My father was still hitting me across the head when I was 17. I'm the only girl, I have never seen him hit either of my brothers and they behaved far worse than me, my older brother punched and kicked me for no reason and trashed my room and never got in any trouble for it.

I still hate my father for it. He's a wimp, he is also one of the most racist and homophobic people I have ever met. He also has no friends.

If u dont mind me butting in, Sounds like ur father was a very angry person internally and as u seen quite the whimp as he didnt face the boys prolly cause he knew he would get his own face answered with force. Im very glad u are clever enough to identifyhis mistakes instead of copying them. woot! u rock

My father hit me when I was smaller and I hate him for it.

I'm a well behaved lad and that's because I wouldn't want my mother to be dissappointed in me and I don't want to dissappoint myself.

Is there a difference between 'hit' and 'smack' ? There is in my opinion. I would not hit my kids. To me, hitting is like self defence, or boxing, or seeting out to cause damage. A smack is a form of quick correction, an attention getter. Throwing a shovel, or step ladder, or any of that crap is wrong. Children need to know there are consequences to their actions, and somethimes they have to think about others, or the others they meet in later life will not have any problem in educating them!

I love my children, and they love me. But I have had to smack them on the bum or hand when they were younger, and I hope to God I never have to do it again as I always feel bad afterwards. But by goodness, kids can push a parents buttons! I think that the personality of a kid is well set by the time they are a teenager, so its too late for any form of physical correction.

Sounds exactly the same as me. When i was younger my daddy took out all his anger on me and never touched my brothers at all.
Although my story ended happily in a way. He took a heart attack and has been on medication ever since that has calmed him down and turned him into a reasonable person.

In answer to the OP, prepare to be hit back!

I'll get mad if I post anything else, violence never solves anything, thats why its against the law.
