How were you punished as a kid?

I was spanked and had to go to my room or sit in the corner when I was younger. My dad sometimes shook me up a little. Other than that, nothing. I was spanked with their hands though. Never a belt, paddle, etc. Nor was I ever hit except on my butt.

I was locked in an air tight room, with a bucket filled with Amonia and Bleach.
My hands were put into boiling water.
Had salt poured in my Eyes.
And if I was REALLY bad, they took away my Jackie Wilson Vinals😀
 
well I was spanked with a belt a few times, and "grounded", but nothing that I probably didn't deserve.

I also got those long talks... man those were the days 😀



But Overall my Childhood was the shiizzzznittt... 😀


Im glad we are out of the "abuse your child to behave" era...
 
I was grounded a couple of times and once they wouldn't let me go trick or treating on Halloween but after I was 11 or 12 I didn't really do anything bad enough to get punished.
 
as a dad i can vouch for a new, guaranteed effective, non-verbal form of child punishment.. hehe

if junior doesn't listen to mom or dad - i drop him from the home LAN (no internet access). i reserve this for major infractions, after multiple low intensity verbal warnings don't have the desired effect.

it gets his attention fast.

probably will be classified as child abuse someday, but until then i highly recommend it

 
I got my ass beat. hard, a few times. The most severe of times, my behind would be so bruised that I could sit for a while, and the other time, my back had 10+ welts that didn't allow me to sleep on my back. Other than that, lots of groundings, smacking of the hands, standing for hours at a time, and squatting, which as previously mentioned in another post, hurts like no other after a while.

But I probably deserved it all and dont' think bad of my parents at all for it. And yeah, I'm Chinese. 🙂

(Our Chinese family friends called my mom a nickname, translated as "mean lady" or "Mrs. Mean". :-D )
 
Mostly spanking, sometimes my dad punched me. He's apologized for that, but I"ll never forget it, nor have I ever forgiven him for it.
 


<< my allowance would be reduced from $100 a week to say $50 >>



Someone's got rich parents....

My parents never really punished me, but then again I barely did anything wrong.
 
damn...you guys all got it pretty easy 😉

except for the chinese people here, which can relate a little to me :Q


when i was really young, the wooden spoon did the trick. I lived with my cousin all my life, and he is about my age. we would always get beat together, since it was usually together that we did something bad. When we were both about 5, we got the courage to HIDE THE SPOON!!! that's right, we thought we were the $hit cuz we hid the wooden spoon! little did we know, the worst was yet to come. it went straight from the wooden spoon to the Nintendo controller cord. yup, we were made to lay on our tummies while dad was sitting on the couch, he would put his feet on the back of our knees and on our backs, and whack away. the last time we got beat was well over 8 years ago though, thank god for puberty 🙂
 
I was really surprised as a child about how much I could get away with. I mean, I was always afraid of being punished for things, but it just never happened. I guess I was lucky...
