I was just watching Jenny Jones earlier on ('cos we all know how much I love my trashy tv, hehe), &they had kids on who were really badly behaved &out of control. &basically, they were beating people up, stealing, setting fire to stuff, being disrespectful to everyone, &the parents were doing fuck all about it, or just telling them to stop. I can't help but think that kids like that would be a lot better behaved if they'd had a smack when it first started. I know it's probably an unpopular opinion to have, but I think you SHOULD be able to smack your kids if they're getting out of control. Ideally it shouldn't get that far, &people should be able to control their bairns, but no kid of mine would get away with calling me a bitch, whore, slut, etc, or hit me without a hefty fucking slap.
When I was a kid, any time a parent threatened any of us with a smack it meant that if we didn't pack in whatever the hell it was we were doing, we'd get one, &what's more, that a smackable offence meant you were in deep shit.
