Islandcool 0 #1 October 21, 2004 Now I'm starting to sound like an old cat. After surviving many years without kids in my life I find myself in the same household with a 16 year old kid. Man payback is a bitch and now I know what the hell my parents were talking about. I have turned to the internet to help me with this situation and I think this website may have the answers I'm looking for. http://maddox.xmission.com/beat.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islandcool 0 #7 October 21, 2004 This was "Dad's" personal favorite. I bet he didn't know it had a name. The one-handed chauffeur reach around: A quick reach around while you're driving to smack your kid and his friends too if they disrespect. Swerve the car back and forth for the full effect.

JohnMitchell 14 #12 October 21, 2004 i'm guessing you're the stepdad. That's a tough job. I've got two treenagers and two gonna-be-teenagers soon. They are pretty great kids, but still, sometimes, ya know. I don't think smacking works for anyone, though. It's usually just adding gas to the fire. That was a funny ass website, though.

Vallerina 2 #14 October 21, 2004 QuoteWho here got the belt I think I'm actually in the minority of people who didn't get spanked or hit or anything like that. The death stare from my mom was enough to shut me up when I acted like a brat. Now, nothing can stop me!There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islandcool 0 #15 October 21, 2004 No not the stepdad. I'm worse. I'm the mom's boyfriend. I stay out of their disputes but lastnight I felt Amy was being threatened and her son was getting out of hand. He was screaming at the top of his lungs at her and hands were waving everywhere. All I did was step between them and tell him to calm down. That's when I got "you're not my father!" Geeesh.... Like I really want that job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shmali 0 #17 October 21, 2004 I'm the eldest of four so i was always the example. I remember one time we were all inside the bedrooms and my two younger brothers did something to upset eachother, my mom comes in blazing and lays it on me without even asking a question. by the time she realized i was innocent (on this occasion at least) my other two siblings had shut up cause she just turned and stared them down. As for flying shoe, that was my mothers. that thing would come flying from around corners. it was like a heat seeking missile. but what can i say it worked. I turned out alright now didn't i.

usedtajump 1 #19 October 21, 2004 I'd comment on this but mom might see it and make me go to the tree for a switch or whip me with the buckle end of a belt. I turned out OK, didn't I?The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe me, I have the same problems with my 15 yo Stepson. So true. Me and my brother one day decided to hide all my dad's belts under the couch. It didn't take long before we broke a lamp or something wrestling in the house and he decided to whip us. He went for the belt and remembered that he couldn't find it that morning. He went in to the closet and tried to find another, all the while yelling at us to take a seat on the couch and not to move while he found a belt. He couldn't figure out where his belts were so he just kept looking and looking. By the time he got to the back of the closet, he found something of his that he forgot he had and started fiddling with it. My brother and me took the hint and silently snuck out of the house. I guess he forgot cause we never got that whippen, but many others. I wonder to this day if he remembers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gravityizsexy 0 #25 October 22, 2004 Oh man! I used to get my ass BEAT all the time! I remember: * "The Switch" * "The wooden spoon" * "The Belt" (never the metal part) * "Mouth full of a) soap b) hot sauce c) peppers Pops was more into "the stare" which just made him look retarded, so I laughed at him and got knocked in the back of the head... HARD too.... Last thing I remember was him throwing a big ass AC adapter, fought (yeah a fight) with my brother, and that was the end of discipline for me, my brother, and ironically my 6 year old sister at the time... who still till this day I believe hasn't gotten whooped more than twice. She's 15 now, and a stuck-up bitch! moral == BEAT YOUR KIDS!!! passionatly..... "'Someday is not a day in my week'" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
