Not sure if this belongs here or in "Chit Chat". This is just a general thread about spanking children. Did your parents ever do it to you? Have you ever done it to your children in a moment of anger?
I was spanked quite a bit as a young child (it stopped when I hit 9 or 10). Usually it was open-handed, but one time my mom used the wooden spoon and broke it on my butt . She never did that again LOL. The worst times were when I would do something wrong while my step-dad was sitting or lying on the couch. Rather than come over to me to discipline me, he would stay there and call me over because he was too lazy to get up. I was always too afraid to disobey, but terrified to go near him too. For the record, he and I are very close now, and I don't think I have any emotional scars from being spanked. I just remember it with a twinge of resentment...
