48 yes. It was my mother. She would spank and use a wood spoon or belt. She could only do it till I became bigger and stronger vs her.

Same. I also got warnings and spanking was threatened. If I openly defied the warnings, I got a quick spank a few times. My parent is a child psychologist and was very judicious and calm, but is not a "no spanking, EVER" person.

54M, British, frequently spanked with flat of hand, wooden spoon, hairbrush, ruler, belt, etc. In the late 60s/early 70s it was pretty common. In retrospect I regard it as terrible parenting and totally unnecessary.

Incidentally, back then corporal punishment was still used in schools. Teachers would hit your open palm with a ruler or slap your ass with their hand, a ruler, or a cane.

Prime example of why you shouldn't spank your kids. Some grow up to like it.

Age 67, was spanked. Stopped around 10. I think my generation produced kinder and more polite children.

44, no. I was at my bffs house once when her little brother got spanked and it struck me as absolutely bizarre and cruel for a grown woman to just a ore-schooler.

35. Nope. I had six siblings, too, and my parents never laid a hand on any of us - as it should be.
