"We got spanked often, sometimes with the wooden spoon (one even broke!) and we turned out completely fine. My father would always threaten the belt, taking it off and making the horrifying snapping noise with it, but never used it. The threat was enough to make us immediately sorry for whatever we did. Throwing us in our room would never work because we would just play and forget we were in trouble. The threat of bodily harm always worked. But we never had lasting marks or couldn't sit down an hour later. There is definitely a point where it goes too far." - Crystal
