re: Do/Did you spank your kids?

My experience is if you do it right, you’ll need to spank them once to prove you’ll do it. Then the threat of it will keep them straight the rest of the time. I have a teenager and a soon to be teenager. It’s worked so far. As an example, when my son was younger and he was back talking my wife, I sent him to his room, took off my belt and slammed it on the bed very loudly. Raised my voice and pretty much scared the hell out of him. Told him next time I’d slam the belt on his behind instead of the bed. But I never had to use it. Just a mention of the belt now straightens him out.

Kids? No.
Their mother? Yes.

I beat my kids with tree stumps. My kids are the best behaved you have ever seen.

Wooden spoon survivor here...
I've raised 2 boys and 2 girls.. I think boys honestly need it moreso than girls from my experience.. I never really need to spank my girls to cement the fear of God like I did my boys...

I did spank my children on occasion
We had several forms of punishment
My sons worst punishment was having to pick up sticks in the yard, we have acres of land with lots of pecan trees. It was a never ending task, still is.
They are both productive adults now

I beat the shite out of these kids. The other day i told the little one to put away their ipad. They didn't so i picked up the ipad and cracked it on their head and sent them to bed after a belt whipping.
I don't have kids. No.

I’ve trained multiple dogs, even some really dumb ones, without hitting them
No need to smack a kid around

Yes I did, but rarely. I had three girls and a boy. They all got the occasional slap on the hand. One of my girls got an arse whipping once, and my son got two. They are all very well adjusted adults in their 30’s, but two of my daughters think I was too harsh. They might be right.

Not spanking is why kids today are the way they are

I grew up in the 1970s, but was raised like 1930's era dust bowl. I think my parents were both raised in poverty and didn't know how to do anything different. Children seen and not heard. Children never to question. Basically we grew up mortified robots.
My parents spanked my brother and he is a neurotic mess as an adult who is still afraid of my dad. Turns out he was undiagnosed (at the time) ADHD with bipolar mixed in. So, losing your shite and hitting him was not helping behavior he didn't really understand himself.
I'm not a "gentle parenting" kind of parent myself but I think there is a better way of gaining respect than losing complete control of your own temper. The downside that I don't think my dad understands to this day, is how much of our adult lives he is missing out on because we are still so guarded around him. I don't want my kids to ever be afraid of me.

I did when they were between the ages of 3 to 5 and only when absolutely necessary- for direct impact. After 5 y/o they never did any major stuff requiring one. My boys are good. Always have been. Mischief makers? On occasion but not bad, harmful, or destructive. It was silly mischief.
Example: one time one of my twin boys, about 4 at the time, took off running for the road and ignored my demands to stop. He almost ran in front of a UPS truck. I tore his arse up. He never did again and always came when called.
It was the shock and surprise factor. So yes, but only for big stuff.

My son is two. He 100% inherited his dad's ability to drive someone to their absolute limit of patience and then repeatedly dip a toe over it to provoke.
He's learning what's okay and what isn't, the only time he gets a spanking is if he swats at my wife.
The other night I fell asleep after a very long day cutting wood and he hit me in the face with a metal truck. I palmed him right in the chest reflexively waking up. Expecting a screaming cry, he instead just laughed, said sorry, and ran off giggling.
...he is going to be a handful.

Not really. 17y boy and 11y girl. Boy has been an old, cautious soul and laid back his whole life so if I raise my voice he pays attention. Maybe popped him on his butt when he was throwing tantrums as a child. The girl is entirely different. She’s a good kid but sassy only with my wife. I’ve never had to spank her but my wife slaps her across the face every now and then to set her straight and stop her from running her mouth.

I got spanked though not very much. And now as a dad, I do not spank. I don't know why... I just don't.
My kids are pretty great though.

"Spare the rod, spoil the child"
This is thrown around a lot, but not a definitive affirmation that religious texts support corporal punishment. A rod in Hebrew most often was used to mean a Sheppard’s staff. It was used to guide sheep and bring them back in line when they went astray. This phrase never appears in the Christian Bible. It’s a 17th century quote, which incorrectly extrapolated Biblical text.
The actual Biblical text “[t]hose who spare the rod hate their children, but those who love them are diligent to discipline them” suggest that if you do not guide children you hate them and if you love them then you should discipline them quickly so they learn soon.
I was spanked as a child. I am not against others spanking their children, as long as it is discipline and not abuse. Never saying “no” to a child and yelling at children probably have more long term negative psychological impacts than spanking.

2 boys and I did it the same way my parents did in the 70s and 80s. They are well mannered young men that say sir and ma'am.

A few times. The last time was when they were about 8-10 and they finally understood. Plus I didn’t understand spanking a 12 year old - I’d just take tech stuff away or reduce outdoor play.
