At least, I've been taught my entire life that hitting others is wrong, so why should there be an exception only for parents to hit tiny little children?

Does that make any sense? I'm not sure if it does or not It did in my head before I typed it out!
Yes, that does make sense, at least to me. I think this is why I am more upset (MUCH more upset) at the thought of cold-bloodedly planning out a spanking session, than at a mom (or a dad) losing her/his temper & hitting. Because I know that temptaion to violence is in me, too.
But I do see it as a temptation, even (especially?) when I see it on paper as part of a "plan" for childrearing. It would never occur to me as leading to a positive result.
