Spankings

Time outs

Loss if privileges

Scolding

[Goforit1010]

It wasn't just one of those choices. We got spankings, loss of privileges, scolding, additional chores, and we were confined to our rooms for periods of time except to use the bathroom and eat. It varied based on the offense. When Mom & Dad told us to do something, we did it, the way they expected us to get it done and in the time frame we were told. Everything from folding clothes, to vacuuming, to washing dishes, to cleaning up our rooms and the rest of the house. If we stayed out later than we were allowed - even 1 minute, we had to accept the fact we couldn't go anywhere the next time we asked.

It was through that discipline, we learned to follow directions, be on time, do the job we were given, and do it correctly. When we got jobs as we got older, we quickly understood WHY were were punished for how we behaved. Made us better people for it too.

I was told to stand in the corner for 10 or 15 minutes and think about what I did. When time was up I had to explain why what I did was wrong and what I should have done instead. I think it worked pretty well. Better than getting abused in one way or another.

Scolding but all punishments. My mother used to lock me in a dark room. One of the things that lead to nightmares especially after I was attacked at night once. I am 23 years old and still terrified of the dark!

Wooden spoon or hairbrush ass-whuppin’ when I really cut up. Or my mom would slap me around a little bit, I caught a few backhands lmao. Once or twice I got sent to bed without supper. Usually just scoldings, otherwise. My parents didn’t believe in grounding, so I didn’t lose privileges much. I think once after a bad report card I wasn’t allowed to watch TV, but they still let me watch NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl, so it wasn’t even a full ban, more just like no TV on school nights.

I never got him as a kid actually, damn now that I think about it my parents were really nice to me, and I always respected them of course like if my mom told me that that was a mistake, yep never happening again

All of the above. It tended to get less physical against my brother and I and more physical against our stuff s we got closer to being bigger than our voluntarily single mother.

I used to get the whole works but spankings was common. A good scolding was usually all that was needed but it depended on the crime…

All it took was a look of disappointment on either of my grandparents' faces for me to straighten up.
