So, kids spend the day with my brother and SIL, and when they come back, I learn from my 6-year-old daughter that my SIL spanked her on the upper leg three times. She was crying and didn’t want to come back inside after swimming in the pool, and when she made it difficult, that’s when my SIL spanked her.

I asked my SIL about it, and she said it’s no big deal.

Now I’m feeling really unsure. I also don’t know if I’m overreacting.

How would you handle this? Would you address it or let it go?

I have a pool and I would never have spanked someone else's child but I let every parent know that I was the boss of my pool and what I said as the law.  If I had a large party then I would hire two life guards and their word was law.  However, I always insisted that one parent stay for each child.

Pools are a lot of fun but safety is No.1 priority and if I say get out of pool and you don't, you don't get invited back and I don't care how old you are.
