I agree, I haven't had kids but people underestimate how hard it is

I think smacking should be a last resort. Not something that should be done regularly.

When I have kids, I trust that I'll be able to teach them basic norms, values, healthy and safety without the need to exert physical force upon them. I couldn't ever imagine hitting a young child, let alone if they were my own flesh and blood. It is a brutal and quite frankly laughable way of trying to control your children. The message it sends out it disgusting, and as someone who disagrees with any kind of violence, smacking my children would reek of hypocrisy.

There's ways of going about things without the need to use violence or physical force. If you can't, you aren't capable of being a civilised person and you are certainly not qualified to be a decent parent.
