I will definitely hit my kids.

I think it is important to do this.

My mom used a belt until when I was 10 until I turned 11 or so. It took me a while but I learned.

Re: Child Raising - Discipline issues
 

I got spanked with a ping pong paddle when I got out of line until I was about ten or so. My parents always kept it on top of the refrigerator.

When I think back on it now I laugh because I can remember crying/pleading/arguing with them when I did something bad and then they'd get a look of total frustration/exhaustion on their face and start marching into the kitchen. It was at this point that I'd really start wailing and run an hide as quickly as possible.

My mom started guilt tripping me after I just laughed at her one day when she gave me the paddle.

In regards to my future children it would probably depend on their mother's opinion, but I would have no problem with giving them corporal punishment.
