So both of you spank your kids? You do understand that you don't need to discipline them physically. I can tell you that doing so WILL NOT make them stop their behavior.
My W and I have never physically hurt our kids as discipline and they are extremely well mannered. The problem is that you are blaming the kids for misbehaving when in your case the blame falls on you and your W.
You both hit them out of frustration because you can't think of any better way to discipline them. Have you and your W EVER tried reading and actually Practicing good parenting techniques? It sounds like the two of you haven't done the work for that either.
The problem is that if your W believes in caning them, so will the OM. How would you like it when the OM starts beating them too?
Both of you need to learn how to be good parents.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
