How common was corner time before or after a spanking in your childhood?

Very common. I usually got it before and after a spanking, or some other punishment like getting my washed out. Sometimes it was used by itself, or sometimes only before or after some other sort of punishment. Occasionally not at all. But I had pretty much any variation of it you could think of. Standing, kneeling, sitting, fully clothed, bare butt, etc.

In my childhood, corner time wasn’t as common as a direct spanking, but it did happen occasionally. If I got in trouble, my parents were more likely to scold me first, and if I kept pushing my luck, then came the spanking. Sometimes, though, if they were really upset, they’d send me to the corner first—probably to cool down themselves before deciding what to do next.

After a spanking, I don’t remember being sent to the corner much. It was usually ‘Go to your room’ or ‘Think about what you did.’ Looking back, I think the waiting and the ‘after-punishment’ silence were sometimes worse than the spanking itself.

Corner time used to be a punishment all on its own when I was a child. I had a tiny little stool I was made to sit on and every thing. I was frequently made to sit on it after receiving a spanking, it happened maybe around 80% of the time I received one.

I got corner time both before and after almost every spanking as a kid. Corner time was almost always done in an "open" part of the house where it could be witnessed by others. This became very humiliating as spankings continued into my teens.

Corner time?

I grew up hearing “ I got a bone to pick with you!” Words from mom that froze my blood!!

Another one was, “ I’ll give ‘ya ‘da back of my hand!”

No corner(s) for me. My era was when you got grabbed by the arm, told one or both of the above. It gave me pause!

Wasn’t spanked until adulthood and if my own choosing to have it done by someone’s hand, unrelated to me.

Spanking was the "go to" punishment in my house, and among all our family's friends when I was growing up; and they all seemed to have agreed on the same basic procedure, and given each other permission to "Spank them whenever you think they could use one." I got many spankings when I was growing up, from my parents, my friend's parents, and babysitters. They always began with the instruction, "Strip and stand in the corner." You stood there naked for anyone present to see, and waited until the spanker was ready to "warm you up." Then it depended on who was spanking you. Some used a hairbrush, some used a belt, some used a wood paddle, some bigger, some smaller, and my father used a strap made from leather industrial drive belting. Some also used a switch, a slender, flexible tree branch with the leaves stripped off. I think the switch was worst because the little rough places where the leaves had been always ended up cutting the skin during the spanking, and it left welts and little cuts. After the spanking you had to stand in the corner again, with your hands on your head, no rubbing, for as long as the spanker decided, long after you had cried it out.

I would be sent to the corner often after a spanking, which very much added to the shame. I was spanked in my bedroom so it wasnt particularly public, sometimes the door would be left open, but even the act of standing there with my bare red bottom showing was enough for me. As I got older and it became more formal I would tend to wait in the corner for a spanking too.

It wasn't really something I was aware of with others growing up, although one time visiting a house I saw one of the sons standing nose to wall in the hall. He was clothed and I don't know whether spanking was involved.

I never remember getting corner time after a spanking. I would usually go to my room and lay on my bed for a while nursing my sore red bottom.

Corner time after a spanking is a must usually it is about 15 minutes. Corner time is use for rubbing my sore bottom and reflecting on what i have done. A time to think and calm down.
