How you raised your children is how I was raised, and I think I've grown into a fairly decent adult.You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Wilomn again.
I was never spanked beyond the age of 6, because I knew better, and I quickly learned right/wrong. But they did not only tell me what I was doing wrong, they rewarded me for being good.
Looking back I know my dad wasn't being abusive, I love the man and respect him for molding me into who I am.
Nothing wrong with a little discipline. There is a difference between beating your kids and a swat on the bottom for punishment.
