Did you ever get a spanking?


I was spanked a few times growing up. It hardly ever happened since I was a good kid.

If you suffered child abuse don't count it as a spanking though. It's different.
Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
Yeah. All of it was deserved. Only happened a handful of times though as when you get older it doesn't work anymore.
Yes to both spanking and abuse. I was such a good kid too, I don't know why I was spanked so much. >:(

Yes. In the face. With my dad's fists.

Tbf you've said your father was abusive so he was probably just a piece of shit who liked to hit kids.
Yes

And I've been hit with belts and sticks and shovels
I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen...
My parents did not commit crime no.

Yeah, but the spankings came from my mom, and most of the time for things I didn't do. Oh well, it's in the past now.

In Sweden it's child abuse.
Yeah spanked on the bottom. Deserved all of it. Glad my dad disciplined me while I was growing up. He was always fair about it.
Yes, but I didn't like and didn't learn from it so I must have been spanked wrong. I would be thanking my parents and citing spanking as crucial to my development if it was done right.

As it should be worldwide.

Also, people who dismiss getting hit with implements like belts as 'woopings' or saying they deserved are just qualifying child abuse.

This, though got spanked a little more than a handful. Them wooden spoons lol

Hilarious memory though was I got in trouble for something, don't even remember what, but my mom was going to spank me. Well she couldn't find a wooden spoon or anything, so she grabbed a flyswatter, and whipped me with it. I bust out laughing because you couldn't even feel it throug my shorts, and I was laughing so hard I couldn't even pretend like it hurt lmao

Was spanking the only way you were disciplined? How can you be sure spanking actually played a role in teaching you anything? Doctors don't seem to believe there is any connection. Could you not just be seeing what you want to see because you love your parents and don't want to admit they could make mistakes?

Pretty sure it is in all the west, save American and Britain, but I could be wrong.
more beaten than spanked

I don't agree with spanking. If you can't emotionally manipulate a 6 year old you're a lazy parent

You shouldn't hit your teens or your wife, but you should definitely hit a 6 year old when they won't shut up.
Oh God yes. With a belt.

I just don't think "might is right" is a good philosophy to live by, especially as a little kid. I don't think spanking is evil, it's just that to me an adult can't get a kid to shut up, so they cause them physical pain? It's so immature to me

My girlfriend is a 1st grade teacher for underprivelaged kids. She doesn't spank them, she emotionally manipulates them to want to be good

Why would you spank a kid for talking? That is fucked up
Yes.
Hell yeah, my mom spanked me with hot wheels race track once because she asked me to pick it up and I told her no. My grandma broke a wooden spoon on my ass once and then got even madder because it was her favorite spoon.

I agree. Don't understand why people think "only when I was little and only in a very specific way" makes it better.

1) Why are small children the ones who learn through violence?
2) If it should only be done to a certain age of child in very extreme circumstances in a specific way after you explain to them what they did wrong, then why do it at all?

While I agree with you, the term 'emotionally manipulate' has negative connotations that I'm not sure you're intending.

it is just plain weird, I agree.

You'd face a fine and possible jail time if you did it to an adult, but if it's a child then it's all okay and actually helps them?
I was hit. not in an angry way, just how my dad disciplined us
it wasn't often and he found that it didn't really work

funny how we've talked about spanking as adults and he admits it didn't work on me but thinks that it's still an effective form of punishment

Awh sorry. For me it was more belly and legs etc and my grandma not my dad (plus more like belts and etc then fists)


But my mom gave me spankings when I was in trouble
I-I really needed this~~
Time to stomp some faces!!!
i think so but it was only a few times and i didn't really care, didn't affect me at all

the shouting/yelling fights are much more vivid

No, it wasn't. But I'm of the firm belief that discipline like spanking can help and for me it did. Don't confuse spanking for being anything else other than just that.

You sound like you're just making up excuses and reasons to justify why nobody else could learn from spanking because you had "bad experiences" from it.
Yes, but never by my parents.
