Hell, my mom gave me a look while we were in public, then when we got home it (the beating) was so much worse.

[–]MGLLNMod 82ポイント83ポイント  (15子コメント)

You knew your were fucked when she got real quiet and stopped telling you and your sibling to quit misbehaving.

I have PTSD from those belt-beatings.

Bruh, I'm Indian, my mom has a roller, kinda like this used to help make food.

Sold. Fucking. Wood.

[–]Haneesh716 22ポイント23ポイント  (1子コメント)

Tbh that's an imitation Indian roller, no Indian family is gonna shell out for fancy handles like that. Ours was just a big cylinder with two small cylinders on either face.

And imo those long wooden spoons to the knuckles was by far the worst.

    Always remember when you did something bad at school and the principal called your parents. No words would exchange in the car ride and your first instinct when getting home is to run into your room and lock the door. Good times.

    Parents threatened to remove the lock on my door after the first time I did that.

    Seriously? lol??

    As a chiense, who has a traditional as fuck chiense family, childhood was absolutely terrifying for me and my brother.

    You can only play outside / watch tv after you finished all chores and homework, you can only stay up till 10pm, doesnt matter if dragonball Z is playing at midnight nope......

    Also if you get anything below 80 in any class you are absolutely fucked, no entertainment for the rest of the year until marks improved.....

    Worst of all, there is no arguing with parents, you are practically their bitch, whatever they say you either do it or get spanked, no exception. It doesnt matter what you think, you just have to do it.....

    I dont know how black/white people raise their children but it seems like asians have the worst kind of parenting method.

    [–]demonicume 50ポイント51ポイント  (12子コメント)

    What ever gave you that idea? Black mother carry belts in their purses. Shit, my mama would raise her hand and a belt would appear like Highlander or some shit. Whenever I hear someone say 'SHUT UP' to an adult, I know it's a white kid. Black kids do fucked up shit, too, but I've never seen one of us do that.

    [–]JTtheLAR 19ポイント20ポイント  (6子コメント)

    I'm white and have a lot of black friends. We all got our asses lit up regularly. Though, I am from the south where our schools still paddle the shit out of kids. "Picking a switch" was a regular occurrence in all of our childhoods down here.

    And when I was a child, I was well acquainted with the wooden spoon. My mother had quite the assortment of them, and I was able to tell them apart by the way they felt on my ass.

        The hood kids who do stupid shit are the ones who don't have much parenting going on. And it's also generally not bad until late middle school/high school, when they think they're grown.

          It's about what the kid cares about. My parents took my consoles away. Fuck that. They didn't have to smack me (although a couple of times it happened...and I deserved it) but I would have taken that over my games every day of the week.

          For some kids timeout is total hell, for those kids it's effective. For others...other methods.

          [–]SmoothPrimal 31ポイント32ポイント  (3子コメント)

          Some parents are just too dumb to think about creative ways to dsicipline their child beyond hitting them.

          Im totally for spanking kids up to a certain point. If you are simply hittingyour kid becauseyou are irritated, you arent teaching him/her anything, but the fact that you are an idiot and you will pay for it 10 years later when your kid blooms into the full idiot you raise him to be.

            That's only the ghetto ones. My mom was old school and pulled out the chancla when I was outta line. I would get my ass straight beat. And my siblings would hide for cover and point and laugh at my demise. Smh I never learned tho so I was beat regularly. XD I love my mom.

            My Mexican Grandma didn't have a chancla, she used Jesus guilt. Terrifying.

            She had a little (white) porcelain Baby Jesus she always had in the living room and she told us it was watching us. Also, when we were bad, she would tell us we were making the baby Jesus cry.

            Total mindfuck. When she died, that baby Jesus mysteriously disappeared. It might have gotten smashed with a hammer. Maybe.

              Counting and timeouts certainly work. There just has to be some threat behind the counting. If you start doing the "two and a half.... two and three-quarters" shit then you've lost them. For my niece and nephew I rarely get to 2.

              As for timeouts kneel in a corner with a object between their nose and the wall for 3 minutes, if you drop the object restart. Then with your other kids do some fun activity at the same time.

              I've seen plenty of black kids acting like shitheads. I'm not scientist, so I didn't keep track of the white shitkid to black shitkid ratio, but it seems pretty close. I have noticed that poor kid shittiness and suburban kid shittiness are equally annoying but distinct brands of bad behavior.

                You shouldn't abuse your kids. What a novel opinion...

                EDIT: Look through some recent scientific literature on the subject. There's a pretty comfortable majority casting physical punishment in a negative light.

