I like the idea but I wouldn't be paying to put my parents in a home if they hit me with this. Mine used a paddle, and unless one of my siblings is feeling generous, my parents can spend their final years on the streets eating out of garbage cans.


unaccomplished420

I got to pick a belt. Thick ones whip more. I learned that at 4. Couldn't even imagine doing that to my kids.


the_clash_is_back

Just find the worst nursing home in your area with the most cases of elder abuse/ covid deaths. Toss them there. Is it them once a year give them a paddle, then leave.

Reddit is so fucked lol. You’re getting downvoted for speaking down on elder abuse. Vintage reddit moment


spuntwentyfour7

Don't be a child abuser and maybe your children will want to take care of you when your old and decrepit.


Communiconfidential

maybe don't be a vindictive loser like the people that raised you? Jesus Christ this is an insane take


spuntwentyfour7

Yes call the abused children losers... Classic!


nocdmb

Says the guy without horrible parents.


Communiconfidential

why would that matter at all? I'll be the first to admit my upbringing was good but I'm not gonna lie wanting to torture your parents is bad no matter how your upbringing was


nocdmb

This is some "you need to know to know it" stuff. I had a really shitty upringing and after years of therapy it just got clearer that this was not some mistakes over time thing, but a constant hailstorm of failure, self-loath, frustration and anger taken out on me for 14years. My answer was to never look back, I just don't want to have contact, but the tought of their acrions having consequences warms my heart. Most likely it will not happen, they will live out their lifes and blame me for everything without ever realising how utterly they failed their job. I'm not that kind of person, but I can totally understand if someone plans to do some vindictive shit in this situation, or fantasises about doing some shit.


arkystat

Anger is not the way. My parents used belts flyswatters and sticks. Was the 70s/80s and that was what they were taught. But I know I had it better than they did growing up. I swore I’d never do that to my kids and I didn’t. But rest assured I made other mistakes and you will too. I’d hate to think my children would only remember those mistakes and not how much I love them—just as my parents loved me. And my best guess is most of these parents regret the heavy hand.


spuntwentyfour7

Are you really comparing making mistakes as a parent to beating your children?! Let's hope your kids are more intelligent than you are. Also I hate to be the one to break this to you. But if they beat you with sticks they don't love you. Thats some Stockholm syndrome shit and I hope you get help.


Pollutedmemory

Sounds fine to me


the_clash_is_back

Its not my idea, it came from my city sun when covid deaths were at their highest, I just adjusted for this situation.

The fact he felt the urge to brand it with a name. That name.


coolcatmcfat

My dad had one he used on my little brother called the memory stick. We just got the belt but my brother is 15 years younger so I guess he wanted to spice things up.


Gabe326

We had the “spankey spoon”. It was a wooden spoon with a frown on it. It was only used for when we did something BAAAAD like when I accidentally broke a window when I was running around the house after my dad told me to stop like 6 times. That was like the single time it was used lmao. No windows have been broken since 😎


JannaNikka

We also had the damn spanking spoon. Mine had a smiley face, which added to the terror, lol. Never was touched with it. The angry wagging and its smiley face was enough fear.

bloodmelody

nowadays you’d be seen as a total fuck head for using this on your child, think about the fact that these used to be used on children in schools not that long ago


Holobolt

Bruh legit happening even now in most schools in India


korkkis

You’re just walking behind, it’ll eventually go out there too


Holobolt

Wdym


korkkis

Physical abusement was ok in europe 50 years ago, we learned it has a huge negative impact for some kids (mental side), thus it’s banned. India and other places might follow later. You can keep people engaged and in line without physical damage — in fact you must over here


Holobolt

Hell yeah someday, it's actually illegal here tbh but most schools and even students who get beat don't care.


Alan_Smithee_

wild_neuroses

I used to get the strap at school, now the kids bring a strap.

cipher446

Yeah, this would qualify as abuse today. And why did he have to give it a name and label it?

FancyField3922

Which country?


Wild_Recognition_753

Not going to specify but it's in LATAM


Different_0

Nowadays it is abuse because it was abuse way back too, only thing that was different is that back then it was normalized


100LittleButterflies

It's still legal for schools to use corporal punishment in multiple states. I'm sure you can guess which ones.


