Yeah, that's one reason we went with the no smacking policy
. There is the danger of creep or escalation. Although most people I know grew up with parents who smacked but stayed the right side of the line...Also my daughter told us once she was going to report us to the police and have us arrested for giving her lamb casserole for dinner (which THAT DAY she didn't like). Our neighbors are both Police officers. I was so tempted to ask one of them to pop around in uniform and take her complaint down!
I should add that both my children are some of the nicest, most polite kids you will ever meet. But by God it takes some work. Parenting, the hardest ob in the world and the one you don't get a lick of training for!!
