Hard Ass!!!
Some may recall being clouted with a wooden spoon. Mothers favourite choice of punishment weapon.
Just so I wouldn't be hit with those, I took 3 of them out to the shed and put a slice on the underside near the head with a hacksaw blade.
She broke many a wooden spoon on my butt and kept cursing about breaking them all the time.
So I got the nickname Hard Ass.
To this day, she never knew why they kept breaking.
After a while, she then started with the flying slipper, which I managed to duck most of the time.

Dennis R's Morning Joke. Do these stairs take you to the third floor? No, I am afraid you will have to walk.

A little bit of that medicine today would do wonders.

I know of at least 2 houses where when the large Kitchen Cabinet/sideboard was finally moved after 40-50 years a treasure trove of missing wooden spoons was found

l used a wooden spoon on their bums but the children kept hiding it.The next tactic was ''wait till your dad gets home !''.
lf there was a fight between them they both got hit which soon stopped them doing it again but they were pretty good really.

After the whopping's we may have gotten as kids, I for one can honestly say I probably needed it on occasion and in the end no real harm was done. It was all a part of discipline but too many do-gooders would say, "Oh no. You can't lift a hand against a child".
From what I have seen over the years, a lot of the do-gooders have had more troublesome children than those that gave a spanking now and again. Discipline in moderation is the key.
I never had to raise a hand on my kids. I had them bluffed. After all, as an adult, you have a lot more knowledge and wisdom than any child.

Like to hear from members on how you were punished at school.
We were hit over the knuckles with a board rubber .

How many children did you have? You don't have to give them a hard wack l think l did more threatening than hitting.
l got the leather belt on my bum for something l didn't even do.

My parents didn’t ever use a wooden spoon, or other implements on us, & neither did I when I had my son. My mum nagged & threatened which in a way was worse, she’d still be reminding you several months later. I’ve always felt that hitting a child with some sort of implement is cruel, there are better ways to manage their behaviour. My son, & now my great nephews, learnt very quickly to not make Aunty Pat too annoyed, because they come off second best.
l did love this joke I screenshot it & sent it to my boy, another thing he missed out on.
