If your parents did NOT use corporal punishment on you as a child, did you feel they were in the right?

I know there was a question asked about how people felt about their parents using corporal punishment against them and I hear all the time from people who don’t use corporal punishment on their kids.

But what about those of you who were never spanked or anything as a kid? Did you feel that your parents were effective in punishment or was it completely ineffective?

For me, my parents never touched me, nor did they ever legitimately threaten it except when joking. Like, my dad would say stuff like “I think you need a spankin’” but it was a joke. My parents did other things that seemed to have worked. What about y’all? I’m really only addressing those who were not corporally punished. Please don’t turn this into a debate about it. I’m sick of that. It’s been done to DEATH.

Anyway, I have a sleepover to go to.
