[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. This is not something I would ever consider and if my DH did it it would be an immediate divorce.

I was hit as a child. Not often, I can only remember 3 times, but enough that I always felt so much anxiety around my father. I do not want my daughter to experience that.

I also just can't really even understand where spanking comes from. It feels so fundamentally nuts to me. "You did something I didn't like so now I'm going to bring you, a child 1/3 my size, physical harm." WTF? [/quote]

Maybe it’s… you didn’t listen to me when I said not to run in the parking lot and now I will give you a hand seat so you listen next time and don’t KILL yourself. I just find it so hard to believe any of these vehement anti-spammers are truly empathetic because they are utterly unable to think through their other parents’ thought processes. When my parents spanked me, they didn’t cause “physical harm”… a little pain, but always to reinforce an important lesson.

In any case, divorce would be so much worse for your kid than a spanking. [/quote]
Why couldn't you hug them instead and tell them how it scared you? wouldn't that also work? If it needs to be physical why does it have to be hitting to enforce an important lesson? [/quote]
