To discipline you I mean, there is a lot of difference between actual abuse, as in, beating you to the point you bleed or get broken bones from being spanked or hit with the belt.

Yes, and I resent it
Vote for this if you think what they did was wrong, or if they actually abused you (you can call it abuse if they hit you for no reason, or broke/dislocate your bones or made you bleed)

Yes, but I don’t resent it
They hit you went you misbehave, as part as a disciplinary action, you still love them, and agree with this kind of punishment

No, they never raise their hand on me.
I don’t think I need to say anything more, except that we are talking about physical actions, here if your parents always yelled at you but never hit you, you have to vote for this one.

This was going to be a yes or no question, but since is not a public poll I decided to add the one for abuse. As for myself got disiplinate many times through my childhood when I did bad things, often with the belt, but I don’t resent anything of that, at all, your parents love you and want you to make the right decisions, those were lessons that I won’t forget, and now I’m actually glad that they did it, because they weren’t spoiling me, and that is worse.

When I was a little kid, my mom used to spank me. My dad only spanked me once. I still love my parents, and we all get along fine.
 
Yeah, both my parents used to spank me. They never spanked me hard though except once. I remember I spit in my dad's face and he used the belt on me, and he actually hit too hard and he was so sorry he did it he never spanked me again. My mom was usually the one to do the spanking. I didn't like it, but my parents never had to spank me for the same thing twice.
 
I got spanked and I agree with it. I'll admit I was a bastard at times and deserved, and at other times I may not have. But in the end, I turned out okay and so did all the other kids I know that grew up in the same type of enviroment. I mean, as long as they are truly doing it out of love, then it's fine in my opinion and even good for the kids.
 
I never did. I'm not sure if it would've helped me in the long run or not... but it probably wouldn't have hurt. lol Even so, I can't see myself doing it to my kids. I've never been a man of violence... at least not until I run out of brains. lol That rarely happens (not as an ego thing... I just can usually talk myself in and out of any situation)
 
Well yes but i must say i was very very naughty and very noisy.Well they had to care of 4 other kids to so i understand them.All the other were nice friendly and lovely but i had my own think going on.I always wanted to do what i wanted to do with out thinking of any thing else.
Well i still love them,and i miss my Mum very much.

Me by my self i never had and i never will holding up the hand of my kids,i talk with them and they understand me well.
 
i was discplined as a child, usually it was my dad, but when she had to mom did it. i do not resent my rents for doing it, it was never anything extreme, but i knew i was in the wrong before during and afterwards...

god i was an annoying little kid...
 
Yeah, but it was a while ago, and it was for stupid stuff, like if I didn't get my mom a beer (but I knew it would've happened anyway, lol). And one time for stealing my moms smokes, but I was like 6 or 7 years old, and had no intention on smoking them.
 
My mum has hit me when I was younger, worse one was when she threw a slipper at me. My dad has never raised a hand to me, although my step dad grabbed my neck hard once cause I had warts on my neck and wouldnt let my mum put the cream on cause it hurt.
 
Like Bei Bei, my parents did use the belt on us several times when we were growing up. Heh, I guess we deserved it, so I don't resent it. I suppose it made my brother and I respect them more in a way. We weren't afraid of them or anything...rather, we were afraid to do things we were not supposed to do anymore. So it helped us.
 
My mom smacked me once when I was little, and I think it was deserved.

Me and a friend were playing very roughly and I pushed him out into the street and a car was going by cause I thought it would be funny to scare him. Luckily it wasn't hard enough and he didn't get hit.

But my mom saw it from the inside and was furious. I think I was grounded for about a week afterwards.

Me and my friends used to fist fight all the time, so one smack from my mom wouldn't bother me. I was bad when I was a little girl. XD

My parents have never hit me. Only once was a spanked, but that was by my step dad and he never did it again. I probably started bawling and he felt bad. XD (I cry easy). I think I turned out alright without it though, but for some, I think it's needed. The worst is I was grounded for a month, and for what, I'm not telling. :P

I was, however, spanked by some people who lived with us who were my babysitters. If I got to loud, and didn't settle down after they told me once, they'd use a hand or belt. Thank goodness that only lasted about a month or so....
 
My mum hit me a couple of times and chased my older brother (Think he was like 9 or something) out the house with a high heel. Whenever she gets drunk and tries to deny it, we always bring up the times she hits us and chase my brother out the house with a high heel by saying "apart from that, when have I ever hit you?". I guess you can't win over someone who is drunk.
 
Uhmmmmm.
I had a few spankings here and there when I was growing up. My brother was usually the one who "beat me up". lol.
I did however get one hellacious beating from my father when I was 14. I mean it was so utterly noticable and bad that they sent me to the councelors office at school and questioned me. o_O
Do I resent it? No.
He stopped me from doing something unspeakable, so I'm glad I got the shit knocked out of me. =]

I don't see anything wrong with physically disiplining kids at all. The only people who object IMO are either:
a) sissies who resent their own parents beating them
b) people who've never been beaten
 
There is a world of difference between a smacking and a beating. I was never beaten by my parents, but I had a few slaps on the back of the legs or the bum. I was warned loads before it got that far though, so if i pushed the issue and pushed the issue I got a smack. Makes sense really, shows a kid boundries of what they can and can't do. If you keep doing something wrong, here's the consequences.
 
I was never hit as a kid, my parents didn't believe in it (as far as I know and can remember) I don't really agree with the whole thing, there are better ways to dicipline your child in my opinion.
