I’m 21 weeks pregnant with our first baby so new mom all the way.

So I am genuinely curious on the spanking vs not spanking aspect of parenting. My husband was “whooped” as it’s called sometimes but I was not, at all. My single parent mom used disappointment as a punishment (which could be good or bad) but that worked for me as an only child.

I’m not sure what kind of parent I’m going to be or punishment aspects I side with so I’d just love to hear some opinions and maybe what others do with their kids?

No hate or judgement, just kinda my own research haha

UPDATE: I wanna thank everyone who commented and was open/honest! I love hearing different opinions and what works for them vs what doesn’t. No one has gotten hate or judgement from me, thank y’all.

To the comment that said this app isn’t for this, go somewhere else tbh, this was asking for opinions amongst other moms. I believe anyone can read any amount of books based on research and still, speaking with others on their experiences helps so much.
