>I have only been an occasional poster here, and was >surprised to see the forum went down and recently >re-started. What brought me back this time was last >weekend hearing a specific spanking promise while >waiting to be seated at a restaurant. In the waiting >area across from my husband and I, there was a young >family, mom, dad, and two small girls I estimate age >5 and 7. The dad asked the older girl if she had >cleaned her room as her mother had told her in the >morning. The girl hesitated a little and then said >yes. The dad asked "Did you really?" and she >reluctantly nodded her head. He said "Well I hope so, >because you need to do what your mom tells you, and if >you're fibbing, I'm gonna have to give you a butt >spanking with the wood spoon. Are you sure you >cleaned your room?" The girl nodded again and that >ended the discussion. > >That was the second time in just about five months >when I heard a parent openly discussing spanking in a >public place (the other indtance I shared here months >ago). > >Added to these, and a just a few other times in my >adult life when I've overheard an unfamiliar parent >quite confidently discuss spanking, one could >reasonably assume it's uncommon. However, also in my >adult life, I learned that virtually all the moms and >dads in my age bracket, and in my extended family >(brothers, sisters, cousins, and their spouses) use >spanking for their kids. In fact, I think all of them >don't just spank, but they give/gave some variation on >a quick (fifteen to twenty spanks in twenty to thirty >seconds) good old-fashioned spanking. My husband and I >were firm believers in spanking, and raised our two >great girls (now 20 and going on 17) with spanking >until about their thirteenth birthdays. Finally, I >can't say enough about having a neighbor friend, who >is also the mom of my oldest daughter's best childhood >friend. Not long after we met we spent time walking >and having coffee talks. Eventually we both learned >that good old fashioned spanking was practiced in both >of our families, and it became a recurring topic. > >Both my mother and my husband's mother are un-shy >advocates of spanking. They both share how back in >the "old days" (1960s and 1970s) parents were quite >open about discussing spanking, but they both say now >it's become taboo to discuss among people with whom >you can't completely trust. > >So, my gut sense is, spanking, even the good >old-fashioned variety, on the bare bottom and with a >hairbrush, paddle, or wood spoon (intended to STING >briefly, but unbearably) is probably alive and well, >but not widely discussed.
