Whack to the arse

Murrayboy

Remember the days when your da could take the belt to you and your ma could give you a clatter with the wooden spoon and no one would bat an eye.

Have we gone to soft on kids these days and is there ever any justification for an ole fashioned whack to the arse

I thought this was going to be about a folk song from the Dubliners: I could hear the chorus "whack to the arse...something something O". Or maybe an incident at the photocopier at work. Instead it's about why cant we half murder children like we used to.
Sigh.
All together now: "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end..."

Quick away to the doctor for an ADHD diagnosis and lace them with drugs.

Ah now I don't think ADHD is a wishy washy made up thing. I think it's the real deal for a lot of families. It's just a lot of people jump on the band wagon and use it as an excuse

Bring back the Christian Brothers and the more ignorant society they need to allow their sterling methods to thrive! I agree!

I blame everyone thinking they are allergic to gluten.

In all honesty I used to think it was an excuse for parents with badly behaved kids but as I got to know a few people with ADHD I've come to realise it's a very real thing. I hear people saying that it's a "new" thing; perhaps the diagnosis is but I genuinely think a lot of older people who would be described as "characters" or eccentric could well be undiagnosed.

I think I'd have to agree with that. I don't think all the messers who got in trouble years ago at school were bad apples. Some may have been but a lot may have had ADHD

Sorry, I meant to say, yes in some cases it very likely is, but not in all.

It never did me any harm.

Ha only joking I don't think I was ever hit with a wooden spoon or belt but just wanted to say that phrase, it always gets trotted out when this comes up.

Ha I'd have to say I got the lot, wooden spoon, leather belt, slipper. I was a right little ****e. In all honesty I don't think it did me any harm

It didn't do you any harm.... except causing you to think it is ok to beat a child.

I thought this was going to be a thread about smacking women on the arse!

Pfft, I'm disappointed OP, disappointed...

Widdershins

Usually the kids who were hit, used to do the same sort of stuff again and again anyway. It obviously didn't work!

The OP was that child. I'll take their word over yours.

I don't ever remember saying I thought it was ok to beat a child. Just that it did me no harm

Ohbethehokey

Lol, no harm in beating and drugging children so the parents can have a quiet life...

...next you'll be drinking new Zealand wine and eating tapas

Seeing the OP has to post on Boards about it. It probably gave him issues.

Doesn't seem to have worked, if you continued to be a "right little ****e".
