[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally I think that people who are over the top against spanking either are bipolar or in recovery, suffered abuse themselves as a child, are the kind of permissive parents who are in denial about their kid's behavior, or started with sweet kids with pliant personalities and don't truly understand why other parents spank. I am not talking about the kind of parents who spank their kids in anger, the kind you see cussing and yanking a 3-year-old around by the arm and screaming at the park or grocery store. That is another category of low class.[/quote]

I'm opposed to spanking and I don't fit into any of those categories.  I have two kids with sensory issues and ADHD, not at all "compliant" in their nature.

I was raised by strict parents who treated our family as a cooperative unit.  We had lots of chores, we were all good students, and we were disciplined without punishment of any kind.  I think they used timeouts and sent us to our rooms but for the most part we discussed things.  There are five of us, all doctors and therapists.

I am opposed to spanking because my parents didn't do it and it worked out well.[/quote]
