Spanking hasn't been the norm for several decades now.

It sounds like you are one of the few to be honest.
I grew up in the mid 90's and I got my ass beat if I pulled anything remotely close to what these kids did and I know alot of my friends and family were the same. Obviously, I cant say for sure if it changed me, but looking at the 'politeness punishment' group of kids these days being raised, including a pair of step sisters of mine, I can say that I am certainly leaning towards disciplining my kids the way I was, rather then trying to barter a healthy punishment like kids are seeing nowadays.
