exactly, read what i wrote!! A smack on the bum or hand when, misbehaving is fine IMO, but a good lashing is not!!!

 

however, we all know that there are some nasty twats in this world who do not know where to draw the line. But to totally ban smacking IMO, is a wrong move, I feel a child needs & thrives well from mild discipline.

Plus having been knocked about a bit I'd forgotten what I'd done and was left seething.
