I will avoid the politics. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> You know how people have the image that Scandinavians have a very free view of nudity and sex compared to Americans? That is kind of true. But when we speak to Americans most of us try to take into account that different cultures have different taboos, so easy enough not to provoke people unnecessarily.Spanking kids (even swatting lightly like you are talking about) is something that works the other way around. It has been against the law here for most of my lifetime, and is something that many people, like me (and Jack it seems) feel strongly about. So, even if it was just a phrase in passing I felt a knife turn around in my heart. I am not saying one culture is wrong, and another is right. I just want to help explain how come some of us react so strongly against something that might seem innocent to you.To touch upon the real topic of the thread: At times I play with kids around. Of course it is sometimes disturbing, but never a big deal. The biggest problems it has caused so far is the DM's daughter claiming his attention now and again as she feels jealous, and the fact that we have to try to keep the noise down at bedtime. (Which we are not that great at.)</blockquote>
