Ideally it should not include smacking at all.
But sometimes the urge to do so is overwhelming when you have a 2.5 year old running amok and not listening to a thing you say and shows their worst aspects especially in public!
While growing up we did get smacked on and off, but the generations after us were not - at least in middle class/upper middle class households...Now its pretty rare here.
Do you think you are a good parent (or will make a good parent?)
No i have to say I dont really ever see myself as a parent. I also dont think I would make a good one.
I am not a big child fan and find the whole kid thing drives me crazy. Not sure I would cope with it.
What is/was your relationship with your parents like?
Not great to be honest. My father passed away few years ago but can't say I really had a very good relationship with him...I mean not hostile, infact my mother stays with me for last couple of years, but by then I was so used to living separately that it is a bit difficult for me to be together again on a daily basis.
ps: like you steve, I was never a child friendly guy (still not really) and never thought I would make a good father either...but all that changed when we had our own little one. :)
Do you take prints of photographs nowadays or its only digital?
All digital for me personally. I never got on with print. It was a bit before my interest in photography.
Do you own a camera? If so would you like to get a better one?
I've recently acquired an all singing and dancing Panasonic Lumix digital: incredible zoom range, viewfinder as well as screen, loads of override functions. But it's rubbish. The viewfinder and rear screen can't be used on a bright day, the controls are fiddly and not intuitive. The instruction book is hopeless. So it's a case of 'point and hope' rather than 'point and shoot'. I'd like to change it for a decent DSLR.
Do you think people are taking too many photos now digital technology makes it all too easy to take photos?
I do actually. Photo's have really lost there value I believe. While its easier to get good photos which is important, they now stay on a computer more and rarely get seen. This is a shame.
Do you keep photos on computer now or do you still put them in an album or something?
I have a computer only at work so most of my pics are on a USB stick.
Do you take selfies?
Not often. Not in the familiar way.
What time do you go to bed?
I should have done it at midnight. But I'm trying a review in the movie thread.
When will you wake up in the morning?
Normally up for work at 6am but no work tomorrow. So 7:30 -8am
Same Q?
