How many of you had nurses in your lives growing?

As I have said many times here, my mother was a nurse by training. What am I am asking is how many of you had mothers, grandmothers or aunts that were nurses. If so, do you think that you received more enemas growing up than your friends providing that you could get friends to talk about enemas? I always felt that I received more enemas growing up than my friends for I didn't need to be constipated to receive an enema. All I had to do what appear a little our of sorts and out came the enema bag, Let me make myself perfectly clear. I am not applying that I was abused. On the contrary, I was anything but. In fact, mother being part translator and nurse also had more than a little con woman in her and she could talk me into almost anything. She had a way of conning me into the enema with concepts like think how much better you will feel when it's over. We'll get whatever is making you feel poorly out of you and you'll be right as rain. I never knew what was allegedly right about rain.

My paternal grandmother was a nurse, strangely she never gave me one, even if she advocated for it. In my kid years it was always the great grandmother the giver of choice. While later on aunts came along. Mother always the last choice. After that if there was a need and my wife not around, I turned to my sister. I have to say that nurses, probably because of their job, have always been very open toward the practice and I number a few among my enema friends. None Italian or American though.... British, German, Polish, Romanian and Philippinas....

My grandmother was a retired Registered Nurse and a firm believer in enemas for kids, teenagers, and adults. It didn’t matter who you were, if she thought you needed an enema, she’d say so. With kids, she’d take them to the bathroom and give them an enema. But with teenagers and adults, she’d tell them they needed one and expected them to take care of themselves. To that end, she taught her two younger daughters how to take care of themselves as preteens, then gave them the job of doing our evening bath. Which included enemas and the occasional spanking. Once that happened, she’d tell one of the girls to take care of us, whenever we needed an enema. And like her mother, mom was just as quick to give us enemas for the same reasons grandma did. Like being moody, out of sorts, not eating normally, or being constipated were just a few of the reasons we received enemas.

We had a neighbor who was a nurse and at least twice I remember her present when I received an enema from my mother.

My father's sister was a nurse, two of my mother's brothers married nurses, so YES there were nurses in the family. It most definitely led to me receiving more enemas growing up. When the family got together for holidays, birthdays, or other events there was always talk among the women of enemas: whose child had gotten them recently, whose kids were about to get one, how much should be given, best solutions, how old before a full bag should be given - and more. No thought was given about privacy of the cousins being spoken about.

In the case of my father's sister - she actually administered enemas on the occasions I vacationed with her. She was not the

aunt of naughty stories, rather, she was a spinster who just tolerated children, and her enemas were clinical, no nonsense affairs. She travelled with a fountain syringe and seemed to always find a reason to use it!

My mother did not need much urging to administer a good clean out, but she most definitely was influenced by the advice of the aunts who were nurses.

No nurse relatives, part of me wishes there had been......

I dated a few. I knew some from

My work. I have some in my family.,

While I have heard my mother discuss and recommend enemas with her friend, I never heard her say anything directly about me like "I gave Diane an enema."
