You just lightly smacked him? I would have made his head spin with just one punch to his head. I'm sick and tired of hearing people say, OMG, don't hit your kid, you'll get in trouble. Ummm, I don't think so. No one will tell me how to parent. That's the problem today, parents can't be parents. I'm not afraid of the Family Service people. I think once you become fearful of doing what you think is best, the parenting gets lost.
You were right in what you did. No kid should talk to their mother that way. That is not respect and you smacking him showed him just how disrespectable he was. You took some things away from him too? Good for you. Sounds like you had enough BS and pulling up to the plate. You go girl, home run coming in!!!! Mother to 4, now grown and on their own....I think
