[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mid-40's man here.  Grew up in Eastern Europe and then NYC.  My mom spanked me a couple of times.  Once, when I was 4 or so, my mom told my dad to spank me.  He took me in the room, closed the door, put me over his knee, put his hand over my butt and proceded to whip the back of his own hand with his belt (so that it sounded, to my mom, like he was actually hitting me).  Then he stood me up, showed me his red hand and said "look how your behavior is hurting your father."  I don't specifically remember any other punishment that I ever got but that stuck with me my whole life.  [/quote]

Wow.[/quote]

+1 .. did this ever happen again?  Did it make an impression on you as a kid (obviously did as an adult).[/quote]

No.  That was the one and only time that it ever happened.  I always remembered it.  Thinking about it now, it told me that he wouldn't hurt em, even if it meant that he would get hurt ... and it was up to me to protect him as well.  In a way, it was also the first secret that my dad and I had.[/quote]
