[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I refuse to spank our DD. My father spanked me from before the time I even understood what was happening. I used to hide under the bed whenever he came home from work because I associated him with hitting me.

I think parents who spank their children are too lazy to really discipline their kids. It's a heck of a lot easier to just smack your child to get them to shut up or do something you want rather than to figure out what's causing a particular behavior.[/quote]

If you actually read the thread - most parents that spank noted they do that in rare instances and use a lot of other techniques. For some particularly impulsive behaviors, they may know what is causing it, but not have another more effective way to stop it in the moment - for example, like running in the street, grabbing a knife, waving a shovel, etc., etc. If they can, they use another tactic.

So you can spank your kid "in the moment" but you can't use that moment to grab them out of the street? Ditto to the other examples listed?[/quote]
