What was your worst/standard punishment as a child?

Fuck, when I was a kid a properly violent smacking on the arse was a regular occurrence, for more serious offences My father would use a bamboo cane, or maybe take his belt off and leather 6 shades out of me. And this was for normal kid stuff. I was never a properly ill-behaved child. I lived in fear of my father and those threats of "wait till your father gets home" had real substance.

Yet he loved me, I loved him and loved spending time with him. We would ride for miles on our bikes. Far more miles than I'd care to do these days. I think it was fairly normal parenting back in the 70s and 80s. Mind you I didn't have any kind of real conversation with my father until I was 24 and about to go to university. Not the closest of relationships.

this was my family:-) I had a wooden spoon til my mum broke it on my sisters bum. And it was a big fat fucker of a spoon. If we were VERY bad, it was my dads turn and he used a slipper. But not like your nancy english slippers. These were plastic on the bottom with little pyramids for grip. Stung like a mother fucker!!! But was non damaging.

I love my parents today as much as they love me and i must say that we are best of friends and were even when i was misbehaving.

I dont think i was that naughty, but then again, i was not particularly good either. Average run of the mill child.

I am personally not in favour of todays anti physical punishment Sorry Luci!). Nothing put me in line in the middle of a shop when i was throwing a trantrum like a swift smack from my mom, and she was a strong farm girl!
