Dads hitting over the head

Did your parents used to smack you across the head hard when they got annoyed at you? Just wondered since my dad has done since I was about 7 I think and it just makes me mad thinking about hit since i couldn't hit him back and had no way of releasing my ager unlike him. Ive always wondered if its the reason I sometimes feel lightheaded and the reason ive fainted 5 times since I was 11, I hope it not and I wouldnt accuse him but what do you think?
Erm, mine didn't, no. I would just ask him to stop, simple as that. I am sure it can't be good for you if he's hitting you hard.

Hmm, why does everyone on TSR seem to have psycho parents?
Have I just been extremely lucky not to have been hit/abused/assaulted/bullied by my parents?

And I have no idea about your situation, perhaps you should see a doctor about it?

He's stopped now because he knows I'l punch him back, it was when I was younger he did it.

Fainting 5 times hardly suggests anything major, but if you are worried then do go to your doctor.

It would be a bit over the top asking a doctor though, if you don't have psycho parents your either really nice or suck up to them :p:

Pansy.

Of couse it didn't do you any harm. I spent my youth getting smacked, getting in fights, falling off rocks, falling out of trees, cycling head-first into lamp posts - all the usual things a normal child gets up to. Children are not made of bloody glass and neither are you.

Absolutely, same here. Kids are more resilient than diamond. Fact.

ok, unless he hit you repeatedly with iron bar, frozen cat or other such heavy implement, then I doubt any lasting damage has been done. Except for asking sill y questions.

I used to get smacked on the bum and my ass hasn't fallen off or stopped working or anything.

Parents hitting is always a problem subject because you don't know how hard. I think the restriction now is "don't use reasonable force"- what is reasonable force? You could argue a tap on the wrist is reasonable force.

I used to get smacked, slapped on the wrist, although I never got hit on the head. Ermm... I don't know. I wouldn't advise it myself, but then again, I think a lot of kids need a good slap nowadays... they have no respect whatsoever. I got smacked when I was a kid and it did me no harm at all.

A parent only has to give a little tap on the wrist and they get people in the street glaring at them as if they've just taken an axe to their head. This country is going mad...

I'm thinking...deliberate...?
My parent's never hit me, my dad pushed me into a table once earlier this year when i tried to stop an argument with him and my mum but I can stand up for myself. I dont think it will have caused you permanent physical damage but I don't think that means it was right for him to do it
A clip around the head won't do you any harm- infact more kids need this thesedays cause they have no respect or manners- cheeky little bastards!
I don't think your parents are really meant to smack you around the head.....
