any of you ever get a good whippin? whats your take on whacking?

Re: any of you ever get a good whippin'? whats your take on wacking?

Anyone ever get to that point in your tough teenage life where you just new you could take the old man? I was 19, very cocky and had really never lost a good brawl. One I decided to tell the old man to "go-blank-himself"...so he walked on over to the garage door and he shut it, so I couldn't escape. I got hit so many times so fast I didn't know my butt from my head. When it was over my dad said, "just remember, there will always be someone meaner and tougher". Now, I gotta tell you, I really got my assed kicked that day, bloody nose, bleeding lip, a goose-egg over my eye. Mom told me a few hours later that dad was a gold glove boxer in the military. :laughing7: But, I always carried that advice with me and still do today. It hurt, both physically and my pride, but it was a fantastic lesson that I really needed to learn in just that way. And, it helped me to understand and to respect my father a whole lot better.

Friday afternoons were the worst times of my childhood. My Dad drove a truck and was gone from Sunday night 'til Friday and Mom always filled him in on a weeks worth trouble that I caused. I am the youngest of 8 kids and I wasn't around for this but when the 6 oldest kids were all living at home they said Dad would tell them all to line up and spank 'em all. When the older ones protested that they "didn't do anything" his philosophy was that they should have kept the younger ones out of trouble. I remember a lot of spankings but no beatings, my Dad is 83 now and I have nothing but respect for him, he helped raise 8 kids on one income and we all turned out pretty good. My girls are 14 and 15 now and they too got their share of spankings. They have turned out to be very respectful, loving young ladies that I am extremely proud of. I don't have to worry about them too much because I believe they know right from wrong.

Well my discipline wasn't ordinary by any means, speaker wire across the back, burning, etc... my dad was abused when he was little in Germany so let's just say, it carried over. When I hear a normal spanking is abuse, I think to myself, then people don't know what true abuse is. Of course spanking can go to far too but for the most part, I see a lot of kids that could use one these days. That aside, my kids usually get grounded, once in a while they would get a spanking and that was only when they needed it. I call it the "tune up" due to when groundings didn't seem to work any more. Even at that, they never were in serious trouble but more of when they were younger and could have gotten hurt doing something.

Never that I'm aware of.

Violence teaches Violence

Never would beat a kid Either
 

Re: any of you ever get a good whippin'? whats your take on wacking?

ya i haven't had to spank them since they were real young... and i had to be the one to break the cycle of abuse.
it's weird how you can only teach what you know, what made you listen
my wife never really got whooped and she came out pretty good behaved.
as you might of expected we were poor... i wonder if poverty has anything to do with it?
times they are a changing
 

Re: any of you ever get a good whippin'? whats your take on wacking?

I spanked my two sons, thank heaven! They are both exceptional, productive young men now who know right from wrong. And even more important......they know the meaning of "respect others", and it shows.
 

Re: any of you ever get a good whippin'? whats your take on whacking?

it's a hard world of in which most folks are unsure of what to do.
they want their children to be trained correctly, and most will take whatever means necessary to see that it's done that way.
most feel when their children do not listen, or they misbehave, it reflects their (the parents) ability to teach.
also most realize that whackings are what made them listen (wether it was right or wrong) so they think it should work for their children.

it's a vicious cycle of struggle....all i can say is if your whacking to hard..... take it easy

if your getting whacked hang in there tell the person that's whacking you that you love them and please don't whack so hard, they are only doing it out of ??,
but they probably don't mean to.

if your not whacking at all (someones gotta keep a level of control) then toughen up.

some of us may have a deep dark past.. well you gotta tell someone some time

Re: any of you ever get a good whippin'? whats your take on whacking?

When I was in the 6th grade I had gotten some new glasses and they affected my depth perception. I was in the kitchen pouring a glass of Kool-aid and when I poured the drink it hit the edge of the cup and tipped it over spilling all over the counter. My mom was in the living room and could see into the kitchen. She snapped at me to clean it up because she had just finished cleaning the kitchen. There were four of us kids and we kept her pretty busy cleaning. Anyway, I didn't like being told to clean up, which I intended to do. So, being the big, tough sixth grader I was, I stepped over to where she could not see me after I had cleaned up my mess and shot her the bird. My legs turned to noodles when I heard my dad yell my name from the other end of the hallway!!! I failed to realize he was rounding the corner at the moment I shot her the bird.

He told me to go upstairs and get him a belt. He said it better be a good one because if he had to get one himself the spanking would be worse. I took a good long time picking the belt because I wanted to be sure I got the "right" one, otherwise known as delaying the spanking I was going to get.

Before my dad dealt with me he made me go to my mom and apologize for what I did. That hurt me worse than any spanking I ever got. I knew how hard my mom worked to take care of us and it killed me to know that she knew I shot her the bird. Then my dad marched me upstairs telling me how disrespectful I had been and that it better never happen again. I got a whack on each of the stairs on the way up and I was put on restriction for a short time. I felt so bad for doing it I never even asked for time off for good behavior or anything. I knew I deserved it. To this day I still feel bad that I did that.

Normally we would have been whipped with a switch that we had to go get off the tree ourselves and strip the leaves off. We were told to get a good one because he didn't want some wimpy little switch. It felt like ants biting for a short time after getting whacked, but never left any lasting harm. It did cause us to think about the consequences of our actions.

Our dad also told us he loved us often and gave us many long talks when it came to us doing something that was really bad or would cause us problems in life if left unchecked. I would have honestly chosen the short, painful route of a spanking to some of those talks that caused me to do some soul searching. In the end I think he did the exact right thing for us as kids and we all love him very much and respect him as a father. If my kids can grow up to think the same about me as I think about my father then I will have done good.

There is a direct connection from the bottom to the brain.

Re: any of you ever get a good whippin'? whats your take on whacking?

people saw us get our rumps beat and they used to get us off to the side and ask are you guys alright ,we always said yes
a lot of times we wish we can take back what we've done or had done to us... but i guess no crying over spilled milk.
my parents are basically on their death beds, and i appreciate all they have done and wish i had there presence for ever.
they never had nothing and now their all alone in their rotted house just waiting.....
i'd be willing to take many whippings to have them back.......
 

Re: any of you ever get a good whippin'? whats your take on whacking?

these are good stories ...it's good to know that it wasn't all just madness in a singled out past
 

Re: any of you ever get a good whippin'? whats your take on whacking?

When I did have to spank my kids, and not very often, we always had a rule, if you can't do it with your hand, don't spank at all, albeit a personal rule but one we stick to. Anther thing as I think I saw mentioned, you have to talk to your kids as well, I see some parents load off beating the tar out of their behinds yet they won't explain what happened and why. There is a difference between a disciplinary spanking and simply getting mad and spanking the bajeebers out of your kid because you are angry with them. My sons have gotten maybe 4 spankings each in their life, all for good reasons and heart to heart talk after and only because they wouldn't listen to reason prior, my daughter none that I recall, all I have to do is raise my voice a bit and give a look and she listens. Very big difference in children as I suspect it is with everyone. Some may never need that spanking, others, yes. Every child is different. Perhaps not even a spanking but discipline in general has declined to where young kids are running the show while the adults are taking hits for their actions.

I'm sorry but spanking or not, discipline "not abuse" needs to be up to the parent, not people or governments who don't like discipline or spankings or yelling, they are not raising our kids, we are, they don't know them, we do, they aren't there to take care of them when they are sick, make sure they are fed, make sure they get an education and sure aren't there when they need discipline, we are.
