Are / were your parents strict?

I never thought of my parents as especially strict. They, especially my mother, could be strict in some matters and in some situations but just simply Strict is not a label I would have put on her.
But times and norms were different then and the respect and obedience that parents in general demanded would by most children to day be experienced as strict.
My father used to punish my brother by spanking him with the belt and my mother consistently punished my sister and me for out misconduct by spanking us severely with her hairbrush. It was very normal and they way also our friends were punished at home and we experienced it as the most natural thing in the world that we were spanked when we were naughty. My mother was a little more consistent as spanker than most mothers I knew. She certainly made sure that we got a spanking whenever it was deserved and she did the job very thoroughly but on the other hand she always was fair and I cannot say that I or my sister ever got an undeserved spanking.

My mom was strict, my dad was real laid back.

it wasn't punishment ,there were no reasons other than they enjoyed inflicting pain. beatings ,burns , confinement ,being tied up . the other stuff is not something i talk about much

Both of them were strict. My dad was worse. I would usually get slapped, punched, kicked, hit by a belt, spat on. Lol not anymore tho

No, but my Aunt was. She always hits us with a shovel.

after dad died mum started using a belt 😟

i guess its the only way to controls my brother and me

Mammy is really strict, I often get spanked wiv hand, slipper or wooden hairbrush. Get other punishments like cornertime too.

My parents are strict, but only for my own good.
