Since I'm already labeled a :loser:...

...might as well bring it up.
Recently went out with the daughter who was having melt down and couldn't behave. We're having dinner (8yrs old) and she's pouting at the table, won't talk or look at us. I told her to change the attitude, it's not going to be tolerated. This goes on and on and finally I reached over and smacked her leg. Not hard, just a, "I'm not going to put up with this attitude" reminder. Now she cries, wipes her eyes and is magicly in a better mood. 5mins tops after the "smack". I look over and this older woman is clearly staring me down and pissed off.

Should I be ?? My being a and all. I'm just not sure anymore.

Here's where you went wrong. You smacked her in public where the goobers could see.

You always take them into the bathroom to whip their ass.

We'd already had the bathroom talk, she didn't get a ass whipping.
Actually I think I embarrassed her. She straightened right up.
Actually she was pleasent the rest of the evening.

You should have said: "What? You want next?"

ask your waitress for some extra straws and as a reward allow your daughter to shoot the paper at the lady

Should have (in a calm and soft voice) tell the daughter: "DON'T MAKE ME OPEN A CAN OF WHOOP ASS HERE YOUNG LADY" Then pat her on the head and smile..

Poster, I think you should stay away from children - you do not seem to know how to deal with them.

First, why would you smack a kid who's just sitting there? If she were acting up, that's one thing. But when they pout and won't speak to you, that's when you enjoy the silence.

Second, why do you care that some strange lady is angry about you disciplining your child?
