A few times my mom would beat me with a leather strap and I mean its a good 1/2 inch thick. Then there was the belt phase and the wooden spoon phase and the plastic spoon that broke on me from slappin me so hard. Yes every time I was beaten i deserved it like one time i was 6 and pushed a girl over. Why? I dont know but all i know is my mom slapped my ass so hard that spoon broke then she got another because that one broke and that made her angrier. Or the time my sister started a fight with me and i hit her in the face all crazy. No bruises or broken noses or anything but my sis rubbed her nose hard and it bled a bit and my mom beat me with the ^ leather strap and left welts on my ass for a few days. Ill tell you without that id be a much different person

And I'll quote Denis Leary, too: "My Dad used to beat the shit out of me..."
My dad's favorite tool when I was young was this large 1 1/2" thick wood cutting board with a handle, for extra leverage. Let's just say that the impact velocity felt like it could put you through a wall.
I got 'disciplined' when I was younger and I think I'm better off for it. It taught me not to do whatever I was doing and to harden the fuck up, as a result I have a pretty high pain threshhold. I will probably do the same to my children.
since I'm of Indian descent, I think Russel Peters hit the nail with his "Somebody's gonna get hurt real bad" story. Indian culture I guess.
I don't really remember much but my dad & mum rarely slap me (or beat me, mind you) when I was in my pre-teens, mostly severe scolding. Most times because I wouldn't clean my room or just be an annoying kid and not listen to them.
After my teens, they told me that I'm old enough to know what I should and shouldn't be doing and let me be, occasionally scolding me for this or that reason but never slap me.
I turned out fine and somewhat respectable human being (in my personal opinion). And when I sometimes see how today's kid act with their parents, I feel somewhat grateful towards my parents for not letting me go out of control like that.
One interesting incident was when I was around 9-10, my dad was scolding me for some reason I can't remember and my 2 year old sister saw me in tears and just... bit my dad's leg =D.
Needless to say everyone calmed down and had a good laugh, including my father.

I used to get spanked, which I think taught me to be good.
However, I believe the British government, proving what a nanny state we are, has banned this.
No wonder the children nowadays are such little shits.

My Dad would get angry enough to scream and yell sometimes, but he was essentially harmless. However, I do remember several good swats on the bottom, and one mouth-cleaning by soap for swearing at a very young age. Know what? I have respect for it. I know better. All this hype that swatting your kid's hand being child abuse is crap. If the kid won't stop, sometimes they have to feel it.
There's a big difference between discipline and beating though. It's just that the US is getting so touchy-feely, no one seems to realize this anymore.

Yeah, whenever I acted like a little shit I'd get a smack. I think the last time was when I was six and I stole my babysitter's necklace. I was a good kid though, so I never really had to face a punishment unless I truly deserved it.
When I was <10 I got a slap on the arm/leg/ass if I got too far out of line. Once I was old enough to actually take on board what what was said to me they didn't have to do that any more because scolding me was enough.
Will I do it to my kids? Probably, but only if I know I can trust myself to only do it as a method of disciplining them and that I won't end up taking out my own issues on them. That said, if I was doubting that I'd be able to restrain myself from whaling on my kids, I wouldn't be having kids.

oh i got a goodddddd whoopin, i was one of those super loud kids who was so free spirited i didn't really know what i was doin had consequences (not really bad things, just super annoying and dumb things) so man i would get my freaking butt whooped, and i thank my parents subconciously all the time now, most people i know call me the most calm and collected person they know and wish they had my self control
if you are a good kid, then fine, wonderful, i would never ever touch you, i would encourage your good behavior
but..
if you are doing something wrong, or causing someone harm or being a ungrateful brat, then yes, believe me my hand will be applied full speed to your ass
so yes, if my kids do something wrong (which most likely will happen, hell i wasn't a good kid at first so im sure my kids will have some bumps in the road) i will apply some good ole "suck it up" smack to the ass, but once they are good or doing better, ill be sure to congratulate them and support them on that, so im pretty sure any fair person would agree with that, which alot of people have on here

Tehe! I love all the random fighting that goes on on forums, anyway, I was never really beaten by my parents, I was like the person my mum talked to when my sister was a complete *****.
Well that sounds quite painful, id bet it left one hell of a mark.BourneGamer said:
OT:
I learned at the age of two that my parents dont take shit from anyone. I learned that really fast and never forgot. I if I stepped out of line it was me with my pants down and my mom with a wooden spoon at high velocity. I became really well behaved until I was about four years old. That when my little sister reached her terrible twos. She figured out that it was not safe to bother my parents however if she bothered me there would be two targets instead of one. She would start something violent (a two year old tackling a four year old when he dosnt expect it, punching my face, biting), and me being conditioned to fear the spoon wouldn't retaliate for a good long while. When I finally did retaliate (usually just a light slap on the wrist or across the face) she would run away screaming. I got many undeserved punishments from her antics. Eventually I explained what was going on to my parents and got the largest apology I have ever received. After that my parents asked my side of the story whenever there was a disagreement. My sister is still mildly violent (shes 16 years old, took karate and knows how to punch and kick, she dances point as well and has legs of steel from it, if she hits you below the belt your going down instantly [sub]thankfully I have never been hit below the belt[/sub]), but im a lot tougher (took a lot more karate than her and also keep a cooler head when im angry, I have sent her to the floor once or twice when arguments have gotten physical.)
TL;DR: Was disciplined, realized discipline hurt, became smarter, sister was also smart, got me framed for stuff, I got disciplined, I explained to parents, No more discipline for me
If I ever have kids, I will discipline them if it is necessary. However I wont whip out the spoon or belt for every occasion. The punishment will fit the incident. If I have two kids then i will listen to both sides of arguments, use evidence, and deal punishments accordingly
My mom is German, my dad is Irish.
OF COURSE I GOT A BEATING!
No backtalk. I learned my lessons. I'm appalled with the attitude some kids have today. My parents also have a fury against the government for condoning such coddling.
I got beat with a boot most my life. My mom could really throw that thing. Gave it a good arc as well.

I would take beatings over my parents shoutings. I can take getting hit. But combine a very stubborn woman and a quite scary cop dad, when put together its lack a clash of the gods. But I have now developed a very good yelling voice, scared my last girlfried. Luckily, like any great superhero, I have complete control over it.
