SAY NO TO RULERS; THEY ARE DANGEROUS, like chess pieces. YOU DON'T SWALLOW CHESS PIECES! ESPECIALLY THE KING! SAY NO TO CHESS PIECES!

Switches..and the dreaded "Woodshed". Now that was a place where the naughty nature of children was ever so lovingly, conditioned out. In the good ol' days it was an actual woodshed. but when we, the progeny of the rehabilitated, were bad, we were gruffly reminded, no wait, this is my mother we're talking about, ok..from the deepest depths of hell, a shrieking blood curdling scream would call out: "let's go to the woodshed!!!" Holy s***..i just remembered the worst beating I've ever got, it was after i stole taffy, and the clerk caught me and called the cops..i was no more than 8...and the cop was pretty pissed--called out from his tired duty of eating donuts, all for a piece of candy and a trembling little girl...but boy did i get a piece of something when i got home!!! About my mother...does anyone remember American Beauty--the military dad of that strange guy who sells weed? well that scene where he beats his son for going in his room and showing that girl the Nazi plate...s***, that is exactly how my mom is. "you have no respect for anyone else's things!" I lmao when i saw that scene..albeit..a nervous sort of laughter.

My discipline was more psychological. My dad had this stick that was originally the trunk of a rose bush, so it was thick and covered with thorns. He used to prop it up in the corner of the room and informed me that if I was naughty in anyway he'd hit me with it. He never did.
The only time my parents have ever got physically violent with me was when I was 14 and my parents found out I had an eating disorder. I didn't want to eat the meal because it was gross and my dad thought is was to do with my eating disorder. He picked up the baked potato and rammed it into my mouth to try and force feed me. He was so forceful that he knocked my nose and gave me a nose bleed. I think he still feels guilty about it today.
But mostly it was all about screaming at me if I was really bad and slamming and banging things around us for dramatic effect.

When I was younger it was the dreaded bamboo stick which my mum kept on top of a wardrobe, hangers, books, okay just about anything or hand then it progressed into more verbal violence.

Similar device as many of you have mentioned, the "feather duster" or Gai Mo So or Tung Tew was a favorite. BTW, it wasnt the feather part that was used, that was just a decoy. It does bring a tear to the eye those days.

Question for you EAs... was it your asian parent or your white parent who hit you? Were any of you disciplined more by your white parent?

all my discipline was done by my father (White parent). The Irish don't have a problem with tough discipline Now imagine an Irish parent who grew up in an Asian society... Us Hogan boys especially the older ones really got hit. I'm just lucky my father cared enough to stop when he had to his brothers never had the same control. When my cousins were disciplined they would always come out bloody. Which is why the older boys aren't too keen on their fathers (not saying they don't respect them just they are hell bent on not becoming like them).
I am so grateful that my father although the oldest had control over his hands. And when I was hit I could always expect a long hug an hour later.

^^ that seems to be common among us eh My father had it bad....yup real old fashion Irish beating... Thank God he didn't do the same for me, not that I didn't have it bad either...just not as bad. Yeah, my father had it REALLY bad too. That's why he never hit me (my mum did)........but my dad was beaten senseless by his father......starting for the age of 8.....gee im lucky to have never gotten an Irish beating

I hear you on the "Irish upbringing"; For me, the beatings came from, and went to, my many siblings. We moved around alot and I'm sure in every house we lived there are blood stains on the walls and floors; most of it mine I'm sure. Once my brother pushed me through a window. BUT it's very effective in getting the bad blood out; we would quickly reconcile with a pop or beer afterwards. I don't mind the beatings I took, I regret some of the ones I gave. Ray Liotta said it best when he said, "The way I see it, we all have to take a beating sometime."

I didn't have a dad so all of the discipling in my house was done by my litttle 5'1" Japanese mom. I only ever remember being spanked once, but I have no clue what I could've done to deserve it. I was super well-behaved. ;D
When I became a teenager though my behavior got pretty ugly. I was a total brat, got caught doing bad things, and ended up grounded for about three months (an ETERNITY in teen years, like the WHOLE summer).
I don't EVER want to discipline my kids with physical violence. I think it only creates anger, fear and resentment and is totally hypocritical.

I'm glad my parents never gave me the so called "Irish upbringing" because if that were the case, do you know how screwed up I would be? They never laid a hand on me or my siblings because they believed that by doing so, it would have a profound impact on us as we grew up and into our adult years. Living in a physically abusive household can cause the child to develop aggressive tendencies and the inability to contain it.
I think most people have it all wrong when they think that in order to discipline a child you have to resort to physical violence. I believe that in order to discipline your children you have to be consistent in what you expect from your child and their behaviours.
