punish is one of those connotations though it does suggest a different relationship between the two people involved

smack is alright

Yea punish is definitely for a different relationship.

especially when in the middle of conversations you're asked to go get the spoon and pull down your own pants in front of your extended family :(

That's objectively awful.

I wanted to buy a computer, now because from what I can tell is a marriage penalty tax, I'm going to be paying the government $1500 and my wife hasn't been working so I'm gonna have to use our savings.

That's what you get for trying to spend your life with someone instead of being bitter and alone.
 
I did my taxes months ago. I can't stand having that weigh on me for so long, plus I got a neat return in the process.

oh yikes it was never that bad for me, and it stopped around five or six anyway so I can't really remember any of it.

My parents usually would go outside and gdt a branch from one of the trees. It was like getting hit with an improvised riding crop.

obviously i've never had sex but I'd like to think that I don't lead but don't let the other person be dominant either.

but something like that sounds too extreme
That's objectively awful.

thats why i can't see that side of butt hitting being sexual

oh yikes it was never that bad for me, and it stopped around five or six anyway so I can't really remember any of it.

I think it stopped when I was like 10. there were a few incidents like that and a bunch of not as bad ones but the rest was just threats. recently, my dad actually talked about how my grandfather spanked him when he was little and its really obvious that what he took from it was that the point was to instill fear

that sounds awful. my parents only threatened that but the worst they got was a plastic cooking spoon (they threatened wooden spoon also but i don't think they ever did it)

They're pretty fond of the whole "beat you until you figure it out" method of parenting. When you did good, you got the type of praise that someone would give a baby which just made me feel uncomfortable, and life continued as normal. And then for some reason they don't understand why I rarely speak to them. When your only settings are neutral and soap opera angry, it doesn't make for good conversation.

my dad was heavy on the negative reinforcement style parenting (though not as physical as yours sound).
typical cycle of him being upset with me:
"why did you do [x thing he didn't like]?"
"well i did it because of [y]"
"thats not a good reason, stop making excuses"

which turned into
"why did you do [x thing he didn't like]?"
"i don't know" or "i forget"
"how could you not know?"

which turned into
"why did you do [x thing he didn't like]?"
"..."
then he lectures me and i ignore him and eventually we make friends again and life goes on till the next time something happens

instead of praise i usually got "that was good but if you prepared more you could have done better"
worst

Ya for real I tried to think of Fuck Everything music and just couldn't.

Best I can come up with is a Father John Misty track.

black hole sun by soundgarden?

i don't know if it was their intention but wishing for a black hole to consume everything sounds like the ultimate fuck everything

Not quite like that. It was more like "Why did you do this? Are you retarded? Do I need to take you to the doctor to test for Asperger's Syndrome?"

If I remember correctly they said that because I used too much soap from the dispenser when I washed my hands.

yeah thats a bit worse and more arbitrary... I rarely ever got straight insults

Sometimes I get angry enough to just HIT someone!

tbh that gif just bothers me since its really choppy

It made it worse because I knew that they were pulling random words out of their ass. They never really fact checked things. They just took stuff and ran with it. That's why I wasn't allowed to have a Myspace account. They were afraid that a white van would immediately materialize in front of the house and take me away. Wasn't allowed to watch Pokemon in my aunt's house for the longest time because of rumored demonic subliminal messages. Went to a church meeting once while they talked about the threat of "the lollies" (the lolz) forcing young kids to do terrible things. Got guilt tripped for a full day because I asked what would happen if I was born a girl. I wasn't having identity issues or anything, it was just an off-hand question that I asked when I was around 9. I asked a lot of random shit when I was 9. Not sure why that one warranted special attention. And when I say guilt tripped, I mean they may as well have found a dozen needles loaded with heroin in my dresser.

I twisted my upper body wrong and my everything is in pain

Real talk, back when I was climbing wind turbines and ripped like jesus, I fucked my back up by pressing the "order" button at a sonic because I twisted wrong.

I know this because I understand that it happened, but I have no autobiographical memory of it happening

I hurt my back somehow after exercising once. I think I kinda didn't exercise properly or something, my back was a bit sore, and then later that night I bent down quick to pick something up and it was like lightning hit me. I was *fucked*. I couldn't even comprehend the pain I was in. I had to crawl to bed and if I even moved slightly the pain was so bad it made me gasp.

I would have gone to the ER but the idea of getting into the car was something I couldn't even comprehend.

Somehow the next day it was mostly cleared up, though, and I rapidly recovered. I still don't understand what the fuck happened. It was pain on a level that reclassified in my mind what "pain" meant -- and then in like a day it was gone.

Back pain is the worst. Mine back still hurts from time to time, today is such day

I'm self employed, so each quarter is different for me. Income, expenses... it's a mess.

Same with self-employed people. And law is such that you cannot calculate them yourself, unless you have proper education (so you need an accountant in most of the cases).

Had to go to the ER and get some pretty powerful muscle relaxers in order to not be in extreme and constant pain.

Yep, that's how my pain was, but it wouldn't go away and I had to drive myself to the ER :lol

sounds like the things my parents said taken actually seriously. pokemon is bad, no handheld games, don't interact with anyone on the internet, don't play outside without them around etc. I think my parents knew they had no good reason for most of the things though since my mom used generic phrases like "it'll rot your brain" i mean thats like not unstandard for conservative overconcerned parent i think

funny on the gender though. i remember my dad being concerned with that when i was like 5. I'd play with my sister's barbies with her, "something something you'll become a sissy la-la something something". self fulfilling prophesy i wonder?

Precisely my case. I spend an entire evening crunching numbers that then I have to send to my accountant because the tax filing procedure for business owners and self-employed people is such a complex mess nobody else knows how to navigate around it.
