I was spanked a lot growing up. I didn't always get corner time, so when it happened I really hated it. Being sent to wait in the corner was worse than after-spanking corner time. At least afterwards my spanking was over...my behind still throbbed and stung but I was allowed to rub. Embarrassing for sure, bare and red and still sobbing, but anyone around had probably just seen my wild kicking and babyish bawling anyway.
But pre-spanking corner time was building shame and panic....OMG I'm going to get SPANKED I don't want a SPANKING!....Standing with my face to the corner, wondering what kind of spanking I was in for...spoon, spatula, belt? Worried about who might be around to watch...

My stepmother was random about it, sometimes I was fully dressed just waiting a few minutes until she was ready to bare and spank me. More often, I had to strip to top and panties and wait like that....even worse, a few times she would stick the wooden spoon or spatula down the back of my panties so the wood or plastic was pressing against my bare bottom and I felt humiliated and hopeless as I must have looked ridiculous with a spoon handle sticking up out of my panties!

Rachely--Very interesting observation! As you can see, I didn't have to wait in the corner before my spanking and enema. I simply had to wait in the bathroom for my Mom to come in and start the procedure. The corner was always a follow-up to the spanking. Our supplemental enema began when we were about 12.

RobinMichael--Not sure when it started, but I know the formal spankings with the hairbrush began when I turned school age, about six. The punishment enema was introduced when we were pre-teens, I would say twelve or eleven. The tannings continued until I was almost twenty.

Eli--It's not really so remarkable. I have a very good memory, which got me through Catholic school and also through graduate college. It also gave me a flair for foreign languages. I don't have a photographic memory, mind you, but after receiving some of those horrid spankings that kept me standing up for days, I would tend to remember them!

I didn't always get corner time after a spanking sometimes I would be sent straight to bed afterwards. If the spanking was earlier in the day I would be made to stand in the corner afterwards. When I was young it would generally last until a few minutes after I'd finished crying. When I was a teenager it was often 45 minutes with one of my sisters new romantic tapes playing (a style of music I loathed at the time)

Eli, I always felt sorry for my sisters when I had to watch them get spanked. I knew what pain they were enduring (ok, it wasn't the worst pain in the world, but enough to keep a girl standing for a while!) and I'm sure they felt the same way about me when my turn came.

Codrin, we never wanted supper after such an ordeal--we just wanted to get to bed! And if the girl was scheduled to be spanked after dinner, she did not get any because Mom did not want to spank a girl on a full stomach in case she threw up while being tanned!

Sooooooo did anyone ever get caught rubbing or looking around and earn MORE "paddywhacks"?

Wow, great story!! Ouch!!

😟 Sadly, but useful maybe. In my case, after a spanking I was deprived of super.

TL:DR

I remember corner time with my bright red bum on display. Always felt bad seeing my brother and sister get a spanking. We all spent our time standing there with our drawers down.
