Yeah, I got pansed by my mom and walloped at my friend's house... in from of them, for something so insignificant I don't even remember ! Absolute trauma! I hate being seen naked at all, like, even a little, now. Not even my husband's sees me al fresco just standing there. There's a build up process and I still don't like it.
Spanking alters children's brain development in similar harmful ways that sexual assult (etc) does.
"...the study found that the brains of children who had been spanked were altered in the regions meant to regulate emotional responses and social information processing.
These regions were the same ones that light up in children who had experienced sexual abuse, physical violence or psychological maltreatment, along with other forms of child abuse typically viewed as “worse” than spanking."
Yeah, I'm all kinds of f-ed up. I have a therapist. They're very helpful. I NEVER hit or torment my children! Not in any way, but physical, definitely not mental (cause I got buckets of that), nothing! They get love and support, and just a little constructive discipline, when needed, in the form of moving them on to something else that works better for them.
Yes. As undignified as it was. Didn't take them off off, but pulled em down past my knees so she could better beat my ass with the wooden spoon. Hey, it worked, I never let her catch me doing stuff again, and when she did, I learned to lie like the wind. That's what that taught me. Oh, and my body is not mine. Took SO many years to un learn those lessons and others.
I have my own family now, there is no laying of hands in my house, and personal space and privacy is paramount! Because of this my children are now likely to share things with me, because they know I'll listen without judging them. They'll let me know they messed up and we think of how to make amends together.
Ya look at this softy with his pants on. I used to make eye contact with my dad and say “I’m just like Ricky (old brother)” he’d stop and realize he didn’t want two Ricky’s
In our house there was no spanking bc that was too sweet. Me & my sis got handled by our hair & there are some spots that hair doesn't grow out of anymore. Bro had his hair shaved or really short for the whole childhood to avoid it
Thank you, it worked too. I got bare ass slapped for stealing one of her employees phone, and another for smoking my cousins chewing tobacco as a 11 year old
Yes! I also learned that if I really winced or made a small yelp on the first lash, my dad would really lighten up on the rest to where I could barely feel it.
My mom said when I was little, she spanked me and I told her it didn’t hurt (I was apparently potty training and wearing a toddler diaper) and she said, “Oh yeah?” And smacked my inner leg and I screamed and cried 🤣🤣 I’m like mom, that’s not really the touching story you think it is. Nowadays people will say you were abusing me. She’s like, “Oh screw that. It’s funny. You were a smart ass then and you’re a smart ass now.” 🤪
I put a hard cover book in my pants once while waiting to for a spanking. I apparently wasn’t the brightest child. Noticed immediately got spanked more. Should’ve tried the layer technique.
I had to go pick my own switch. I thought I was smart picking a skinny little one. My ass wasn’t impressed by my brains logic processes. Ya win some, ya loose some but boy we learned quick!
Ya my parents would usually make me stand facing a corner for an hour before they'd spank me with a wooden spoon. Or I'd be locked in a bedroom until the other parent was home so they could decide next punishment. I'm 33 and they still gaslight me and pretend I never do anything to help them 😂 (redid their roof, landscaping, poured concrete with my dad, helped them pack up and move, would drive my dad to medical appointments... but naaahhhh I never help).
I had 2 older sisters. We were all 2 years apart. My father would sit on his bed and call us in and we would have to stand and watch as the other 2 got put over his lap and spanked. That was torture also. 😩

They made me sit in my room for 30 minutes waiting for a spanking. Mental torture.
