Raise Your Hand if Your Mama Ever Put Hot Sauce in Your Mouth as Punishment...

[LaylaMonroe]

Okay, so maybe you didn't get the hot sauce. But did you get any other creative punishments, other than a spanking or "time-out" or being grounded?

This lady was arrested and charged with misdemeanor child abuse after she went on Dr. Phil and the viewers called the police on her (and her police officer husband) for showing a video of herself making her son hold hot sauce in his mouth for lying.

That would have been a treat for me. I've been eating hot wings since
i was like 3.

I can't think of any but I've seen "wash your mouth out with soap" taken literally.

IRT the thread, my grandmother (and my mother, aunts, etc) believed in punishing us in a way that related to whatever we did. If we touched something we shouldn't have touched or stole something, we got the switch to our hands. If we lied, said a bad word, or were being fresh at the mouth, we got hit on the tongue (especially with Nana) or our mouths washed out with soap. If we went somewhere we weren't supposed to go, or walked in the living room, we got the switch to the bottoms of our feet (again, that was Nana).

If she didn't know who broke the lamp and nobody would admit it, we all had to line up and get the switch to our hands, one by one.

And she was also good at making us eat nasty things as punishment (like wheat germ and cod liver oil with molasses). I would rather get the switch because I had a weak stomach (still do). I will throw up over that joint...

No creativity here it was straight booty besides those slave whippinz I use to get.  Mom would be swinging indiscriminately to just obtain contact.  I had to cover my head and face.      She got an "F" for beatdowns.  Everyone else, grandma, granddad, dad, teachers, and aunts were technically correct.

[LaylaMonroe]

LOL @ swinging indiscriminately

I think the worst thing about my mother's spankings was that she would give a lecture first, and a lot of times, she'd be talking for so long that it seemed like she either forgot or changed her mind about the spanking. I mean, after an hour of a calm, loving lecture, you really don't expect to STILL get a spanking.

I mean, my mama would take phone calls, go downstairs and tend to my father, change my baby sister's diaper, check the food in the oven, and still come back upstairs in between and pick up the lecture wherever she left off. I would SWEAR she had changed her mind.

Then, she'd say "okay, baby, lay down on the bed." And I'd be like "but Maaaaaaaaaaaa????!!"



My father, on the other hand, would come home from work, walking through the front door kicking his shoes off and unbuckling his belt at the same time, bellowing "Get downstairs! NOWWWW!!!!" (And you didn't bother to ask who he wanted to come down... you just KNEW when it was you... lol). As soon as you appear, he's swinging... "you wanna talk back to the teachers?? YOU WANNA TALK BACK TO THE TEACHERS???!!!! What *whap* did *whap* I *whap* tell *whap* you *whap*......"

OH MY!!!! This is my dad to the tee!!!!!!

My mother.... you can forget it. The woman is crazy LOL! She'll have a switch in one hand and a shoe in the other. If you broke the switch, it would be replaced with three more and STILL the shoe. She was a mad woman and mega strong!!!

[JustBritt]

Smh. Child abuse. Lol jk


My worst one was when my mom allowed my step dad to spank me. I was SO through with her. I'm still not over that! Lol.

Yeah, I'm not over that either.

I think stepparents should only be permitted to spank in VERY SPECIAL circumstances, and as often as possible, they should let the biological parents do the spanking.

[JustBritt]

And I guess I was so upset by it because my dad NEVER laid a had on me. And for someone who I didn't even like at the time to do that....yeah I was heated!

ROFL @ your mama!! LOL!!! That's like my grandmother. It's a wonder she never broke any of our teeth. She was a hairdresser, and we were always around her salon. If one of us mouthed off, it was nothing for her to pop us in the mouth with a brush or whatever styling tool was in her hand at the moment. That woman is NUTS!

I still remember the time she slapped my mama for getting smart. Nana just doesn't play that... she doesn't care how grown you are!

As a matter of fact, a few years ago, my cousin said something smart to her (he had to be like 28 or so at the time) and she made him come over to where she was sitting and bend down so she could twist his lips!

ROFL!!! Yep thats how I plan to do it.

But in regards to the original question. No nothing creative at all.

My dad was a belt guy, My mom was a whatever she had in her hand.

[sjonathan02]

When my dad was around he 'spanked my hand' when I stole something (pretty sure it was some kind of food).


My mother put hot sauce on my thumbs so I would stop sucking them.


My mother beat me with my brother's shoe (which had a wooden heel).


Then, there are the extension chord beatings.

She dual wielded?  That's a pretty advanced technique.

I only got one of those.  It wasn't pleasant.

I may have received two but there's nothing like the first time. 

[Cheetara23]

Nothing creative here..... my mother is Heavy handed though, so those spankings brought the lesson home. She spanked me so bad one time that my sister told me the next day that my mom had a big welt on her hand.... I think after that one, she never had to beat me again. I learned the lesson painfully but sure wasn't Traumatized.

Yea man...mama didn't play. I remember I pushed my brother into the wall and the wall caved in. You talkin about a whoopin?!? I started screaming "WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?"as soon as I saw the wall cave in. My mom told me to wait in my room. She came in, closed the door and went iiiin on my body. Belts, switches, hands in my face, behind, arms, everywhere...if you grabbed her arm, it meant extra whacks. She's fast too. Even now, when she gets in her playful mood, she wants wrestle and tackle you to the ground. I've yet to win .
