Scarlett O'Hara

I think that it is a very difficult situation to say whether physical discipline is okay or not. When you're under a lot of pressure with a morgage, busy job and have children it's hard to keep tabs of how their behaviour is changing when you don't see them. When you've had a hard day at work, you've got to find a lot of extra energy stores to keep your kids on track and behaving appropriately. So you're not necessarily going to just put them in a corner every 5 minutes until they get it, as time is limited. So if you do give them a light smack it puts them in their place far quicker. But that doesn't mean I agree with it. I'm concluding that everyone is different and no one finds looking after children a piece of cake.
