When you was in trouble as a kid , what was your punishment ?

I got one or two spankings from my father. I was very young, but old enough to remember and get the message. It was such a terrible experience that I toed the line after that.

Our mother spanked us with a wooden spoon occasionally, but it didn't hurt.

Other things weren't exactly punishment I guess. Like being locked in the basement until it was clean. We were little children and had no idea how to clean it.

Or being locked out of the house with my brother until we found something. We finally gave up looking. It was getting dark, and we lay down in the ditch to sleep, hoping that a neighbor would rescue us. Just then our father opened the door and said the thing was not lost after all.

Some of my younger co-workers are horrified when I tell them the stories. I'm 62 and still working with a group of software engineers, me and one other guy are the 2 oldest, he's also 62.

They are mortified that actual physical punishment existed and that we somehow survived it! We survived the beatings and totally deserved it!

some of us didn't deserve beatings.. some of us just had psycho parents.. some of us barely survived childhood...
 
Mom never really punished us, she just used the old 'Wait till your Father gets home...' line,
but as he would be out at sea for a long time, the 'deeds' would soon be forgotten.

Then she caught on and said she would include our infractions in her next letter to him.
That got our attention and we would behave for a time.

Funny thing was, when he finally did return, we never had to face the music.
I think he had other things on his mind!

well they..certainly my father deserved to be locked up... but my mother made it clear to use that if we told the police ( and my brother and I did run to the police station one time, and the police came to the house but my mother denied anything had happened.. ).. that we kids would all be sent to live apart in separate children's homes... and we would be responsible for the break up of the family!

As kids we lived with better the devil we knew .. and having been placed in Foster homes already on several occasions we didn't like it.. so we stuck with it.. but as we got into our teens the beatings became much worse.. and ultimately my mother took her own life.. ( so much more to say but not on this forum)..

It has to be painful just to tell.
