Did you recieve corporal punishment when you were young?

[dannybek]

wow it seem the wooden spoon and belt had been used overwhelmingly.
The soap in the mouth, the broomstick, and others definitely brings back old memories.
I remember calling my mom a bad word and my world was turned upside down, inside out. Good times, good times.

Oh yeah. Didnt' take long to learn. Belt and switch mostly. My mom accidently hit me with the belt buckle once, but she apologized afterwards.

I got that once by mistake, only she hit me in the nuts with it, while aiming for my leg when I was about 13.

I got a brand new Sega Megadrive (Genesis) and the recently released Sonic the hedgehog to make up for that, but that was after I laid on a massive guilt trip for a week or so after she hit me.....fvck it hurt like hell...not to mention the bruised testicles I got as a result....

The punishement far out wieghed the crime on that occasion....all I did was repeatedly refer to my 12 yr old sister as a fat retard...I couldn't understand why I was being punished, I was just telling it like it was.

The question is: do you guys support the use of this form of punishment?

Absolutely

I was smacked quite a few times when I was a kid, even got the wall-to-wall treatment a few times. I deserved it every time, and I am a better person because of it.

It is sad that this form of punishment is looked down upon.

All people who ever hit a child should be thrown in prison! Then the children can go to loving orphanages and foster homes.
I propose installing cameras in every person's house in America who has young kids.

So anyway, I was slapped a few times while growing up. When a bit older I've had shoving matches involving walls.
I can't wait to unload on my children!

wooden spoon, and I grew up in an Asian family, so this is normal.

I thought kung fu on children was normal...

Fly swatter, although it started when I was in high school and kind of a joke.

Maybe once or twice during my entire childhood by fathers' bare hands. Nobody recieves corporal punishment at school here.

I did recieve spanking with a wire hanger, belt, feather duster with the thin wooden handle and such when I was younger. Got hit like every week. I'm not going to hit my kids when I have them, just not going to have more kids then I can raise properly (maybe 2).

Another vote for the good ol' wooden spoon.

My mother busted one over my ass and now I get to guilt her about every time I see her.

Oh hell yes. My step-dad was a master...or so he thought. He'd beat mw with a belt, and I'd laugh at him...just to piss him off even more. He tried several wooden paddles and switches, I'd laugh until he finally broke them. He moved on to a paddle built out of a 2X4 with lots of holes drilled in it...that SOB wasn't such a laughing matter...but I NEVER let him make me cry...muthafvcker...He finally left after I tried to kill him when he beat my mom up for trying to stop him from beating me...never saw his face again.

Not even once. I still managed to serve in the Navy, graduate from college, start a family, and hold down a steady job with no problems. I plan to raise my daughter the same way I was.

All this talk about getting punched, thrown through walls, beaten with sticks/clubs, etc is pretty disgusting IMO. If someone wants to flame me for that, go right ahead. :roll:

I was a good kid, and very rarely got hit. I was the first child, and my mom left my dad to do most of the dirty work, but my mom did lay a few spankings down, but nothing noteworthy. I had the utmost respect for my dad, and all he had to do was raise his voice and I was in line. Every now and then when I would get in trouble he would send me to my room and stand in the hallway so i had to pass him on my way. Occasionally he would give me a swift kick in the ass as i crossed his path, but more often than not he didn't. Just the thought was traumatic enough.

My mom would absolutely freak out over some really stupid things and send me to my room to be punished when my dad got home. I would cower in fear for hours waiting for him to get home from work to punish me for some really stupid things I did as a kid (like when i was 6, peeing in a bush in front of the dentist office, because the bathroom was full inside. Another time I pulled a feather out of a peacock and brought it home). I would be terrified as he would come upstairs to punish me, and to my relief he would just give me a little talk and chalk it up to "boys will be boys". This really helped fuel the respect I had for my dad, which made me more obedient all around.

My 14 year old younger brother, however, has received the spoon on numerous occasions, as well as slaps across the face and some other things. Just a few months ago, I was visiting home for the weekend and my dad was away on a business. My brother did some really stupid things, broke windows and kicked holes in walls and was cussing at my mom. I lost control and beat the sh!t out of him, and almost strangled him to death. I don't know how my dad would have handled it.

the belt and im better for it.

 

[amish]

wire hangers, plastic hangers, wood hangers (but those were expensive and not used much), spoons, spatulas, and spanking.

i believe that it was only my mom that hit me. my dad didn't strike us probably because he thought that he would go too far. though one time he picked my brother up a couple of feet off the ground in a headlock.

Around age 11 I spilled some grains of rice on the carpet. My mother pestered me a bit to clean it up while my father was watching TV. He decided to intervene by stomping on my back while I lay on the carpet. Though I bled little the scars took weeks to go away, as did the pain.
