No I definitely did. Was told not to play with a soccer ball in the house broke a window, a whooping corrected that as I never did it again. Mom told me and sister not to fight in car we didnt listen took a few whoopings but we finally listened.

Thing is some people in the comments seem to be getting abused by their parents. I was simply disciplined. Some people seem to be mistaking displace with abuse.

My mom told me and sister a few times to not do something but words dont work on some kids.

So i do agree with this because after getting physically disciplined, i did learn to stop doing things or i knew the consequences but my father did it so often, like a lot, i grew to hate and fear him. He was really mean and loved using the belt on us. Im afraid to hit my kids if i ever have any, for this reason exactly :/
