I am getting very worried about my Husbands over reactions this last while.
Kate wanted to go outside to play after Dinner today so he agreed but told her to put on, and zip up, her coat but she didn't want a coat so he smacked her and put her on naughty step for a few minutes.
He then got annoyed at her when she came over to me crying after the smack, it was a really hard hit he gave poor child.
She did put her coat on and got it zipped by him so she got outside but a lot later than when she asked.
Later on, at about half 9, she asked him if she could stay up another hour, he said no so she took a tantrum so like earlier, he gave her a hard smack, this time on the ear. She came over to me screaming, asking me to give her a big hug and to take her to bed, which I did, it took her about 10mins to calm down though, poor bairn :-(. When I went downstairs, I laid into him about smacking her to hard and told him to never hit her again as it may hurt her and also damage their relationship, I told him to use another form of punishment.
I don't agree with smacking children btw, anyone on here agree and if so, what other form of punishment do you use, I favour a firm telling off?
