The rest of you sound like you may have been abused and not even realize it. I realize for those of you who are 30-40 years old this is dating back decades to the 80's (or 70's?), but if this happened in the modern year it would not be tolerated if it were reported.

Pffft.
I spank my kid but the times I've actually ever had to do that are less than double digits, and she's almost 10. I can't fathom going as far as a belt but I don't disagree with its use at the time.
I even caught the end of physical punishment in school. It must have been kindergarten or into 1st grade... if you misbehave, the teacher has you walk up to the front of the class and she smacks your hand/wrist pretty hard with a ruler.
I don't necessarily think that's something that ever should have been gravitated away from.
