I was never spanked. Being the youngest of 3 and a Daddy's girl, I never got in trouble. My parents were good and broken in by the time I came along.
I only swatted my kids on the butt a few times when they were little. Mostly if they were trying to get into something they shouldn't. But spanking wasn't the way we did things as a rule. Now as teenagers I might tap them on the mouth when they are fresh but it's mostly joking around. When they really get disrespectful, I take their things away - no phone, laptop, xbox, no going to the mall or roller skating.
I heard this saying once a long time ago - hitting a kid out of anger only makes an angry kid.
