Elizabeth, spankings is not bad. It is legal whether you want it to be or not and more children can benefit from it. I bet if I went over to your house, your children would be running the household and walking all over you and your husband, if you have a family. That usually what take place in households that think spankings are abusive. Proper correction is mineral to the bone. Get that straight! Read the bible but than again, you’ll probably tell me your an atheist and that fits your train of thought.
