[i] spanking hurts the child and does teach them you are mad at them, but it doesn't fix anything. It's like taking aspirin to cover the pain from a broken leg. Sure you don't feel anything but you still have a dangling leg that is only getting worse. [/B]
Ohh, it sure "fixed" things for me. If I was about to do something, I knew my dad would find out and make me walk to the closet, pick out a belt, and he would spank me with it. I often changed my mind on doing something "rebelious" just because I KNEW what was to come afterwards, and I sure wasn't going to go through that.
