When I'd cry they yelled 'shut up, get out of here'.
When I told them I got beat up after school the said "Then dont go there'
Once people realized I'd get the strap over anything, they'd tell my parents I did this or that and without even asking me I'd get strapped.
I grew up hating them and vowed to not be like them. I did discipline my kids in stages - 1st correct them, get the story; 2nd yell at them, take something away and 3rd spank, ground etc depending on age.
Now I'm old, kids are grown but we are very close and I'm proud of them.
