growing up mexican, a squinty eye/raised eyebrow was all it took to put the fear of God in my heart
JurassicPurrk
Hah, I'm also mexican and yep, that look was all it took to make me cut the shit as a kid.
hartmonica
My mother also used the eyebrow. She passed her mighty brow onto me. I can't wait to use it on my kids.
Moonmoonn
1/? Yes! Omfg my mom and my gma. When me and my sister would act up they would just turn their head and give that fuckn look and we would
2/2 cut our shit out real quick. We all have that mean look and everyone thinks we are mad all the time but them two look mean as fuck
Ispelgood
I have heard my "mean looks" referred to as resting bitch face. I was wondering why I have that but i guess maybe its a mexican thing x)
Resting bitch face lol well I guess I got a mean one because a lot of people say I look mean or too serious and that I need to smile more ha
I will get two opposite comments, " I've never seen you mad." or "You always look mad."

"FUCK, she even said my middle name." I'm 36 and that still makes me break out in a cold sweat.

The moment your parent uses your full name you know you fucked up hard. Especially if they use the name given to you in their native tongue.
That was my mother. "RUN. SHE'S GIVING US THE EYEBALL."

As a portuguese, It's the same with us, plus the wooden spoon to beat the sh*t out your childrens >_>

naughtydismutase
I never got threatened with a slipper, but countless times with the wooden spoon.
And the rolling pin
shadowchild2089
Have a Native American Grandmother. Super sonic flyswatter was some of my earliest fuck ups. Wooden spoon if we broke something.
Pearl2001
Slotted spatula. Metal. Hurt like a mofo and left marks.
My daughter got a wooden spoon used for the first time at 10y/o. The shock was great. I've never used a belt or a switch on her.
My grandmother used to beat my ass with a wooden spoon when I was disrespectfull :D
Up till then she'd only gotten plastic mixing spoons. Grandma doesn't have plastic mixing spoons. Don't lie to me at Grandma's.
matthevv9801
That is illegal to do in the USA and Canada, just saying.
Actually, unless you leave welts or bruises it isn't. I've worked with Social Services.
Probably American social services where they don't care about their children. Just look at the american public schools.
Brazilian, much the same except with the added fun of springy, springy switches...

MycurlyhairsaysIcantgoouttoday
In the South of USA, you get hit with belts and branches.
Had to cut your own switch, and if you picked a bad one, they'd use it till it broke, and make you get another one.
MyIDofagoodtime
Holy shit, my grandma did the same damn thing.
sparkledick
I had to go out and cut my own switch down here in Georgia. Mom said it hadda be as thick as her finger. She also broke a wooden spoon on me
nevergiveupneversurrender
If you brought in the wrong one, you had to go right back outside and pick another and would get it worse.
Krose13
My mom made me pick out mine a few times. I learned pretty quick the thinner ones hurt more and will whip around.
And if I was lucky I could tell how deep of shit I was in by how much of my name was used.
joojoogajoo
I would deliberately pick ones with thorns. I wanted him to know he was a ruthless bastard.
so are you a masochist now?
Nope. But when he had a thorny switch, he had to think a lot harder before hitting me with it. It worked out better.

I just hold up a finger to show them how many spanks await them at home.
That would definitely work as well! We normally got the vague "Just wait until I get you home"
Bent0916
Middle class white people.* Can confirm, lower class whites still bust asses.
Spanking is legal as long as it is with an open hand and no tools involved. It is the only form of physical punishment that is legal.
HotKnifeAlphonsa
Depends on the state some states anything goes so long as there are no red marks or bruises
I am from Canada and that is the law in all of Canada. Studies have shown that anything more than that is detrimental to your kids.
I am in the US I am not saying I agree with anything goes just stating how it goes

Ditto. Can't tell you how many spoons have broken over my ass, because I can't remember.
We got the wooden spoon... eventually you build up pain tolerance and the spoon must be swung harder... then the spoon broke.
Then dad would say "stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about." and whack us upside the head for noncompliance.
After which we were told "Now stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about."

Holy shit, my grandma did the same damn thing.
sparkledick
I had to go out and cut my own switch down here in Georgia. Mom said it hadda be as thick as her finger. She also broke a wooden spoon on me

If you brought in the wrong one, you had to go right back outside and pick another and would get it worse.
Krose13
My mom made me pick out mine a few times. I learned pretty quick the thinner ones hurt more and will whip around.
Krose13
And if I was lucky I could tell how deep of shit I was in by how much of my name was used.

I would deliberately pick ones with thorns. I wanted him to know he was a ruthless bastard.
