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.

sorry sn son.

Blimey Dabbles, you really are going all out to be offensive aswell as patronising now aren't you.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, stupid cunts

a do love a compliment.

Do you see your basic error, dabbles ? Do you ?

I think, if you took the time to actually listen/read posts on this (and other smacking threads) that you'd discover that most MNer's share your opinion on smacking. The way you put your argument forward MAKES people want to tell you to fuck right off and argue the toss with you, whether they believe in the argument or not.

wow nutcracker, you may think my tone is patronising, but you openly admitted you hit your chidlren.. and your profile has your picture on it.. lets hope ppl dont recognise u in the street...

Excuse me but my son in not "retarded" thank you very much He has ADHD. If you had any experience of it perhaps you wouldn't be quite so quick to judge.

Think you need some sort of help dear...

That should've been 'I do love a compliment'

ahem...evenhope's post of 21.53

'
It's interesting that Dabbles has 2 DDs. Does anyone with 3 DSs (including 1 with ADHD) have the same smug attitude? '

cant see the word retarded...and if you check profile you will find that evenhope's youngest ds is 15.

Dabbles u r jus chrmin (nt)

Whats that then Dabbles, a threat ? Cos I really wouldn't bother.

I openly admitt that I occasionally smack my kids yeah not beat them every day of the friggin week.

sorry-x posts evenhope i thought you'd gone and that comment was rather offensive toward you i thought.

No idea what this thread is about, but second what pagwatch said - the word 'retard' is horrible.

OMG. Am walking away as I really think evil lurks here.
Do you ever think that sometimes you can mess up a child just by being angry, argumentative, vulgar and just very non-pc? There are many kids of child abuse and they are all wrong.
And let me tell you, when your child is a teenager and switches to lager (and whatever else) you will be praying for the days of fruit shoots!!

not a threat. an observation.

tbh, i dotn really give a fuck what u do to your children. lets just hope they forgive u when they are older...

um - Personally I don't smack so not sure what point you are making.
And I think she mentioned ADHD which, if it actually does mean retarded is going to require quite a bit of reevaluation by the medical community. I think ADHD is to do with attention, concentration and impulse control and not anything to do with learning ability.
Dabbles . My son accepts your apology but please calm down. You are being really silly and if you are trying to make a genuine point, you won't make it by being so aggressive because no one will take you seriously.

sugarmatches - angry, argumentative, vulgar and just very non-pc?

actually I am none fo those things....

Dear Dabbles please, I beg you, don't use textspeak. It makes it frightfully difficult to read what you are posting

i do apologise for the retard comment, i didnt mean to offend.

sorry evenhope - cross posted

That little comment about the photo was frightening!
This is getting scary and I am even switching my computer off for fear the evil will come through my firewall!!

ju - i only really ever abv 'you' - to 'u' for ease of typing, which really i dont is very hard to decipher...

LOL Sugar

Dabbles - Perhaps you should practice what you preach and show some more self-control? You wouldn't then be using offensive words you didn't intend to.

Dabbles, I am afraid you might be.
Reread your comments...C*nt, retard...etc.

Dabbles, it strikes me that you're a seething ball of rage. You may not smack your children but I'd find it difficult to believe that you don't shout at them.

Any how, when I see your name, I imagine a duck's arse, stuck in the air in the middle of a muddy pond ...

... and eeeewwwwwwww, I really want to smack it

lol, sugar. really i dont care what she does, my point was there may be crazee fanatical ppl out there who think abusing children is wrong...
