I Had A Strict Mother Growing Up

@Alfred22 Growing up I heard about how angry birthing moms were at the pain and the guys who had gotten them pregnant. Childbirth has improved since those days but a long labor is still very uncomfortable. You are right, memory does play with us!

@sarahcs At what point in your school caning did you get a good look at the cane the Headmistress was wielding? Did it have a crook handle?

@JayneA If they actually used the term "thrashing," it would have really scared me. While, for sure, any firm strokes of the cane constitute a thrashing, I would have found the use of that description very intimidating. Often euphemistic descriptions of a caning are employed: a "talk" with the Headmaster; your appointment with the Head, …

@MartinII girls school, the cane was regularly used

@sarahcs I take it you got it?

@MartinII yes i did ,i hurt so much

@sarahcs Me too if the wrong lady is holding it

@Rebecca54 Your up close and personal contact with her cane was most likely tactile rather than visual!

(My attempt at British understatement!) Did you even get a glimpse of it?

@Rebecca54 like me your eyes were looking away from it

@Denise61 Quite courageous of you to absorb three strokes and get through them. I am almost certain that I would be "commenting" way before the count had gotten to "Four."

@sarahcs yes I did Miss

@johnsonjelena45 That switch sounds very very painful Miss

@MsRachel It was fun for my mom.

@MsRachel were you spanked there growing up
