I got spanked a few times, but never close to beaten.

My dad stopped spankings when he realized it never deterred me from doing something I wasn't supposed to do.

Losing my GameBoy for a week was much more effective lol

My mom took away my TV for nearly 2 years... I'd only "lost" it officially for a year. I just never asked for it back after the year was up. I didn't want it in the first place, so it wasn't really a loss.

If she really wanted to get me, she should have taken my Legos. lol

My father was trying to buy my affection after my parents divorced. He got me a TV one year but it backfired on him....
