I was spanked once as a small child (according to my mom--I don't even remember it so it could not have been too traumatic) for darting into the street. I don't "spank" my dogs, but I will give a horse that tries to bite me a pinch on the muzzle.
I honestly never realized until recently that people still washed their kids' mouths out with soap--I never had it done. DH says that he had his mouth washed out with soap as a kid for saying the word "butt." It didn't seem to achieve the desired effect though--he still says it--lol.
I don't believe in getting in other peoples' business when it comes to parenting for the most part. I don't think I'd wash my kid's mouth out though.....
A bit off topic, but what is "attachment parenting" exactly?
