My Mum never needed a spoon I would always hope I would get hit by my Dad mum hit much harder
 
After the whopping's we may have gotten as kids, I for one can honestly say I probably needed it on occasion and in the end no real harm was done. It was all a part of discipline but too many do-gooders would say, "Oh no. You can't lift a hand against a child".
From what I have seen over the years, a lot of the do-gooders have had more troublesome children than those that gave a spanking now and again. Discipline in moderation is the key.
I never had to raise a hand on my kids. I had them bluffed. After all, as an adult, you have a lot more knowledge and wisdom than any child.
I'll never forget my old man and the razor strop, by Christ it bloody hurt.
