Parental discipline and corporal punishment comes up here from time to time and I remember the subject being nearly flogged to death each time.
My Mom's favored method was to make me go out and cut a willow switch and bring it to her. If I brought her one too small, she would make me get a bigger one. The ritual was always a worse mindfuk than the actual beating.
She told us stories of her father taking an older brother out to the barn to be 'thrashed'. The other siblings would cower in the house as screams of agony rang out. No doubt they were always on their best behavior after such a demonstration of fatherly wrath.
My Dad was an ass-kicker. Thankfully, getting a boot up my butt was pretty rare. The last time was as a teen when I grabbed his foot and yanked up, nearly knocking him off his feet and that ended that.
I never stuck my daughter once her whole life. I only hit my son once when he was 3 and I think I was more horrified than he so I resolved never to do it again.
They have both turned out great, in many ways arguably better than their dad.
So how did you guys get hit?
And what are your views on CP?
