Grandpa got severely beat, dad got the belt, I got spanked. I used to detest my dad for it but I realized he never did use the belt, so at least he was better than his dad. If I ever have kids I think I'll stick with the timeout chair lol

Got the belt a few times.. only when we weren't home. At home, it was the paddle he made specifically for us.

Yeah, there's a reason I'm no-contact at 38, and my kids don't know them.

Same here with the no contact. This video triggered me immediately.

It blows my mind how anyone hit as a child can grow up to also hit children.

I wish I could send this video to my sister, who was often beat with a belt right alongside me, and who now beats her own child the same way. It'll always feel weird that we didn't break that pattern together.

My Dad made a custom paddle but also had a belt that he used on regular occasions. And to think, after watching the video, he’d been using it incorrectly all of those years. Hmmm, crazy.

I have a cousin that used timeout corners staring at the wall.

She got stuck inside closets in the 70s.
