Dad told me long after I got out of college that they had to re-evaluate punishment with me. He said I was probably 18 months old and it was tome to teach me what no meant. So dad gave me a little swat. I just scowled at him and smacked him back. So he gave me a firm no and a harder swat. I got madder and smacked him. So he escalated it further. Same result. So finally he looked at me and said “you don’t want to be a bad boy do you?” Apparently I was crushed and cried whale tears.
I’ll probably never forget him telling me, “I don’t know how hard I’d have had to hit you to win, but it was harder than I was willing to.”
Even as a goddamned toddler I was a hard headed ****.

I can remember my grandmother chasing me around the house with a fly swatter for being a brat, but I thought it was funny. :-)
I recall my mother making me eat soap when I cussed as a kid.
I recall the fly swatter a few times, it was handy during the moment. [Reply]
Also, my grandpa didn't have the heart to spank us, but believed in corporal punishment as effective. So he would make a big production of putting us over his knee, then putting the back of one hand on our butts, and spanking his own hand loudly. Made a lot of noise and scared us at least enough to behave for the moment. Not so much because we though we were being punished as he took the time to demonstrate how much he wanted us to behave.

I once flipped my dad off, now mind you he has asthma. So I figured with a head start id get away. Welp I've never seen that man run faster. Mind you my dad is a body builder... I didn't think he could run that fast.
Next thing you know I'm choke slammed up against a wall lifted off my feet with my dad telling me if I ever did it again he would end me.

Good times
(ps I was 16)
All I can picture is Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting..."I will end you chief!" :-) [Reply]
My Dad would scare the shit out of me with just an evil scowl.
I was well behaved for the most part, but I do remember getting an ass whooping by hand a couple of times and a Bare ass whooping with a belt once. [Reply]
I got spanked maybe a few times? Nothing that i can remember right now. I maybe got grounded?
To be honest, i never did anything wrong that warranted any sort of punishment as a child. I was an only child, loner, who mostly kept to himself
As a teen dad and I got into a fist fight. I snuck off to my GF's house. When i got back he was drunk and talkin' mad shit and we got into it. Then i ran away and never saw him again. I didn't run away because of the fight though. I had been thinking about leaving home for years because he was a drunk who did the bare minimum. I took care of myself more than he took care of me, so he felt more like a thorn in my side holding me back than he felt like a father. [Reply]
