All this spanking talk has me wondering, what did you do to get spanked or other punishment? Will you likely react the same c way with your LO?

I will start with a few of mine.

1) If I misspelled any words when I asked my mom to quiz me for a spelling test she would make me write each incorrect word 5 times until I spelled it correctly. She said this would teach me how to spell *and* not waste her time.

2) In third grade I described a teacher as a bitch and a classmate told on me. My parents duscussed why I felt that way and why I chose that word. My punishment was writing an apology letter to the teacher.

3) I TP'd some cars in the neighborhood with friends. My parents grounded me for a week because we were caught. My other friends were not punished. The grounding was just not visiting one of the friend's at her home.

4) I made a huge pancake batter mess outside that attracred bees while my mom was sick and slept. She just simply cleaned it up.

5) When my brother and I would cut up in the car, we lost our radio privileges. Instead of back & forth with a station for us and one for our parents, we would have to listed to several jazz songs or oldies in a row. Or if we were really bad, instead of eating out we would head back home.

DH thinks I was raised without discipline. I just think my parents simply didn't over react to alot of things.
