I guess i don't agree with your opinions as my mother was very harsh and used to spank me with the kettle cord a lot.

My father never hit me once but i was 10 times more scared of him than mum.

I wouldn't say i'm dead against spanking. The fact that i have never had children does not afford me the right to be overly against the practice.

Miked: do you think that your 30 month old child reacted more to the spanking or the raising of your voice? Do you think the grounding of the 3 & 4 year olds had more effect on them than the spanking?

It's been widely acknowledged that humans do not take physical punishment into consideration when weighing up the decision to commit a crime (or in this case, disobey a parental command), and i am interested to know (as i really have no idea) if your spanking of them got your children to realise how their actions made you feel, or the resultant yelling/grounding...

For the record, when i reread the article i realised i would not want spanking to become totally illegal. The people that should be stopped would not care if it is illegal or not, and the responsible parents that use it as a means of effective minor punishment would become the victims...
