Did you as parents or did your parents

Question

spank you/beat you on your back instead of your backside (if they used corporal punishment)

Answer 1

no...

Answer 2

Nope.  I was spanked on my bottom only and that is how I spank my toddler.  One or two firm swats on his bottom as an attention getter.

By the way, spanking should not be backslashed with beating.  The two are very different.

Answer 3

when we lose it , everywhere it can go.........lol

Answer 4

No to both. My dad hit my arm once when I hit my sister. My mom slapped me across the face once I think for being fresh or something.

Answer 5

Not on the back, but a few times I would smack the back of the hand when my girls were toddlers and they were reaching for something that was off-limits, like something on the stove or the iron.  "No no, must'nt touch!" and all that.

Answer 6

Not me, but my dad beat my brother on his back when he did something my dad considered wrong - which was everything.

This was when my brother turned 13 and until he left home at 18.

Answer 7

Nope, my parents took us over the knee,

had the target right in front of them and couldn't miss.

We got spanked with one of those paddles that had the little

red ball.

Answer 8

my mom hit me with whatever she could find in the moment and hit me in the easiet  place she could reach.  

one time i was 16 and holding my  8 month old nephew.  she was getting ready to talk on the phone when my brother told her i didn't go to school that day. she threw the phone at me.  good thing it didn't hit the baby.  i ran away.

Answer 9

NEVER  

Answer 10

Im 23 and my Dad only spanked me a couple of times only on my butt and my mother never spanked me. My step dad used to hit us where ever he could reach first. I dont really agree with spanking i think you can find other ways around it, BUT, im not gonna bash other people for doing it. As for me, i have an 18 month old and i dont spank her, i just talk to her in a really stern voice or i pat her on the top of her hand and tell her no. It usually listens unless shes being just a terror that day. Reguardless of anyones beliefes hitting anywhere other then the butt is wrong, specally if they are angry and hitting you hard

Answer 11

My parents(or at least my dad) when he spanked my rear he would sometimes hit my back

i don't suggest it though because of possible spine damage.

Answer 12

I was only spanked on my behind and that's how I spank my daughter

Answer 13

my gardiens spanked me on my *** or popped me in the mouth but i only spank my kids on there bottems not as a beating but just to get their attention and get the point accross

Answer 14

No, my parents never hit us and  do not hit my children. It's not necessesary and there are other ways to "get a child's attention" that's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard LOL LOL The reason why a smack on the butt gets their attention is because now they are thinking "oh my God, my parent who is suposed to love and protect me just hurt me" yeah that's the thought I would want to leave in my child's head, all just to "get their attention" No thanks I get my child's attention by getting at their eye level and looking into their eyes while holding their hands, then I have their attention. No need to hit them to get them to attention.

Answer 15

Name it and that's what my sister's and I got as children.

Hot wheel tracks, extension cords, ceramic ash trays...we had it all.

As a mom, yes I spanked but only on the rear....

as a grandma...hehe, they get away with every thing...

Answer 16

i never smack my children.

Answer 17

never on my back...thats more of a form of child abuse...they did spank me on my bottom...but that was only untill i was about 13...after that they started grounded me...because spanking stops working after a certian age

Answer 18

Not on my back but sometimes I would move and the belt would get my upper legs.  The whelps weren't pretty.  My dad didn't do it out of anger but I don't think he realized how strong his arm was.

My oldest is only 3 1/2.  Methods, other than spanking have been successful so far.  I'm not saying I will 'never' spank but it will be a last resort.  If what I'm doing now works, why change it?

I do agree w/ TX mommy of 2.... beating and spanking are 2 totally different things.  I was spanked but never beaten.
