Now I would like to digress upon a phenomenon I have observed concerning Smacking Parents.
We muse here on those parents in the lower socio-economic groups who frequent pound shops and bargain bin superettes their miserable rebellious brood in tow.
Not the respectable middle-class teacher parent for example who delivers an infrequently carefully considered bedroom punishment smacking in accordance with Societys’laws and rules.
No, I muse upon the sort of whiny parents who drag their constantly “misbehaving “children around lower-class public venues causing aghastness and miserable negativity to all within the hearing and vision range of their rather ugly persons.
