No kids for me, but I was one once. My parents spanked me on the odd occasion when I being a special kind of brat. I feel like in order for something like the "1,2,3" countdown or even a time-out to work there has to be a "threat" of something greater. And when a kid tests your boundries (and I believe that most kids instinctively do) you have to be able to deliver. What happens after he finishes counting to 3? 4? Sit in my room (who cares)? Make me go outside (ooohh darn)? Oh, my beast of a man father is going to hit me if I dont stop acting like a little idiot? Yeah, dont want that.
