Actor Martin Freeman admits he smacks his kids when he is 'impatient and at the end of his rope'.
"I know I'm not supposed to do it," the actor said, adding that parenting can make him feel like a failure. DT.
Blogger: As one who supports a smack for extreme naughtiness, vindictiveness or wilful refusal to obey - I am profoundly upset by this confession.
Firstly, it adds grist to the abolitionist mill - you know - the do-gooders who possess no sense of justice or right and wrong.
Secondly, all physical punishments must be the result of a carefully and clearly constructed and predetermined plan.
I accept that striking a child in a burst of rage or frustration is utterly wrong.
