We fought with fists mainly but anything that you could use to hit someone would do.

Geeze, nah none of that in my house.

Nothing wrong with that tho imho

We hate dudes who hit their wives,yet fathers hitting their daughters is ok.

 

[Shell]

oh god here we go.

Not even going to get into it

 

[NaturalDisaster]

I mean I don’t agree with hitting kids at it, but if anything it should be done with an open hand, never an object.

We would always laugh pretty much- even the wooden spoon never hurt.

The laughter when dad broke the wooden spoon on my brothers bum and then the realisation there was another one in the kitchen, priceless. we still laugh about it today

My mums smacks were pretty laughable, very light you could hardly feel it.

I wasn’t really ever smacked anyway and turned out just fine/. I was a good kid
