when you were a child and you were crying....?

Question

and your mother said to you,'' keep it up and ill give you something to cry about",, what did she give you?

Answer 1

I never cried long enough to find out...

Answer 2

Usually, it means a spanking. But, my mother was too kind and gentle to ever do that. Clearly, crying means something. But if the child is doing it cuz she/he isn't getting their way, then actions should be taken, but nothing as such a spanking.

Answer 3

I don't think my mom ever said that so sorry I can't give you a good answer except I think had she said it I probably would have stopped. But my Mom and Dad were and still are great parents.

Answer 4

I don't remember my mom ever saying that. I was a good kid tho and didn't cry except as a baby. Kids are so spoiled now, they all throw temper tantrums. Bad parenting is the cause of that.

Answer 5

If my Mom said that it usually meant a slap in the head or a spanking if I didn't stop

Answer 6

i never cried as a child
but my sister did and my mother would smack the back of her legs when she refused to stop crying.....which only made her cry more

Answer 7

A spanking

Answer 8

well when every she said that,i would stop crying so i wouldn't have to find out what it was that she planned on giving me

Answer 9

My mum never said it to me but as a mum i hear it all the time in shopping centres and places like that and it makes me cringe!

Answer 10

A spanking...

Unfortunately, my mom was still a child herself when she had me, so she did a lot of things that could have been handled differently.

Answer 11

I got spanked, not in an abusive way just enough to get my attention.
