Re: What Should Happen To A Naughty Boy -- glen (6 boys paddled bare at 15+), 19:15:05 03/06/18 Tue Kate also took quite a liking to me. She was very warm and motherly to me, which only made my crush on her grow stronger. I began to imagine what it would be like to be spanked by her. I would lie in bed at night and replay in my head the times I had seen Denise or Kristie being spanked – but substituting myself as the naughty child. Then I heard her trot out this little ditty. “Spank a boy and do it right, trousers down, pants up tight. And if he smiles when he should frown, then spank him with his pants right down.” With that, Aunt Pam pulled my jeans down, exposing my underpants. My face was now near to the floor and I remember clearly the smell of the carpet, mixed with tobacco smoke as Doreen lit up a cigarette. Disclaimer: This post is the perspective of one local parent, however, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not endorse spanking as a form of punishment. You can read their position statement HERE.

Re: Spanking patterns, rituals; advantages, disadvantages and spanking effectiveness -- Vanessa (Abel’s Mom), 00:43:03 08/07/23 Mon For example, if my child has decided to start running off on me when we are in public places, particularly parking lots, the natural consequence would be to allow them to receive whatever injury would come from that behavior. Of course, we know this is extreme and not acceptable. Instead, my response would be to safely gather my child, and assuming that a clear warning was given before, to administer a spanking either in the enclosed car, or when we arrived home. Repeated acts of disobedience after other forms of discipline have been used. As I mentioned above, “time-out” usually works very well for my daughter for most significant behavioral issues. She actually is a kid who wants to do the right thing and she always has been that way. Providing clear verbal expectations generally leads her to make “good” choices. However, there are days with she is just plain defiant. She has ended up in timeout multiple times, has been told multiple times what the expected behavioral expectations are, and we have had multiple conversations discussing how I can help her manage her behaviors and emotions more positively; and still, misbehavior occurs. At this point, spanking is used in our house. It is not a surprise, it is not unexpected. She knows this is what will occur if misbehavior continues to occur. Re: Spanking while dressed nice or in jeans, shorts, skirt? -- Vanessa (Abel’s Mom), 01:03:12 10/18/23 Wed Instead, I am advocating for a form of discipline that allows the parent and child to have an understanding of each other, in the sense of boundaries and limits, in which when the child crosses a clearly set boundary, there is a consequence.As far as experience goes, I have seen it all, felt it too – ouch! -- Siobhan, 16:32:52 08/08/23 Tue

Finally, with Dad staying behind to finish his beer and chat with Adam’s father, Mum and I headed home. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary as we crossed the road to our house. Once home, I went up to my bedroom, changed into my pyjamas and got ready for bed. A woman experienced with corporal punishment discovers _real_ discipline when her new boyfriend puts her over his knee. (1,439 words.) And while there have certainly been cases when people have taken spanking too far, I do believe that in many instances, it is a loving, and appropriate, form of discipline. I did find the atmosphere of spanking that was around in every facet of cultural life quite exciting; forbidden, terrifying, and yet intriguing. At my primary school I was once sent to the headmaster for playfully spanking a girl’s bottom – but instead of getting the cane (which is what usually happened if you were sent to the head) he just scooped me up in one movement, slapped my behind three times and told me to never to do that again. I was otherwise a model pupil, so I guess I’d earned some credit points.

I could see where this was going! I could see where I was going, too – across Adams mum’s knee! It was a proper set up, an ambush! Things were starting to fall into place. The two mothers even used the same language. Re: Spanking patterns, rituals; advantages, disadvantages and spanking effectiveness -- Stephanie, 13:16:06 08/07/23 Mon Dad spanked, but Mom was the primary disciplinarian in the household. She had been a classroom teacher for several years until the older of my brothers was born and then she became a stay-at-home mom. Spankings were not an everyday event at our house but they were not rare either. I would say I earned one a month on average in my peak years from 10 to 14, then a handful after that until my last.
