My eldest is 13 and I think I’ve spanked her twice in the last year honestly she is growing out of needing it I think. She has always been very well behaved if sometimes forgetful I have not had deliberate disobedience from her in a long time.


My next is 11 and she is in a boundary testing phase not with me at home but with the school so I have had to spank her once a month this entire school year. The transition to starting middle school has been very hard for her and I am of course sympathetic but her behavior strays into bullying other girls and I just will not tolerate that.


My 10 year old I probably also spank one a month or maybe a little less it depends. He’s the oldest boy and he can get very wild and I try to direct that energy as best I can but there is a point at which he is negatively influencing his younger brothers or putting them in danger and then I have to spank.


My 7 year old is almost 8 and I think he probably gets spanked every other month and it is nearly always for going along with something ridiculous his older brother put him up to. I wonder if he would be in trouble this often if left to his own devices or if he would come up with these shenanigans by himself anyways. Last week they went down the stairs in a laundry basket on a blanket and put a hole in the drywall and we are lucky nobody went to the hospital.


The 4 year old can also be a bit of a menace but I do not give him “full” spankings he is quite small for his age and if it comes up I will just give him some smacks with my hand. He follows after his brothers and that is how he usually gets into trouble. Maybe also once a month.


The baby is not quite 2 yet and I have never spanked him.


I also have two stepchildren off at college who are no longer spanked and when they did live with us I never spanked them that was not part of my role with them.


I think I am a little different form other moms here because I do not spank only. We have plenty of other things and I only use spanking for if something is extreme (hitting a classmate in the head with a pencil case and getting suspended!) or if we have done the other consequences and it has not worked (no you really really are NOT allowed to jump between the kitchen counter and the kitchen island like a little monkey). Not to say this is the only way it is just my way for my family.
