[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got spanked rarely and I did deserve it.

No issues. I married a great man like my dad. Very happily married. [/quote]

+1 except I got hit a lot more and did deserve it. The spankings came when the talking didn't work. My siblings called me 'old iron ass' because I always had to have the last word/it took a long time for me to learn to just shut up and stop arguing when my parents were just trying to keep me safe. Typical youngest born/pushing boundaries. My brothers got spanked here and there. My oldest sister-never. Spanking isn't for everyone (either the spanker or the spankee).

I didn't extrapolate this to mean it was ok to randomly hit others/strangers/spouses as my parents did not verbally abuse or assault each other. They were also very supportive/communicative/involved with all of us and our activities so in our case it definitely wasn't a "I just feel like hitting my kid" situation.

I don't automatically judge anyone either way when it comes to spanking/not spanking their kids. But I have met a few people in life where I think to myself "this person should have been spanked more as a child". [/quote]
