My mom loved using the belt, I remember the first time she pulled the belt out I cried and begged til she felt bad enough to let me slide but that only worked once... She would switch it up though too, go outside and get a branch from a tree. Dad was never really around but when he was and tried giving me a "whooping" I was too old so that shit never happened.
my mom used to hit me with plastic hangers so much I got used to them and could take the punishment with ease. When she realized the plastic hangers wernt hurting as much anymore she started using wire hangers.....I was fucked when this happened. Ill never hit my kids.....they might end up to be brats but I don't belive in hitting my kids. Taking shit away from them hurts them just as much as spanking them.
Got whipped with the belt and cane and whatever they could get. But I think it was worth it. Made me who I am today. I think kids need to get hit more. I see my nieces and nephews getting away with shit we never could back in the day. And I believe it's cuz they don't get punished like we used to. And I don't mean beating them as if they the same age as you but enough where they know that's something they can't do.
I was beat. And deserved it. Crazy little fucker... i was whipped with switches, belts, slapped and socked.
One time we pissed off my uncle so bad he fuckn went to the garage and started constructing this big paddle to hit us with... It was so heavy it didnt really hurt cuz he couldnt get no wind under it.
My momz socked me in my mouth when i was in 8th grade as the last of adolescent spankings or whatever but when we got in a fight when i was 18 she hit me with a 8x10 off the wall lol.. good times.
I say all that to say this.
I do regret alot of shit i done but think back with a smile like i was vicious. I dont feel victimized mistreated unloved or no dumb shit. I feel bad what i put my single mom thru and was able to become great friends with her before her death. She died when i was turning 28 but by 25 i was grateful she gave a fuck cuz i have a successful career great marriage and have allways been complemented for my manners and how i articulate things.. I got that from building off those whoopings..
I acknowledge that some people do get abused from a dark place and its wrong but kids need to disciplined and im proof (either tho it seemed like it wasnt working for age 0-20)
When I was a freshman in high school, I thought I could take on my dad since I played football and started lifting weight. Boy, was I wrong. He still whooped my ass. He has that raging superhuman strength and I don't think I could take him even to this day. But I don't need to because that incident gave me the utmost respect for him. Now that I think back about the years, there were so many times when he got in people's faces that were giving him shit and every time the other person backed down, even if they were taller and bigger than him.
^^^with the hole in the middle for less wind resistance. That or whatever was closest that would leave a mark. Got hit with the broom handle a few times too
Naw my dad was cool as fuck... I can't count the many times he paid for my fines for fuckin up the neighbors shit or even breakin his shit... I did my dad hella wrong and he let me get away with it probably cuz his dad was so hard on him I dunno...
But what I do know is I'd never let my kid (if I ever have a kid) do what I did... I was a lil punk at one point and needed my ass whooped
