I'm another mom who would never give my kids a choice on punishments, but if I did, I think they would reluctantly choose the spanking over grounding. Devin (11) and Caroline (8) both have a strong aversion to missing out on things, and I can't say that I blame them. My parents used spanking and grounding with me at various times and I have to say that I resented the groundings more. As others here have said, grounding makes for an unpleasant time for the whole family.

Last year, one of Caroline's good friends was grounded and that interfered with a fun outing we had planned. My daughter was indignant that the friend's mother didn't just spank her and get it over with! She wanted me to suggest exactly that, but I told her that moms have their own way of dealing with bad behavior
