Did your parents ever hit you?

LilyAnna80 · 18/01/13 - 20:24

Mine did - and it never did me any lasting harm. A short, sharp slap on the legs taught me a lot more than anything else.

tortfeasor · 18/01/13 - 20:26

Yes, and as I've said before they should have probably done it more frequently too. I think I was a little sh*t when I was growing up at times although me Ma says otherwise. I didn't really do anything that naughty but compared to some of my friends at the time, I got away with so much.

Caldari · 18/01/13 - 20:27

Yes, as did my teachers.

[Deleted User] · 18/01/13 - 20:29

i got the belt

[Deleted User] · 18/01/13 - 20:31

I remember being smacked just once by my dad when he got really angry because I was playing up, I learnt from it and it had no negative effects

[Deleted User] · 18/01/13 - 20:32

They smacked me. I understand why and I am grateful now actually. Every smack was well earned!:D

edit>>>> is it well earnt or earned? Maybe they should have smacked me for not concentrating in English class!

Almost daily by my dad, He always got violent when he'd been to the pub and often got violent if he couldn't go to the pub, He'd hit my mum afterwards most times for sticking up for me.

I had a wooden blackboard chalk 'eraser' cobbed at my head once! :eek:
I told my dad about it and he clipped round the earhole!

No lasting damage done.
*cackle cackle*

There was always the threat of it, but as I recall they never actually did it.

21stCenturyBoy · 18/01/13 - 20:34

Once or twice, but only ever on the back of the leg and it never hurt.

They stopped when, after slapping my 6 year old leg, I turned to my dad and said "you can smack me all you like I'm not bothered".

I cultivated an attitude early on in life!

Did you give him a good hiding when you got older?

stud u like · 18/01/13 - 20:35

My teachers hit me. One time I got slapped around the face.

Andrue · 18/01/13 - 20:38

I got smacked occasionally but not often. They were fairly strict by today's standards and I appreciate that. They gave me a lot of freedom but if they told me to do something I was expected to do it and if I did wrong I'd likely get some form of punishment for it (rarely physical though).

My Mathematics Master, Mr 'Hardrock' Martin, was a marksman with those things. He could turn, throw it and hit you from a good 30' away. It was scary.

scotch · 18/01/13 - 20:38

My mums favourite was to throw a slipper at me, she wasn't a good aim thankfully. She'd actually say 'come here till I hit you' lol.

Myu dad belted me a few times.

The most thrashings i got were from teachers, standing in front of the class.

Yes when I was 14 I got the better of him, He never raised another hand to me and it was a long time before he tried it on my mum again (she by then had the confidence to hit him back with a large wok

)

Lou Kelly · 18/01/13 - 20:39

Mum, yes. Dad, never.

Teachers did too.

HaloJoe · 18/01/13 - 20:40

My dad use to thrash me from time to time, he WAS a major pr*ck back then. I get on with him now though but you never forget!

kookiethekat · 18/01/13 - 20:41

Yes and it was always either a slap around the face (once in a supermarket, where she was confronted by someone who told her she doesn't deserve kids) or a clip round the head

I used think my mum saying that was crazy. I was like - nah you stay there and I'll stay here thank you very much.

molliepops · 18/01/13 - 20:41

Yes and although it was deserved and did me no harm it's not something I like to see these days , the idea of my little gand niece being smacked makes me want to hit who ever touched her. We now use other less violent methods which work better IMO.

[Deleted User] · 18/01/13 - 20:42

Mum yes, Dad no,

My grandparents hit me a lot more though.

Aw thats good to hear. I bet he got the shock of his life at getting wok'd.

My mum thought she'd killed him as he was out cold for ten minutes and she came back in and he was gone, He packed all his clothes and left that day, So I'd say so

He isn't so bad these days a totally different person, He's even quit the drink but his problems ruined large chunks of other peoples lives.

Muze · 18/01/13 - 20:46

Yes, sort of, and I am a screw up but might just be coincidence

Ours was Mr. Walley. Rumour was he had a metal plate in his head! :eek:
One day he missed his aim at someone. The duster smashed through the window and ended up in the playground!

Hey there!
