So...Who Here Got Spanked As a Kid?

Question

And tell us your worst "I got whooped/smacked story". What'd you do to get it?

Do you think it's a 'bad' thing? Should it be outlawed?

(I'm not talking straight-up abuse w/ foreign objects & fists. Just the garden variety "You F'ed Up" slap/smack on the a.ss)

State your age too. I'm damn curious to know if it's becoming a generational thing. (ie: I'd guess that far fewer if Any people under say, 25 will say yes to this)

I agree. Outlawing would be stupid.

I sure got it when I had it coming. Worst one I got was when I signed a note home from school in 3rd grade. (Real smart; like my teacher would'nt notice my 7 yr old attempt at an adult's sig'! Lol!)

Teacher *mailed* it home afterwards, Dad got it this time.. I got da belt! A bit harsh, but I never got it when I *didn't* have it coming.

cope- That little story made me laugh! I don't think you guys deserve a whoopin for that though. A damn good talking to, yes.

Wow Dani- I had no idea you are a mother. & you're younger than me. Hats off!

Toya! LMAO! THAT one should be on Youtube to share w/ the world!

I guess you have "those' parents we see on the street who are meek when their kids yell at them in public, say yes to nearly everything & took the kids to rated R films when they were 6....

Answer 1

Ok i am 19 i got spanked a lot growing up (grew up with grandparents now 64 and 65) the worst i am not sure, i think it was just being mouthy, my grandma grabbed my arm and hit my a.ss repeatedly over like 20 times, and i couldn't sit, a little much, but hey, its not the worse
(i know u didn't want other stuff, but it is kinda relevant, she banged me against the screen door like 10 times because i walked out the kitchen fast and my book bag hit the trash can, she said i was huffy (tired it was 500 am) then grandpa shook me cuz i didn't move my backpack, cuz i was in middle of math problem) i think it is generational, and they are more abusive then just spanking, and no i don't think it should be outlawed, its just spanking, now anything else should be

Answer 2

A couple years ago (when I was 9 or 10), I can't remember why, but I got spanked by my dad. It was really a spank, more like a smack to the ***. I vividly remember running around the house while my dad chased me with a thick wooden stick. I got a big purple bruise from that. My dad has a terrible temper. He'll get pretty damn pissed at just about everything. I delay for a couple seconds and he starts yelling. A couple minutes will get me a threat with some object.

As for whether or not it's a bad thing, I think it varies on the degree. If it's just a stinging hit to the buttcheeks with the hand, then I think it's find. Anything involving a dangerous object is bad.

I'm 13. Pretty sad. :(

Answer 3

I'm 25.

I got spanked / smacked now and again, usually by my father.
But then he reached a more violent phase when I was about 8, and often hit me with a slipper. There were occasions when he hit me far more severely than that, always for no reason {the slightest, most innocent seeming thing could spark his temper}, but I won't go into that.

I don't think it should be banned {they've tried that here in the UK}, as long as it is only *reasonable* chastisment.

My aunt never smacked one of my young cousins - she used to shut her in her room instead. From the age of 2, if my cousin couldn't get her own way, she would hold her breath until she turned blue. She kept doing that for years. Personally, I think a quick sharp smack would have shocked her into not doing that more than once.

Answer 4

Yeah, I got spanked as a kid lol.

Worst:
The night of my sixth birthday, with me and my sunflower dress and lace tights, I was being a very bratty little girl. I cried unless I was first in line for every game and was pretty much acting spoiled, so that night after everyone left my dad basically let me have it. Never any thing like "abuse w/ foreign objects and fists," thankfully.

I don't think it should be outlawed, parents have a right to discipline their kids, when it's called for of course. Like Silver stated, sometimes a good smack really gets a kid in line, lol.

I'm 16!

Interesting question, Fonzie!

Answer 5

I'm 24

I completely deserved all the spakings I got.......I was a hellion as a child. The worst one involved my father's leather belt. I think I was trying to runaway (I was around 7).

I don't think it sould be outlawed. I grew up with it and it was a detterent........if my parents didn't I would've probably done many many more bad things. Its not a bad thing when used as a tool to help correct your child's behavior.........yes some people take it way over the line and pass the line into abuse..........but it should fall to the parents how they correct their child (in a reasonable sense)

I am a mother of a 4 year old. When the situation merits it, yes I will spank my son. To him, its more of an ego bruiser if anything. It may hurt for a moment, but it gets him to think twice before doing anything he's not supposed to.


Thanks Fonzie

Answer 6

Constantly! But I was a mischievous child.

Worst that I remember, my mom whooping me with her knitting needles and I tried to back away and whacked my head on the windowsill! I ended up with an enormous bump on my head and my mom told me that it was what I deserved for being bad and then trying to escape punishment. I still bring it up some times and she still says the same thing!

Spanking should not be outlawed. I think if that's the way the parent chooses to discipline the child and they're not straight up beating the kid then it's not a bad thing. I doesn't work on all kids though.

Answer 7

I was spanked as a child but I don't have any "I got smacked story" though. The last time that I was spanked was at age 5 and the last time I was grounded was when I was 10. I was a VERY tame child. I like the idea of time outs but if the child is still not listening, I say spank them. As long as you aren't angry and hurting the child, it's just fine with me. It should only be done with an open hand and it shouldn't leave any marks.

Answer 8

I'm 17 and I think I've only got spanked once when I was 4. I think I ran away from my family into the forest (or somehow I ended up in the forest I was banned from going into), it took my parents hours to find me. If I recall correctly, they said we were moving to America and I tried to run away, lol.
I never really got spanked cause I never did anything to ever warrant it (I was so obedient it was scary) because I grew up seeing my cousins get spanked and it scared the living daylights out of me so I was really good out of fear. Me and my cousins all turned out pretty well.
I think a little smack is good to put a kid in their place and to outlaw would be a little ridiculous (what next, getting arrested for having time out corners, they're "psychologically damaging").
It might not really be a generation thing, it might be a cultural thing. I know in most Chinese families, not spanking a kid is unheard of.

Answer 9

I was spanked too. I am almost 40 years old. I knew I was in trouble if my dad was going to be the one to spank me. I think he spanked me just once when I was about 4.

My spanking days ended when my mom swatted me with a wooden yard stick and it broke across my butt! I remember wanting to laugh but being too afraid of her reaction. Turns out she was laughing too and decided my "swat" days were over!

Spanking is not a bad thing as long as it is not done habitually and/or while the parent is very angry (it can be abusive then) and if the parent warns the child first. Also, the parent needs to take the time to explain WHY the behavior warranted a spanking.

I feel that there are too many brats running around out there because they are not being disciplined and spanked by their parents!

Answer 10

I don't think the government should tell parents how to parent their child but yes I did get spanked a couple times and a belt a couple times anyway I am 15. With belt and spankings I learned my lessons yea sure it hurt for awhile but I deserved I wasn't and am not the best child I could be.
