Have you ever gotten a spanking when you were young?

Do you believe spankings helped or hurt you?

Do you believe in spanking your own kids (future kids)?

How did you parents discipline you if you never got a spanking?


What is the worst spanking you ever got? :)

Worse I got was a belt for either taking money from my dad or coming home late for dinner.

I'm thinking bamboo under the nails for my kid.

Why screw around?

My babersitter's husband was an avid gun collector, and had a couple very big leather straps that hung from the guns.

If I was acting up, she would take me into that room w/ the guns hanging on the wall and make me stare at the leather gun straps.

Once, and only one was I on the receiving end of that leather strap.

I felt that it made me more responsible and I definitely acted more behaved because of the threat.

I would not hesitate to use the same idealologies on my children.

Yeah, but in some states, I heard it was illegal to hit your children.

You know, I remember my whippins. Most of them were because I was a smart a#s little kid, and I would run my mouth off without even thinking. But a lot of the times I got a spanking, I was telling the truth because I did know a lot for my age, and I told it like it was.

One time I threw a 2x4 through the China closet and broke the glass. I didn't mean to do it, I was aiming for my cousins head! :) But did my father surprise me. He whopped my arse good that day. I can probably count on 1 hand the number of spankings my father gave me. My mother on the other hand was a whopping machine, but I love her.

I know this may sound strange, but I thank my parents for striking my backside when I was wrong. Not only did it teach me respect, it helped me to develop a better sense of judgment!

However, I don't know if I could do the same with my future kids?

Yes, on a couple of occasions.

They just made me aware I had crossed the line.

I have occasionally swatted a bottom as an immediate deterrent/consequence but usually other methods work fine. No TV, go to bed early, no desert, no phone, etc work fine.

I had things I liked taken away if I broke the rules. I was a pretty good kid for the most part, at least until I went mad as a teenager.

My dad pummeled the heck out of me once when I was a teenager. I was pushing the limits and totally deserved it.


Any other questions? ;)

Hehe, I thought this thread was about something else ;)

Anyways, I don't really remember getting spanked. I got slapped a couple of times, but I'm sure I deserved it.
I don't believe in beating your kids, but I do think a spank on the bottom would often do more good than &quot;timeouts&quot;.

Spanking (or &quot;The Belt&quot;) is ok if used in moderation as part of a consistent discipline plan for your children. Crossing over the line into abuse is horrible.

My daughter has been spanked and will be in the future. No anger involved, love and a feeling of responsibility.

My parent spanked me and it worked. It happened 1-2 times a year and only when I crosed the &quot;line&quot;. I never had any doubts that they loved me and only wnated (and still do) the best for me.

I don't believe in it. I've only got a spanking twice, one by my dad for stealing, one just last week in bed when this girl an... err, officially once anyway ;)

And I won't ever hit my kid. Not me, not anyone else. If anyone else lays a hand on my kid I'll fncking beat the crap out of them. Hitting kids is wrong, no matter who you are in relation to them.

I could write a response that was pages long on this one, but I agree with Micheal, so I'll let his post speak for me too.

Spankings yes. Beating no. Any time I got a spanking I deserved it. I will spank my kids if I feel it is warrented.

Spankings only work if the children respect their parents. If he/she doesn't its just meaningless abuse and the issues would be better resolved through talking and listening. Definately don't spank a kid when he/she is old enough to fight back, you don't want to learn that hard way.

Whippings, beatings, spankings? Yes, please. I enjoyed all of them when I was a kid and still do. Pain is good! I mean, I didn't get off on it or anything while my parents were beating me, but after a while, it was just eh.

My father never layed a hand on me. He made me sit still on the bed while he used his leather belt to whack the mattress millimetres from me. I have never forgotten that sound and the wind. That was a damn efficient method I tell you, because the real deterrent is fear. I was always imagining that if this feels so bad, what would it be like if the belt landed on me instead of the mattress? It never did, it never had to. :)

I got plenty of spankings, both hand and belt. I was such a little bastard. :)

I always thought it was good for kids, and I still do to an extent. But I'm currently re-examining a lot of my ideas and beliefs right now. I'm not sure if spankings are helpful or harmful.
