[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I don't spank/don't intend to.  DH won't spank because he's a gentle guy and can't even imagine ever being able to bring himself to hit DD for any reason.  I won't spank because my mother used to hit out of anger a LOT (which was exacerbated by her drinking problems) and I just don't trust myself not to do the same (even though I don't drink).  It's easier for me to just have that bright red "Do Not Cross" line of no hitting whatsoever.  I hid some things in my childhood from my mother out of fear of her reaction that I really needed her help with and I never want DD to feel afraid of me like that.

That's my own baggage though and I don't extrapolate that out to the parenting decisions of others.  [/quote]

That's fair. (OP here.) But realize that [b]DH is the gentlest guy I've ever met[/b].[/quote]

A person who hits his child is not gentle.

I'm the original PP of this thread and just want to make it clear this latest response isn't mine.  I'm not passing judgement on whether or not OPs spouse is or is not a gentle person.[/quote]
