How is/will Discipline Be Done For Your Family?

On a serious note , my SO and I both grew up in Pro-Whoopings Families  , lol . I was only whooped with a hand or a belt . Once I was whooped by a board , but honestly , I deserved that . But , my SO on the other hand , received whooping from what ever his mom could find . That was anywhere from a shoe , to a belt , to an extension cord . 

And to say he got the worse out of the whoopings than me , he still wants to whoop our children . I , personally , don't want to result to whooping . I want to be able to redirect or endorse in other ways . 

A big punishment that helped me was taking everything I had . I was the only child and I was a bit more privelleged than my SO . Therefore , my parents took things like my tv , my phone , my shoes (I was a sneaker-head growing up) , or I wouldn't be able to play in the game that week , but I would still have to go and watch . That was the worst punishment yet!!! His parents didn't even try the take away method , lol . But , what do you guys think? How will you to how do you disciple your children ? Does it work ? Or did it work for someone you knew ? I'm curious , just because this is a weekly if not daily topic for my SO's and I pillow talk . I want to be able to present him with other ideas just to see if he would try any before going to the whooping method .
