Did you grow up...?

no set rules for us.

but each child kind of inherently know what we can do & what we cant do, because lets be honest with ourselves, each one of us know bad from good.

but sometimes, we just would like to find out if we can get away with breaking the rules so speak.

but just the same, there wasnt that much punishment at our house but i did get punished once & i really found out what punishment is like.

but its different nowadays, most kids just do not have any respect or just dont care. so i believe a good set of house rules should be put in place in every household.

Yes, mam. When my father was alive, we cannot smoke nor drink. But he can!

And if we were late one bit in turning in when dusk falls, the door is closed and we have to sleep outside with the mosquitos. But mother always opens the door for us, when Dad gets to sleep.

I agree wih "Sweet_Angel" my mom also would make us get our own switches to be used.

One day she told me to get a switch to use on my brother so I went out and got a really thick one (stick instead of a switch), she decided to use it on me instead...boy I never did that again.

My father beleived in the occasional "spanking." Hell, my mom used to make us pick out our own switch, and it was funny when she came after us with the wiffel ball bat! Parents now a days are getting soft, kids need discipline. Plain and simple. I'm totally not against spanking.

Well, yes and no. The punishment was mental, and hearing that I shouldn't have done something was more of a pain than a whupping. I remember just once my dad took a ruler to me, and on the first hit it broke... â˜º

Oh..Hell Yes...A single rule broken would mean my ***.
It work for me...it teaches responsibility
Discipline is good for the young as long as it does not go to extremes.

as a family tradition, or should i say practice, we were sent to study in cebu as we were ready to attend kinder. we only get to go back to the provinces during summer and christmas break. my grandparents being more mellow had few house rules.

Grand pa

yes I was good boy but sometimes not so good

CuriousWoman

no.

Nope. My parents are broad-minded. But, if there's a major thing done by me too unpleasantly, then, I take the punishment.

when i was a little kid back in the philippines, yes! i don't quite remember what i've done wrong but the punishment were terrible! i would have to kneel down on green beans or salt with books on my hand...haha! horrifying! very strict dad! but until i moved to US, it was mostly scoldings and spankings! nothing severe...haha! or else it would have been child abuse...lol

lucky me ----NO but there was such thing as being grounded

diana

no...I grew up knowing the things which I should and should not do even if it wasn't told by my parents...maybe because we're brought up through their good examples...

ScarletRaven

Oh yeah... A broken vase usually meant doom back when I was a kid.
My mom would usually turn red with anger, and we all knew that the next words out of her mouth would be "DAPA!", accompanied by her heading to the nearest closet to get a leather belt. Said leather belt would usually leave a rather painful mark on my behind that may last well enough until the next week.

No set of rules at home when I was growing up except for having good manners, etc. (the usual things). I'm an only child but if I did make a big mistake, I get 3 chances. I got verbal warnings and reminders and bonus na kurot sometimes if I happened to do that mistake twice. And if I forgot and did whatever it is 3rd time (yeah, my mom never forgets!), my behind comes in contact with whatever my mom can grab...usually, "walis" (broom) if it's nearby, even her huge wallet...never a belt, wala kasing sinturon mama ko eh!!! :-) she never did make a welt or bruise me pag pinalo nya ko. i think i cried more because of the anticipation of pain and not that it was really painful.

no... not me... I grew up in a family full of love, and care... I was a good son, that's why they never punished me... only when I answer them back, then they scold me...

but punishment such as whipping me with rope or belt, no...
