Did your parents beat you as a child?

[AliGodlike]

yes

once

no

[truthbeknown]

"Beat" is the not the right word. I was physically punished, yes. I was smacked and spanked as a child. I never looked at this as "abusive" or "illegal". It was normal parenting. You know what? I grew up just fine! I am not a rapist, not a bully, I don't beat women. I have never been in a single fight all my life. I have never been arrested, never did drugs, and been employed since I was 13 years old. Happily married and together with the same woman for over 20 years.

[OnlyYouKnowThat]

Yes, when I did something to make them really angry. Sometimes breaking something, even by accident meant that I was beaten. I was hit with a hand usually across the back of the legs, but sometimes with a belt or a shoe.

[SydneyTW]

I wouldn't say beat me. They just hit my bum with a ruler once or twice.

[Johnnie1000]

No, I was never beaten. Had lots of friends who were. Belts and other things were popular back then. Injury is ever acceptable but I don't thing physical punishment is always wrong. It I had got caught doing some of the things I did do I would have expected some kind of spanking or my mothers flyswatter on my legs. She did that on occasion. My punishments were usually along the lines of painting, landscaping, cut and clear some land and picking the weeds out of the gravel in our driveway.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes my parents did not spare the rod, i got spank from my mom with anything.

[ecfresh]

Thankfully no. They would spank me when I deserved it as a way of getting my attention so that they could discipline me properly. I have awesome parents who really love me and my brother.

[worldscolide]

Yes... and I had many broken bones from falling down stairs that dont exist..

[worldscolide]

WOW who the hell down voted me.. Is it because i was abused? Seriously the pink anons can be heartless bitches.

[kreamykraemez]

My dad even made me temporarily deaf in my left ear once good memories

[DesertCreature]

Hell yeah, with a belt just like that. But I was a bad kid and it was the 70s so c'est la vie..

[RIVERTAY888]

[boggboss]

Yes yes my mum did and I deserved every one except maybe 2

[boggboss]

Lol because I was beaten and understand I deserved it but others where abused I get down voted ahahahahah what a joke

[DarthM22]

I was spanked when I deserved it but I was never beaten.

[dropkicknj13]

No, they disciplined me

[witherwing]

No. And it's illegal anyway.

[Jaguar1818]

I grew up in an abusive home.

[blubblubblub]
