Smack question?

Helllloo

Sorry if this seems like a wierd question, but i just wanted to ask some of you something about smacking.
With me, I generally use a variety of different disciplining techniques in my house, which includes smacking sometimes, which means 1 good smack/pat on a little bottom. However, my question comes when I sometimes lose my rag, and someone has done something real serious, I sometimes give 2 or 3 small smacks on the botty. I just want to know, is this OK? Am i the only mummy who gives more than 1 plonk in some situations?

P.S. The other day I was talking about this to my good friend, and she says that when she has to smack, she smacks on the arm etc? Is this commonplace or something. Ive always associated 'smacking,' with 'bottoms,' do others agree????

Soz for the lon questions, but would much appreciate suggestions from other mums!!!

In fact thats how my DD slept through the night first time - i told DP id had enough of night wakings, expressed some milk and left him to it.

I woke in the morning to say what time did you get up and he said "I havent yet....".

Ah well - we were nearly coming to see you and froggy for that cup of tea! we originally had tickets for London (don't ask me where) but then they extended the tour and they're in Manchester so we sold the London tickets and got some for M/cr.

yes, it may be a bit difficult when he retires - I'm used to watching all the rubbish on tv and he used to watching all the sport he wants - we're good at compromise though .

I saw Thea's fairy wings picture - I was shocked at how grown she is since the last picture I saw and that can't be that long ago!
