I lied to my mom like crazy, but she didn't hit me until I was a bit older, like 13. I think some kids are just liars, like me.

I was hit by my aunts though, because they were the ones who took care of me. They used belts or other things, but I never feared, or disliked them for it. I hated the hitting and pain for sure, but I knew it was my own fault anyway. They never hit me out of anger.

My mom hit me out of anger though. When I was 14, I took the car out and got it stuck in a flood. The flood water seeped into the car. I eventually got back (the car was fine aside from being dirty), she came barreling towards me at the front door with my "arnis" (wooden stick) and started hitting me with it in front of my friends. It was embarassing, but I got over it.

I don't think I will hit my own child though, unless she is ugly. If she was cute, she would be treated like a princess. Boys should be thrown off a cliff.
