Spanking

amywise9

I got slapped by my parents up to about 12 years of age, it was always on the bum, never too hard. It was the actual humiliating of it that hurt me more than the pain!!!
But it didn't do me any harm and was ony administered if I was cheeky.
My mam always threatened me with the wooden spoon or washing my mouth out with soap and water.
An ex gf got spanked by her mother up to 18. Yes it is true. On the bum but also across the face if she was cheeky. I witnessed on such incident and grabbed her mother's arm as she attempted to slap her a second time.
I agree that parents should discipline their children with a smack if necessary.
But they should never abuse their children with a hard spanking.
Many parents don't really have any interest in their kids these days and therefore their children have no discipline.
But that's not their fault, it is the fault of the parents.

I would get a slap on the arse or on the back of the leg if I was misbehaving.

I always got one warning, if I chose to act the maggot then I got a slap.

Physical discipline isn't necessarily wrong, as long as it's controlled. There is a big difference between physically disciplining your child and physical abuse.

I was often beaten as a child and I can honestly say that other than the occasional headache and mild double vision it's had no effect on me what-so-ever.

The wooden spoon was the most powerful weapon in any Irish Mammy's arsenal.

I don't get Vietnam-esque flashbacks from being smacked and understood why I'd get hit. Being a little shìt was why so I don't see why people are so horrified with physical discipline (Not to be confused with actually battering your child, that's just abuse beyond words)

stovelid

Yeah I was. In some ways, the received orthodoxy when I was a kid was almost that you had to smack kids for fear of them turning out bad. Now it seems to have swung in the other direction where even the thought of light smacking means a child will grow up brutalized and violent.

I would hardly ever do it to my kids (boys) and the odd time I have it would have just been a smack on the arse as a last resort.

That said, it's my right to do it if I please and I do find the hand-wringing that goes on about it a little OTT.

Belted while standing on tippy toes army style.

Shit. Didn't see that it was a zombie thread.

I think I was, one time only though. There was always a real threat of violence from the mammy, (she was, and still is) a ferocious character! but she never really acted on it. I knew to never test her though.

I think in some cases it is needed. My 21yr old cousin was always a little princess growing up. Her whole childhood was a case of being fawned over by my aunt and uncle and giving them endless lip and tantrums in return. Shes grown into a right cow that would go through ya for a shortcut, feckin vicious! Me mother always maintains thats where her parents went wrong, let her off with way too much and now they've created a monster.

Never too old for a batturin' I say!

..You'll get shanked and spanked and alley-ooped

I think its a bit too easy to hit a child out of anger or frustration, and justify it by calling it a punishment.
I don't want to loose my temper that way so I think I'd use other methods.
The best way is apparently to praise a child when their really good and refuse to acknowledge them when their bad as they crave attention, but you really need patience of a saint to do that.

I laughed before clicking this thread all i seen was spanking the bollox :pac::pac:

You're both clearly mental.

Darnit - was hoping this thread was about BDSM

Got hammered, belts and all. Didnt teach me a single thing. Doesnt work and is a bit twisted.

opinion guy

In my opinion the associated guilt trip that was laid down was far more damaging than the slaps themselves

KeithM89_old

Never got spanked (by my parents :pac:), usually got a good solid boot to the face if i was bold.

FlutterinBantam

Hmmm ..........bit disappointed with this thread.

Was out in Rathfarnham taking out the folks from work, The Orchard was the name of the place.

Hit on this cougar who, in fairness, after a few Malibu was 'up for it' , drippin' like a George Foreman grill.

She took to the Flutt big time, and took a ride in the chariot to a casa near the Yellow House.

Bitch has a set of spanks on her which were welded in .Tight as a worm's belt.

The effort wasn't worth it , despite the flapping of elastic I lost interest and fcuked off home.

Those fcuking Spanks should be banned.

Mint Sauce

I got a good slap the odd time into my teens. I really was a little bollocks at times.

Did me no harm at all.

Karona

Got threatened and hit by the wooden sppon a couple of times. I also got a slap on the bum if i was being bold.

My mother even went as far as packing my bags for the orphanage before i begged her to let me stay and that i would be good.

Dangerous Man

All you people now have sexual issues.

Physical discipline is outdated. It should be reserved for animals now.

Although it's necessary to draw a line between physical discipline and beating a child. A slap on the arse is not about hurting the child - but reaffirming they've done wrong. Kinds have the attention span of a squirrel with rabis ... a pat on the arse does the trick I guess.

Still not a fan though - but I'll admit there's nothing wrong with it (up to the age of 10 or 11 that is).

Talking to your kid and really giving them a wearing down with words is better. I was on the harsher end of the scale as a kid - didn't teach me diddly squat.

Slapping is just lazy parenting IMO.

I laughed so hard at this.

Very well written. I don't even care if it's true!

Did it do you any good though?

I have great memories or being chased by my mum with a wooden spoon around the house, the fun we used to have:rolleyes: She always ended up breaking the spoon off the kitchen counter in frustration when she couldn't catch me. My sister also has a imprint on a brush on her arm from childhood when my mum belted her with the brush. Didn't do us any harm, I think people are too PC nowadays. I don't hold it against my mum either, we were brats.

Its payback time.

thats the bigger issue tbh, people can say "never did me any harm" all they want, but did a slap on the arse prevent them from acting the bollocks ever again? did it hell. slapping is just lazy parenting, also kids being slapped for just being kids gets on my wick no end, if a child is being an outright little fcuker and you've exhausted other means of discipline then ok, a slap on the arse wont kill it, but chances are it wont stop it from doing it again either.

I remember being in Dunnes one day a few years ago and a kid, who couldnt have been more than 4 or 5 was standing next to his mother and staring at the sweet counter, he reached over to pick up a bar or something and accidentally knocked a small stack of chewing gum or something like that, he even went "uh oh" and the cashier laughed, but his bitch of a mother grabbed him and punched him, not slapped, punched him square in the back of the head and screamed at him to not do stuff like that. Everyone around was shocked as she dragged the poor little guy away while he was roaring crying and the cashier looked close to tears herself. people like that make me fcuking sick, you do not punch kids. Couldnt help but think if that "uh oh" was more of a "I'm going to get a battering for this" expression from him.

Ya the Irish mentality towards kids is pretty bad.
