1 I don't like the idea of "do what I say or I'll hit you". I want my children to be able to question things.
2. It's too close to my favorite pastime. It grosses me out to have my kink associated with child rearing.
Let me guess: You were spanked as a child.
Take a look at this (your post persuaded me to do a quick search):

Particularly Study 4 (starting on page 25), dealing with "CORPORAL PUNISHMENT AND MASOCHISTIC SEX BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS."
If you want your children to enjoy violence as a part of their sex lives, spanking them increases the chances that that will happen.
You might also want to take a look at these links for other reasons not to spank (as well as looking at the other parts of the above link):

You can easily disregard my advice if you want to, but I would advise you not to have children with someone who wants to spank them.
