PRDreaming My grandmother never sent me to my room, but she would say 'If it werenot for me, you would be in an Orphanage. This frightened me alot. The thought of it... It usually made me very quiet, and I dissapeared naturally to me room. sigh Since she raised me, it was true. I would never say that to a child thoughsad flower
GG...they loved you nonetheless. bouquet
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,,,THATS NOTHING TO THE LIFETIME OF PUNISHMENT THAT WAS GIVEN ME,,,, MY WONDERFUL MOTHER???HAH!!SHE WENT RIGHT ALONG FOR THE RIDE,,,,AND NOT BY MY WISHES,,,BUT IM SURE SHE WILL JOIN HER BELOVED IN THE SAME PLACE WHEN THE TIME COMES
AND IM SURE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL SAY WE WERENT LIKE THE WALTONS,,,,FAR FAR AWAY FROM THAT,,,,,,,,
If my mom was correcting me, she was gentle and loving.hug On the other hand with my father, he was physical most of the time. Some hard lessons growing up.
AND THATS ONE OF THE REASONS YOU ARE "GENTLE JIM" NOW
I WOULD HAVE STRAP MARKS ON ME A WEEK LATER,,WHEREVER THEY LANDED...ITS JUST AS WELL HE PASSED ON...WHY?,,,BECAUSE LITTLE BOYS GROW UP TO BE MEN ONE DAY
I am just wondering what makes some parents want to hurt their children. It is so very very sad. Both my parents had difficult childhoods due to losing a parent the other parent re marrying and causing pain in the lifes of the my parents.. but yet they were kind, loving and understanding... so it is not always that if someone is treat a certain way they grow up that way themselves.
I am very sad for all who have been hurt as a child.. your homes should have been your safe haven.
Bless you all for turning out good teddybear
WALLOPS....YOURE RIGHT ON THAT PART,,,,I NEVER HIT MY SON ONCE WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP...I DIDNT WANT HIM TO HAVE TO CARRY THOSE FEELINGS HIS ENTIRE LIFE,,,AND PAIN ISNT THE REMEDY FOR CORRECTION
Pain is never the remedy! I think some parents RE-act rather than act to help a child know if they have done wrong. It is good as a parent to take a step back and think.. are we punishing or are we teaching?... Correcting a child should be done to teach them so they can learn .. not punish to satisfy our frustrations.
Glad that you found it in your heart Nam.. to know how to parent and teach. Being a parent is hard at times.. but we chose to bring our children into the world so we should love them on their journey. hug teddybear hug

I was not punished,as youngest kid of the family, that is why dunno I am here. laugh laugh
RRDreaming I fully agree, most parents or grandparents/Guardians do the best they can,but without realising it, they can do damage too.
Wallops thank you for the compliment.. I have made it my lifes Mission to become a better person, and thank God I am not hard or bitter.bouquet love There are good people in the World.
Interesting subject...

Well, I have had a few smacks myself (both from my mother, and the hardest ones from my father!) up till when I was a teenager.
I might have carried a few marks but... the hardest marks are the emotional ones which we carry all our lives unless we forgive. and thank our parents for the lessons.

Forgiveness is the key to healing

For me it was the belt/cat of nine tails or the hand. Not one smack or belt, but over and over.

I've forgiven my folks. Will I ever forget? Never.
