No, I was raised by both of my parents and they never ever hit me.

Spank, maybe, but 'beat' is a different story.
-
I raised two sons and never hit them.
-
No my Mother never beat any of us.
-
No. Most of my friends parents never laid a finger on them
-
Good Lord, I hope not. What a silly thing to ask.
-
I would hope not. Mine didn't.

When is it reasonable, if at all, to use corporal punishment in child rearing? That is a question you might consider. Beating conveys a heightened sense of violence. ALL PARENTS do not beat their kids.

Many parents hit their kids, but many don't. I think it's absolutely terrible to hit a kid. As a grown up, I still remember being hit, and emotional scars remain. I tried talking to my parents about this, but they won't admit to this. I remember being hit with a belt many times and having welts from it. I felt too ashamed at the time to do anything about it (i.e. call police, talk to a counselor at school, etc.). Now as a grown-up, it still haunts me, and I've distanced myself from my parents. *** For any parents reading this, PLEASE don't hit your kids, and think about the future ramifications !!! *** By the way, this is a very good question to ask. Most people just brush this sort of thing under the rug.

I have six older brothers and sisters and my parents never beat any of us. I want my son to respect me but never ever to be physically afraid of me or my husband.
-
My parents spanked me quite a bit as a child. when my younger sister came along, she got spanked less, and my youngest sister has never gotten spanked. But that is not really beating. I am never going to hit my future children.
-
My Mom hit me only when I hit her first.
-
beat? no. hit yes.
-
No.
-
Not if I am around they don't.
-
No, I got a few spankings, but never beat.
-
No, and I hope mine never do.
