The oddest thing(s) you were disciplined with?

[MellowDrama]

Me:

Slippers

Broom

:(

[SunWuKong]

it's always consistently been the coat hanger with my parents.

[amietron]

a big wooden rice scooper with my name engraved in it.

among the other things- hangers, brooms, anything they could set their hands on.

my dad was always big on using his leather belts. bastard.

My brother got one of those. A plastic one, and I think I remember my pops breakin' it over his ass.

[iris]

Whatever was close at hand, so I guess: mah-jong sticks, coat hangers, fly swatters, belts, feather dusters (and not the feather end), chopsticks (the best b/c they always broke quickly), a hand, angry words, also a slipper, and I swear...a pair of pants - damn those zippers hurt.

metallic ones for me and my sister. but they spoiled my sister and they pretty much stopped with her when she was like 4 or 5.

[lethal]

fistfull of chopsticks, bamboo feather duster, slippers, belt...just the normal stuff...

[iris]

Hah. I love how we see beating your kids as a "normal," part of growing up.

[AltimaGTR]

True that, I am soo gonna use a leather belt on my kids; it gives them "character" and they need to suffer the same discipline as I did.

well asian parents generally love their kids more than non-asian parents love their kids. that's why they beat us. makes perfect sense to me! when i have kids i'm gonna kick their asses.

Love your kids? Prove it by beating them. (http://maddox.xmission.com/beat.html)

yeah i think we're just joking around. i mean there's beating and then there's beating. i have friends that took their parents to court. we're talking about being punched in the eye and stuff like that. honestly i have no idea how i'm going to discipline my future kids or whether or not i'll even have kids.

[Craig]

Anybody here ever had a gun pointed to the head by any of their parental units ?

[karizma]

chased around with this huge ass butcher knife...

gramma was a sav....she grabbed my leg when i was runnin from her i fell face first onto the pavement and got this nasty bloody nose.

got hit with rice cooker pots the silver part you take out to wash the rice in first...

chased with a pink kiddy chair [ wtf?! ]...

feather dusters...glass jars tossed at me...

was threatened with a whip...why we even had it in the first place is beyond me

umm..thats all i can think of but theres probably more...this was all when i was around 6 er 7 =P

[tvbdude]

mostly coat hangers

[wylin]

my dad used to have a bamboo plant just for the explicit purpose of making wooden wacking sticks the biggest i been wacked w/ is out 2.5' in diameter and about 5' long and weight bout 30lb. fun stuff

[Napoleon Chynamite]

Yea also they were smart enough to remember that the thing can't be too big around or heavy otherwise the velocity of the descending blow cannot be maximized thereby the impact and stinging effect can also not be maximized

[Chris]

my was those wirey bamboo sticks. they hurt like hell.

[artsfartsyjanet]

my mom tried to threaten me with a pointy big knife around the kitchen of the restaurant when i was little. she used to slap my hands a lot, but i got used to that kind of pain and only treated it as a "high five." She's spanked me with a metal stick that holds down the customer's orders from blowing away from the wind. My dad has hit me on the back of my head pretty hard for something i can't even remember. When i was 19, yes 19, my mom slapped me in the face b/c i went out with a white guy. she slapped me while my 8 year old brother was in the car. quite embarrassing. so, i shoved my mom in the car and told her never to slap me again. Um... I've been spanked by wooden back scratchers too. Goodness, how the hell did I make it this far in life? heheh

[Hanuman]

I've gotten beat with pots and pans, spatulas, the metal extension from the vacuum cleaner, branches from the front lawn, but the worse is just a good tightly clenched fist. That really sucked. My parents must have really loved me!

[Adaon]

hmmmm.....there isn't much around the house that I didn't get smacked with.....i once had my own teddy bear turned on me and one of the eyes popped off after Pops went buck wild beating me over the head with it.....
weirdest item would prolly have to be......a power cord from a computer....

[iris]

Oh man, Adaon. You brought up a repressed memory. Damn dood.

When I was little, my sis and I were playing with our cherished barbies when my mom flipped out about the state of our room. She reached over and ripped the heads off the barbie dolls and then smacked us with the decapitated bodies. I haven't touched a barbie since.

