Hi guys, I am currently stuck in the TTC section, but hopefully not for long!

Just wanted your thoughts on smacking. I personally dont see a problem with the odd tap on the bottom for an older child who is really misbehaving and is aware of it. I got the occasional smack as a child, and I have the most loving and adoring parents have always been and still are my best friends.

But I know a girl who bought over her not quite 1 year old baby to our house, and she reached to get a magazine off the table and her mum full on yelled at her and smacked her on the hand! :evil: It made me quite uncomfortable

Now, I know for a fact that neither she nor her partner harm her, but I dont think that is acceptable treatment of a baby. As we all know, a baby of that age doesnt understand how to differentiate between right and wrong.

What do you think?
