Question

When you were a kid how were you disciplined and ho did it make you feel? both positive and negative feeling ?

Answer 1

I was grounded from playing outside with friends.  At the time it sucked of course.  I also got the silent treatment.  I hated that worse than anything.  Nothing is worse than your mom not talking to you for a few hours.  One time it was about 3 days.  It's so immature.

Answer 2

I know I was spanked and stuff when I was little but I don't remember any of it. Apparently it worked so that what I'm doing with my kids, till a certain age.  

Answer 3

Well, sometimes I think I got away with alot more than I should have now that I'm expecting my first child any day now. I was constantly sent to my room to "think" about what I did... At that age, any child is thinking that they totally got away with whatever they did... therefore, no lessons were learned. There is a fine line between good discipline and abuse. That line is constantly being called into question. I guess it just depends on what your child responds to. If you tell them to sit in a corner, and it apparently doesn't phase them, then it's time to move on to more drastic measures. I personally, don't believe that spanking (not beating) a child is wrong. Sometimes a little pat on the butt or swat to the hand is just what they need to get the point across. I had this done to me a couple of times when I was growing up, and it actually was more phasing to me because it actually hurt my feelings, and THAT made me stop from doing it later. All kids are going to test you, and every parent thinks that THEIR way is the BEST way, but just try different methods on your child until you find what they respond to the best. Hope this helps, good luck.  

Answer 4

i was yelled at alot i always thought my parents had a hearing problem or maybe they thought i had one i wasnt even sure they were capable of speaking in a normal voice

i was threatened which after a while i knew was just talk so i just payed no attention

i was spanked from time to time when i did "bad things" which made me resent my parents

i was placed on punishment and had to either stay in my room or stay in the house i would volunteer to do chores in the house and when i was given chores outside i just stayed out it was like they forgot a lot of the time they were at work so punishment rules didnt apply unless they were home

all of those punishments made me and my parents distant we barely knew each other i started spending more and more time with friends but i have to admit i did learn that there are consequences to my actions so i was well behaved at my friends houses and at school

now my parents and i are much closer i see that they were only trying to mold me into the person i am today i just wish it had been more hugs and kisses and saying i love you

i feel that if they would have made me feel good then i would have been good and wanted to be around them more

Answer 5

My parents were very strict and believed in corporal punishment (belts, hangars,switches,shoes anything they could grab and hit you with they used.My dad once  pulled the phone off the wall and threw it at me cuz i was talking on the phone ( phone bill was $300.00 ) He racked up this huge bill calling relatives in europe and blamed me !! I was on the phone with my best friend who lived 8 blcoks away.

I hated the bad tempers, grew up embarrassed to bring anyone around the house in fear of outbursts and rudeness towards my friends.Alcoholism was a major factor and I hated my life!! SO did my other siblings
