Do you / Will you Spank your Kids?

I got spanked as a kid and I turned out ok.

Most of the people I know who got into trouble with the law or at school or in relationships were people who (a) had absent fathers, or (b) had parents who let them do whatever they wanted.

I'll definitely spank. But I think when a kid gets to a certain age it stops being effective and the better thing is taking away stuff they like rather than physical correction.

Ditto. Except I think my parents utilized the guilt trip more than the taking things away part as I got older and it seemed to work. I was never really a troublemaker.