                [–]SkuggerBentley 42ポイント43ポイント  (0子コメント)

                don't bother

                peeps don't like hearing the scientific mumbo jumbo if it paints their parents in a bad light. bc if disciplining your child turns out to generally have a negative impact, then that means "maybe my parents fucked up", and that's generally very hard to admit.

                and for all self-proclaimed "I'm doing just fine" anecdotal shit (which is a self-fulfilling claim) there's countless other cases where

                -it fucked up the kid

                whether those effects are latent or patent are generally hard to discern. but bc there's so many damn cases, and scientific and psychological research proves that it does tend to be counter-intuitive and have a deleterious impact, let's just say i'm glad we're heading towards a society where shit like that is looked down upon

                -this is from someone who grew up w/ a verbally and physically abusive parent...

                she thought what she was doing was "right", but do we really trust fallible human beings to make that distinction in spur of the moment instances like such? nah.

                bc i'm pretty sure 99% of people who physically discipline their children

                -think this will benefit them in some way

                even the ones taking it 2far.

                bottom line, in general it fucks up the kid. doesn't matter that you "turned out alright" (like i'll trust you to make that biased assertion), there are 2many cases on the other end of the spectrum for me to see physical discipline to have any real societal benefit, and thankfully the practice is ebbing out.

                EDIT: and b4 ppl act like i've lived in a sheltered suburbia all my life (like i've seen itt happen to others)

                -i grew up in the ghetto (inb4 "hardcore!" fuck off i'm making a point)

                i've seen first hand how ineffective corporal punishment is

                -good friends who were belted/smacked/etc. by parents only grew more detached and angry, turning to drugs and gangs as an outlet bc they were scared of/angry at their parents

                and when i worked as a math TA w/ juvenile delinquents

                the teacher asked how many of their parent dished out corporal punishment

                -all of them raised their hands

                i know that's anecdotal evidence which i've already derided as invalid, but i'm just saying

                -you have ur anecdotal evidence and i have mine

                  It should read "When your mother physically abuses you in public & then threatens more abuse if you show emotion over it". Very healthy parenting techniques.

                      You don't have to be an SJW to believe that you don't have to assault children to teach them right from wrong. Does hitting them work? Sure, it can. Are there better ways to deal with kids, though? Absolutely. Do those methods also fail sometimes? Yep.

                      It takes a fucking ocean of patience and compassion, though, and that is not something most people have like all that, unfortunately. As someone from the switch culture, I understand the impulse; however, I've never once felt the need to strike a child myself.

                      [–]baraxador 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

                      This is the reason I'll never have kids myself, I dont know how to teach a kid. There are so many things to take in account, so many choices, it's just impossible in my mind to raise a child perfectly.

                      [–]coldazice 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

                      As perfect as you can be should ideally be the goal imo... you could probably do a lot better than the average parent if you tried I think.

                      [–]helluvathing 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

                      You know, I think just the fact that you acknowledge there is a lot to raising a kid and you're even thinking about what factors might go into raising a child "perfectly" puts you above a lot of irresponsible parents out there. Kind of like how drivers who are scared of getting into accidents are more often times the better drivers because they are cautious on the roads.

                      Although yes I agree that if you're concerned about your lack of knowledge raising a kid, no one should have a say in whether or not you do - it's 100% your decision anyway. Just pointing out that your concerns might actually be part of the traits of a good parent.

                      [–]baraxador 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

                      Thanks, I have a niece and her mother doesn't know anything about raising a kid, that's why I'm so concerned.

                      [–]doublefudgebrownies 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

                      You just do the best you can. Try to remember you are raising a person, not just a child. Read lots. And sometimes fly by the seat of your pants. Pretty much guaranteed to screw it up at some point, and if it doesn't make you question everything you know you probably aren't doing it right.

                      You have to find comfort in care taking, because it will be years before you get enough sleep, or a few minutes to yourself. It doesn't matter anymore what you wanted to do with your life, because now you suddenly have another human to get up and running.

                      There might be time for you again, but it is years off and by then you don't know who you'll be anymore, because being a parent doesn't come with any roadmaps or guidebooks, no matter how much you research.

                        I'm kind of late to this but oh well. One time I had the idea at Disneyland to twist a ketchup packet and throw it on the ground so it'd explode. We were all eating lunch and my Dad was right across from me. Well I threw it on the ground and it didn't explode. I then stepped on it because I wanted it to do something. Well it exploded but all threw one hole that was aimed right at my Dad. It went all over his white button up shirt and shoes. He slapped the absolute fuck outta me and I reeled. I started crying and everyone was looking at me. My mom stared me down and told me I had 5 seconds to fix my face or she'd slap me harder. Somehow I managed to do it and everytime after that became way easier.

