That's hard to say though, society and school is a major factor in kids behaviour and that's pretty detached from the parent's control

A child's behavior doesn't come into it, parents shouldn't have to resort to violence regardless. Ruling kids with the fear of being hurt is a terrible way of raising children.

I don't know if you can say that tbh in fact you basically just said my mum is a terrible parent. Until we have kids, we won't know what's best.

Think that's a bit of an overreaction.

I just took it as it was said to me. I'm not overreacting or looking for an argument.

I think the second part of my post is still valid, we won't know how to bring our children up until we're parents.

Sorry but that's how I feel, smacking is for lazy parents.
