If you're beating your child with spankings, that is WRONG...if it's just a "hey I'm talking to you and you need to listen" spank...I think sometimes they are needed.
My youngest is very difficult and always doing things despite me...I don't really spank her much, but yes, at times she needs it. I would NEVER do that to any of my daycare children, but my own will give me a MUCH more harder time because that's just how kids are with their moms.
She probably just had a bad morning...but it's always our job to keep a good eye on any bruises or neglect.
I completely agree and can totally relate...my youngest is the same way.
