Thanks, Heather, for this especially:

My goal is not obedience now and goes beyond getting along. It is raising mature ADULTS. Shortcuts lead to lesser end results and punishment/spanking is a shortcut. I want kids/adults who are not afraid own up to their mistakes, do right because they want to do the right thing, and are not carrying baggage and incorrect instincts.

So true.
Carrie, thanks for sharing your perspective as someone who was raised being spanked, has a good relationship w/ her parents, yet has still chosen not to spank
I really appreciate it.
