I got spanked and even hit a time or two as a kid.

I turned out okay considering.

Careful. This may be a story very common among boomers, gen-x and even older millennials, but it's gonna get you reams of downvotes here from people whose terrible experience - to them - is universal.

(FWIW: army family. Lots of "explain yourself" and only rarely was the atom bomb used)
