~ grin I hear you on The Look I've passed it on to my son!! grin

~Other than the Look there was Lectures. . Argh! Me & my siblings dreaded lectures but in hindsight it did a lot of good! No screaming matches/pysical punishment ,tho i did get the odd deserving slap or flick behind my ears from my Ma. . .  grin

~Erm usually after the "lecture",we get to do some reflecting on what was lectured  or on what we'd done . . .an apology letter wud be written. . .it wasnt mandatory but it was our own way of trying to make amends. . I loved the writing letter bit . . that was mostly w/ my Dada. . he'll reply too. . i've still got some of his letters & mine. . .I've had a good laff reading them over the years!

I used to stand in the corner with my hands behind my back.

Got beaten with whips, slippers, shoes, sticks, etc.

Lock me in my room till she got back from work without eating anything.

"Pump Tire". I hated this one the most. I had to go up and down with my fingers in my ear. My whole body was on fire after I did it for the 10th time
.

Now,All my mother have to do is shout at me and then I get afraid

Imagine someone taking off her slippers to beat the nonsense out of you angry In public
Re: What Was Your Parents Instrument Of Choice For Disciplining You? by davidif: 6:32am On Sep 01, 2009

All of the above and anything else you could think of (including NEPA cable).
Re: What Was Your Parents Instrument Of Choice For Disciplining You? by Nobody: 9:41am On Sep 01, 2009
The Look
Canes and any near by object
The Pastor
My mum also reported us to her twin brother. This guy does not shout. He walks with his hands in his pockets or behind him. He made us feel like shit whenever he spoke/talked to us.

My dad never really punished or beat us.

that is mental torture my dear. The Girls in my family got told off (ocassinally minor punishment was given)while the boyz got serious beatings(ocassionally major punishment).They were apparently meant to toughen us up.

LOL the spanking was quick and over it. I got used to it and it stopped hurting.

The lectures may last for hours, talk talk talk. About how you've let her down, of how bad you are, of what you did in the past of what your cousins and aunts will think (like I care). Then she calls her sister and that one starts talking too. Of how my cousins were perfect and wouldnt do such. cheiiiiiiii, it wasnt only boring, it was predictable.

And if you dare to talk, she adds more things to say. embarassed embarassed
Re: What Was Your Parents Instrument Of Choice For Disciplining You? by follypimpi(m): 9:51pm On Sep 02, 2009

well sad to say but. . .
she used to use a belt sometimes
or maybe a long thin twig from outside (she used to make me go and get it so she can use it to whip me. lol)
sometimes just her regular hands or fist

but sometimes it would turn into an all out war!! i started to defend myself.
well i havent had one of those in YEARS!! its all good. grin

LMFAO. .

Cane, only a couple of times - back when I used to be very stubborn(still am but a lot less)  embarassed

The cane was abandoned long time ago and it became slapping. But I haven't been dealt with neither in a WHILE.

I guess whooping time is over, I'm grown  cool

Oh yea, the lectures still continue till this day.
