No I don’t.  I gave my son a spanking once (I think he was 5 or 6) in the midst of a temper tantrum and I cried afterwards.  What does it accomplish?  Nothing, IMO.  
 

Interesting story.  I began my career in education in NC.  Down there, some parents would ask me to spank their kids if they misbehaved.  Of course I couldn’t and wouldn’t do that, but it was eye opening to hear coming from a parent.

i agree.  if you can't get your point across without hitting your kids, there's a problem.  i fantasize about it, but don't do it.   i tell our babysitters they are allowed to hit my kids, but we all laugh and move on.  no one has been hit yet.

This would be far more interesting if you had spanked the babysitter, but that is for another forum.

No, never have and never will, my older one is a teenager now so would probably slap me back 😂

 

I’ve spanked the monkey plenty of times though 😁

Waterboarding is more effective.

Is this thread still about child discipline?
