What was your worst/standard punishment as a child?

candid

That's the thing with hitting kids.

They misbehave, you smack them.
They misbehave more, you smack them harder.
What if they don't learn, don't behave?

Do you beat the living shit out of them?

It takes a big man to admit their faults, Frank. I wish you luck.
You must be under a lot of pressure as a single parent, and it must be difficult not to lash out at times.

Thanks. I usually don't really talk about these things exept when I'm at my weekly AA meeting, but reading all these stories in this thread sort of made me open up I guess! It's actually really liberating.

Anyways, as long as I'm being honest - yes, I really am under a lot of pressure at the moment. And truthfully speaking, the only thing that helps me cope right now are hookers and the will to get my son back. Hopefully I will - wish me luck!
