Both my parents had belts - but seldom had to use them. Because when they did - we knew there would be consequences to our actions.
Disciplinary actions included restriction to home & property for a period of time. Loss of allowance. Extra chores to be done.
My Mom has a wide belt folded in two and it hung on the rolling cart handle in her kitchen.
Dad would just slide his thin belt out from his trousers. Once the belt was out - it was not going back in until used across our butts. Didn't matter if this was in public. Dad had his limitations of what he'd put up with.
Well none of use went to prison. We all graduated high school and eventually got higher degrees. Were employed our entire lives.
How was your upbringing?