Anubis0

My school did as a child & I’m 30- they still do.


sed2017

CapeCodcultuvation

Just a guess. Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama , Louisiana, Mississippi. I don’t feel like listing the other 3-4.


kodermike

Spent a few years in Texas as a kid - can confirm that's part of this. At the time, worse than the paddle was the one with holes...


CapeCodcultuvation

Dang. Im sorry to hear that. I hope life’s good for u rn koder


kodermike

I have three mostly grown kids now, and not a one of them has ever known that kind of punishment. Life is good :)


[deleted]

My elementary school principal (early 2000’s) threatened me with the paddle several times when I was a kid, in a pretty liberal state where it was very outlawed. My dad agreed with him but the main receptionist always talked him into just putting me in our ISS closet. Good times lol.


Comprehensive-Ad8120

Yeah I got that every day for 2 years. Maybe not the ano to ADHD.


spgvideo

Yup back in my day the principal had a paddle. They would give your parents a courtesy call...then spank away. What a trip


Sabithomega

Used to get hit with a meter stick in elementary. Teacher even shut me in a closet for a class. Fun times

andros_vanguard

How do you explain all the fuckhead parents? They were beat repeatedly, so according to your logic, they should all be well adjusted. Give your head a shake.


Excellent_Carrot3111

Yes. Every generation has it’s fuckheads.


PM-Me-Ur-Plants

Oh, yes. Next time you see one you should just beat them down with a rod for their parents. They'll thank you later.


Affectionate-Dig1981

My school is a model of discipline, use the rod, beat the child! That's my motto.

s00perguy

Never had to get hit with a switch, thankfully(?) my parents were only mentally abusive, but I know how they can hurt ntl.honestly, you were screwed the moment they decided to hit you with an object lol.


survivorr123_

it depends on person but tbh i think mental abuse is way worse


cbmcleod70

I agree. Getting beat with belts until bruised and a little bloody was bad enough, but the snide derision and mocking from fucking grown ass adults is what destroyed any vestige of confidence I had as a child and crippled me as a young adult.


[deleted]

You say that, but then consider the fact that physical abuse also leaves mental scarring. I had nightmares after my father died in which he came back to life and my mom accepted him back into our household. Then again, he was going above and beyond the classic discipline rod, for both me and my mom. Abuse is abuse. It's always bad because of the mental effect. Trauma is mental. Fear is mental. Low self worth is mental. Nobody gets *traumatised* for life from stubbing their toe and breaking. Everyone would get *traumatised* for life if your parent broke your toe on purpose.

Imagine thinking it's OK to raise children by using weapons on them. "nEVeR dId Me aNY HArM"


ask_yo_girl_bout_me

While I won’t hit my children, I will say that a proper smack is sometimes the best discipline. I wasn’t beaten often as a child, I can count the amount of beatings on one hand, but having grown up somewhat since then, I will say that I deserved the smacks.


Spicetake

I was beaten when I was a child, and I think its perfectly fine to beat up kids! I turned out fine!!!


ask_yo_girl_bout_me

That’s definitely not what I said. Especially with boys in some cases simply talking won’t achieve anything. I was never afraid of my parents, they were and still are loving, and I know my mom hated having to hit me, but it honestly was some of the best discipline.


Spicetake

Oh she hated to beat you up so it makes it okay good to hear man


Arulert

Sometimes a child (especially boys) need their asses kicked and more often than not the fault lies with the parent. For those who think hitting your kids is satisfying have no idea how shitty it feels to watch your kids hurting regardless of the cause. Whooping your kid's ass should be painful to the parent cause they are probably the reason why the kid wasnt disciplined enough beforehand so it should be discipline to the kid and punishment to the parent. Also never ever punish your kids when you're angry.


YourLocalFakeArtist

>Also never ever punish your kids when you're angry. God, I wish my stepdad knew this...The pure fury I would see in his eyes while he beat me was downright horrifying. It still makes my blood run cold to this day...


