Spankings or No Spankings?

‼️ I want to start off by saying this post is not to shame anyone who is or isn’t against spanking!! I am all for “moms support moms”!!

My story: I was spanked as a child, and feel as it did not help me in any way learn what I should and shouldn’t be doing. As a teenager in high school I was well behaved for the most part, BUT definitely had my rebellious stage the last two years of high school (15-17) I lied to my parents a lot and was never home because of the strictness in my home therefor causing me to not have a good relationship with my mother.

Long story short after I got pregnant and moved out of my families house, my parents and I got significantly closer as I was now adulting and becoming a parent myself. My son is now 13 months old and my husband and I have both agreed we will not be spanking our son as we were both disciplined that way and it did not help either of us in our older years.

Anyways, I am here to ask all the nonspanking mom’s what other ways of discipline do you use? (Time out, etc.) and to ask moms who DO spank if there are other forms of spanking I may not be aware of. (I am a sensitive person and could not imagine spanking, it makes me feel like I would be hurting him) Thank you all in advance!!
