I don't like smacking and intend never to smack any of my children.

However I was smacked as a child and it's hard not to have that reflex of wanting to hit, so yeah good lot smacking did me just taught me I should solve things with violence. I'm obviously not a violent person bit when DH annoys me I wack him with my hand I hare when I do it because it's not right.

To me smacking is abuse and teaching violence, like if you are a smacked how would you feel if your child hit you can't really be angry at them as that's what you have taught them!
