I received assbeatings as a kid. Pretty sure they were all warranted, though some I could call a badge of honor and take pride in having gotten a whooping. Some were outright comical looking back.

Funny thing talking to my kids now that they’re out of college, they say the same thing... and it’s subject of many laughs for them nowadays, just how mine are for me.

Goggles, you can parrot as many articles on what the so-called “experts” have to say, I’ll happily go with what’s worked in my family for generations and it boils down to the old saying “Spare the rod, spoil the child.”
