It is all a bit 50 shades of grey and Max Mosley.

Why... would anyone be soaping up their father's bum?

Something to do with imperial leather soap?

As a parent I don't get the logic of whacking a child. If I don't thump my fiance to get her to do what I want, why the hell would I thump my daughter do get her to do what I want? It's utterly illogical.

The use of violence or threats of violence is always bad parenting.

That said, it's normal to want to give a kid who is badly misbehaving a thump. Good parenting is about avoiding screaming, shouting, and balling a fist to launch your little pride and joy through the window.

I'm guessing your fiancé isn't a child, so there's no comparison really.

Note the upper case F, which indicates a title rather than a relationship. Sometimes, grammar does matter

Yes, we don't hit adults who don't do as we say, but it's fine to hit children.

Maryanne loves a whack to the arse, she says it enhances the lovehoney 50 shades of grey jazz. She is a grown adult by the way.

Like I said, there's no comparison. These threads will bring out the extremes on both sides anyway. I never at all said it was fine to hit children, I'm just saying there's no comparison between a child and an adult, and we don't treat them the same, and we don't expect the same of them, so that whole comparing the way parents discipline their children with how they interact with other adults just fails on so many levels.

Isn't it illegal now anyway?

I'm not sure it does fail on the most basic of levels. I don't hit my husband because I respect him. I don't hit my son because I respect him. For me it's as simple as that.

No but it should be.

I was never, not once, hit, slapped, whacked, smacked or otherwise abused as a child.

Against all odds, in spite of this terrible neglect, I've managed to stay off drugs, keep out of prison, avoid a life of crime, and lead a productive life.

Not specifically. The defence of 'reasonable chastisement' was removed from the legislation, meaning that in cases of child neglect or abuse, a person cannot use "reasonable chastisement" as a defence if they are charged with child neglect or abuse.

My neighbours child ( a girl aged 5) was in her back garden yesterday afternoon wildly kicking a ball about while I hung clothes out.
The ball smacked of their kitchen window quite hard and her mother told her in no uncertain terms to find something else to do ( the garden is too small for ball games) of course 30 seconds later the ball smacks even louder and the mother marches out and taking the ball gives her one swift slap across the bare legs with her hand.
Cue howls of more fury then pain but as far as I'm concerned she deserved the slap, she was warned and it didn't do her any harm.
3 nice kids well mannered well behaved.

You just witnessed a hate crime and saw a child being put on the road to life-long PTSD.

How could you fail to be triggered by this?

What's the point of this?

Are you pretending someone suggested this - or anything like it - so you have a chance to use the buzzwords?

I can of course completely understand why people make the comparison. For me it absolutely isn't as simple as that though, and it never will be. I don't view my wife in the same way as I view my child. In an attempt to be objective, the comparison simply comes off as an abstract concept that ignores the fact that ignores human individuality.

Shoehorn this sh!t into any thread, and then hey presto, you can complain that it's all over the place and there's no avoiding it.

I presume your joking around in some way. PTSD ? 5 minutes afterwards she was cycling her little bike around the road with another little girl.
PTSD ...hate crime ...crazy crazy world.

It doesn't sound like they're very well behaved. Not that it was truly awful behaviour, but she had to repeatedly tell the child not to do it.I wonder if it's a regular occurence.
Confiscating the ball would have been another option.

It's a whole new kind of persecution complex. Persecuted by things that didn't happen, were never said, and have nothing to do with anything.

I took it as a prematurely pre-emptive strike against anyone who would disagree with hitting a 5 year old, painting them as a hand-wringing, easily triggered SJW who can't cope with any adversity in life because their parents neglected to harden them up by belting them at every available opportunity.

Which, of course, nobody said.

I'm familiar with the posters take on a few things.
