re: Kids of the 70's and 80's..Did your dad whip you with a belt back in the day...?

Born in 72, so kid years would be mid to late 70's-early 80's, and hell yes. My brother and I had a name for it, "The Big Belt" and we'd have to go get it out of his room before the said arse beating occurred. My father beat my arse worse, but my mother wasn't far behind. She'd get in these damn bitchy arse moods, and my brother and I would catch hell. She'd whip us with whatever she could find at the time. The metal end of a fly swatter was the worst.
