Dad was usually all bluster — “Don’t make me come up there!” as my sister and I laughed it off. He also traveled a lot on business, so Mom was stuck with the discipline. And I was a handful.
She used to beat my ass with a wooden hairbrush. |

It really depends on what I had done.
Mom anything from a stern talking to a wooden spoon on whatever part of the body she could reach. I found out the hard way if I ran she would smack me in the back of the head or across the shoulders. Dad was anything from a switch which I had to cut and it better not be big or flimsy. It had to be just right or you had to go get another one to being punched and kicked once I was down. I spent a year in a partial body cast from having my sternum broke by him. I barely speak to him even now some 37 years later.

Dad's go-to was a paddle he made out of a 2×4, with an evil face drawn on, and a tally for me and my sister. First one to 5 owed him money for his services.
Also, we had to hold absolutely still and take a direct shot. If he missed or wasn't satisfied, it didn't count. He was an opportunist, though. Whatever was handy, be it a hot wheels track, belt, hand, air compressor hose, my own BB gun (don't shoot what you're not supposed to), he was always ready. Mom tried, but just didn't have the upper body strength. |

My mom would slap us. It got to the point that it never hurt anymore. She figured that out and would say “wait till your dad gets home”.
We’d wait and hear him pull up. We’d go hide somewhere but could hear that familiar sound of a belt going through belt loops at 50 MPH. Then he’d whip our asses with it. Never bare ass. We learned our lesson pretty fast. |

They would take away my video games. That was terrible.
I'd rather prefer the belt or the switch.

I didn’t ever get the belt. Probably bc my parents didn’t have to use it.
If I ****ed up, I had to do manual labor around the house. Pick weeds, clean the house, fold all laundry, etc. Brother and I ****ed up badly 1 time and we went to my dad’s friends farm in the country. Our entire weekend was spent doing manual labor. Pick up horse shit, clean shit out of the chicken coup, etc. Basically I picked up shit from every animal 20 hours of that weekend in 90+ degree heat and missed hanging with friends. Needless to say I didn’t **** up badly like that again

The following year he needed me on the O-Line / D-Line and he was hyper competitive...so he apologized in front of everybody per my request. Really surprised me.

One of many chores I had around the house, with a single mother and a sickly brother was mowing the lawn in a timely fashion, or more importantly, when told to.
When after putting it off for the afternoon, mom called me in from playing neighborhood ball and presented me with a steak knife. I spent the next hour cutting the lawn the hard way, when lesson was learned, and I could finish with our rotary push mower, old style. Funny, just laughing about this with her last week. |

My mom only ever hit me once and that was with a metal spatula on the ass. My dad was forced to leave when I was 6 months old because he tried to suffocate me to stop me from crying.
