I know time out is thw wave of the future. But I believe in spanking. Not alot, just enough to get the point across. However my Hubby believes I should just yell. I get tired of yelling. What do you think?

Well, when I was being raised, my mom spanked us. It got the point across, and most of the time we didn't do it again. When my mom yelled, it didn't help. To me, time out doesn't work. My best friend does it, and as soon as her kids are done with the time out, they go right back to doing what they were doing that caused the timeout. She'll keep on doing the timeout for the same crime, but it doesn't work. So she ends up spanking them anyway which works. I have an 11 month old girl, and when she gets older, she'll get spanked when she is bad.