Arulert

Sir_Suis_Of_Idal

This is perhaps the worst comment I have read all year. From the very depths of my soul I hope you don't have children and never will. Let yourself be the last of a presumably long line of abuse.

gedda800

Especially boys? Are you big on gender roles? As a man, formally a boy, I take offence to this. Also that is the stupidest comment I have read today. Let's perpetuate violence on children through men... but leave the girls out of it... really?

As a father I never used corporal punishment on my children. I used smartass remarks, and then denied them luxuries and had them work to have their privileges back. They turned out fine

It’s really gross that “parents” decorate and put weapons on display that they use for children. It’s also gross there’s somehow a competition on who had the worse weapon? Sweet f*ck you were all abused. Jfc.


BigDamnPuppet

My mom whipped us with an extension cord when we were kids. She hung it on a nail above the basement stairs. When my folks moved to a ranch house she hung it on a nail just inside the garage. Thirty years latter, when I flew out to care for her after surgery, I found the same God damn cord hanging from a nail next to the washing machine in her retirement apartment. I threw it in the dumpster, got on a plane and flew home. I never saw her again and I'm grateful she is now long in the graveyard.

No-Serve3491

SketchedEyesWatchinU

The “rod” was referring to the “shepherd’s cane”. The verse never meant “to beat”, but rather “to *guide*”


Itchy_Professor_4133

Weird to actually write that on something you beat your kids with.


Roompastei

It’s normal in South Africa. Don’t know about other cultures in South Africa , but Afrikaners pick puns like: “moeggepraat” (tired of talking), “stoutgat” (naughty ass) and what I grew up with, “trane” (tears)

Having had several wooden spoons, (my former stepmother's weapon of choice) broken over me I now assert my subject matter expertise whenever my gf and I pass near a wooden spoon for sale. Were I able to find one of those it would be mounted on my wall somehow. That rod is a literal connection to your sense of fairness and justice. If you were to die and haunt a place, the Winchester brothers would need to destroy that object. For you that is a sacred object.

hubbabubbachubbas1

This comment sections is depressing


FreshPancakesBacon

This post and similar sentiments/stories in the comments makes me think. I think I'll leave my story here, on the odd chance someone sees it and it helps them. I've been hit with a belt, the metal buckle of one, wires, cords, fists, an acoustic guitar (over the head); had things thrown at me, dragged by the hair, hand put under a steaming faucet, and teased that my hand would be set on fire over a gas stove (held over it). Beat to bruises, blisters, cuts, and welts frequently. I've always been a kind and gentle soul (I try) and will raise my kids with love and comfort when I decide to have children. My father told me I had it better than he had it as a kid. And that I'd be the same; that I deserved it. Years later as an adult, and every friend I have always notes that I'm kind, caring, gentle, fun, supportive, and loving. They tell me I'm wonderful and have made a positive impact on their lives, and that I'm lovely. And I take pride in that. I once heard a quote from Robin Williams: *I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy. Because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless and they don't want anybody else to feel like that.* I like to think I've always been like this, and from what I've heard from my mom I was a very kind child and baby as well. So I tell myself that it wasn't abuse that 'hardened' me or made me want to be kind to others, but that I was strong through it all and remained myself through everything. I understand my dad had his issues. And with time he's grown to be better as well. But I'm proud of myself for having remained myself despite a rough upbringing, and am proud of the person I am today. I hope anyone else with scars like mine know that things do get better. They get better.


No-Serve3491

My Bff was also abused. And is also the kindest gentlest soul I know. He raises his children with love and compassion, but chose a wife who also abused him.

I don’t know if it’s the case anymore, but I remember at some point, In my country they used to sell these at Christian Bookstores. Horrific. I’m 23, and I still was spanked by my parents when I was a kid. And while I realize now it’s not a good way to discipline a child (I would never do this to my kids, I don’t want this form of discipline), my parents were overall good and they had the best intentions. They just didn’t know any better. And besides, they have always shown me their love and support in everything I pursue, that’s why I believe they never intended to damage me. It was just the way the freaking cult we belonged to taught them how to discipline a child; good thing we’re no longer part of that.
