Spanking done with vengeance or spite is not discipline. Spanking done out of love, while perhaps more painful to the parent, is not abuse.
"...He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand..."
(from Leader of the Band by Dan Fogelberg.)
My mother and father were tough on me whn I deserved it. I am a Dan Fogelberg fan having seen him a couple of times when he performed.,. his words ring true for me when "I am in Colorado." I wish today that I could say to me father the following, but he hears my thoughts when I speak to him in my own way as captured in the lyric of the same song:
"I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough."
