implementing the stereotype maybe? girls less mischievous that boys? or the fact that they beat you coz they care for you a lot and want you to become a better person for the future maybe?
Chinese families favor sons over daughters and expect their son to be focused. The fact that they beat you for horsing around means that they are expecting a lot from you.
i am not chinese though; but i get what you're saying. if they continued to beat me like that, then i gotta agreed w/ xib .. i would've run away .. cuz that's no longer lesson parents are teaching kids but child abuse.
when i was a kid, i did some thing (i forgot what) my dad took the nearest thing, which was a plastic arrow from a bow and arrow set i had as a kid, whipped my ass to the point that the arrow snapped in half. shit hurt bad, it was like getting whipped. then afterwards, as a kid, being claustrophobic and all, he locked me in the basement, which was unfinished, pitch black (no lighting system installed), and i was shit scared.
I got everything in here except the chinese one and the bat(realli?)...but i got whipped with a rope coz the stick broke...had marks for a long time...
as soon as i was tall enough to reach where my mom hid the duster, i took it and broke it.... then came the belt program.
Got my lot from this feather duster and from my parent's hand... At school, my teacher used to have a thin,medium high cane stick...My friends and i used to hide it before the teacher comes in class.. haha,me too but my aunt also helped me totally agree with you
wat about the leather belt thats only used for whoppings? i used to put on 3 pairs of jeans and hope i dont get told to take it off
know what u mean, my grandma( mama- dad's mum )did that to me when i was small, locked me up cos i wouldnt stop crying...after that..i didnt like going over to her house or going near her in fact...haiii as for the feather duster, only a few times when me an my cousins wouldnt stop playing an was being 'loud' apparently..werent really allowed to do anything in my mama's house, no running around or being loud cos the neighbours that lived downstairs could hear us through their ceiling an then we'd get it...but it was only at my mama's house that had the feather duster, at my por por's house, diff story..it was fun being at my por por's, could do anything, auntie and uncles would play with us..etc..an cos it was just me an sis at that time, we were good..not naughty lol..but prob worst thing they did was just a slap an then some scolding..but it was alrite..not as bad as the feather duster.. we've got one in our home as well...hardly use it except in extreme cases when my bro or sis is being 'naughty'..but we've all grown up now, so we know what not to do.. lol
i got a huge dose of this program growing up..... my mom beat me every chance she got, she tried to make me one of those children geniuses.... like school --> home that was it...... i rebelled hard and she is still bitter about it all.... i really dislike her arrogant attitude now though..... she is hypocritical and condescending all the time now, i really don't know why....
I never got hit so hard that it would stay red for more than an hour. Haha...we didn't have a tung til, but we got whipped by those stretchy exercise bands. Also, sometimes by the sandals, but my bro and I got smart and bought her soft sandals so when she hit us it wouldn't hurt as much.
