.....Yes, My husband spanked/paddled way too often because that is how he grew up...being spanked really hard for every little thing.

Re: TAPS

Thank you. My mother had suffered a bad farm injury when she was 12/13 that also included a head injury. While I understand that NOW, it made for a terrible childhood. 

Studies show that children who were physically abused tended to become abusers themselves. I promised my wife on our honeymoon that I would never touch our children in such a manner... and I never did. I wanted the cycle of child abuse to stop with me.

.....Oh My!  I'm so sorry.  In 1966 I had four little sons all preschool and it was lots of work, but we had so much fun together.  Daddy spanked them too often, as far as I was concerned, for being rowdy and feisty, but only on the butt.  I love remembering the good old days.  Two of my sons are gone now and I really miss them but the other two are very attentive and I love it.
