its not hitting your kids its about caring and teaching them. Lazy parents are the ones who dont care, let them out to all hours, let them watch and so what they want, eat what they want at home
Chav parents will in general bring up feckless kids whether they smack them or not and good parents will bring up good kids whether they smack or not
Sometimes a wee smack on the bum can save a thousand words but naturally it needs to mean something and teach something and not just because you are angry
