I've had to. That is what my Papa and my mom did. They'd say go and get a switch it better be a good one or else I'm gonna get it myself. Papa called it buck brush. It had to be green and limber.

Damn! From the looks of all the posts here, we still live in the fricking stone ages! I would have thought society had progressed. Guess I have not been down south much. We still sux!

yea, many times. It is an antiquated practice. I got it less than the other kids though, cause I stood up to him and told him what I thought of him while he was doing it. LIKE "keep doing it, cause I'll give my life to have you spend the rest of yours in jail", you bastard" and that was when I was a 10 year old girl.
By the way, one time is one time too many, it is physical abuse. P.s I live in the "enlightened" Canada, not down South

Yes. I live in a southern part of the USA and my grandparents were from the hills. I think there were unable to pronounce the letter 'g'.

I believe in a good old butt whippin when needed. none of the namby pamby time out mess. It isn't abusive if done for good reason and to teach a lesson.

My aunt and grandma used to make me do that. If I didn't pick one they liked I would have to do it again. The pain goes away quickly, but the lesson is learned and stays fresh in your mind!
