Only once from my dad too, but my mom was a bit stricter. Yeah, you'd think it'd be the other way around. Don't know what went wrong with them.

Yes, thank God. My mother would chase us through the house with a belt, the buckle was removed. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I got some welts on my legs but never anything more serious than that.

Kids know how to press their mother's buttons and we did. Always loved my mother and it never hurt me. My father left the spanking to her.

Wait. You thank God your own mother hit you with a belt and left welts? And you think it's funny?

Whoa.

Did anyone see the study a few months ago that linked mental illness with being spanked as a kid. I don't know that I buy it, and I am not sure if I would spank my kids, don't have any. I think time out doesn't work for some kids.

I was and it didn't do one bit of good.
Instead of thinking about what I did wrong and what I did to "deserve" it, I would get so pissed off at being hit that I would go to my room and just be angry about the amount of pain I was in and the fact that she hit me.
All it did was made me hate her for it.

I don't plan on ever spanking my kids.

What? It never hurt me and I was my mother's baby, the youngest. I was spoiled really. I guess today's kids are hot house flowers. My mother lived to the old age of 97 and I took care of her for 7 years in my home. God I miss her since she died in '05.

Too bad, I did the same thing, felt sorry for myself. It ended with a hug and a kiss then "go outside and play." You have to grow up someday and forgive your parents, we all do. If you are a good person today then give your parents some pts.

Wow. WTF??
