[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do spank.  Never out of anger, however.  I think that's the key- like PP said, there are a few things that are an automatic spanking in our house.  Like any consequence, the kids KNOW why they are being spanked, and we discuss the issue before and after the correction.  Hugs, kisses, and reflection on how we can do better next time.  And then it's done, and we move on.  No different than other consequences.

I am not a fan of the impromptu whack on the butt stuff. [/quote]

+1. Impromptu is not at all okay, but at least it's somewhat logical that a parent might lose control. What isn't logical is that an adult might "calmly" call a child over and start hitting them.[/quote]

How is that illogical?  [/quote]

Not PP, but one who has regretfully spanked in anger.   I agree with that PP.   To me, spanking humiliates.    But if someone spanked (i.e. humiliated) on purpose, with planning, I think that's doubly worse.

And this probably varies by child.  I was spanked a lot.   Yes, I ended up doing what my parents told me to do to avoid another spanking.  But I did not respect them, in the sense of the word that I thought they were people I could admire and look up to, and want to emulate.   When someone humiliates me on purpose, I don't think very highly of them at all, and never have. [/quote]
