i was spanked as a child, as was my older sister, as were my parents, and their parents. we all turned out well. my youngest sister as well as my father's youngest sister were the least punished, and subsequently the ones that cannot take care of themselves, and have gotten into the most trouble in life.
my 2 year old is learning that if she does something wrong, she gets one warning, and then a spanking. she is also learning that she does not like them. in the last few days, she has come and apologised a couple times for doing something wrong before i even caught her.

This parallels my experience as well.

The things kids are allowed to get away with these days...you can't even blame the kids, it's their pathetic parents that refuse to take responsibility - they want to be their child's friend instead of parent.
