No

No, my mother used to threaten us with the wooden spoon but she never actually hit us with it :p

how nice

:laugh2:

Yep - never often as my mum had a "look" that we knew we had pushed it too far but when we did, we got a smack

Yes ,a few times,lol, but not harshly

Yes, though most of it was when I was younger, like six to eight years of age...

Yep. Wooden spoon. Belt. You name it.

hand held food mixer?

:laugh2:

My dad only gave me a little slap once, it broke my heart at the time.
My mother on the other hand was very handy with her hands, frying pans, slippers or anything else she could get her hands on to give you a good beating.
The only thing that stopped her was when I very calmly told her at 16 after the last time she thumped me black and blue that if she ever laid another finger on me then she would get the same back and more.

My Mum was the one who did the smacking. Always on the thigh and really, never hard. Dad just used to look disappointed in us, which in some ways was worse. My Grandmother smacked me once when I was about 7, I walked into the road and almost got wiped out by a car. I realise now she smacked me because in that moment she was relieved/terrified and a whole mixture of other emotions.

Oh Annie, my Mum had the very same look. Mums must have a death stare installed when they give birth. I bet you've got one....

Yes but not with any level of force and very rare

Yes, long and hard.

Yeah probably up until the age of like 10

I can only remember my Mum doing it once, my Dad never so it was very occasional, a look was enough tbf

yes

My mum only did it like twice but on the arm when I was about 6/7

Yep until a certain age we all did. Mainly corporal. The worst was with a belt -_-

my mum gave us the “look” as well

No

My mother used to slap my legs so hard she left her finger marks and when me and my brother argued (he was a massive bully) she grabbed us by the hair and actually cracked our heads together, she had a very short fuse. I asked her once if we could mash the potatoes on the cooker as they were always stone cold - she launched the whole boiling pan of spuds at me !

I can only ever remember my dad smacking me once on the legs after being pushed by my mother.

My mum was very fond of hitting with her wooden Dr Scholl's and other things that came to hand.
