I have a wonderful 24 yr old dtr. I hate spanking and never did it much. Hubby would spank her if he felt she needed it. But the main thing about it was he never did it in anger. I made sure he was calm before he spanked her. I was the grounder but very lax in it. Now she treats me more like a friend than her mom. I feel she does not respect me. Her dad and her are very close and have a great relationship.
Her biggest hate was when we would talk to her about what she did that was wrong. When she was little dh wore overalls a lot. When she misbehaved while out with him, she would have to walk beside him holding on to the hammer loop. She hated that.
I can remember my mammaw swatting my behind with her house shoe once when I misbehaved. Many times she threatened to make me go out and get a switch so she could spank me. I turned out all right I think. Never thought less of her.
