Reply #54: glad to see a voice of reason

[goddess40]

kids that were spanked and grow up ok do in spite of the spanking not because of it.

My crazy fundie sister used to use that dumb-ass reason for using a wooden spoon to hit her daughter - when I caught her at it I took the spoon and warned her if I ever caught her doing it again I'd shove the spoon up her ass. She and her husband have been very careful about it since.

My in-laws were also warned, after saying how they had spanked some of their other grandchildren, that they would see the inside of a police station if they hit my kids.
