Do your / did your parents "ground" you?

My dad would ground me, but he would immediately forget. I usually would just get my asss kicked and then my punishment was over.

Hey, sounds like it sucks at home lately.  I have some words of wisdom for you, but I'm not going to drag your parents through the dirt in public, simply because you said "please email me."  So I've done that.  Keep an eye out for me, and we'll talk.\nOh, and for those who insist that you talk to them about it, I'll agree to a point, but right now it sounds like I wouldn't recommend it.

Used to,they are gone now.I lived near them by choice.As they got older,they  started needing my help.It was only fair to help my parents as they aged and hope that someone will help me if I live to be old.Not all parents are good to their children,but mine were good to me and I paid them back as they aged and was with both of them when they died. I have no regrets.Just didn't want to live next door to them,sometimes one of them would get into my personal business.Had to move 20 miles away.Close,but not too close.I would tell you that living close ,especially how dangerous things are getting in this world.As they age, they will need your help in more ways than one.Live as close as you can,but try to keep your life to yourself.My parents always cared for my well being,sometimes too much.Had to have that little bit of distance so I could live my life my way.

Melanie, six months - WOW!\n\nDancebaby, your mom loves you. I am sure grounding you means grounding herself as well.  I have read a few of your posts. It seems Dancebaby that you are having trouble behaving yourself. At 11, if you start behaving, the spankings and groundings will cease. Think about it hon.

Grounded means you can't do something. I get grounded from going to dances or grounded to the house for a week or to my room for a day. When I was younger if I was really bad I might get put to bed early. That is sort of grounded to your bed. Time out chair is sorta like grounding. Usually if I was bad enough to get grounded to my bed, I got spanked too. Grounding sucks!

Depending on the situation. When my parents are older I feel they should be the responsibilty of me and my siblings. The way I see it, they spent quite a few years looking after us, so we should do the same for them.

There's a mircale hapenning to me every week. But one that's really outstanding is that my parents never got along. Their marriage was a total wreck. In my childhood I used to see my parents fight and my mom full of brewses and everything. they eventually divorced. Two moths after i accepted Jesus as Savior, I started praying for them, and in 2 weeks they started getting along, and ever since (it's been 4 yrs now)we've been living together and they get along alot better than married couples. God be glorious!

Sometimes.  There are many things that bring forth aggression.  Sometimes it's frustration, sometimes it's ignorance, sometimes it's intolerance.  Quite often a person's aggression level is affected by his upbringing, not just from his parents but his/her close associates.

I completely agree.\n\nFirst of all, do parents sit down and actually talk with their children?  When their child has a different opinion from their own, do they discuss it?  \n\nWhen I was kid and had an issue with someone (or something) my parents would ask me why I felt the way I did, what were the motivating factors behind my feelings?  They then would challenge me to put myself in the other persons shoes, to come up with possible reasons why the other person would act the way they do.  I learned very young that it takes all kinds of opinions, and that every one of those opinions is absolutely, 100% correct, at least for that person.\n\nPeople just don't listen anymore.  They aren't willing to take a step back and entertain the idea that they may actually be wrong...or at the very least, that there are other ways to view things.\n\nI, for one, am a talker....I talk to my kids.  They know they are free to feel the way they do but they must learn to give others that same courtesy, respectfully.

I think your parents need you love, just like you need thiers, take it from there and always remember that they helped raise you and educate you the way they did, if it wasn't for thier efforts, you'ld be a lesser person than what you are today.\n\nSo when it comes to parents, I always deal on a platform of love, and sacrifice. Don't forget that most likely, they will not be around for that long.

My parents were negative influences.  They fought all the time and my dad would beat my mother up.   (later in life, I stopped him with a knife to his hand)  My mom's idea of retaliation was to cheat on him with several other men.  I was brought up in an angry home, and I was an angry person for many years.  The positive influence in my life is Jesus.  I'm still not the way I'd like to be, but my belief in him keeps me pretty much in line.

Quite a lot. But nothing great.\n\nMy sister's boyfriend worked on tv as a camera man, so any time they needed to feel the space in a program, or some idiot to do silly questions, or basically they needed someone to do something, he used to call me. You see, at the moment I didn't have better things to do. \n\nAlso, my parents are very religious, so they managed to get me on a religious program to talk about some kind of rubbish.\n\nAnd another time I was on the news, in the background. See, that day I didn't go to school to assist a party where some local band was playing, and they showed it on the news, and my mum saw me there, all drunk and dancing, instead of being at school, so you can imagine the sort of trouble they got me into.
