My mother was one who believed in physical punishments. In our house, this gradually became the standard remedy for any sort of misbehaviour or disobedience. Although I don’t recall more than the occasional smack as a very young child, from when I was seven (and my sisters 10 and six) spankings in the more traditional […]
Too loud
When I was growing up in the 50s, spankings were common and my siblings and I knew that if we disobeyed, we were spanked. I remember one spanking very well. It involved me and my 13-year-old brother, Matt. I was 10 at the time. My brother and I were very close since we were the […]
