a question about smacking

[NaughtyNigel]

what is better
a slap when truly frustrated?
or after discussing the wrong behaviour and them knowing the consequences a set number of smacks?

first if you are a human being.

first if you are a human being.

but doesn't that mean you are lashing out without thinking about ti which is no better than shaking a baby for screaming or smashing things up -

Neither is good, but as hercules1 says, the first is a natural reaction for many normal human beings (but hopefully very rarely!) whereas the second seems pre-meditated and calculated and if you were calm enough to discuss the wrong behaviour, then you should use a non-violent form of punishment. Or maybe none at all - just discussing the behaviour might be enough.

I reckon that a good slap across the bum is best - at least if you leave marks, there is less chance someone will see it!!

My folks smacked me - and I'm OK!!

this has got to be a challenge thread definitely not for real

Nah,

A slap for every day of the month with an R in it

And two slaps without

partly a challenge but really would be interested.
i've slapped in anger and it bloody works - the behaviour stops there and then but i don't like losing control
so would it be better to add to the rules.
3 warnings
if behaviour continues we discuss it
then a set number of spanks?

No way is this real

don't rise ladeees

why not?
a real behaviour question.
am really interested in opinions.

This is not a bloody cod challenge.
cod does not rule the world
it is a real query.
bog off bitch

I was hit without warnings but calmly and coolly, my parents never lashed out in anger. So, it was 'good' smacking.

And I have never ever forgiven them for it.

Thing is, if my DH lost his temper and hit me, I could imagine maybe forgiving him. I mean, he'd have to sort out anger issues etc etc etc, but it is an understandable thing to do.

But if he calmly and cooly said 'ok, well, I don't like what you did, and you're not listening to me, so I'm going to hit you'????

How's parole going, naughtynigel?

eh?

Is this thread a new and modern version of Mornington Crescent?

I lurve MC. What you do is name random tube stations in turn and then people listening in think it is a REAL game and try to work out the rules. Which they can't because there are no rules, OR they get referred to Trumpington's variations or something.

Anyhow NQC thought it was a real smacking thread

it is smacking alley game
like mornington crescent but for people who think they can do the cod challenge

What a strange question, why would you even post such an odd thread? Not trying to wind us up are you? I see why you call yourself NAUGHTYnigel! Just in case you really are posing a seious question, I would seek help for even considering the second option.

I think the second option is preferable to the first, surely?

Fantabby has been caught by Smacking Alley too

Hello?????? I would re read my post if I were you Quattro, I did say I believed the thread to be a wind up????? Maybe it's you who is caught up in it!

And by the way, it's incredibly cruel and not really mumsnet appropriate to single out posters such as NQC and belittle their replies. I thought this site was meant for help, advice and a chit chat not humilliation and playground bitchiness.

IMO neither.

Not sure if this is a real thread. But here is my tuppenceworth - I don't think it's right to smack unless it is a matter of life and death - i.e. sticking a fork into the socket - I'm not sure I woudl even do that TBH.

But if you decide to do it, you should do it following a discussion. Otherwise you are showing the child that it is ok to lash out and hurt people because you feel bad or upset. (What do you do later when they smack their friend because they aren't happy with them taking their toy or something).

Huh? I didn't think Quattrocentro was being bullying or bitchy - she just pointed out that I thought it was a real smacking thread. Statement of fact.

I've not got involved in the Challenge.
