Definitely no. I remember how my grandmother used to accuse my aunt (uncle's wife not our immediate family) of doing that and looked down on her. I have no idea if it was true or based on anything but the fact is that in our family, there was a belief that stuff like this could damage a child's brain so I doubt anybody in our family had done that.

On the other hand, we were drinking black tea from the early age as the staple drink every day and I wonder if this wasn't the reason I developed anxiety. 😬

My parents had a lot o faults but they never drugged us.

as a kid I worked or did something outside. when it was dark I was ready to go to sleep.

No. They just told me to go to bed, and if I got out of bed, I got my ass whooped.

My parents would often make me a whiskey, honey and lemon shot so I’d relax and my frequent bronchitis would subside

There was no such thing. My uncle and aunt did use "sedadrops" to help my cousins.

The way our mother put us to bed—so calm and effortless—still stays with me. We were never the kind to trouble her. Discipline was instilled in us from a young age.

Its not something i would ever do to my 4 kids but bed times was a pain sometimes if they did not want to sleep. Mostly a smack on the bottom kept them in bed

My dad would give me a shot of whiskey. Knocked me out cold.

If they did i never knew about it

nope ours let us stay up late to midnight even lol

Probably. I was pretty hyper as a kid.

No, Ambien at an adult though.

Hell no.

NO

No

Can't say I am aware of anything like that.

Giving kids melatonin doesn't sound right at all

No
