I get comments all the time. A neighbour told me to smack my 10 month old for crying a lot when she was teething & when I said "No, I don't think a smack would solve anything" She promptly ended our friendship! Seriously... because I wouldn't take her advice and smack my teething baby, she decided I was an inadequate mother and couldn't be around me.

I decided I didn't need someone like that in my life anyway.
OH my GOD! Thats just wrong on SO MANY LEVELS!!! A smack is fine for misbehaviour from a 3yo (is thats not your thing, I respect that, but it worked with mine after she played with the heater and nearly burned the house down, so I stand by it when necessary), but a TEETHING 10 month old???
