A lot of times, this is not what actually happens when parents "spank" their kids That's the *word* they use to make it sound okay, so other people will imagine that other thing They hide behind this abstract defense of "corporal punishment" as a concept

What they actually do is get so fucking frustrated that they snap and go "You little ungrateful piece of SHIT" and smack you hard across the face They go "God damn it not NOW" and shove you hard away from them

You could also not threaten children with bodily harm. Why would you want to start shaping a traumatic parent/child bond that they'll have to unpack later in adulthood?
