My dad used to make me go and get a switch from the nearest tree........oh man, I don't think anything ever put fear into my heart quite like that. Another time he beat my ass with a 2 by 4......only to realize that I wasn't doing what he thought I was doing

Wooden spoon here - however I still remember the day she (mom) broke the spoon on my bottom while chasing me around the house....
Both of us stopped and laughed so hard....
After that we seemed to get an understanding of sorts and it never happened again.

father used either belt or hand, mother preffered a switch
although the good news is after i was spanked, they would frequently feel guilty and generally it led to something like ice cream, a video rental, etc, as a way to "apologize" for it !

I was a pretty good kid and only got hit a few times, mostly groundings (which I complied with, if I didn't a spanking would follow).
A grounding for me was in your room, on the bed, no TV, no video games, no radio, no toys....lights off....you can sleep or you can just lay there pissed off.
A few times I got hit...it wasn't spankings though it was my mom totally going ballistic, strikes to the face and what not...nothing too hard. Open handed....whatever she could reach first...I remember one time she smacked my face, scratched it, and then because she broke her nail I got it again...wtf...
I got the wooden spoon atleast once...and you know those paddle ball paddels..little elastic string with a rubber ball and a wooden paddle..I got that a couple times too..sans ball and string.
Anyway my little brothers grew up with my dad...they got the belt...the belt was necessary with them, because they wouldn't stay in thier rooms when they were grounded, plus they messed up a lot more often and harsher offences.
I can't imagine ever buying a paddle specifically for beating a child...how do you shop for that?
"Hey check this one out hun.."
"No I like this one, it's thicker and able to stand up to more abuse, plus here it says the flexibility was specifically designed to slap ass hard enough to leave welts"
Claritin was dumb enough to say "that doesn't hurt" once. Haha, oh man he got it good.

The "chancleta" is nothing compared to what I had to endure. Try "penitencia"! My parents punished myself and my siblings the most horrific way imaginable. If you really want to torture a kid, make them "sit at penitence". Imagine sitting in one spot for an hour or two while you're being preached religion and given a good old fashioned guilt trip by your mother, father and extremely catholic grandmother. I WISH they would've just beaten me...

Since when is a dildo a kitchen utensil?
Hell I can't find one in my kitchen anywhere!
I remember bouncing the basketball out on the front porch and yes it shook the big bay window(OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS).
Dad screams Sheila stop bouncing that ball.
I continued to do it anyway...
I hear this thump then this stomping running noise getting closer.
Shit I knew I was in trouble.I threw the ball and took off down the street.
Dad runs fast..very very fast!
I got the ole grab by the hair and drug up the sidewalk type thing and the words you just wait till we get back up to the house.
Then what always got me was after the punishment..(my ass was red already) noooooo that wasn't fulfilling yet.then running away crying I remember an ashtry and a shoe flying at me.See that was the closest thing..
Ha did ya ever make your parents so mad that they wanted to throw something at ya and there wasnt nothing in reach or loose to get?
That is the classic moments there.

My parents never used physical punishment that I remember. It was guilt trips, grounding, logic or chores.
However I did attend a Catholic Girls school and the Nuns were brutal, especially to the girls from low income families. They used those real long wooden rulers to beat kids. The boys told us that the brothers used belts which I think must have been worse. You were always afraid to tell your parents you had been punished because it meant admitting you did something wrong. I remember when I finally told dad that one had hit me. He stormed down to the school in a fit of rage and it never happened to me again.
A few years back the government removed the public school system from the control of the churchs here in Newfland and I celebrated that day

If the whippings were truly just for the parent to vent, then why would they stop doing it when you got old enough that groundings were more effective? If you love your kid, you will beat their ass to keep them from becoming something you won't be proud of later.

I think I got spanked once with a wooden yard stick. (3 foot wooden ruler, not a stick from the yard) But that's the only time I remember being spanked.
My grandparents used to manage a lake resort in the summer and my brother and sister and I would take turns spending weeks with them throughout the summers. One day when I was about 4 I decided to see what would happen if I put an entire roll of toilet paper (unrolled) in one of the toilets in the bath house. The toilet overflowed and made a horrible mess. Using the unfailing logic of a 4 year old, I left the bath house and didn't mention it to anyone. My grandpa was incredibly upset with me and that's the worst punishment I can remember as a kid, him letting me know how disappointed he was in me.

Belt and my parents would make me pick which one. I don't think I ever figured out which one hurt less. I knew not to get the one with holes in it, as it flew threw the air faster than fucking lightning and stung really bad. I didn't read most of this thread... but what the hell is a switch?

you bring it back in, pull down your britches, and proceed to get whipped.
basically its like caning, but thankfully bamboo doesn't grow naturally in the Southeastern US!

My mom broke many a wooden spoon on my ass. One time I knew I was in trouble and went ahead and broke all of her wooden spoons before she got to me, that only made it worse.
My dad, on the other hand, only spanked me once with his hand. I could tell he didn't want to because he barely swatted my butt three times. I remember thinking, "Huh, that's it? ok then."

I agree with this.
I think there is a big difference between a swat on the bum and an outright beating. After reading most of the stories in this thread, I'm quite glad all I had to deal with were a few spankings.

My groundings were the same way. We were allowed to keep the lights on till bedtime but we weren't allowed any sort of fun. We were allowed bathroom breaks and then it was back on the bed. Usually this was a week at a time for most offenses. It really sucked in the summer when you couldn't go to school. My brother would mouth off and get weeks at a time being grounded.
Grounding was way worse than beatings.

My brothers got the belt until one night my father hit my brother on the face with his hand. Later that night my brothers nose was running and when he blew his nose his sinus "expanded" like a baloon and his whole face was swollen around his eye.
My father never raised a hand to any of us again after that.

