One thing that is interesting in this thread is the number of posts where it is assumed the spanking was done because the PARENT lost their temper, lost their patience or other wise beat their child while angry.
None of those applied when I spanked my kids. I did it only because it was my duty under the circumstances and as a father as I see them. I certainly didn’t enjoy it and always shook my head to myself because the little dickens insisted in getting the spanking in the first place by his/her actions.
Exactly. I can honestly say that neither of my parents EVER spanked Sis or me in anger.
Of course, when we were moody, impossible TEENAGERS, I’m sure they had their moments, LOL!
I’m gonna go call my Dad... :)
