No. I don't think so.

If my husband spanked, we'd wind up divorced because I could *not* respect a grown man who hurts little children.

There was an incident awhile back, shortly after DH's return from overseas, when he was standing over DS, ordering him to clean up and scaring the wits out of the two year old. I flipped. He retreated and apologized to us both the next day. I'm still a bit growly when i remember it.
