My crime?
I dont hit my children.
Your response to me as a whole for that crime is .... well.

I find this quite incredible coming from the man who accused me of hitting my children and no matter how many times I explained to him exactly my distinction between hitting and smacking and my reasons and logic for doing the latter he then went on to say "so who is hitting your children?"
Perhaps if anyone should have taken offence here it should have been me.
I am not saying he is wrong not to smack his children, what I have done is ask for his alternative solution in situations where I have used a smack and yet he has declined to offer me one. I do appreciate Steven coming back with his suggestions but I'm still at a loss to know what to do in the situation where a smack on the back of the wrist has been my way of keeping a toddler out of immediate danger (such as the flame/fire comment by Simon)
If anyone can tell me, I am willing to learn - but so far no-one has done so.