                              ITT: hit your kids because it worked for me or if you hit your kids you're an abusive parents raising fucked up kids.

                              Two extremes people both with merits and issues. Just because you experienced something one way doesn't mean it's universally true and will work for another. Physical punishment is an option and sometimes necessary with certain kids and behavior.

                              There should be a required Parenting class in high school given from what I'm reading ITT.

                              Man it can help in some cases and I have plenty of friends that got "whoopins" growing up that turned out fine but I'm glad as fuck my parents didn't smack the shit outta me growing up. There are other ways to strike fear and remorse in a child's heart than giving them a wallop, believe me. Does it make you a bad person? Absolutely not but I sincerely think there are ways the work better. Hitting them is just easier and is a tried and true method.

                              I would have preferred to have gotten a smack and be over. I got guilt trips, passive aggressiveness, the silent treatment, sermons. Years of psych abuse. Ideally you want Mr and Mrs Brady but in reality people have stress and all kinds of pressures to deal with so between a pedantic perfectionist who demands nothing less than a Brady wunderkind and a person who loves you for who you are but snaps every now and then when they lose patience and gives you a slap - I chose the latter. Obviously it goes without saying that both are better than a child abuser.

                              I feel like it needs to be available as a last resort. I got some pretty serious spankings from my parents, and it served as the jolt to make me pay the fuck attention that I was REALLY not doing something right. 99% of the time, rational discussion was enough to get me to figure it out, but you remember the shit you did to make your parents hit you.

                              Of course, if you have shitty parents, when they hit you, you probably won't learn shit, and that's pointless.

                              Yes it does. Period. End of story. If you hit your kids you're a bad person. Don't give a shit how nice you think you are. The end. Don't abuse children. We don't need to hem and haw about how its ok in this case or that case or how you turned out fine or whatever. Just don't fucking hit your kids, its not hard if you actually have the emotional capabilities of an adult.

                              Anything that leaves those could be considered child abuse.

                                It depends on you as a human being, and on your level of maturity at the age when corporal punishment is still appropriate. You might not have ever had to have the hammer brought down on you, but others certainly did, and always will. I know because I was one of them. And it wasn't like my parents automatically threatened to spank/slap me whenever I acted out, it was always a last resort, but it was a last resort that worked when absolutely nothing else did.

                                When I was mature enough to understand that how I was acting wasn't okay, that was enough for me too. But kids don't always think that way.

                                It happened to all of us, we turned out relatively fine and it works. Unless you're besting your kid or hitting them all the time for no reason, I don't see the issue with it and it's been something done far before our time. Realistically, it's not going to end soon anyways.

                                If you're gonna take that route, the scientific data is pretty much all on the side of corporal punishment being deleterious to kids. Not to mention tons of countries have it outlawed and don't find their society to be crumbling.

                                I guess my point is that maybe it's not the kids that are the problem, but the parents who are choosing the easy way out instead of doing some research and finding healthier ways to control their children's behavior. If everything you learned about parenting was from watching your own parents, maybe you need to broaden your perspective.

                                  I know some of my friends didn't get hit either because they didn't misbehave much or they didn't respond well to it or maybe the parents just didn't want to. On the other hand, I had to be hit to learn. Me personally, but it's the parent's call with their kid because they know their child best and know what works and doesn't. So with that said, me personally, I had to be hit to learn. My parents tried making me have no games and shit, but I would just get more mad and say shit to my parents, but when they hit me I would shut up and cry. I'm not emotionally broken or have a lack of drive or want to be in gangs or hurt people or anything. I'm just a normal young adult making their way through college with big dreams that will probably never be fulfilled so then I'll buy a Porsche when I'm 45. But seriously, if anything, I'm happy I guess that they did it because it could have been the difference of me ending up being a dumb shit or the average position I'm in now. I don't think it correlates, but I'm just a kind person, I automatically like and welcome anyone unless they're an asshole and try to help people even by just listening to their problems and stuff. Fuck, this is a long comment.

                                  I wish that my parents had realized that parenting isn't a "one size fits all" and realized that hitting didn't work for me as well as it did my sister.

                                  At first I was just terrified of getting hit, but at one point I really didn't want to do something and realized "you can't make me do that" and took the slaps. I became a vengeful, angry shit as a kid and I would do stuff fully aware that I was going to get hit just because if I was going to get hit then I might as well make them angry too. The problem fed itself.

