Do/did you spank your children? Did your parents ever physically discipline you?

If it helps - for every parent there was often at least one grandparent heaping on really terrible advice. That's also from my experience as a parent.
So in part it could be that they were getting really dodgy advice and pressure.
Not that that ever excuses, but it may help explain, at least some of this stuff.

Bless!
And you turned out great!
I will never understand parents or spouses who believe physically punishing your loved ones is a healthy method of reform or communication.

Thank you. TSP! I attribute it to the fact that I was breast-fed till I was 32.

To answer this topic with sincerity, nobody will ever lay a hand to any of my future children, but they wlll be fully indoctrinated on everything that makes the United Kingdom the great power it is.
Also, my first born son is going to be the captain of Rangers.

My mom would spank me. Dad used to come at me with frying pans, step stools, or would just flat out beat the **** out of me.
If I have children, I wouldn’t physically punish them because there are far more effective forms of punishment that don’t involve harming them physically or even emotionally. I mean, honestly if I got in trouble, I was never really worried about getting hit or getting beat, I was more worried about being grounded or having something taken away from me.
I live. I die. I live again.

There are worse ways of hurting a child than by a smack on the ass. Psychological harm is much worse.

I was raised in a black southern baptist home, so spankings sort of went with the territory, although they were an infrequent occurrence.
My dad wasn't really a disciplinarian. His idea of discipline was to give you a quick thwap across the knuckles with his finger or a stern "you better get your act together" look. My mom only spanked us as a last resort, and stopped altogether when we reached the age of 10 or 11. Even still, I can count on one hand the number of times we were spanked.
I personally don't believe in spanking and never utilized it as a form of discipline or behavioral modification.
