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.

oh my god evenhope - you are saying you smack your special needs child?

fgs....

what i am saying is that people who genuinely abuse their children do it on the quiet,
Smacking isnt the best answer but as a mum and a nursery nurse with many years experience i can see both sides of the coin.this is avery complex issue with no right or wrong answer and no absolutes.

Abuse can take many forms and as adults we see abuse in our chilhoods that our parents may not have realised they were doing.

Dabbles - I think that your opinion is valid (as is Nutty's) but your attitude doesn't encourage debate. You sound so....erm...aggressive. Which is ironic really.

yeh, I imagine dabbles punching someone

I am not a violent person. j

fuckign hell, u ppl are so judgmental...

there you go and not all people who smack their children are

well actually they are... if u smack your child, that is an act of violence, tehrefore u commited an act of violence, therefore u r violent...

Smacking children is Wrong. It is Wrong.

Accept it. control yourselves, you are an adult fgs.

Just accept it people. and move on. If you cant accpet it, get some therapy.

can you control your tongue?

willu be this uncompromising with your children when they are older cause you will have a nightmare its easy to ban fruit shoots when they are little.

Dabbles, you are wonderfully finger-pointy.

I just LOVE your post of "fuckign hell, u ppl are so judgmental..."

Oh the beautiful irony.
