NP here. I was spanked just once as a child.

When my DS was born I had PPD and I wanted to hit my 2.5 yr DD when she was acting out or waking her brother. I felt AWFUL about even having those feelings.  I did squeeze her arm really hard once and it did nothing at all to stop her wailing (I was worried she would wake him up) and I knew that physical punishment is not worth it.

OP--are you going through a hard time with your life?  When you have the urge to hit your child, what else is happening? Are you scared of something else happening at the same time? [/quote]

This was me.  I actually was spanked as a kid.  Not a ton because I was a really easy, compliant kid, but my siblings were both spanked a lot.  For the first three months or so of my second child's life, there were numerous times I felt like I wanted to smack my two year old.  Sickens me to think about it now.  He was practically still a baby himself.  I never hit him but I smacked the couch or my leg a number of times.  I was just about to seek therapy when I noticed it subsiding a lot and then disappearing entirely.  [/quote]
