I just don't think spanking is inherently out of anger. Maybe that's what happens with a lot of parents, but that's a separate issue in my opinion.

I haven't weighed in but this caught my attention.
I can see in the moment swatting a butt quickly when you lose your temper. I can understand; I have older kids so I've many years and all sorts of experiences that could lead to an in the moment swat when you are at your whits end.

But I find it really freaky to take the time to calm down after something like that and thinking it thru and then deciding to go spank my baby or child for something they've done.

One more breath of life into this UO!

I saw both types of spanking in my houses (divorced fam) growing up. The heat of the moment kind and the "wait till your dad gets home" kind. I think they're both shitty. It's only communicating that you pushed mom/dad to their limit and when we hit our limit we do something physical. I agree that it's all fear based. I heard that "this hurts me more than you" line more than once. I think it's only to assuage their guilt. There has to be better consequences.

I will not spank my kids. You wouldn't hit your husband or SO for doing something wrong so why in the world would you hit your innocent child?

I often want to hit DH.

I checked in because this UO fizzled out pretty quickly on thursday (shocking considering @SPurp13 went on a tirade unleashing 3 months of compounding UOs ) so I was shocked to see so many new posts.

But @mrssinner402, your opinion is not unpopular.  at least not in my eyes.

I feel like I got away with something and the more this thread goes on, the more likely it is that I will get my ass chewed on...

I feel like we're playing "don't let the balloon touch the ground" with this thread. That's a real game. Except that everyone is over it and I'm the annoying kid who diving across the room to bat the balloon into the air one more time.
