Did you ever get the cane at school?

[Super Nova]

I did a couple of times.

I got 3 of the best for sliding down the rail of a set of stairs. Never got 6 of the best.

Once i go a choice of detention or cane. So I went for the cane.

We had a math master that was known for jumping from a chair as he swing the cane.

Once in primary I got the 1 meter ruler over my arse.

Personally I think the cane was not such a bad thing. Kids today have no fear or respect of authority. The kids are now too soft.

I think parents of today are too soft on their kids!

I doubt my grand kids have ever been given a whack by their parents for misbehaving!

Not that I smacked my kids much but they did get an occasional smack!

I smacked my daughter twice in her life. When she was little and getting out of control. Didn't hurt her. I put her over my knee, pulled or pants down and a couple of slaps on the bare bottom. Warned I would do it again. The shock was enough. My wife and I had a laugh after. The reaction was instant, the effect was perfect.

I don't agree in beating kids or inflict real pain. The humiliations is enough.

Frequently.

I rebelled against the system and the useless teaches therein.

I use my facial expressions AND voice tones when I address my kids.

Together these tend to be quite powerful and pursuasive tools.

Occasionally though .... I have had to resort to threats and blackmail eg going to bed early because they're tired or they're not getting ice cream unless they do x y z. That sort of thing.

Having said all that I've had to (unfortunately) give all my kids a spank on the bottom a few times. It upset me greatly and I told them so immediately afterwards. I explained that their naughty behaviour left me with no choice.

Those few times where this happened involved serious potential harm of 1 child against another ( pushing the other down the stairs; trying to poke out the other's eye with a toy )

Dear Lord I'll never forget those 2 terrible incidents. It's very important that we supervise our children closely. That supervision rule also applies to my big kid whose name is Husband. Unfortunately he gets spanked regularly but to no avail. He even reckons he enjoys it <---- 🥺
