Eastern and western parents

What are thooooose?
Those are my chanclas!

I'm not sure it's really western/eastern... Or maybe my parents have lied to me about my family's origins!

like my parents never really beat me but my dad would grab my knuckles or back of my neck and stuff and squeeze which hurt pretty bad.

Ny mom never wore flip flops when I was growing up, I always got a wooden spoon, either across the hand or on the butt

Eh, wooden spoon for me or just hand. It was called the big bad spoon.

Growing up in Hawaii, the white parents were typically easier on their kids than the poly parents. Some of the polys were downright abusive.
