Discipline: Spanking
I've seen a couple of TV shows recently that have dealt with this issue, and Mr. KKC and I started having a discussion about it. I'm really not sure what I think, so I thought I'd pitch it to you all.
Were you spanked as a child? How did your parents do it? Was it an instantaneous thing, like "I was caught with my hand in the cookie jar; mom pulled me down and swatted me"? Or was it more a "They sent me to my room, then came in later and spanked me" thing? What did you have to do to result in a spanking?
For the parents, do you spank your kids? Have you ever wanted to? Why or why not?
Feel free to digress from these questions... I just want to hear what people's thoughts are.
