Well it didn't have no problems with me tbh and I was lucky that my mum grew up in a traditional Caribbean home so knew the difference

So parents that grow up in other cultures teach their kids different things?
Who knew... So culturally if you grow up in a traditional Caribbean home in the UK smacking is fine or no?

I think you are failing to take in what I said??

My mum was beaten black and blue for things such as smoking or having a bf or stuff like that

So threw her experiences she knew what real punishment was and that allowed her to give her kids a total different punishment to which she received

Failing to take in?... How am I to know that's what you were inferring :/

I still don't know if you were smacked or not, your mothers experience was horrible I appreciate why she wouldn't want to revisit that with her own kids no matter how traditional.

I was slapped but it was only once and when I was really naughty and it was only a slap that left a sting for a few minutes nothing more
