  • My parents spanked my brother and I when we were maybe 3-5 years old. Not all the time, and only if we were acting out and doing seriously wrong things that we shouldn't do.

    I don't really see what the big issue is. It hurt at the time, but it didn't leave any marks, and I didn't suffer any psychological trauma. It wasn't abusive. I didn't grow up to hate my parents. I did learn to be well behaved.

    So I mean you can't argue with results.

    • Yeah im on ur side with this, spanking I agree with. Not as a go-to punishment, it more of the embarrassment of being spanked and the disappointment that ur parent have to resort to spanking u, that should shame them not to misbehaving again. I think that message isnt translated well when u have shitty parents. Lucky for me, mine were good. Later in life it wasnt spanking, but knowing I hurt or disappointed them that made me behave, not the threat of physical pain.