[BaiginLong]

hmm mostly wooden backscratchers for me heh
*ouchies*

[kayla]

hahha. oh man. so much damn beating. my mom chased after me with those feather dusters before. those things hurt like hell. i either run for the blankets when she comes after me with it or if i know i did something bad, i usually hide it beforehand. but punishment was usually a lecture and then standing still until an entire inscense was burnt out so i can "think about what i did wrong".

[contra_diction]

wasn't loaded, but yeah. i climbed over an electric fence with a couple of friends, it was raining, and we got lucky the fence wasn't on. anyway, we we're back in this area touching things and setting off alarms inside the building (on accident). the cops came back there with a dog. my dad asked me if i wanted to die doing something stupid like that, and thus the gun for emphasis. man oh man.

[iris]

Y'all know that if you run, the punishment is worse yeah? I got that after the first couple chases. My mom used to be a track star in Taiwan. My daddums stays out of it because:

Scenario: Kids running away from mum, hides behind dad. Mother goes, "you want to stand up for them? Fine! You can take their punishment instead!" *smack smack*

Daddy learns fast too.

[contra_diction]

ye that's true, huh, haha! i remember got chased up a tree by grandpa holding the belt. i stayed up there for a while, but needless to say, i had to get down sometime.... *rubbing arse*

[kayla]

lol! chased up a tree?! eesh! i usually just run to my room and lock the door. i stubbed my toe once while running away.

[contra_diction]

she caught you when you were stubbed, didn't she. & then
~unleash ass-whuppin!!~

almost got ran over by grandpa one time too, he was so angry, but pulled the bike off into the ditch. he probably didn't want to mess up his truck.

[kayla]

hahaha. hell yes. but she only hit me lightly like once or twice after i stubbed my toe. i screamed a lot just to show her how much pain i was in so she shoudl would stop. but my mom stopped disciplining me that way around age 8.
i'm the first child so my sister was never hit. lucky her. i was the guinea pig. if i turned out to be screwed up child, they always have the second child.

man. your grandpa was aggressive! i probably wouldve peed in my pants everytime i saw him if he were to be my grandpa.

[contra_diction]

:lol: i lub u, grampa :luv:

[thaite]

Belt, chopstick, electical cord, rice paddle, wooden spoons, bamboo stick, broomstick, shoe, sandal, hand, chair, feather duster, clothes hanger, backscratcher, feather duster, fly swatter, pestle... you name it, I got hit by it.

[SunWuKong]

for some reason i wasn't allowed to cry while i was being hit. they'd tell me to stop crying. the more and harder i cry, the harder and more i'd get hit. after a while i didn't react at all when they hit me. i think that's why they stopped. :P

yeah. the louder i screamed, the longer and more they "disciplined."

[537]

Here I thought I was the only one.

I've been 'disciplined' with:

Wooden rulers (which broke)
Bitchslaps (which gave me a few bloody noses)
Umbrella

A few other things that created memories which I have repressed.....

:cry:

[VV o n g B a]

i was hit by all the apparently standard stuff mentioned. as time went on, i started planning out what i was going to do. i started by locking my door. my mom would pick the lock and force her way in b/c i was physically blocking it. then i'd hide in the closet. then i'd lock all the doors in the house and hide in a random closet. that was the best b/c by the time she found me usually a bit of her anger had worn off.

[pfc beansprout]

mostly feather dusters we bought from chinatown..man, i used to hide those as soon as they got new ones...heh...chopsticks to hit me on the hands, and coupla times, "go outside and get a stick"...uhh, that sucked...pick your poison.......

[applehead]

I thought only Black's used anything to spank their kids. I remember my dad came home and almost broke his neck on a Hot Wheel set! I tell you, he swung that orange plastic track wack'in any and everything that moved. Like Jet Li in when he does that belt thing! My brother's could sit for weeks!

Me? I would get spanked with the fly swatter, plastic flip-flops, plastic spoons from my mom. Dad was a push over, all I had to do was blink my big brown eyes and cry. :(

Oh, yeah, I can't forget the many hours-long lectures.