How about all of the above?
When I was bad, I would get a swat on the ass with the hand or sent to my room (until Mom figured out being sent someplace where I could read a book wasn't really punishing me). If I was really bad, I got whatever was handy from Mom (coathangers, wooden spoons, etc). If I was extraordinarily bad, I got the "you're in trouble when your father gets home" and it was belt, switch or if I was lucky (most of the tmie) it blew over and I got off with the Big Scare.
As far as beating, well the only one I really got was when I was 14 and it wasn't a bad one, but I never called Dad a cocksucker again

I don't think you should fear your parents as a child nor do I think you should fear authority when you are an adult. Respect and fear are two completely different things. I'm sure there are 10's of millions of examples of people who were disciplined violently as children who grew up to be right bastards and kids who were never touched who grew up to be perfectly normal individuals.
Just about every child psychologist will tell you that corporal punishment doesn't work. Children often don't remember what they were being punished for nearly as long as they remember the punishment. If it worked as a deterrant, then you would only ever have to spank your kid once.

Each of the 4 serious spankings I received was for a different thing. I never got caught doing any of the particular infractions again. So either most kids are really stupid or most child psychologists are full of shit. I think it's a combo of the two.

My dad raised his hand at me once when I was around 14. He was a little drunk and I got home late (but before my curfew) and he was convinced that I had been smoking pot or something (which I hadn't been).
I was so outraged at the injustice that I told him off for five minutes, put my jacket back on and started for the door. He grabbed my shoulder roughly and I don't know if he was about to slap me or something, but I got so pissed off - FILLED WITH RIGHTEOUS FURY - that I lifted him off the ground and slammed him against a door, yelling that if he ever put his hand on me I would kick his ass from there to the North Pole. He was so flabbergasted that he just stood there as I left.
We talked about it later, and a similar situation never occurred.

Kicking him just a couple houses down the street isn't that scary!
I agree with the school of thought that says physically punishing your child isn't the way to go. Like has been said, it's not the reason why you're getting punished that the kid will remember, it's the beating. It was far more effective when the folks took the deeply hurt, disappointed, let down strategy. Leaves you feeling like shit and YES actually thinking about what you've done. Most of the time...
ps. I feel sorry for anyone that was beaten with a dildo by their parents as a child. How are they supposed to vote when there's 3 valid choices in the poll!
Posted: January 14, 2004, 6:35 pm
by Zamtuk
well, while its true that they won't remember the reason more so than the punishment, they will remember what happened to them the last time they did whatever got them in trouble. so it does work, at least it did for me. I can count numerous beatings without recalling the reason (though they were usually from backtalking or picking on my brother), but if i ever did come up on a certain situation that got me beaten last time around, bells will go off and ill shy away from doing it.

Never did it again. I didn't figure out that not getting caught is almost the same as not doing it until I got into high school. Each of my spankings was proceeded by a lecture, both to give my folks time to cool down as well as to remind me why I was being punished.

I was never hit by my parents. When I was young, I committed two major infractions. In both cases, I was made to find the person I had wronged, admit what I did, apologize, and take any steps necessary to mend the problem. I was also grounded. Neither incident was ever repeated.
I do believe that corporal punishment can be used effectively in very limited circumstances. A parent should never hit a child out of anger. The stories being described where kids are hit by whatever is closest at hand, or chased by their parents or whatever, are tragic to me.
Situations like what Masteen described- being punished rarely for specific infractions- are more sensible.
A parent hitting their kid because they are angry and incapable of controlling violent outbursts toward helpless children is pathetic.
A child can be raised effectively with or without corporal punishment. The key is that punishment is issued fairly, without anger, and with adequate explanation as to the reasons for the punishment.

So you were one of those weenie good kids that didn't concoct some of the devious plans that some of the rest of us did. I could start today and not be able to finish apologizing to people I wronged as a kid or teen. And if I did, I would probably go to jail for admitting I was involved in some of them. I am telling you, if I didn't have to face retribution at home for my actions, things could have turned out vary bad. Facing the parents was much worse than facing 3 hot meals and all the butt sex I ever wanted in prison.

The older you get, the more the punishments start to shift in potency. Young kids simply dread a spanking. At about 10 years old and up, most kids will take a severe beating over being grounded for a month. I remember I started asking for beatings instead of being grounded when I was a teenager. Hell I would take a beating twice a day over being grounded for a week, f that. My 12 year old son loves his playstation 2, his computer, his bike, allowance, staying the night with friends. I take that from him for a week and it does more than any spanking could ever dream of doing. Groundings don't phase my 3 and 4 year old, they can sit on the bed all day playing with an imaginary friend or singing or whatever and be fine for hours on end. Say you are getting the belt and they see teh angel of death himself.

I had an imaginary friend named Wambage. He would always be driving in the Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars I had.
of course, when my older brothers discovered that Lysol sprayed in front of an open flame melted things including Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars.
Wambage died in '73 in a horrible apocalyptic fire storm of flaming disinfectant.
Wambage is dead .. Long live Wambage.

I never got beat as a kid. My parents found other creative ways for me to be punished.
I was one of those kids that would hit baseballs through the neighbors window. Not only did I pay to have that window replaced that summer, I also got to mow their yard for 4 weeks, nice punishment considering they were on 1/2 acre.
Being a small kid in Jr. High, i got picked on. Of course I had the growth spurt and ended up being 6'3" 240 by the time I graduated so I took advantage of that to correct the wrongs of yesteryear against my former tormenters. After one such fight, which was self-defense as I didn't swing first, the dean (read: enforcer) threatened to swat me. In one my dimmer moments, I told him that if he laid one hand on me, the next kid that fought with me would end up in the hospital.
I'm glad I never had to test that theory out.
