Were you spanked growing up?

Question

I was spanked growing up, it didn't happen often but when i was bad i got one. It was always my mom who did the spanking and it was always a bare bottom spanking. I say this because i'm sick of all the people who say spanking is abuse and that bare bottom spanking is somehow sexual abuse. I never felt abused in any way and i can tell you my mom didn't get "anything" out of spanking me bare bottom, it just hurt more that way without cloths as a buffer so if i did something that deserved a spanking it was always the worst spanking i could get (bare bottom)

This one time when I was really little. I was being bad for. . . ok probably since I was born but i was particularly bad recently and we went to church. I was old enough to sort of know the guy on the cross was god but that was all I knew. I didn't know how he got there or what it meant. So I asked my dad (kinda knowing what was coming)

"What did that guy do?" and he looked at me like he was about to kick my ass
"What do you mean 'what did he do' he's god"
"But what makes that guy special,-" before I could finish my sentence he dragged me out of the pew and started smacking me around super old-school. Hahaha I really didn't know anything about our religion yet.

If I were ever spanked bare bottom, first of all it was when I was very young and when I did something pretty bad.

I know some people hear a story like this and want to cringe but this is how I was raised and for the most part, I'm a very nice, extremely forgiving, emotionally strong person. Do I think that the way I was raised is how everyone should be or needs to be raised? No. But I can say, if I specifically were raised differently, I wouldn't have a lot of the good qualities I have.

I think there's two types of parents. The ones who hit their kids to get them to shut up, and the one who secretly feel like their heart breaks when they do it.

Spanking is totally justifiable to the very young because they don't have any comprehension of logic and the only way to communicate good and bad is directly through a reward and punishment. And the best punishment to a young child who has no attention span is a short sharp pain that they will remember. It's a jolt to the brain's neural network that is like this old joke:
Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this...
Doctor: Then don't do that.
Very quickly, the child realizes "If I do X, then I will get spanked and that hurts. I don't want to hurt, so I won't do X."
The child may not yet understand why doing X is wrong, just that it is wrong and that's what's important immediately. The understanding why doing X is wrong will come layer as the child grows and rational thought and empathy kick in. But, until that day occurs, a spanking is a justifiable training tool.

Yes, I used to get a lot of spankings. My mom would take me to her walk-in closet where she had a little stool and do it there with her hairbrush, over her knee. It was a scary trip to her room, knowing how much that brush would hurt, but I sure as heck didn't do again whatever she was spanking me for. This was mostly until I was about 15. Heck, it's not even out of the question now, and I am 17.

Once in a blue moon, Dad would give us a Spanking on the Butt or Mom would use the Fly Swatter.
No big deal, I never called this Child Abuse because I Know my Parents always loved me.
However, if Someone on the street would see this Today, they would Contact Social Services and be on their Merry Way.
Good luck. xx

Yeah, my nana used to spank me on my bare bottom. And my dad would use a belt, which was HORRIBLE, but you'd never catch me doing whatever it was I had done wrong again.

Oh, and my mom used a wooden spoon to spank me. Now I'm 16 so they just take my phone when I get into trouble lol

I was spanked and Im not damaged. This generation is literally full of wimps. Want your kid to behave and not throw tantrums? Spank them once and I guarantee it won't happen again. Time outs and taking away toys does not work. Im with you on this anon.

Barrabus_the_Free · Answer

Yes. Not very often, but when I got it, I fuckin DESERVED it. My dad had a leather belt, and he was a biker...

I would laugh at anyone who is enough of a sissy to call it abuse. I MAYBE got spanked a half dozen times from age 4 to 12, when my parents divorced. Maybe. Probably less though.

N192K001 · Answer

Yeah, I was spanked, but in whatever clothes I was wearing at the moment. And now that I am older, I can agree with my parents that I did kinda deserve it. So long as it isn't abuse (striking violently out of pure wrath), but just discipline (controlled, measured use of reasonable force with a cool head), I see no problem.

WillowTree · Answer

Yes, not often though. I learned to stop talking back and not to bad shit real quick. I didn't get bare bottom spanked. I was hit with whatever object was closest that wouldn't do a lot of physical damage but get the message across.

CoralSun · Answer

Yes but my parents always had enough respect and consideration to never spank us bare bottom. That borders on disciplining with humiliation which is wrong.

Mesonfielde · Answer

>> I say this because i'm sick of all the people who say spanking is abuse I never felt abused in any way  That's great, but that doesn't change the definition.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. I had both spankings that were controlled, non harmful spankings and that were out of control abuse. There's a spectrum on this one.

fauchelevent · Answer

My parents spanked me pretty rarely, it was usually a smack on the cheek or a clip round the ear instead. I do consider spanking abuse though bare bottom spanking isn't sexual abuse in my eyes.

Snarkymalarkey · Answer

I was spanked a lot growing up, from about 2yrs old to 17 years old. My dad always did the spanking and I always found it more embarrassing then really painful.😕

TesticleMonster · Answer

My dad used to spank me and make me say "thank you sir, may i have another". Which of course would make him do it again. He derived some sort of sadistic amusement from it. I didn't think it was funny.
