Parents did that back in the day as a form of punishment for swearing or talking rude to people... Not too clean your teeth... Why do all your replies come off like you're trying to insult me? Sorry tho, if you didn't understand the question 🤷🏼♀️
See, there you go again... Wasn't just swear words, it was any talking back or if you got caught in a lie... But let me guess, you NEVER told a lie in your life, right,? 🙄🙄
haha i was the quietest kid ever, you couldnt get anything out except a smile or no or okay but if i read a book i read it fast out loud so i could go play again
Got the soap too... But what does white have to do with it.. and funny cuz if I was saying "a black thing " or an "Asian thing" you and 20 others would be accusing me of being racist... But saying "it's a white thing isn't"... Can we not just discuss anything these days without people making it about race 🤷🏼♀️ I know plenty of black and white people that got their mouth washed out with soap... And plenty of black people that used time out as punishment... It's more snot the times and less bout race...
Aww man, liquid soap? That sucks... Mom always used Ivory, and don't think it was always a "fresh" bar 🤢🤢 don't even wanna think where else that bar a soap mighta been 🤢🤢
Have you ever got that punishment which we had to stay on knees on a bunch of raw corn? It was horrible and it was very common at my father's childhood

I did... but never suffered blindness from soap poisoning lol.
Not blind, but do need glasses hmm🤔 is that why 🤣🤣
That darned Lifebuoy!
Lolol actually it was Ivory 🤣
For me it was Irish Spring lol
Once, in a pinch, my mom used Fels Naptha 😟
What's that? Never heard of that one
Fels Naptha is laundry soap which comes in a bar. It's used for removing stubborn grease and oil stains like motor oil and cooking oil.
I had a very potty mouth as a kid, so yes, it did happened one time. Felt like hell. 🤡
I think my mom was soap happy, cuz way more than once... But it wasn't just swear words, it was anything considered rude to say
Oh yes. I got the soap in the mouth treatment on a few occasions when I let slip a few four letter words lol
Not s good taste is it? 🤢
Well it did clean up my language at least until I was old enough to pay my own bills
Right lol
I thought this was just in movies. I don’t agree with that kind of punishment at all.
No that used to actually be a punishment
That’s shocking lol
No, but my dad convinced me to bite a bar of soap once.
As punishment?
No just to see if I would.
🤣🤣I mean that's not a nice trick lolol
No I never used bad words in front of my parents as a kid
Wasn't always just for swear words in my house... If got caught in a lie, or fighting with sibling or tattling,...
Really you got in trouble for telling on ur siblings
If it was just tattling over nothing just to try to get someone else in trouble yeah
Ohh.
I don't know what era you grew up in to experience that but in my era we have Listerine mouth wash and dentists 🍦

You haven't said it was a way of punishment in your question 😂
If you didn't get that, that's on you 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe I didn't know because I didn't swear at people ☺️ yeah it's on me
See, there you go again... Wasn't just swear words, it was any talking back or if you got caught in a lie... But let me guess, you NEVER told a lie in your life, right,? 🙄🙄

No I’d probably bite someone’s hand if they tried that
I never swore but I have definitely been smacked several times for talking out of turn.
Yes... lots of times. Lol.
Yeah same..
Yeah, once. Was awful.
Right!
Nope I think this must be a white people punishment like the time out.
Never heard of it until I saw it in a movie and on TV.
I'm white, we didn't get no time out.. We got the belt
Well that's nice it doesn't apply to you doesn't mean other white folks don't do it.

"about not snot.
Yes and I didn't even mean to swear
Yeah that sucks
Yeap. And liquid soap 🤢🤮
Aww man, liquid soap? That sucks... Mom always used Ivory, and don't think it was always a "fresh" bar 🤢🤢 don't even wanna think where else that bar a soap mighta been 🤢🤢
Oh god nasty. I had a designated soap bar but sometimes they’d get lazy and make me go the liquid route 🤢
Yeah that sucks
No, but I was beaten with a belt a lot
Yeah we got spankings with belt or sometimes wooden spoon
Have you ever got that punishment which we had to stay on knees on a bunch of raw corn?
It was horrible and it was very common at my father's childhood
No but I have heard others and users on here say that, but with rice instead of corn
Corn hurts more LOL
I would assume so
Not me. I’ve never had that happened.
Lucky you
Me, never happened. But my older sister did.
Lucky you
LOL. 💞
Well for one u aren't suppose to eat it I do believe so no I dont believe that has ever happen to me
Who said eat it, parents used to put soap in mouth if you misbehaved
Oh never heard of that and I haven't seen it either and I highly doubt it was effective
Yes and the belt. But I'm old
Same here... And same here lol
I got the belt when I came home with bad grades
@Rob17792 yeah or incompleted homework, or if got in trouble at school
or did bad in a baseball game and when it wasn't a belt it would be a telephone cord or trophies or worse
@Rob17792 okay all that's too much, so sorry you went through that
No I didn't. We had to drink castor oil 🤮
Yeah ewww that way rather the soap
Yes, I never found it very pleasant
Can understand that
