My mom lectured me and spanked me up until I was eleven. Now I am just hit with words and long, long lectures and insults. I don't think that I was ever grounded before, but I have always been a pretty good child, so I didn't have to be punished a lot, but my younger sisters have😂😂 And let me tell you... they had it worse than I did.
They didn't spank me. I was the type of kid that would punch anyone that hit me lol
I got grounded occasionally , but they always gave in and let me out .. I have older brothers and I listened to them more than I did my parents lol They were soft on me really. I've out an okay person though , despite the lack of discipline as a kid lol
My moms favorite ones were to take away video games or the computer. We didn't have any TV anyway so that wasn't an option. She worked from home so it was really easy to check on us. Mostly she would just forbid me from playing with my friends tho, which I absolutely hated because we were about 10 kids who played together daily. I had to watch them from the window lol.
Both. I got spanked when I was young. Grounded more often. For every minute that I was late getting home, I was grounded that many days.
Once time when I was like 9, I accidentally broke a credit card machine at Walmart by jamming a quarter down the slot. My mom made me run home. She followed right behind me in the car but told me it would be worse if she beat me home. She stayed behind me the whole time and I ran like hell.
My parents have not hit me or grounded me even once cause they never felt the need to. My parents have my the freedom to make a lot of choices, including career and educational path, choice of personal beliefs and choice of hobbies. They've let me make my own decisions and till now I haven't made anything that bad. I have been scolded once in a while but I haven't done anything extreme. Besides that, they're really chilled out people.
Yeah, most of my friends think my parents spoiled me but they don't think so since I've never caused problems or gotten into trouble or misuse the freedome I've been given 😁
My parents are literal sadists and did actually come up with many way to make me suffer and bring me to tears - including neglecting me and starvation. THAT is domination/dominance!
Nothing beats living alone in independence and having lots of money.
I remember my mom trying to spank me a couple times when I was little, but I ran away from her. 😂 My parents never really grounded us. We would get a scolding and my dad would threaten to take our bedroom doors away. My sister got her door taken away a few times. Lmao
They used to back us in a corner so we couldnt run. But at the same time, it started to make me laugh. Taking the bedroom door away, thats nuts. My ex crushes mom did that because she didn't want her white son dating a black girl
Beatings regularly even if i didn't do anything wrong Tourcher included thing worse then Guantanamo bay prison if i was thought to be lying Extremely sleep deprivation 5am work outs every morning before morning chores Worked like a rented mule tell midnight at the earliest after school was over and boy you better not have been caught sleeping in class
Oh my god, whenever I was growing up (it can vary from 4+ age), my mom would grab this HUGEEEE bamboo stick I’d use for my karate classes and SMACK me with it. Normally, she’s use chopsticks, but it was horrendous.
They were the type to take my video game away. I got slapped a few times. Also got flogged on rare occasions (with a belt or a stick/cane). But only because I did something really bad.
Grounding wouldn't have worked. I was an introvert.
Yes to both of those, never felt hard done by or abused. I thoroughly deserved what I got. I also believe that it shaped me to who I am today, would I do the same to my kids, maybe but would never be the go to method.
My father would only have to talk to me. And I learned my lesson. He only beat the shit out of me like, once. That was because I beata the shit out of a girl who hit me with a stack of books. So, I beat the living shit out of her. And he beat the shit out of me. I was in middle school. Like 6th grade or something. But, I never hit another female since.
I got grounded grounded. My dad tried to spank me once and I hit him back like the garbage child I was. My kids though if they’re bad they get stuff taken because they’re lucky enough to have every electric device one could hope for 🤷♀️
I never got grounded even once. But I got spanked with belts, wooden spoons, hairbrushes, etc. And when I got older, I’d just catch a fresh one to the back of the head, and if we were real serious, mom dukes had the backhand on deck lmao.
And yeah, she kept me guessing as to what weapon of choice was coming. She was born in the 1930s, so she just came up in a different time, she was really more age appropriate to almost be my grandmother. My friends’ parents were all like 15 years younger, so they weren’t catching kitchen utensils to the buttcheeks😂
My mum is a single parent and had a different man every other weekend so she wasn't a good parent. I was always getting into trouble and she would grab my hair and walk me into the house or bedroom and ground me. I just got into more trouble.
Never got grounded. But years afterward, I kind of felt bad for my dad. He would get home from work tired and my mom would spout out what I had done to deserve to be punished. I'm sure he didn't appreciate that his brief interaction with his kids was to be the bad guy...
I chose option b because damn, my mother has especially slapped me but she has not spanked me or grounded me.. I am thankful for that.. she use to push me out of the bed to ask me to go play!!
Both spanking and grounding kind. They followed the principle spare the stick spoil the child. I used to get slapped more often but now I'm happy that I'm somewhat a better person which I may not have been, had my parents not punished me as a child. I'm grateful to them, a bit angry but still happy.
IF i were to spank and thats a big IF, it would be to the butt with my hand. I won't do weapons nor faceslapping. I see nothing wrong with a pop upside the back of the head though
Grounding was worse, as I had nothing to do those days in my room, no TV no gaming console, not even PC...
I feel old...
In my days I only got phone at 17, when earned money for it and it was only able text and call, no net or apps... And price for using it was sky high...
In early 2000 that was hardly available in my country, especially for teenagers and there was no need for it as maybe 30% of my friends had it anyway and barely had any minutes to use it anyway...
I never got punished in any form except once and I just got my allowance not handed to me for two weeks... but I still got it three weeks later... yea my parents went too easy on me...

Taking away the game was prob the worst part lol
No. They worst part was when they caught me playing after they thought they hid it :D
My TV got taken away once for that.
Holy smokes
Yes to both of those, never felt hard done by or abused. I thoroughly deserved what I got. I also believe that it shaped me to who I am today, would I do the same to my kids, maybe but would never be the go to method.
Yea no parents who punch kids and slap them are abusive. I never dealt with all that
Punching and slapping are totally different.
I remember being grounded for the entire summer holidays and would often earn myself a strike with a cane on the back of my thighs. 🙂
My father would only have to talk to me. And I learned my lesson. He only beat the shit out of me like, once. That was because I beata the shit out of a girl who hit me with a stack of books. So, I beat the living shit out of her. And he beat the shit out of me. I was in middle school. Like 6th grade or something. But, I never hit another female since.
Oh and he left the spankings to his mother. Lol.
Daaamn
I got grounded grounded. My dad tried to spank me once and I hit him back like the garbage child I was.
My kids though if they’re bad they get stuff taken because they’re lucky enough to have every electric device one could hope for 🤷♀️
Omg i wouldn't dare hit back lol
Yea I didn’t care. I was an angry ass child.
I never got grounded even once. But I got spanked with belts, wooden spoons, hairbrushes, etc. And when I got older, I’d just catch a fresh one to the back of the head, and if we were real serious, mom dukes had the backhand on deck lmao.
Spoons and brushes? Wow. Mom dukes? Lol are you a new yorker?
Haha, just a few hours up the way in Boston.
And yeah, she kept me guessing as to what weapon of choice was coming.

Thats really jacked up. My mom was agood mom but yea when dudes came along, she didn't spend her freetime with me and that bothered me
Glad to hear your mum was good chic x
