+451 The absolute worst thing about being a child was having been sent to your room for misbehaving, and then you would have to dread the few minutes before your parents came in to give you a spanking, amirite?

GET THE WOODEN SPOON

i swear, i had spoon-shaped bruises on my butt.

Eh... No wooden spoon in my house. My parents either spank me with their hand, or most of the time a huge sports paddle. It seriously hurts!!!!

I got the belt once :( But the wooden spoon was definitely the favorite haha But anyway, the minutes by yourself in your room before they came up were the weirdest haha. You didn't know if you should do something productive or just sit on your bed and wait for them xD

Oh, and don't forget the tabasco sauce xD hahaha when we were REALLY bad, we'd get hit plus either tabasco or soap in our mouths =P haha My friend cursed in front of his mom once by accident, and she took the dishwasher soap and squeezed half the freaking bottle into his mouth! =O

That or having to stand in a corner for four hours without sitting, great cartoons and punishments are reminders of the 90s for me.

I had to stand in a corner for 2 1/2 hours once at my dad's house. They thought I said the word bitch when I tried to say pinch...I was like 7 and had now idea what they were talking about.

Yeah the waiting was pretty bad, but the sound of dad pulling his belt off... that was horrible. Hah I agree, when you're waiting for them to come you don't know if you should just sit there or if you should clean your room or something..

Wow. Never been spanked, hit, belted, spooned, whatever. Getting sent to my room and my own guilt was punishment enough

Now that would be considered child abuse.

Theres a huge difference between spanking and beating.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's not abuse. It's needed, actually. That's why some kids are bad as hell now. They don't get the discipline they deserve.

I got the belt. I've gotten spanked at least ONCE every year of my life, and usually only once a year. I blame myself tho, looking back I was a REALLY bad kid. I've been belt free for 4 years now though, yay! Kids need harsher discipline than they get now. My kids won't be spanked, but they won't be getting off anywhere near easy. Child abuse is beating a child just for the joy/satisfaction/releasing frustrations in a violent manner. Punishing a child is much different.

never did my parents ever spank or hit me, thank goodness. i dreaded the speech that came after i got sent to my room.

I've never been spanked, sent to my room, put in a corner, grounded, or anything like that. I've only gotten lectured. I guess that explains why my mom asked me, "How was it?", when I told her about the first time I smoked weed.
