Abused? lol i swear that word goes around to much these days.


Glad ya told her off, kids need some good old fashion beatings these days!

Parents bring the bacon home so to speak and make sure the responsibilities are done at the end of the day....dont they deserve the big piece of chicken as Chris Rock put it....or cigarettes I guess in this case...we might all agree that the cigarettes are a bad thing but hey its her big piece of chicken...I think we all have our big pieces of chicken..we all might not agree on everyone elses chicken but hey its their chicken
To me, it's more about the fact that she reasoned that the child should not have candy because it was "not good for you" and they don't have "extra money"

And then she bought cigarettes - something that is one of the worst things for you - and usually takes up a HUGE chunk of your earnings.

I don't mind a parent using the money they make for themselves - it was just her justification - and then her purchase that made me chuckle...

when i was a kid i got hit with whatever was handy. It was not abuse back then it was getting what you deserved you little shiet.... well according to my dad it was.

the hits i knew were coming really did not stop me from making the bad decisions.

but thinking back i deserved 99% of the beating i took.

A little of original subject, but similar to some of the other posts. I'm so old that when I was a kid not only was it considered acceptable for my own parents to beat me but pretty much any other responsible adult, such as

1. My friends' parents when I was at their house
2. Teachers
3. Principal
4. Life guards

If I got a beating it wasn't anger at the authority figure that gave it to me, it was "What did you do that got you in trouble?"
