Uhhh… it was only the hand for me. Made it so if parents were preparing to punish me with pain, their hand would be stinging, and they could modify based off of that.

My cat and dog.

You’re joking, right? Why punish your pets too?!

It was edge and they stopped using the scale after I got cuts on thighs which made me unable to sit on chairs without being in pain.

Fuck them.

I had a cat shaped ruler and a dog shaped hanger.

That’s unfortunate.

I only got the spoon and belt. It gave me a horrible condition known as respect for others

I also got the (wooden) spoon and belt and it mostly made me avoid both of those items for years

That’s unfortunate.

You’d rather I’m beaten by a real cat and dog?

It's unfortunate that you were beaten at all, and beaten by a cat-themed hangar and dog-themed hangar. Can't imagine it made you inclined towards loving those animals.

To be honest, I don’t really think much of it these days. My parents did what their parents did, right or wrong? Who knows.

They still did their best for me regardless of mistakes they made and I’m an adult who doesn’t lack money despite growing up in poverty.

Hand and generally only when I did something pretty terrible (like play with electrical wiring in our old house).

Honorable mention for the time my mother threw a beanie baby at my forehead because I had angrily tossed it on the table and it bounced to hit her arm.

My parents just forced me to go outside as punishment because I hated the outdoors. Honestly, that was worse than the spanks.

Mostly by hand, Dad would use a belt whenever he beat me. Mom would pull my hair, my ears, or just slap me repeatedly hahaha

Oh on the bright side, I got this neat scar over my eye brow! At the time, it looked like an animal tried to claw my eye out and I'd joke about it in high school and go along with any fun theories or stories they made to explain it for me. But the truth was a lot simpler, Mom was upset about my B grade and I yanked away, so her nails caught my forehead and the cut got infected and they didn't take me to the doctors as they wanted good publicity and felt like the stinging was an adequate form of punishment. Something something reminder to do better in my AP course I think.

All the other scars aren't so public though but that's the coolest one I got because for a while, people thought i looked cool with this scar over my eye

We grew up baptist, so spankings were quite common. Belt & Hand.

Although my brothers and I used to ‘beat‘ each other with sticks while pretending to sword fight. Then I made a shoelace bow and managed to get the first hit in for quite a while, able to shoot sticks a minimum of 9-12 feet.
