[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. I'm really proud of myself for never spanking.  I grew up getting hit by both parents, and grew up afraid of my father, and inherited his rage issues.  And I worked (and still work) really hard at not taking rage out on my children.

I have screamed harshly enough that I've hurt my throat for two days, a few times (once was for running into a busy parking lot with a lot of blind spots) because she was angry at me.  I've grabbed arms a few times.  But I've never spanked any of my kids. [/quote]

+1 on the first part. I grew up getting spanked very occasionally and it resulted in fear of speaking up in general and I still suffer from self worth issues. I also have rage issues that I am working hard at getting rid of.

If we're not supposed to hit other adults we shouldn't hit children who are helpless and can't defend themselves. It also teaches kids that violence is ok in some circumstances when somebody doesn't do what you want them to do. Terrible "lesson" to teach your child. [/quote]
