As I said, if it is something that works in someone else's home, that is their business. I was spanked as a child, and while I love my parents I also grew up with what some would call "a healthy fear" of <B>getting caught</B> at doing something wrong...not necessarily a fear of doing something wrong. That make sense? I don't think my parents abused me and I don't have issues of fear or mistrust of them or any other authority figures, but I don't see that as being the route for me when I do have children.Nancy E.

I've done it once because she rang out into the street. We do not, however, spank on a regular basis as I, too, agree that hitting only teaches hitting. Although, it is really hard sometimes - 3.5 is driving me nuts.eBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06026882467451773461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14690833.post-1153234071339453522006-07-18T10:47:00.000-04:002006-07-18T10:47:00.000-04:00Exactly.

When asked why she hit the sibling, her answer was that the sibling had misbehaved.Nancy E. Dunnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05094698655938081933noreply@blogger.com
