....... are you for it or against it? Now I am talking about spanking to correct them, not to satisfy your anger .. Thoughts???
i've had to spank a few times, fortunately my boys only took a couple times each for them to get that thru their heads... my daughter still gets them fairly regularly as a corrective action (temper tantrums and etc.)... but it is something that seems to work for her despite her having down syndrome
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ohhhhh i was waiting for this one! i could keep you all laughing for days talking about my butt whooping stories! i would get my a$$ whooped if my sister did something wrong, and i was there and didnt stop her! whoooooo hooooo, cant wait to have some kids and put some fire on the butt and tears in the eyes. this was the best part.... after each spanking i got (all were with a belt) i'd have to explain to my father/mother why i got that spanking and what i coulda done to prevent it. then had to kiss either and tell them i loved them. thanks mom and dad! Edit not ALL some were with a belt some were with: (extension cord, cutting board, hand, dowel basically anything within reach) you want some psychology try making your kids go get the belt and if they take too long tell em its gonna be worse! haaaaaaa oh and dont bring the dress belt, you had better bring the thick work belt! disclaimer: my dad is only 5'8" moms is 5'5' =-) they claim they had to even the playing field!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????
Although I don't have kids, I'm all for it. Growing up, I had my butt whipped quite often as needed. It may have hurt a little then but I'm glad my parents brought me up that way. It definitely made me think twice before acting out on what I thought were good ideas at the time. Anyone else ever do the "whipping dance?" You know....when your mom/dad has you by the arm and you go in circles trying to get away. Good stuff. :D
Isiah...I got the belt too. AND don't laugh at your mom during the whipping cause you won't be when daddy comes home. Ouch! :D
Mom used to whip our asses. First, she'd make you feel like ****.....then she'd whip your ass. I grew to look forward to the ass whoopins.....as long as the lesson session (the sermon preceeding said ass whoopin) wasn't drawn out. They hurt WAY worse.
I layed down a few whoopins on my boys when they were growing up. But I always felt terrible afterwards. If I ever have grandkids, they will be off limits to whoopins on my watch! lol
man i did the dance so hard one time i knocked all of the partical board shelves off my wall, then got yelled at for having a mess in my room! i always got the worst ones cause i was the oldest/biggest so pops was wore OUT by the time he got to my sister. she would cry worse when i was getting it cause she thought dad was gonna kill her brother! butt whoopings in public were the worse "this hurts me than it hurts you" yeah rightttttttttttttttttttt! one time when i was getting older, prob in 7th or 8th grade got a whooping and didnt cry... that was mistake. dad turned me around and smoked me dead in the chest... and said, "thats what we have to come to now?" that was the last whoopin'
Although I 100% believe in it, my wife does not. It is pretty tough sometimes in my house as I have to adapt as a father. I grew up receiving the worst butt whoopins ever. I would rather fight the biggest kid in school than take a spanking from my dads hands. If my mother uttered these words over the phone I WAS DEAD...."yes, could I please speak to Colonel Tillett. Sam, I need you to come home and deal with Brett....." I cannot tell you the fear that struck in me. Also, another one would be when my father would pull me in tight and say, "DON'T embarass me in public..." If I heard that line and I acted up again there was not even .0000009 seconds hesitation on my fathers part. I was getting blasted up and over out and up all over my body.
LOL...good stuff man! :D I can't recall my "last whoopin" but it was probably in middle school as well. I almost hate to admit this because it sounds terrible but I even got the switch a few times. Thats when my brother and I did something really stupid. I'd almost call it child abuse these days but it really sounds worse than it was. I'll probably just stick to belts when my time comes to burn up some little azzes. :D
My Dad's favorite was a belt. My Mom's go-to was a large wooden spoon. My brothers and I gave my parents plenty of reasons to use them...none of it was ever my fault. I remember one time after getting the "wait until your father comes home", and we knew we were in for it. We could just hear my Dad's temper growing over the phone as my Mom described what we did. If she had to call him at work, we were toast. We came up with this great idea of wearing multiple pairs of shorts, and pants over the top of those. My Dad went to spank us, realized our genius plan, and we got it even worse. That was the last time we tried that.
my dad still to this day says, and I quote, "children only need to be taught two things. Fear God and Fear Dad."
The worst whippin' I received as a child came about the age of 12, when I decided it would be a smart idea to laugh at my Mom while she whipped me, and utter "Is this supposed to hurt?" I think I saw the Devil in my Mom's eyes at the very moment.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie my mom would lie! shed say i wont tell your father if you kids are good the rest of the time... what happened? soon as we sat down to eat she'd say, "you know them damn kids been actin' up!" so as soon as we were done eating i have to clear the table, load the diswasher and go get the belt. my sister would try and take forever to finish her meal!!!! oh i got the switch too, but by my house all of the branches were broken off the next day! i wasnt a dumb kid =-) mom used a wooded spoon until it broke over my a$$, my sis still braggs that the cutting board broke on hers =-)
