Both of my parents were abused as kids. And they spanked us when we were little. But there came a point when I was 6 and was caught stealing gum out of my mom's purse. My dad gave me a choice. Get spanked or be grounded for 2 weeks. I chose the spanking but he said he would never spank me again and grounded me for 2 weeks.
I was beaten like a rented mule as a child and my mother would always tell me that "one day you will realize we do this because we love you". I am almost 70, that day has not yet arrived. I quit being hopeful about its arrival sometime in the 60s.

Just had a Dazed and Confused flashback.
My buddy used to have to go cut a switch from a tree in their yard.
If he came back with a branch that was too small, his dad would go get one of his own that was much larger.
He didn't remember those times fondly.
