Yeah that's totally what a dad sounds like

Meanwhile to the daughters :*huggles* My little princess.

Boi you better knock that off before i beet you wit dis belt.

I mean i can see your point

That was my household before my parents split

Well this got dark

"Boi you better get yo ass off of that tree. If you fall, I ain't takin' yo ass to the hospital and put us in debt."

Just say he went off to the woods or something.

WEll i was dragged across the coast as a child

When I misbehaved in public, My mom and dad treated me with care putting on a good caring show for everyone else but then whispered in my ear in a scary voice "Just wait until we get home, ninita" then gripped me by the arm painfully until we got home to proceed with the spankings

That just sounds like abuse

I mean even if you're now 25 (as you said you are), spanking was still illegal right?

Nope. Just an old fashioned household. Around here spanking was a normal disciplinary method.

Remember: I'm mexican

I just got my shit taken away and wasn't allowed dessert or occasionally only vegetables for dinner cause i loved my food

...MY GOD YOU ARE SO WHITE!!!

I am very white

Or ya know, british.

I've played crochet before

And badminton

sounds like a rich white hobby

It's really not

Also, am white, was also spanked.

i was never spanked

but i was beaten with a book once

beyond my dad almost poisioning me with a dead lizard

You get arches of wood and stick them in the ground, then have to knock a ball through the wooden arches with basically a wooden sledgehammer

You could pick up a decent set for like $20

It's only considered child abuse if you spank so hard you leave bruises that make it hurt to move. Like let's say a child got spanked for misbehaving and embarrassing the parents in public. If they are unable to sit down, then yes it's child abuse. Spanking is one thing, but making them unable to do everyday things is what makes it child abuse. When my parents split, my mom got a little easier but was still strict. My dad once spanked me so hard I was unable to sit down. My crime? I accidentally broke my brother's glasses while at dad's house. My mom was in the process of pressing charges after my teacher noticed what was going on.
A few smacks to the butt with a belt or a light smack in the face when they start badmouthing you is fine so long as it doesn't impair the child's ability to do everyday things.

The problem for me is that spanking someone gets me off so i could never do it to my child or anyone's because i'd be thinking of the last time i did it my girlfriend 😂

But like a clip around the head is fine, or a light slap to the face if they're being quite bad

I once got told by a high school classmate that having rules and a curfew was child abuse. She was knocked up at 15, didn't have a dad and her mother was always drunk off her ass with her recent one night stand. Not spanked once and believes that having rules and regulations is child abuse.

Well there's extremes in both ways, either you have the parents that wrap their children in bubble wrap and punish them for talking to a friend for too long, or those that allow them to come home with 18 people and wreck their house

*wrap their children in bubble wrap* Jesus what verbal diarrhoea

I don't believe in raising kids to believe they have the same rights as an adult because they don't. Reality check: They are too young to understand what rights are and if you TRY to teach them, they will get the wrong idea and try to abuse it. One of my childhood friends was entering her rebellious teenager phase and got so bad that she threatened to call the cops on her mom for spanking her one time. My mom's advice to her? Challenge her. Tell her "Go ahead! Call the cops. And when they answer, tell them WHY I spanked you." they will stop. It worked when I tried it(Despite having a strict mom because of the classmates I had who were raised with freedom) and it worked on her too. You NEVER raise kids on the same level as you. My mother always told me that when I have kids, to remember that I am their parent, NOT their friend so not to act like it.

thankfully,

i am infertile

Bright side: All the unprotected sex you want

See i just knew that whatever complaints i had about my parents that they are basically FWP's and really nothing to complain to anyone but my friends about it

nah man there are still STDS

Yeah true
