      I was on the tail end of kids still getting spanked or worse (last of the gen Xers).

      My cousins still had a paddle with holes in it that made a terrible whistling sound before it got you. Their dad was a southerner though was always the excuse.

        Nowadays kids parent the previous generation so I’m not entirely certain that things are “better”. Probably yes in some ways, worse in others:-|.
