shoots...

okay, i take that back, I am ashamed of my typing!

Dabbles, I certainly did not start this so you could carry your rant over to a different thread.

Well bully for you Dabbles, what do you want a fucking prize ?

I was not trying to judge anyone, but it seems too provocative a subject and too many threads are dedicated to it (with hundreds of posts as well)!!

oh my god its the fruit shoots again

well, yes that would be nice... but i am not expectign to get one, best i can hope for is that my children dont end up fucked up....

isnt that all parents want?

My head hurts trying to think how smacking and fruit shoots are related. Oh please no e-numbers posts...PLEASE!!!

how do fruit shoots fuck you up

okay, i was takign the piss with the fruit shoots bit...

OMg aspartame kills.....

how could u not know that? it will give u brain cancer....

isnt that fucked up?

"I hav entohign to be ashamed of regardign my child rearing skills."

Well, that's your opinion. Others may disagree of course. As you disagree with them.

So my kids will be fucked up because I occasionally smack them ????????? Prove it

I was smacked and am not fuckedx up, neither are my brothers or loads of other people that I know.

Children sometimes end of fucked up despite our best intentions. I was reading an article about Pete Doherty and he had a great upbringing, he even studied English at Oxford.
Maybe she gave him fruits shoots and the effects were delayed!!

everything gives u cancer you are more likely to get run over whilst checking the ingredients on your childs drink whilst crossing the road and believe me thats more likely to happen .

okay fiofio.. I am wrong, for the law states as long as u dont leave a mark it is still just and lawful! tut tut , just be gentle when u smack ppl....
