De-lurking on this one.
I was spanked and spanked mightily. Hand, brush, cord, switch, etc., it didn't matter. Whatever was handy was applied.
I learned one thing from it: DON'T GET CAUGHT!
So, unless I want my kids to learn how to be sneaky little bastards like I was, I'm not hitting anyone.
Also, I enjoy the challenge of finding the proper psychological trigger to TEACH the kids instead of waiting for them to make a mistake so I can beat them, which looks just as ridiculous on-screen as it did in my wee brain when I was thinking it.
As an aside, I am quite violent when stirred and I think it goes back to the childhood beatings. I have been in one fight in my life simply because I don't want to be this way. I can't say that walls and furniture have been intact after a good tantrum, but at least the only person I hurt is me.
