But how many parents will use spanking for the right reasons?  Most of the time the kids are acting out because they are neglected, bored,  not heard, not getting attention.  Parents should not be spanking because they have not met the needs of the kid (kid is tired, sleepy, hungry) or because the parents themselves are stressed or angry.

[b] My children have been spanked after being told very clearly, more than once, to not do something  because of xyz or else they will be spanked.  [/b][b] They pushed the boundaries and then they were spanked. [/b]I have spanked my kids probably from the age of 7 to 12 a total of six times.  It was very clear why they were being spanked. And I have not had to discipline me kids at all since then. They are in their 20s.

4 is too small to be spanked IMHO.  The behavior is very attention seeking and generally the kid sounds unhappy. OP does not seem to know why her kid is behaving in this fashion?   I think the kid wants the parents around him and probably the parents are too busy with their work. I am guessing that the kid is unhappy with being left at daycare or with a nanny.  Yes, parenting is hard. [/quote]

Interesting. And does your husband give you a warning before he smacks you? Or did he already hit you enough times that you learned not to push boundaries with him, like your kids learned with you?
