To Spank or Not To Spank Kids

[swissmiss04]

I received 2 spankings my whole life. My mother put the fear of God in me early on, and it seems to have worked. Both of the spankings were at relatively young ages (around 2 or 3) and definitely got the point across. And I definitely deserved it. The threat of a spanking was enough for me. Usually sitting in the corner was enough punishment for me. If I had kids (scary thought) I would only spank them if absolutely necessary. No belts, shoes, etc. That's horrible.
