- Go to Spanking....Abuse or Discipline Tool?
you better believe I spank my kids
I can count on one hand the times I was spanked, but they where never controlled spankings... Horrible experience.
I've lost count of my kids spankings though, but they usually consist on a swat on the but or a smack on the hand... I doubt they hurt much, but you would think it was the end of the world by the way the kids act.

Good blog,
I lived, I raised, I spanked
Today, my kids don't spank, good for them, and good for me I won't be here to reap the "whirlwind" of undisciplined kids.

mum, I was surprised to find that no one jumped you for this blog.
Usually new moms everywhere disagree vehemently with your view. I'm old, and so I agree with what you say. Judicious punishment, rarely used but to make a point that might, hopefully last for months or years with older children.
I spanked the grandchildren early on in our relationship and never do anymore. It's been years. They see the line in the sand and don't cross it anymore. I also figure that their parents are probably spanking them and they don't need that from me anymore, just back up and unconditional love.
