So true

My Dad would give us boys a whoopin' when we needed it. We're better men for it.

This subject has been on here before and lots would chime in that they were against spankins. Not me, I found it to build character and respect. It wasn't meant to hurt but give you some sort of punishment you didn't want or thought embarrassing.
If you really messed up Dad would call one of us boys to go make a switch for the other ones whoopin'. Thick cut switch you wouldn't even feel but a thin cut switch........ This taught you to get along with your brothers!

love it!

I never got a Spanking that I didn't deserve.

Very cool sign

Same here Scott. I swear my old man's hands had 1/2" calluses and as big as a tennis racket!

Chucking as I think of the local news broadcast from Rice Lake WI schools protesting that parents should be notified if a student wants a name - gender change etc.

Got my fair share growing up, lol.

My best childhood friend spent the night one and as we woke up my mom told us both to stand in the corner while she made breakfast. My friend asked what we had done and I told him it was better than the switch and just shut up. Her reply, “It’s not for what you’ve done, it’s for what you’re going to do and I ain’t gonna catch you doing it.” We laugh about that to this day!

My children also got their fair share, but I don’t think I whipped as hard as I got whipped. One evening they decided to see which one could take the most “hits” with my duck strap. It started off innocent enough and quickly escalated. I ended up calling my buddy who’s a Deputy and had him come witness the “game” cause they were leaving some serious marks. He showed up and they eventually drew blood with neither of them giving up. I finally called it a draw and told them they’d be wearing jeans for the next couple of weeks. They still argue to this day who actually won the “contest.” My buddy took a video just incase anything was ever said about it.

I was laying across my bed one night and my youngest was in there taking with his mom. I had laid the next days uniform out and put my belt on top of my clothes. My wife, being funny, told my son she’d give him $100 if he took that belt and hit me across the behind with it. He told me he’d split it with me if I agreed. For some reason I said sure, but I knew he’d never follow through with it. Well I’m watching him through the mirror on the dresser and saw him get the belt. I told him he better really think about it and he said he did. It was like watching something in slow motion as I saw him jump up while slinging that belt over his head and coming down with it. The crack is what I remember the most, then this searing pain across my backside! I immediately put my hand back there (stupid me was in skivvies) and felt this 2” wide lump from one cheek to the other! Before I could even react he threw the belt and ran away screaming 50/50 YOU SAID SURE 50/50!!! All I could do other than holding my backside was tell his momma she better have $100 in 20’s and 10’s cause I was getting $50 after that!! Now keep in mind this is the same son, who at 12 years old asked his mom if he and his friend could take her car to the store? She said, “Yeah, ok” The same sarcasm was lost on him then as well when my neighbor called and said it’s none of his business but he passed Zach and his friend in the wife’s car!!! When he got home, his momma used that same duck strap and after 3 licks he was screaming like someone had shot him!

I wish that were the case.

Never got a spanking that I can remember, never needed one either though, always have gotten good grades in school, always respected others, and did what I was told.

I ran into one of my old teachers at a funeral the other day. I went over and sat down by him and said” You paddled me in 1976 and I want to talk about it”. He didn’t recognize me with a gray beard. We chatted a while until I gave him enough clues to figure it out. Then he looked at me and asked if I deserved it or not. I assured him I deserved it. That’s a problem with schools now.

I see this topic on facebook often and really dis like it.

I got BEAT with a belt for sometimes nothing

Beatings and spankings are different.....I got BEAT......did i deserve spanked yes.....beatings to being knocked silly...no

That's the problem is kids that were abused did not deserve it no matter what they do. But a spanking is what teaches a child that things you do that are wrong come with repercussions. I was a well mischievous little kid not mean kid but I was always going to far in school and at home. I moved back to the county where I grew up in the end of 03. That next year I was at the county fair and ran into my elementary school principaland he told my mom and dad that he believed he paddled me more than any other kid in his time in the school system. Life is hard at times and a little direction is good even if it stings a little.

Awesome
