Parenting is a piece of piss all things considered and it’s staggeringly simple not to hit children if you don’t have an uncontrollable urge to harm kids. You should run classes, you'll make a killing, a lot of people seem to struggle one way or another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Can we ban smacking of kids and introduce mandatory smacking for idiots? Aye, bash on. Start in Barnsley. Those c***s need a good fucking hiding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to lurch and grab them or something, or say they reach out to touch a hot ring on a cooker or something that could hurt them and instinctively you slap their hand to stop them, that to me would be normal. I have this vision of someone stopping their child from suddenly running out into the road and then holding them up to hit them on the legs or something. It doesn't make sense. Not having been there but the smack/sense of drama about the whole process turns a 'Darwin moment' into a bit of a drama (with a smack) that the kid remembers because the parent is so affected by it. An event that sticks with the kid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change it up a bit It’s not fishing to suggest fully grown adults should be forbidden from smacking babies/toddlers ffs. It is genuinely disturbing to think that people see that as acceptable behaviour. Striking defenceless children. It’s abhorrent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is your first reaction to hit them... wherever it is you hit them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Maybe bosses should be able to smack employees whose work isn't up to scratch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off-topic, but the number of perma-seething right wing bigots who were demanding Clarkson keep his job was unbelievable. Threatening to boycott the BBC and shite like that if the guy he punched wasn't fired instead. Presumably they would all be okay with getting punched whilst at their work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second guessing, fortunately I haven't been there but I would imagine once you've dragged the kid from in front of the bus, grab them to you in a big hug of 'thank God' (even if you don't believe) that you feel the need to make it a memorable occasion that they won't repeat so instead of buying them ice cream you physically chastise them in an appropriate way that will stay with them as a lesson. Or at least that's the logic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