One time my mom accused us of something, but she didn't know which of us did it. So she lined the three of us up and asked "Did you do it?" Reply, "No." Response, "SMACK!" and then go to the next. She did this for two hours, until my brother admitted he did it. But he was lying, he didn't do it. None of us did. It was my dad.

Later on, when we got smart(er) we'd get all the wooden spoons and whatever and pre-break them, just cracking them enough that they be usable, but would break the first couple times we got hit.

hiding is the way to go.

i was also disciplined with Home Depot paint stirers.

but i'm sure there was always a legitimate reason for your punishment. your parents cant just hit you out of nowhere.

*drinking soup* *wack!*
*yawning* *wack!*
*smirking* *wack, wack!* double wack just because you look suspicious.

[Hanuman]

My mom, that tiny lady could sure pack a wallop. I remember getting in trouble for dropping water bombs on the superintendent once that rat squealed on us and told my mom. She gave my brother and I an ass whooping. Then when we thought it was all done, she ended it with. Wait 'till your dad gets home. The waiting for him to get home was worse then the actual beating.

[rakovlam]

feather duster, chopstick, ruler... metal ruler, and long shoe horn.

[rakovlam]

anyone who saw My Sassy Girl: Remember the part where Guan Yu was talking about his mom? I beleive he said his mom beats him with whatever is on her hand. Then one day he sees a pair of knives and he runs.

Damn. I should've done that. I was too stupid and just stood there feeling the pain of feather dusters. Although, I've had quite a few chopsticks broken on me....

If I didn't read the thread title and I just glanced at some of the words in each post I woulda thought it was like the S&M Sharing Hour or sumthin :P

[contra_diction]

applehead, you were just a good girl, huh.
i remember if i was getting spanked, i had the bad misconception that if i cried, my parents would think they we're doing their job, and that they'd gotten the message across.... i learned quickly how wrong i was.

[kayla]

my mom stops once i cry. i think its a bit painful to see your kids in pain. even if its "discipline". at least i would feel bad/guilty.

[moschikat]

never been hit.

only given the evil eye. or the silent treatment.

I never knew the term child abuse until I was out of the house.

My parents could never understand why we would laugh when the belt was applied. (Socks underneath to protect the buttocks.) To this day, it still makes me laugh just thinking about it.

That and how a five foot mamma could sky to konk us on the head. :lol:

[Green_Circle]

Not sure if this should be a new thread but, these days all the psychologists and shrinks maintain that this sort of child corporal punishment leads to antisocial, violent and psychotic behavior as adults. We as little people, have customarily grown up on the receiving end of violence by our own folks. Have any of you good people felt like taking out a section of the populace or abusing people or accept violence because of the regular beatings? In your psyche, how has it manifested if at all, in your actions or behavior? Do you feel the urge toward violence as an effective tool in certain situations?

[sOKaLiBoY]

my mom only hit me a couple of times in my life. most of the time she just yelled at me....and quite often i must say :P . the oddest time was probably when she wouldn't let me eat for most of the day. man was i hungry at the end

[coagulated fat]

I'm spoiled I guess... I've only been REALLY hit once, and that was with hands.&nbsp; But it's even because I hit my mom.&nbsp; Self defense!

[nonamerasian]

I think the only way I'd get my parents to chase me with a knife, hit me with a cane, or any of some of the other stuff in these corporal punishment threads would be to throw the first punch.

I don't think I can complain about my upbringing anymore.&nbsp; I guess I was spoiled, or just lucky, too.

[himura-dono]

as far as blunt objects: cutting board, bat, cleets (well, kinda dull.), tire iron, tv, plumbing snake (at least it was clean and i had juct bought it).

sharp objects: miracle blade steak knife, miracle blade cutting knife, broken window shard, bbq fork.

[nonamerasian]

This thread has brought back memories that I didn't know existed.

I still can't remember being hit with anything weird, though.

I was hit with ruler-type of implements on my hands, hit with belts and buckles across my back and ass, and hit with electrical cords just about everywhere else.

