Yep. I can remember being whacked a handful of times. Every time I deserved it, and every time it made a big impression, literally and figuratively.

I can't believe we've gotten to the point where a man can get hauled off to jail for leaving a few red marks on his kid's butt.

Repeated serious abuse is one thing. A whack on the butt every now and then is another.



Exactamundo. Done early it leaves the impression that the threat is real, and hence has to be put into effect very seldom indeed.

My folks whacked my ass when I deserved jot, and I turned out OK.


But I am antisocial...or so Ive been told. grin
