That probably helped firm up >>my own belief in spanking. At some point not too long >>after, my future husband and I were seriously >>discussing beliefs in parenting. When we learned that >>we both believed in spanking, let's just say neither >>of us planned on giving severe spankings, but neither >>did we plan on the "two or three swats" approach.
