When you were 8 years old, what did you consider the worst punishment?

1 hour lectures about how they're always right and I'm always wrong or some crap like that

The results from this are sad.

Getting the shit beat out of me by BOTH my parents in the same day! They were both abusive. But they ended up being great role models...they taught me what NOT to do and how NOT to treat others...especially my children!

Getting yelled at maybe. I hate it when people raise their voices to me. I only remember being 'punished' one time. I was a pretty good kid.

Is this question supposed to be creepy?

a spanking was worst at 8 and worst now too

.... What's up with Middle Aged men and spanking?!?!? My mums punishment was not getting cheese after lunch (I'm such a Frenchmen I love cheese) and from my dad I would get shouted at really harshly... TBH the cheese one had more affect on me.

I'm not going to give you any ideas.. you punishment fiend

*my mom used to do something I hated but I'm not even telling FYI*

Rodney: I think the hysterical fit I had screaming and running to the neighbors made him stop beating her, he never beat her again in front of me, I don't know about other times. I learned to pray to God with my entire being after that incident, and after that when he was doing anything mean to me words would flow out of my mouth to protect me, they were very direct and simple...I didn't have any idea of what to say to him because I was terrified of him.

Rodney, he was crazy...we called him "the maniac" when he wasn't around, diagnosed schizophrenic and alcoholic but later diagnosed Bipolar and borderline personality disorder, and to tell you the truth the beatings I got hurt me a lot less than seeing my mother beaten, that just made me hysterical.

My parents did [i]not[/i] consider an 8 year old too old for a spanking, a fact my sister and I both well knew when we were that age.

Although I voted for "Getting a spanking from mommy," I actually feared spankings from both my parents equally. My father copied my mother's spanking technique in most respects.

@ Fernie 😱 Wow ! It crushes the flesh where it hits and produces a deep pain. Poor you! My brother-in-law whose father was an officer, told me that the pain is unbearable and lasts more than a week

diet dr pepper

@CODIN...YES! I feared the GARRISON BELT!!! I used to search for it in the house then throw it into the furnace but...she must have had thousands of them...and man did I get it!

Codrin...it hurt like hell! I still have scars. I was so afraid I would be violent like my mother...I decided at 20 to never have kids. I can't even tolerate people "spanking" kids now.

Just knowing my mother was upset with me was probably one of the worst things because I didn't want her angry with me.

I got beaten while I was still sleeping, my "father" asked me to hand him the Sunday paper while I was asleep and I mumbled in my sleep.

@cherokeepatti That is horrible, that you had to deal with that as a child! I am very sorry.

@ Fernie: I suppose you speak about a leather military belt, heavy and thicker than an usual belt.

the spankings from mum were worse then from dad then

Being made to go outside and cut my own switch...and you know the rest.

Getting beat with a leather belt had to be at the top of my list

Oh gee, why am not surprised an older man is talking about spankings.

Having to watch Telenovelas (soap operas) with my mom.

yea was a harsh life..... he apologised for it many years later though

oh snap starrykiss

I always feared the belt

My mom always spanked me and allowed her best friend next door neighbor to do it also. Continued to be spanked until 14

My grandparents finding out I had done something that would let them down

Mind u I still see no cheese after lunch as a suitable punishment

Grew up in a time when whoopens were still acceptable and expected !

getting punched..... my dad used to beat me round the head sometimes

getting a spanking from dad. it still is the worst

... Did it hurt getting the belt ?

U go EF! Give it to the man!

@ Codrin...that is the one...

getting a beating

Cat... Holy shit dude.

the belt

same as now

Beatings
