---- Does anyone else fantasize about being spanked by a mommy/daddy in a way that's free from anger or harshness, but still painful and embarrassing? Sort of like it's something that inevitably must be done to boys/girls when they've been naughty, but not because the parent is angry? "I know you're scared, sweetie, and it's ok to cry. I'm going to need to make your bottom very red and sore. Now lift up your arms so mommy can pull your pants and underwear down." ---
Mom never spanked in anger. Regretfully, sadly, even sorrow with determination to do what she had to do were the usual.
When I heard, "Tommy, mommy wants to talk to you about ---- " I knew from her tone a spanking was on the table. I'd also know she was more unhappy in many ways with the need to spank than she was unhappy with what I'd done, or not done.
The trigger might be a report from a neighbor .... "I met Mrs. XXX at the grocery store and she told me you and John were teasing Lucy (his sister) and really upset her. Is that right?" From there we'd talk about why, and if I blamed it on John she'd say, "no honey, you had a choice and I think you made a bad decision, now we have to decide what to do about it. Do you think you deserve to be punished?" That part of the conversation might include, "do you think this merits a spanking?" The tough question, "Do you think mommy should spank you?" Or, "Would you feel better if I gave you a spanking?" and "Would a spanking help you better in the future?" All this would be in a very calm, even gentle way often with the two of us sitting side by side on a bed, or a couple of kitchen chairs, with her taking my hand and asking me to look her in the eyes, not look at the floor.
Eventually, and likely more often than not, it would conclude with her saying, "Alright, Tommy, let's leave it but if something like this happens again I'm afraid I'll have to spank. Do you understand?"
Sometimes it would end with her saying, "I'm sorry Tommy. I have to spank you. You understand why, don't you?"
Sometimes I'd protest I didn't need a spanking and she'd say, "But I think you do, Tommy. Mommy has to spank you to help you be a good boy."
I'd protest I didn't want a spanking and she'd say, in a quiet and totally sympathetic voice, "I know, I know, I don't want to spank you either but it's something we need to do, don't we?"
If I agreed, and at some point, especially when I was older, I'd admit defeat and say, "not too hard ... please not too hard," and she'd say, "I wish that was possible Tommy but mommy has to give you a good spanking. I have to teach you a lesson. You know that, don't you?"
When I'd protest it would hurt, she'd say, "I know it will. A spanking has to hurt to work. Mommy has to make your bottom hurt. That's what a spanking is. You know that."
Finally mom would say, "You go to your bedroom. I'll be there in a couple of minutes to give you your spanking." Sometimes she'd say, "I'll give you your spanking at bedtime. I want you to think about what you've done and why mommy has to spank you."
Regardless of whether I got spanked then, or at bed time, she'd stand up from where we'd been sitting, hold out her arms, and say, "hug please." Those were such warm hugs and she might say while she was hugging me, "I'm sorry, Tommy. I really am so sorry I have to spank you."
A few months ago in another thread I spoke of this same sort of sad but resolute nurturing way mom spanked. Here, in part, is what I said:
"Then mom would sit beside me on the bed and soon after she'd be inserting the thermometer. While in place one hand would likely be on my bottom, the glass rod sticking up between her fingers while the other gently rubbed the small of my back and she asked how I was feeling. Sometimes this would lead to a discussion of my recent behavior. In general or a specific issue. This could lead to her saying. "I'm afraid mommy is going to have to spank you. You know this means a spanking, don't you?" I had little choice but to mumble a yes. She say, "very well then. Let's see what the thermometer says and then I'll get the suppositories and give you the spanking when I get back."
There would usually be more conversation of the sort I wrote about above than I shared in the other thread. Central though was the calm, regretful authority. There was nothing gentle about her spankings once started but they were delivered in a calm firm and loving way.
Sorry to write such a long message. Hope some find it interesting. I've found it good to remember these aspects of my spankings.
Footnote: When it was enema-time they too would be delivered with the same loving calm, regretful authority and like with a spanking she believed if it was going to be done it needed to be done well. A good spanking. A good enema.