I've been chased by shoes, but I can't remember being hit by one, and I have been knocked about by a pillow or two a few times.

Now I have to go back to repressing these memories before I need therapy. ;)

[teaz0r]

ben franklin.

[DragonKnight]

Plastic baseball bat
Power cord

[Emperor_Mike]

:blink:

OMG! This is horrific! My parents never beat us! Instead, they'd lock us away in the far part of the house where no one frequented and left us there for an entire day (sometimes two but with food, of course. They're parents, not negligent monsters!) When you're five years old it's pretty damn frightening to be imprisoned in some old bedroom and having to spend the night there alone. :(

[tapestrybabe]

there have been only a few instances where i got a spanking... just with the hand tho... but yeah, other forms of punishment i would receive... my parents would ground me... or sometimes... they would tell me to sit in a corner with my face towards the wall... and remain there... until i was told i could get up...&nbsp;

[IIBountyHunterII]

My dad was HUGE on the leather belts...and those across the back or whatever hurts!&nbsp; My mom hit me with a wooden spoon and broke it in half once...and my dad was cleaning his car, and I made some comment he didn't like and hit me with the spray nozzle on the end of the hose!&nbsp; That hurt the most, I think!&nbsp; :P

[nonamerasian]

but i'm sure there was always a legitimate reason for your punishment. your parents cant just hit you out of nowhere.

*drinking soup* *wack!*
*yawning* *wack!*
*smirking* *wack, wack!* double wack just because you look suspicious.

It didn't always feel like it.

You couldn't tell me you were gonna hit me before hand because I'd sprint, so I guess silent stealth was needed. :rolleyes:

Sometimes I would just be sitting eating or whatever, just minding my business, and then *smack*. There would be yelling, but it was usually for me to stop running, not an explaination of why I was hit.

Especially if it was my mom, there were times I'd have to practically beg to find out why. (After I finished running about, of course.)

a ruler

basically i had gotten up in kindergarten to play with some toys when i shouldnt of and they told my parents and my dad hit my hand with a ruler

oh boy, what a punishment for the time

to this day i duno if the punishment fit the crime, i spose it helped keep me in line but i duno if it was 100% necessary

[Hiroshi2]

^ Yeah I got a ruler in kindegarten and 1st grade too.



The really bad kids got a paddle, it was wooden and the principal would smack you on the ass three times if they sent you to the office to get paddled.

[BeTheReds]

I didn't get beat much.

It was always the threat of "no allowance" or "go to your room for 30 minutes" or "I'm gonna sell your nintendo games".

That was enough for me.

Well, this was when I was about 5 or 6 years old, which means it was around 1993-ish. Back then, we actually said grace before going to lunch (public schools, keep in mind). Now you didn't *have* to pray. But everybody did anyway.



I don't know if they still do that now.........................they don't do it at my school but I figured that's because I'm in high school now................now they'll just send you home, expel you, send you to alertnative school, or if you start up a fight, arrest you (which they've done several times this year, most of the time it was girls who got arrested, surprisingly).

[nonamerasian]

Some schools still do that crap.

[Hiroshi2]

I'd laugh if somebody got paddled now, LOL.

[moJo]

just their hands. spankings and slaps. and being shoved out the door.
most of that stopped before middle school, i think, because my parents found out what 'child abuse' meant, learned a lil about child psychology and the legal system.
thereafter, it was mostly guilttripping, lecturing, and yelling (pounding the table for effect).

[PropellerheadCP]

... hand, feather duster, wallet, purse, coat hangers, slippers, rulers (wooden and metal), leather belts, bamboo sticks... etc...

I was beaten so much that by the time I was 9, I could just stand there and take it, because I could barely feel the pain.
By 10 years old, I punched the fridge and put a small dent in it, because I was so pissed off with my mother beating me for everything. She stopped. Then my parents took me out of taekwondo.

See, people would usually think it's my father who used to beat me, but he never laid a hand on me (except for once, when I said something really bad and he lightly tapped me on the cheek). It was my mother who beat the crap out of me.
