Dad hand one of those narrow, 1½" leather belts that he could undo in the blink of an eye.
But I am proud to say I broke mom's wooden spoon. With my butt of course. So she switched to a wooden ruler. I cracked it, though. [BD] |

I remember a time dad found one of his tools broken. Neither of us would cop to it,(my older brother broke it) so he grabbed a 6' 1x2, broke it in two and whacked us both at the same time! Ahhh! The memories of my youth.

Yeah, mostly playing football.
I think there is a time and a place for physical punishment...I dont have kids, but, I wouldn't ever let a public official spank my child. My dad allways had a standing agreement with school principles that he was to be called and he would dole out the licks. This happened once. -HS |

Beat?
How about abused? Hit with belts and punched over the head.Ears twisted to the point that they were almost ripped out of their attachment to my head. Kicked while on the ground and knocked senseless, to what I now know is called a concussion. |

If you watch young parents today it is easy to see where this society is headed. The POS book that is even worse than "Dr. Spock" is the new one by T. Berry Brazelton. He says that a child should never be "forced" to do anything. They should be cajoled and talked into everything. Gone are "because I said so!" Now we have young girls trying to reason with a two year old. The young child quickly learns to run the house just by throwing a fit, as he/she knows (quickly learns) there will be no consequences. No spanking = no consequences = a child totally out of control that will be a monster in a few years. It is "the way of things" today. [:(]
Children learn respect through a bit of fear. If you ask any solid citizen why they didn't do certain things as a child or teen, they will all say the same thing--because my parents would have "killed me!" They do not mean literally "kill" but had a healthy fear of the dire consequences that restrained them from outrageous and unacceptable behavior. This is the foundation of respect. Today's kids fear nothing, and will do anything. |

I think I'm the only one that said no...I was never spanked because I was the "good" one and never got caught...my older sister was wild (and not too smart) and my poor parents certainly laid into her on more than one occasion. Now, if I had gotten caught, you bet I would have been smacked.

Sure. By family with hands, belts, boards, and peachtree limbs (till my back bled). By school principals with 1x4 pine board. Part of growing up. Having deserved most of it I'll probably recover.

I was pretty much a well behaved kid and I was never hit/spanked by my parents. My older sister, on the other hand, was a trouble maker and was smacked alot of times.
Now that I'm an adult, I have more of a smart-ass personality than I did when I was a kid. My mom jokingly says, "You may be bigger than me now, but I'm not too old to still whack you one!" And then she flexes her skinny, old arms at me. [:D] [b]ArmaLiter[/b] |

Yeah, my dad wouldn't warn me either. I remember one time, I accidently broke a window at the church with a rock. well, I ran off - thinking no one saw me. the problem was, my dad was talking to someone and watched the whole thing. i got home and we started eating dinner - not word about it. i thought i was free and clear. after dinner, i went to play with my toys he came up behind me with a belt and let me have it. from that moment on, i always 'fessed up to whatever it is that i did.

He had a belt that he never wore that he used exclusivly for tearing my ass(middle of back to back of knees)up. It was thick, flexible and painful. Once he got started you were in for a good ride. I'd say I deserved most of it. I was one of those terrible preacher's kids you've heard so much about |

Back to the subject of the post. Hit,yup beat,yup. You name it I got hit with it. The worst was being knocked out with the old timey phone headset. The handset was some kind of cast or pot metal ,bammmmm ,stars and then fade to black. Head ache for days. |

My brother, sister and I got smacked (open hand) from time to time; but the "intimidation factor" provided by our father was more than enough motivation for us to stay out of trouble. Verbal, in your face tirades were more the norm from our parents. Yep, I classify it as abuse. The stories my grandmother told me... I probably learned the same amount of "how not to discipline you children" from my parents as "how to......" |

I'd get spanked with my Dad's leather belt. In retrospect, I only got whooped when I did stuff like throw rocks at the kids next door--and hit them.
I still remember him laughing when he found me looking at a Playboy magazine in the barber shop when I was 4. |

I was spanked and I think up to a certain age it is a necessary punishment. But past age 8 or so, the spankings stopped working---rather than make me penitent, they just started to piss me off and make me more stubborn.

I remember my Mother's hairbrush. It was custom made in blonde maple and her initials were inletted into the wood on the back of the brush with big, raised silver letters. Those letters, [b]L H J[/b] were occasionally stamped/embossed on my butt when I was caught doing something that was regarded by the parents as . . . [b]baaadddd![/b] [owned]

yep. a belt on the bare ass. The more we cried and hollered the more whacks we got. I have three boys and make them do pushups for the less serious stuff. My oldest son set a school record for most pushups in a row (201) at age 7.

Quoted: Sweet Mother Dolomite used three little words to keep me and my brothers straight: [center][b]Hot Wheel Track[/b][/center] Oh man! I just had instant flashback of repressed childhood days. I laughed so hard when I read this. I was spanked with so many different things when I was a kid. I had totally forgotten about the hot wheel track. My parents almost seem to regret it today, but I reasure them that they kept me in line. I honestly believe I turned out to be what I am because of their discipline (which was never done in hate, only in love.) I see kids in bad ways now because their parents failed to discipline appropriately. It makes me sick because many of these problems could have been stopped with discipline at an early age. |

Oh! those HOT WHEEL TRACKS! Ouch! I traded my set to the kid down the street at a loss just toget rid of it! Baseball bat once, she poked me more then hit me. Once she found out she really couldnt physically hurt me anymore she stopped! I always came back with the, "I am going to put you into a old folks home as soon as I can." I think that actually scared her. I did find a few nice ones!

Hm, let's think about this. I lived in the Bronx, was the school brainiac, went to Catholic school, was the youngest of five kids and had an "old school Irish" mother but a pacifist father who perpetually drummed it into me that I should always turn the other cheek and never fight. I vaguely remember a few moments when I *wasn't* getting the crap kicked out of me.
FWIW, I disappoint my father on a regular basis. [:D] |

My parents only laid their hands on me two or three times when I was a kid, but then again, they didn't need to. The verbal assault they could unleash was usually enough to keep me in line. Especially my mom, I swear her eyes would turn black when she was really pissed and getting ready to unload on me.
