I have a 2yo and a 1yo (both boys). The only time the older one gets spanked is if he's hurting the younger one (who can't defend himself yet). Other than this, pretty much "in the corner" or we take something away.

Well, that's depressing...

I guess you could say it's depressing, but it's really just life. We love our kids more than anything until we don't anymore, and then you just kinda move on. You don't stop trying to be a good parent, but it's just not a life-controlling priority anymore.

Don't worry, you've still got nearly a half-decade left of really loving your kids. Enjoy.

"Spanking" a 2 yr. old may be a bit harsh by my experience.
