My mom would give us the immediate punishment, and then my dad (depending on the severity of the *crime* so to speak) would supplement my mom's initial punishment and dole out the rest of the *sentence*. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259877 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:23:07 +0000 Rescuemom10 259877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally my mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259872 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:20:09 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 259872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both.</p> <p>My mom kept a wooden spoon under the driver seat of her van and would pull over on the side of the road and spank us. My dad would spank as at home with his hand, a belt,, or a switch (if we were really bad).</p> <p>when I was older, my mom was the one who would ground me. My dad would fill garbage bags up with my stuff and make me do chores to get it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259814 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:30:08 +0000 littlebug 259814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I recall, it was pretty even-handed. I think that was because my mom traveled a lot, so when she was out of town, Dad had no choice but to be the disciplinarian, and when she was home, he left it to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259806 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:26:52 +0000 blackbird 259806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad, typically, but my mom would pull the, "i'm so disappointed in you...." card, and i HATED it. It was 10x worse than time out or a spanking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259782 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:12:40 +0000 mrsjazz 259782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and dad were together until I was about 5--dad handled more of the discipline when they were together. After they split my mom was in charge all the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259774 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:09:46 +0000 Honeybee 259774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both, but they used much different tactics. My momw ould scream, yell, and ground me. My dad would give me this huge lecture about how much I disappointed him - that was way worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259773 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:09:32 +0000 MrsBrewer 259773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom, my dad worked 2nd shift, so my mom was pretty much a single parent at night! hahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259770 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:08:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 259770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my dad!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259745 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:55:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 259745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stepmom did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259690 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:28:40 +0000 chopsuey 259690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dad did.

However, I remember a couple times in HS that my dad was in charge of the punishment (grounding me) and he always gave in and let me leave since I would just annoy him until he couldn't stand it! haha</p> <p>OH and when he found beer in my car in HS he threatened to make me pour it in my cereal and eat it, but I never had too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-handled-discipline-issues-your-mom-or-dad#post-259681 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:24:34 +0000 autumnlove 259681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad was a softie so my mom was the bad cop! </p>
