Just read my newsletter from Mumsnet.
At the bottom it says 1/3 of parents smack see Daily Mail.
Went to Daily Mial - sorry can't do links.
There is a new programme out soon called :
"SMACK And I'm Proud will be shown at 9pm on ITV1 on Thursday For more information on smacking go to www.itv.com/ smack "
Was really shocked at article.
I think Mumsnet is totally anti smacking.
My son is nearly 3.
I have smacked him possibly 4 or 5 times.
My dh has smacked him once.
I believe that what we have done is right.
But I would certainly not say that I am particularly proud.
I believe that society is very anti smacking at the moment.
And I am not sure that I totally agree with that.
BUT, as I said, PROUD, I am not.
And in the article, it said that the 3 families smacked nearly every week.
Now, I can't say I think that is right at all.
These families seem very extreme and I bet that this programme will fuel the anti-smacking sentiment that is around at the moment.
We'll have to wait and see if this programme is totally biased ?????????/