                                  Sorry that happened to you. And I guess that's why people don't want parents to hit their kids because it just doesn't work for all kids, it might just do what it did to you or make them afraid of their parents or like to spread violence or something. At some point hitting can become a tool to force things instead of enforce things.

                                  One example is some kid on Dr Phil that didn't respond to hitting at all. He just took the hits from his parents and laughed and asked for more to make them mad. Obviously the parents need to stop hitting him and find some other way to handle when he misbehaves. The parents said they didn't know what else to do, but it turns out that they didn't really do much else other than taking things away from him, grounding and hitting him, but there is much more that parents can do to discipline their kids and many dont know other ways than by the usual time outs and hitting.

                                  Abuse has more to do with the punishment not fitting the crime (the kid die nothing to deserve it, or at least nothing bad enough to deserve a real bad beating) than the actual hitting part. If a kid gets whooped and says "yeah I fucked up", thats different than a kid not knowing what they did wrong and blaming themselves for something that isn't their fault.

                                      Chihuahuas freak me out. What the heck is that face it's making?

                                      Why hit your kids though?

                                      Cuz they're son's of bitches who need to learn to behave in public.

                                      Source: I was one and now I have learned.

                                      I learned too, but no hitting was involved.

                                      It was never antisocial behaviour for me, but just doing stupid shit like throwing rocks at a wall near a window. Of course, I smashed the window and now I know that I shouldn't be an idiot when doing things for fun.

                                        Kids respond differently to different punishments and rewards. Taking away electronics and playtime works for some, it did for me, and others need a belt out switch, worked for my brother. If one isn't working try the other. Hitting is always an option but shouldn't always be the first and only option.

                                        When your kids are acting like idiots and you need them to stop, there are a few things that you need to take into account.

                                        • kids don't use logic so you cannot use reasoning with them to make them stop.
                                        • kids have no need for money nor do they understand how money works so you can't bribe them to stop.
                                        • Kids do not have a developed skill to read emotions and how to react to the emotions of other people. So an angry look or words through clenched teeth may be misread.
                                        • Kids do not have the skill to ascertain between figures of speech and actual threats so threatening them my make them laugh in your face.

                                        • Kids have no idea how to evaluate risk and react accordingly so giving ultimatums is a wildcard.

                                        • Every child understands pain and fear and will do anything to make it stop.

                                        Once a child is brought back into reality with a slap upside their heads, you will have their full attention and they will understand that you are serious. They will not contradict or question what comes out of your mouth after that.

                                        If this thread were about dogs instead of kids this thread would look very differently even though they don't have any of the abilities you listed. You're just being delusional, most of the "methods" described in this thread are illegal where I live and sound highly alarming.

                                        Which methods are you referring to?

                                        Can we get some academic sources?

                                        Bullet points do not equal sources. Just because you put your speculation in a list doesn't mean it's fact.

                                          Because kids are assholes and the dumb ones don't learn until they've been smacked. If you have a kids that behaves on commands, awesome. In the meanwhile, kids test limits. That hard limit needs to be a hard smack to the backside.

                                            Some kids yes, some kids no. Grounding and timeouts didn't do shit for me. I could stand in a corner for an hour and entertain myself in my own head. I couldn't stand being whipped. That's the punishment that was effective for me

                                            Not in my family. My sister, maybe, but the boys? Hell no. We needed something tougher than sitting in an empty room for five minutes. And you know what? We turned out pretty damn fine.

                                              I know yall get get really bitchy about this subject whenever someone might criticise the way your parents raised you, but hitting your children is seen to have long term negative affects on your children. As you can read here:

                                              http://m.pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/130/2/184.short

                                              Now, I really could give less of a shit about your stupid anecdotal evidence "I did something shitty once and got hit and I turned out fine" well guess what? Your personal experience is not indicative of how, many kids react to physical punishment.

                                              Tbh, spankings and the such have a purpose, but smacking, punching, shoving, or kicking you kid is terrible and you should feel bad for encouraging it, dumbass.

                                              I thought this only happened to us white kids. My mom's favorite thing to do was grab a belt off a rack, beat my ass in the middle of the store, then put the belt back and look like nothing happened. Sometimes she'd grip my shoulder afterwards with her nails, as I was trying to hold back tears, and say, "You wait until we get to the car. I didn't give you everything you're getting because I didn't want to embarrass you, but once we get to that car... you're mine."
