If you grew up in the seventies did you get spanked or not?

Is there anyone out there who grew up in the seventies that didn't get spanked?

I grew up in the sixties and seventies, and never EVER got spanked. I think my mother slapped my arm once. It was more annoying than anything else.

I didnt but I think my parents did and my dad got hit all the time and my moms parents were never home

Actually they did researched and showed allot of people in either the government or like local government people have all bin spanked

Dear matchbox20,
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and no, I was never spanked. My son who was born in the late 70s was never spanked either. We have a misconception that all families spank and this is not true. Spanking is done primarily out of frustration and the lack of coping skills. Thank goodness in some places it's illegal.
Sue...good luck

Thanks for the answers. I always felt different because I wasn't spanked. I've never met anyone else my age who wasn't. My four kids have never been spanked either. They are great kids!

I grew up in the 60's and 70's o the best of my knowledge my parents never spanked me.

I was spanked at school. I noticed that only the poor teachers spanked kids though. The good teachers had other ways to maintain order than threatening and hurting kids.

My mom was born in '70, and oh yeah, she was beat. If her, my Uncle, or Aunt, did anything wrong they got the belt. Or the old 'take a branch off the tree and bring it to mommy and daddy so they can whack you with it.'
