I absolutely agree with you!!       I raised three children,  and for the most part, a swat on the bottom  or the hand was all that was needed,  I was not one of those parents that "counted to ten"  good grief,  who is the adult and who is the child???  And some parents will stand there counting to ten,  oh 15 times,  and wonder why their child won't listen to them!!  

But the one spanking I did have to give,  was with a newspaper......    up the stairs and to  to her bedroom  and she got the message.....  of course when she re-told the story (called her daddy,  grandma and aunt to tell on me!  I had the day off from work  and her 'saviours" were at work) ,  it was up the main stairway,  down the hall,  down  the back stairs,  and thru the house one more time  ha ha!!         She was being a sassy pants,  and I don't or didn't give 15 warnings,  when I said enough,  that is exactly what I meant.    And that one good spanking with a newspaper (which you must know got her attention, certainly didn't hurt her physically , it did hurt  her feelings) knew I was serious.....

Oh gosh, I wish   for those times when life was so much more simple, our children were babes,  and we (moms and dads) had control!!      Thank God, we can at some time see them grow into all that we wanted their lives to be.....

I was brought up with spankings as well....I know I hated them, but I learned by boundries and sure learned to obey quickly. After we got spanked we'd be sat down and talked to. I think it worked for me, no matter how much I disliked it, I learned from it. (Slapping, beating, cursing, whipping....thats alot different and awful compared to a whack on the butt a few times.)

I responded to that post. Shall we start a controversial one? He He! Lets do! My response to spanking.

Well, I had six kids. So maybe Im not in the loop so to speak about this particular subject. Some of my children never got a spanking in their lifetime and then some of them did. I remember when my 3rd son was about 4 years old. Whenever we went somewhere, either out in the yard to the store etc, he would take off running toward the street. Constantly! One day he almost got hit by a car. Did he learn no. The next time he did it, I ran after him leaving the others to wait on me and when I got hold of him I spanked him good! I mean good!  Never had the issue again because he was afraid (yes, afraid) he would get another, and yep, he would have. Now he is 36 years old and it is a big joke in the family.  Did it wound him? no Permanantly damage him? NO.  Does he abuse his children or feel like I dont love him? NO

The results are in the pudding so to speak. IMO
