Why smacking has become a hit again....

[SauerKraut]

Ye are all being quoted on it in the Telegraph Online, had ye noticed?! Sorry, can't do links...

here it is. haven't read it yet!

The thread its on about was from nov not yesterday..feel a bit funny being quoted though

I think that article is a bit crap tbh.

There has been and will always be lots of smacking debates on mn and to handpick a few quotes to support a point does not a case make.

I am sure OBM would be vrey pleased that all her eloquently anti-smacking posts were counted

The conclusion that if we, modern mothers , knew about more extreme, cruel or unusual forms of punishment we would change our opinions on smacking is frankly patronising, ill-considered and wrong.

Just because I am aware that some people humilate and batter their children doesn't mean I think it is acceptable to smack my own dcs. I also don't time-out or socially isolate or humilate them either as a punishment.

Oh and I am not smug
