I was spanked a handful of times; and I know my parents would never spank E. In their eyes she's the golden child and everything she does is perfect!!!
Plus, my parents are extremely into setting boundaries / respecting that WE are E's parents and that WE make the decisions regarding her care. They would never spank without explicit permission from me to do so.
-
We were spanked, but I don't know that this is something my parents or in-laws would do with LOs. They've mellowed a lot since then. We've never talked about it, but I'm not afraid of it happening. In their eyes, she can do no wrong!

I know my dad spanked my brother and I as kids, but I just can't even fathom him hitting my son. He's changed a lot since then and being a grandparent is way different than being a parent. He's also very patient with my son. I'd really be horrified though if someone else saw fit to hit my son without my permission (which they'd never get, ha!).
-
No way. They can get away with murder at my parents house.
-
Nope, my parents adore DD. She gets her way all the time.
-
I was spanked as a child but I doubt my parents would ever spank any of their grandkids. If they ever did I would know it was for a very good/major reason and I would trust them. I would still want to be told what happened though and would be mad if they didn't tell me about it, not that it happened in the first place.

I'm not sure if DH was spanked but we found out that LO was spanked by MIL….and he started hitting us…softly of course
Because of this, I've been somewhat against spanking.

I was spanked but my mom would never spank her grandkids. She leaves the discipline up to us. we've never had a conversation about it but I don't think she has ever said a stern word to any of her grandkids, ever. But her grandkids are generally well behaved so...
-
I was spanked, DH was not. My in-laws would NEVER spank LO. She can do no wrong in their eyes. I don't think my parents would spank LO, but I could potentially see it. I have made it abundantly clear to leave the discipline to us, and if I ever found out they spanked her, they would not be permitted to be alone with her. I would be livid.

We were both spanked. The only person that my child will not be left alone with is my Dad, he "disciplined" in much worse ways than spanking and I will never trust him. I've seen the way he is with my nephews and it scares me. I won't even leave our baby over there if my Mom is caregiving, she will have to come to our house. Frankly, I don't think he is that excited about it or interested in a caregiving role, so I'll only need to chat with my Mom about it. I trust my MIL and her judgement completely, but I doubht she would spank. FIL is out of the picture. Bleh, I'm glad I've been going to counseling weekly. She's helping me figure out boundaries.

@Freckles: We live far away, but the simple answer is no. I was spanked as a child, and I think my parent know that I absolutely disagree with spanking. It's a line I know they wouldn't cross.
-
I wasn't spanked and my mom wouldn't spank LO.
DH was spanked, but mil doesn't watch LO ever, so she wouldn't have a chance. I don't think she would though.
-
It's never crossed my mind. I can't see them doing it, since LO is not their child.
-
Yes. I've made it very clear with my mom that we don't spank and that it's illegal here where we live. If she ever goes behind my back and spanks my kid, I really don't know what I'd do, but the urge to call the police would be one I'd be fighting off.
-
I was spanked, DH was not.
We've made it clear that as the parents we are the only people to hold that kind of authority over our children.
LO is too young to spank, but we fully intend on using spanking as a disciplinary tool.
-
I really don't think either set of parents would. The grand kids can do no wrong in their eyes.
Because of this, I've been somewhat against spanking.
