People From Around The World Share Their Parents' Strangest Punishments
We all got grounded as kids. Maybe spanked, or at least threatened with it. Put on time out. Those are pretty standard. But as you'll discover in this article, some parents out there take an altogether strange tack when it comes to disciplining their children. These out-of-the-mainstream punishments range from oddly sweet, to funny, to odd, to downright cruel. But they're all a little out there, one way or another.

I understand that parents want their kids to do well in school, but getting angry like that over a bad grade is soooo dumb, and rather counterproductive. My parents would yell at me if I wasn’t on the honor roll and say things that just made me feel like crap. Instead of going to them for help when I was struggling in school I talked as little about school with them as possible.
