Yeah, my seven year old daughter has been spanked 4 times by me and twice by her mother(who had said she would never spank). It's been extreme behavior on the kid's part that warranted such action. She spit in my wife's face once(she was 5) and got the immediate knee-jerk spank from Mom. From me, it's when she refuses to obey and pretends she doesn't have to listen.
Thankfully, it's been about a year since she has deserved any corporal punishment. It did make me feel rather shitty immediately following the whacking. On later reflection, it got the point across. I have never spanked to hurt, simply to shock.
My 17 mo old boy has yet to really get into anything that even makes me consider spanking.
