They can't hurt themselves by screaming and eventually they go to sleep never to remember in the morning.

Amen - sometimes it can feel like the cruelest thing to do when honestly it's the right thing.
If they are acting out sans a reason (dirty diaper, hungry, etc...) then that behavior needs to be understood and dealt with, otherwise they will play you like nobody's business.

Edit: From the father of 4 good/successful kids.

the summer after my younger sister was born was hot and humid, and hard to sleep. for about 3 months, one of my parents would have to drive her around with the windows open in the car for an hour or two, two or three times a week...or she would keep them all awake, squalling. i could sleep through armageddon, back then, i don't actually remember this, but heard my mom tell the story for years....

i got charged for doing bad stuff. i might get my ass beat as well, but if my folks had to pay for something i did, they made me work it off.
i got to work my ass off till whatever i did was paid for, and didn't get comic books, candy, movie money, nothing, till it was paid for.
had to clean out the wood furnace, bring in kindling and wood, shovel snow, work in the garden, sometimes just stand there and hand tools to my dad while he was fixing something....

I spanked my kids if they needed it or not. Both graduated at the top of the class. Both got many many scholarships, both have one or more master degrees. Spanking is the same as a water pistol, it's what happens after that counts. But to each parent do it your own way ( as long as it works ) .

Amazing, I was letting out a big Tarzan yell until the little lady punched me in the stomach. She said I was scaring the grandbaby, but I think she scared the other guests. It was an amazing place, only a little over a hour drive but I had never visited before. The gift shop sucked though, and a recent collapse had closed a portion of the tunnels so I was a little disappointed but it was a good day.
