Yeah, once, by my Dad when I was 7. He never had to do it again, I learned my lesson. |

I can think of one time my mom smacked my cheek (and boy did I deserve it!), but it wasn't a real, hard slap. I don't think I've ever been really slapped. |
| dora |
Yes, when I was little.

What had you done? |
| Enheduanna | | (reply to Biggles) posted 9-Oct-2003 11:47am |
I had said something really rude to her--I don't remember what specifically, but I know it was way out of line! |

Yes. What else are parents for? |
| Hyena |
Tons. Not since I left my parents - my mom used to do that all the time. |

I've been slapped quite a few times. A couple of boyfriends knocked me around from time to time. My older brother were constantly hitting me or slapping me. They used to grab my hands and make me slap myself, then say, "Why are you hitting yourself, Mandi?" It drove me insane! And, my 9th grade science teacher slapped me once, but he soon regretted it.
My parents never slapped me, but there were plenty of times I probably deserved it, especially during the teen years. |

No, thank goodness. |

Yes, in fact I was backhanded across the living room by my grandmother when I was 16 because I stayed after school for a half-hour to visit at a friend's house. I was expected to come straight home from school each and everyday and I decided to rebel and not do it that time. I ended up with a split lip from that encounter. |
| caviartaste |
Yep....my best friend was tickling me so I slapped her and she slapped me back - in the face! |
| DeeDee17 |
Not that I can remember, but others have been slapped across the face by me  |
| mandy |
Yes, as a child. My mother would slap me across the face. |

Oh, tell me about it. Every girl should have a big brother! Growing up, I went through hell with them. The funny thing is that even though I knew they were going to pick on me, I'd go harass them. I guess, in some weird way, I liked the attention or something.  When I was little, I would get these horrible ear infections. One night, when I was about 7, my ear was hurting so bad that I was screaming in pain. My mom decided to take me to the ER because she didn't want me to be in pain all night, until the doctor opened the next morning. Anyway, we get to the ER and the nurse comes in and looks me over, then leaves. A few minutes later, a doctor came in and got my mom then another doctor came in and talked to me. This doctor was asking me if my parents beat me and stuff. The other doctor was asking my mom about abuse. They were going to call the cops because I had bruises. Finally, a nurse that my mom knew found out what was going on and talked to the doctors. When you are a girl with 2 older brothers, you're bound to have bruises. They'd hit me and put bruises on me, but most of them came from me trying to be "one of the guys." I climbed trees, ramped my bike off hills, played football, and all that good stuff. |

Want me to slap you around a bit? |
| justjulie | | (reply to Amanda) posted 10-Oct-2003 6:45am |
awwww geez....don't you just love 'authorities'? I had bruises all the time too...i think about this exact thing A LOT w/ my son, he constantly has bruises on his legs and stuff, i'm willing to bet that your boy does too, anyhow...am freaked that if someone sees all of the bruises on him, they'll think that i beat him or something, but tis totally not the case, he's a little boy for crying out loud...my niece is the same way, a tom boyish type of little girl she's always got bruises and scratches on her face and stuff like that, plus she's pretty fair skinned so anything and EVERYTHING shows up on her, like a white pencil on black paper...i mean that's nice and fine that people who are in authority type of positions are looking out for children, but i just think that they are far too quick to jump to a conclusion... like my brother's girlfriend...she was in the store once not too long ago w/ her 2 girls, (she's a great mom by the way), and the older girl started to 'chant' in the store, like 'we want cookies, we want cookies'. now, my bros girlfriend is quite frank w/ her kids, and she said to her daughter, please stop chanting, but she kept going, so then she said, do you want me to beat you? (she's never beat her kids, but is a good threat, similar to the threat that me and my bro always got when we acted up in the car, my folks would always ask if they should stop the car and let us out so we could walk home..they never made us walk home, but was a good threat all the same) but somebody overheard her, and called the cops on her...what a mess it all was. all i can say is, is obviously the person who called the cops wasn't a parent...  |

Yes, I have been a couple times |

I have kids,haven't hit them once.they behave well.But if they are bad My wife usually takes care of it by like telling them no tv for a week.A lot of times parents hit their kids just because of stress. When I have stress I take a mile walk.My wife told me one time there was a man in the grocery store standing in line in front of her with an infant and he hit it for no reason and the baby was screaming. |

I know exactly what you mean. Some people just jump to conclusions without thinking about other reasons a child might have bruises.
Email me at blue_eyed_angel39180@yahoo.com. Okay? |
LindaH  | | (reply to Amanda) posted 10-Oct-2003 2:34pm |
Those kind of conclusion-jumpers bug me. I can think of a lot of things people assume without considering 'innocent' possibilities. |
| mandy | | (reply to Wicksy) posted 10-Oct-2003 2:40pm |
Please please please...and pull my hair?  and call me horrid names? and give me a good hiding? I've been so so bad and I deserve the worst of punishments.... |
| Amanda | | (reply to LindaH) posted 10-Oct-2003 3:43pm |
I know it. It bugs me, too. Just because you see a kid with a bruise doesn't mean the parent(s) put it there. If I see bruises on a child I know (friend of my son's, family or friends kid, etc.) I might ask questions, but I wouldn't accuse anybody of abusing their kid(s) unless I knew for sure. |
| LindaH | | (reply to Amanda) posted 10-Oct-2003 3:51pm |
Yep. There's also a lot of things a kid could say that would trigger a weird reaction in these types of people. If a kid said "my dad is mean" it might not mean anything other than he wouldn't let the kid wear his favorite shirt to school because it was in the wash. |
| Amanda | | (reply to LindaH) posted 10-Oct-2003 4:04pm |
Oh, that is so true. Last week my son told my dad that I was mean and he wanted me to go to a new home and not be his mom anymore. My dad asked me what on earth I had done to him. I think he was mad because I wouldn't let him eat ice cream for breakfast that morning. It broke my heart that he said it, but kids will be kids. He's only 4, so I know (hope) he didn't mean it.
He also pulls the "I don't like you anymore" routine when I pick out his clothes to go somewhere. Normally, I let him choose his own clothes, but if he's going to church or something, I pick out his clothes. |
| LindaH | | (reply to Amanda) posted 10-Oct-2003 4:21pm |
I think there are some people who are so attached to their first reaction that they are afraid to examine it, for fear they would be "rationalizing" it. The result is that their reactions are, more often than not, irrational. |

Yes, by this weird woman at university who fancied me but slapped me when I said I wasn't interested. |
| Biggles | | (reply to icurok) posted 18-Nov-2003 9:02am |
 What did you do? |
| icurok | | (reply to Biggles) posted 18-Nov-2003 10:29am |
Smiled politely and walked away. I didn't feel like inflaming the situation. |
| Biggles | | (reply to icurok) posted 18-Nov-2003 10:48am |
Do you look back and laugh? |
| icurok | | (reply to Biggles) posted 18-Nov-2003 11:13am |
Fortunately, I can look back at most things and laugh. I mean, wouldn't you? At least I can say I got slapped in the face. Makes me sound almost remotely interesting. |

Yes, by my mum a couple of times when I was a terrible teen. |
| ElvisFan67 | | posted 28-Dec-2003 5:09pm |
A few times when I was a kid. |

Mostly Dad--and boy did it HURT! |
| Amanda |
I'll bet it did! Luckily, my parents never slapped me. I deserved it quite a few times, though. |
| ElvisFan67 | | (reply to Amanda) posted 28-Dec-2003 8:01pm |
It was kind of embarrassing for me, too, I'll admit. |
