no matter what, a kid can not be slapped you need to have a long talk with him and make him understand your point of view.

some people are just too rough with children. it can be difficult for them to relate to the mentality of a child, and that slapping does not help, but hurts. have a long talk with him and let him know that hitting is not okay with you. talking is probably the best thing to do in this situation. and let your child know they are loved and be extra gentle with them!

Every time he hits her, wait till he isn't paying attention and whack the back of his head with a cast iron skillet. If he dies, I'll help you dispose of the body. That son of a bits doesn't deserve children.

If your husband can not control his temper, how does he expect a 2 year old to control his temper. Your husband is hitting his son just for the child's misfortune of being exactly like his dad. Personally, I would have some fear of my child growing up with memories of being slapped. Remind your husband that one of these days when he is too old to walk and too feeble to feed himself, it might be nice to have a son around with good memories of his childhood.

this is the hardest part of parenting... working with your partner on what is apropriate. everyone has different philosophies. my wife and I have similar issues. assuming he is not injuring the child, I will advise you from my opinion children must be disciplined and learn obedience at a young age or they grow up... well like most kids are these days. the younger they are the less they ability to comprehend time out, restriction and the more punishments must be instant, pain infliction is the only thing quick enough to meet that end. whne you tell a child to stop something and they keep doing it till you stop them there needs to be a punishment they can associate with the act of disobedience rather than jsut this happens when I am being punished. fits however I would not use a slap except when they scream at the top of their lungs, for a tantrum I prefer to bind them with my body, teh harder they resist the less they can move. they do not get out untill they have calmed down and listened to you. most importantly, when they start a "fit" you can not ease off until they give up. if you fail it will get worse and worse because they learn they are incharge

I suggest counseling and parenting classes.

Next time he does it... Smack him in the F***ing face and ask him how he likes it. What a douchebag!

I believe in spanking, which is unpopular with a lot of people, but NEVER slap. That's ridiculous.

It is abusive. Tell him to cut it out or you'll report him. Get into counseling - or at the very least a parenting class.

Slapping a two-year-old is totally unacceptable, whether you believe in corporal punishment or not. He really needs to attend a parenting class.

Depends on the slaps....if the slapping is hard, then its abuse, otherwise, i wouldnt think he is being abusive ...try and tell him that u dont like that and see his reaction.
