Were you disciplined as a child?

My dad would hit me with a belt. It would probably have landed him in jail nowadays.

I was a bad ass kid so yes

@DragonSlayerr My parents also used slippers as spanking implements but they never once threw one at me.
DragonSlayerr · 26-30, F
@Crazychick i never got spanked. I think only once. All was thrown at me tho lmao. That’s why I have damn good reflexes
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@DragonSlayerr I was the opposite. I got spanked for everything. I never had things thrown at me.

It went way beyond discipline.

Yes me my sister and brother were all brought up in a house where Mum and Dad believed in discipline. It never did us any harm and probably taught us to behave much better and to have more respect for our elders.

I was only ever punished physically twice that I can remember and I honestly really deserved it both times.

I got the shit beat out of me with fists. Usually because I didn't want to drive the tractor

Yes, my brother and I were both physically "disciplined". Sometimes with a belt. Not such a [i]great[/i] thing, I don't think...especially when done in anger. It is the way they, my parents, were raised. They thought it was what they were [i]supposed[/i] to do.

@Piper It was a different time.
Piper · 61-69, F
@chrisCA Well yes, it certainly was. 😯

Discipline does not mean assault
jackieash · 26-30
@MissLlyn I usually find the "it never did me any harm" trope to be the worst. I had an uncle who was at school when caning was allowed. I remember him saying that some teachers didn't consider caning to be enough. Some did commit assault and kids then weren't listened to. He told me he was assaulted (smacked across the face) on two occasions simply because the teacher was shit at his job and lost control of his temper at the slightest thing. And that was when the cane was available.
MissLlyn · 26-30, F
@jackieash because they didn't smack me hard or beat me raw? sometimes you can't control the kid and a spank shuts them up and behaves. worked for most of my cousins and me when I acted like a shit.
jackieash · 26-30
@MissLlyn So "discipline" didn't work then, did it? Why did you keep on behaving like a shit? If it worked, it would only have happened once.
AmmieBell · 18-21, F
Guess it depends on where you live. My parents definitely believe in spanking, and still use it. Definitely the most effective with how many kids they have lol. Keeping three kids in timeout at once is a nightmare 😂

My dad worked 12 hours a day ) dats a week. My mother was the one who disciplined me over her knee or with a belt.

No. I don't consider the kind of abuse I endured discipline. My mother just hit me hard on the front of my body or on my face whenever she wanted to intimidate or humiliate me.

For the details, please read my Featured story under my Profile.

Yes I was spanked

We were given “swats with a wooden paddle in Jr. High & Senior High School by the dean. We could either get swatted or be suspended for a few days. The paddle had holes in it, more aerodynamic I guess 😢

I wasn’t abused as a kid. I got lot of spankings as a kid. Now days parents can’t discipline or they will be accused of abuse

Beaten up and terrorized. I guess it was his seeing as discipline but destroyed me. Very stupid
Coisty · 51-55, M
Yes. I got absolutely battered a few times

I think a lot of the crap our parents did back then is waaaaaay too far now for sure. I'd have enjoyed the idea of my dad going to jail back then lol.
chrisCA · M
Where I live, a parent would find themselves in hot water for that.
Ursamajor · 46-50, F
No physical punishment.
Helganvisari25 · 51-55, M
I got grounded a lot too. It really sucked.

@SteelHands At least you are right in your first sentence, but you are wrong in your second. Most of us in my part of the city DO give a shit, that's why we want more of us on this site. Trouble is, there are anti-British bigots on here who run us off with their lies and false accusation.

@SteelHands Please don't tell me what I should or shouldn't be. Who said I was intimidated anyway? I've been fighting injustice ever since I saw it. It's nothing to do with politics, I don't usually get involved with that.
