Well done-karma on its way-personally i think smacking is lazy parenting because it takes more effort to keep calm and deal with a tantrum in a non-violent manner than it does to smack a child and force them to stop doing/playing with etc-but never thinking about the consequences.
But like many people have said on here were all entitled to our own views.
