Yes. And it was a heartfelt, honest and caring post. I hope the OP reads it twice.

A life of a single mom. Yet one of those days again.

My boys are 6 (kindergarden) and 7 (2nd grade). I picked them up from school, we were in a hurry. We had a wrestling meet to go to. We get to the elementary school, have to get to the bathroom, my boys need to be watched continually. My youngest one was throwing his fit, doing everything that he shouldnt of been doing, I spanked his but,just once, than he being the drama king. Screaming to the top of his lungs. I tapped his cheeck, and wouldnt you know it, he screamed more. Than some kind of lawenforcement person decided to come and intervene. Asking if everything was ok. I said yes,than my oldest son saids she slapped him across his face. OMG. Im already pissed. Than walking out I told him I did spank his butt and than he told me that,that was half the truth. What. OMG.

Than he felt the need to watch me. I felt like telling him if you can do a better job, than do it. I was so mad.

I also went to law enforcement school. In the statute it states you can use reasonable force on a child. One spanking just once is reasonable. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrr.

These are the times it sucks being a single mom. Idid call the boys dads, dad (grandpa) he is a retired deputy. He told me, that it was ok and not to worry about it.

What 2 do..sad
Heres what to do: quit having anymore kidslaugh laugh

I am with you. It is hard. I had a neighbor call the police on me because I yelled at my kid and he screamed. They had to come into my house and check my son's body over to make sure I wasn't beating him. A smack on the butt, come on. Everyone tells us to controll our kids, but we can't disipline in any way with out social services getting involved. What about people who are actually beating on their kids. I know someone who has actually knocked her kid out cold. Yeah I called as soon as she bragged about it. was anyhting done? NO! WTF!
