I have never claimed to be logical--but I do have a sense of fairness. By my definition, "wopping" means a quick, light "smack" on the bottom. Spanking is many wops, sometimes hard wops. Slapping (which to me means on the face) is definitely not good.

I think we have similar views on child-rearing. I don't believe in physical violence. Spanking one's child out of frustration is not what I'm talking about. But to teach a pre-verbal child that an electic cord is "bad," how else to do than to slap a hand (gently)? That's my definition of wopping too, by the way.

I'm uncomfortable with this, because I think we all have different definitions of spanking, and wopping, and discipling. I knew what JLA meant, and I knew that Christine misunderstood.

And I would probably define myself as a namby pamby liberal, but since I'm not logical, I'm not quite sure....
