I am totally 100% against smacking. I was beaten as a child so I can get very vocal on the subject.
Anyway, DS wouldn't settle last night and I know he has teething problems so I nipped down to get some nurofen for him. When in the kitchen I heard a slap. I fired up the stairs and by this point DS was crying. I asked my husband what happened and he said he gave him a little tap. I was like WTF if I heard that down stairs it wasn't a tap it was a slap. I was shaking I was so angry with him.
I took DS to calm him down and husband was now in a huff. I told him that if it was just a tap I wouldn't have heard it downstairs nor would DS be in the state he is in now and that I won't stand for any form of smacking in the house. Hubby promptly got up slammed the door shut and slept in the spare room.
Husband obviously thinks this is ok but there is no way I will stand for it. We've never disagreed on anything like this in the 9 years we've known each other. What can I say to him? He got up and gave DS his breakfast so I could lie in. He's now gone back to bed for an hour.
