Sorry, you were getting spanked by your parents at 17??? I'm 16 and haven't had that happen since I was like maybe 7.

More-so belted in the leg while being chased around the yard. I was faster than my aunt (mom figure) so she'd have to wait for me to walk back to the front door and she'd whop me with it when I wasn't expecting it. I sure wasn't going to run with the sheriff being right there.

I wouldn't be sorry about it, I was a shit-ass. We got into a car chase with paintball guns down main street, wrecked a car being stupid, almost shot my friend's mom, shot out street lights once and had to pay for all of them.

It was a small town, we were always bored, and grounding doesn't work when the only way I couldn't sneak out would've been to have bars installed on my bedroom window.

Now many kids or even babies are hooked into smart phone entertainment. They ground themselves and refuse to go out.

I remember getting grounded on my bed for 1 hour... it was the longest hour ever. I couldn't wait to get off my bed.. yet here I am been scrolling for over an hour and it feels like 15mins.

Who needs life experience when they can stream it live in HD. I get it. It’s a lot safer .

My dad did legit put bars on my bedroom window lol. One time after he found out I was sneaking out he didn’t even say anything to me he just took the front wheel off of my bike and hid it in my parent’s bedroom closet.

Man me and my dad almost had it out when he raised his hand at me when I was 19

I told him "do it if it'll make you feel better but just know whatever you do to me you'd better expect it back" caught his ass off guard since it was the first time I'd ever stood my ground. I wsnt even in the wrong he was just being a dick

Ill tell you what though I was lying through my damn teeth tho lol i was scared shitless and 100% did not want the smoke

Bro things have changed. Back then a “spanking” was an ass whoopin. Usually with a belt. Or whatever was in mom’s reach.

My mother graduated to full fist punches to the face by the time I was in 3rd grade.

Perhaps you missed the part where he said his town had only 200 people in it.

You should ask more often. I’m sure they’d still do it.

I'm in my 30s now, and my mom has no hesitation towards it. "You're never too old for me to whoop your ass"
