Corporal punishment Poll

[Razgovory]

Inspired by a recent thread.   Just out of curiosity.  My parents did, but very rarely.  I wasn't one to cause a lot of problems and not past 10 at the very latest.  I mostly remember them mother spanking my brother.  He always got into trouble.  Still it didn't happen often, and not ever past the time he was out of elementary school.  I don't think it ever happened to my little sister.

And in classic form, I probably spelled something wrong but don't know it yet.  Ah well.

I lived in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

[Razgovory]

Oh so that was you in that tank.  I always wondered what the racket was.

[crazy canuck]

MIM got to eat the crust.  Luxury!  I would dream of getting the crust.

[Ed Anger]

One percenters.

Well WE had it tough. There were 150 of us in my family and we lived in a shoebox in the middle of the road. I had to get up out of it at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.

Yes.  Every day, my parents would check my school stationary.  If a pencil went missing, I would be spanked.

...same skit.

I'm curious if anyone here is serious.  The Poll results do show that several of you were physically punished in your younger years.

[Monoriu]

I am serious.

Edit: oh and, my parents don't belong to the 99%.  They can buy truckloads of pencils

[Sheilbh]

I was smacked as a child.  I think it's healthy, every kid should be slapped by their mum or dad at least once.  Otherwise they'll grow up like Martinus

[The Brain]

Of course I wasn't.

CP is great in a sexual context. Parents are not.
