My wife Susan and I are in agreement with disciplining our boys 10 & 12. Susan was very much influenced by my mom who used bare bottom hairbrush spankings on me and Susan spanks the boys the same way, even for minor infractions.

My late wife and I were both spanked growing up (usually bare bottom) and we pretty much agreed when it came to discipline with our children. We both spanked bare usually over the knee by hand. There were a couple of times where she used a flyswatter or yardstick. I usually just used my hand but occasionally used a belt or paddle. We both agreed on basing the number of swats we gave on age (1 swat per year). Sometimes there might be extra swats if merited.

Where we disagreed was my wife was quicker to spank rather than using other punishments. She always used spanking and I would take the approach of reserving spankings for certain behaviors or if other methods failed to produce results. Also, after the spanking, she believed in sending the kids to their rooms for additional punishment. No discussion, hugs, etc... I on the other hand, usually would talk it over both before and after and always hugged them and made sure I told them I loved them. My wife usually accused me of "babying" them when I did that. My usual reply was to say. "They've been punished already, they don't need to think I hate them or am mad at them on top of it." Other than those points of contention, she and I pretty much were on the same page when it came to discipline.
