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

Needless to say, I never sassed my mom again.

No ,I should think after that, Sean, you never did sass her again!!!

While growing up it was never a thing. With my then Daddy is was common practice. Sometimes I’d just be told to stand in the corner, hands on the wall with nose touching. Gave me time to think and reflect on things. If I was in trouble though Id have to stand in the corner before with my diaper on and hearing him gather supplies then after I was well spanked. This time diaper gone and nothing but a red so bottom! He require me to be slightly bent so my bottom protruded a bit. I’d be there for at least 15-30 minutes, afterwards he’d call me over and if he felt I was still not fully punished for my misbehaving then I’d get some anal “play” and hand spankings. I could go back to the corner afterwards many times.

There was no corner time for me, neither before nor after. If I did something wrong, I was grabbed by the hand or ear. Then we went to the kitchen to get a wooden spoon and off to my room. After the spanking was asked if I would do it again and was left alone. I had to wait in my room twice, I think my mother was too mad at me. I had smoked cigarettes once and the second time I stole money from her pocket.

I never really got corner time, but it was the lecture afterward I'd have to stand in front of him with my hands behind my head and tears rolling down my face while he lectured me and I was still completely naked.

Only had corner time a few times when younger. As we got older (me, brother and sister) we would be spanked then sent to our rooms.

We would have to stay in whatever state of undress we were in (usually bottomless) until we were told we could put our pants back on.

My brother and I shared a room, so often we would see each other like that after a spanking. Funny thing is that we would both often get erections after the spanking while naked in our room. It's kind of awkward hanging out in your room with your brother with a red stinging butt and penis exposed. But I guess we got used to it.

Worst was one time when my brother had a friend over and they were playing in the bedroom and I ended up in there bottomless with both of them. Pretty embarrassing.

When I was 17 I would have kicked the shit out of my dad if he tried to spank me. He knew it so it was never an issue.

If you think anyone’s impressed that you have no respect for your parents… we’re not.

Parents who beat their children deserve no respect.

Neither do children who beat their parents.

The rituals were pretty consistent... here are the rituals for 12.y.o. and above (7th thru 12th grades)...

Mom's ritual...

1> naughty child/children go to bedroom(s) to prepare for spanking(s)...

2> undress and stand in corner(s)...

3> wait (usually ~15 minutes) for Mom to either...

... ... a> arrive in bedroom(s), with hairbrush, or...

... ... b> summon the naughty child/children to fetch the hairbrush and bring it to the family room...

4> stand in front of Mom for discussion(s)/lecture(s)...

5> lay across Mom's lap for her hairbrush paddling(s)...

6> go back into corner(s) (in bedroom(s) or in family room --- wherever the discipline was administered) for another ~15 minutes...

7> wait for permission to get dressed and continue with the day's activities...

Dad's ritual...

1> naughty child/children go to his workshop (usually at 6:30pm) to prepare for spanking appointment(s) (usually at 7pm)...

Neither do children who beat their parents.

Which is cause and which is effect?

Children are blank slates and learn to copy behavior from observing parents (and other adults).

Corner time was pretty common when I got my spankings from Mom. Usually it was after the spanking.

If children are blank slates then I'm the Man in the Moon. I know for a fact I was born set in my ways and I've never been a blank slate, not even in my preschool years.

Intense thread.

Have spent a lot of time in the corner though myself.

I almost always was instructed to go to my bedroom and think about what I had done that deserved a punishment. Generally it was anywhere from 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hours before Mom who administered almost my spankings (my Grandmother also spanked me on a rare occasion) would come up and lecture me. It was then I found out what was in store for me which was quite often an over the knee spanking always on the bare bottom. No corner time was part of it and once the spanking and/or lecture was over, I was a given a comforting hug and kisses. Afterwards, the misdeed was not mentioned again. Denise

I had one or two spankings from my grandmother on my mum's side. Once was for pulling her curtains down (which I didn't intend to do, I was trying to shake down a spider).

IMO, corner time, holding suppositories, is almost essential.

The suppositories take some time to get really working, but it is very difficult for the recipient to ignore them. These feelings focus the recipient's attention on their butt area, knowing what more is soon to happen.

The suppositories also make the spankee clench their buttocks which may intensify the discomfort of the spanking.

Then, after the spanking an intense urge to poo happens and the poor sore-butt pretty much has to sit on a toilet for some time, which prolongs the discomfort.

YMMV.

You cannot remember the things that made you what are, because you were too young to remember anything.

That is how all children develop their personalities or become attached to certain things and practices. And the people who have the most influence over children in their formative young years are obviously parents or other adults/family members who raise them.

Few people can remember anything before 3 or perhaps 2 years old. But by then, a lot of imprinting and socializing has been done. That is basic sociology, anthropology and psychology as well I suppose.

I may not be able to remember those things, but they were there since the day I was born. I became attached to all the things I was meant to become attached to.

I don't want to take this into a detailed discussion about a notion that sounds like predestination or inevitability to me, but people are not 'meant' or predestined to become anything solely because of themselves.

Children develop specific traits, likes, dislikes, behaviors and what not, because of how they are raised and by observing how others behave. People do no not come into the world with ready-made personalities, quirks, preferences and dislikes. They have to acquire all these things from elsewhere.

Had you or I been born into a different family in a different country or in a different time and era, neither of us would have turned into the same person we are now. We are the result of happenstance and our surroundings.

And when happenstance, events and surroundings change, so does the way we develop and who and what we turn into.

The OP asked...

How common was corner time before or after a spanking in your childhood? You personally? Or just friends or other kid relatives? Pants up or down? Before or after? For how long? In your room only? Displayed to slblings or other family members? Always or rarely? If not always, then when?

This isn't suppose to be a discussion of "is spanking appropriate or not". It needs to get back on the topic that was asked about.

I didn't have corner time, I was left alone in my room instead. I don't know if others had corner time or not.

No corner time was given when I misbehaved. A spanking was. I learned to not do the behavior that would warrant a spanking.

Corner time and mouth soaping are two things I missed out on back in the 1940's/50s.

There was no corner time for me. If I did something I got spanked in the ass. After that everything was back to normal for my parents.

NOT in Childhood BUT my wife taught me before she spanked me! It certainly put me in "MY" sub space 😃

My siblings and I never had corner time at home after a spanking. We were sent to our rooms for a variable amount of time.

At school however we did get corner time albeit without the spanking. Get out of line and the teacher would put you in the corner for a while. That was somewhat funny when the teacher ran out of corners some days so we could end up in the corner with others. The worst part of that is almost always time in the corner meant a note would get sent home which could invoke either a lecture or a spanking. Had this through about 5th grade. At that point you just got sent to the office for a taking to …

What is corner time?

What is corner time?

A room has corners where walls meet. Usually there are four.

Back in the day, and this has been done for a few hundred years as attested to by old illustrations, a misbehaving student would have to stand in the corner, facing towards the corners as a sort of punishment, often while wearing a dunce hat, or a sign attesting to their misbehavior or with pants pulled down or whatever embarrassing other thing a teacher could come up with in their authoritarian brains.

The dunce hats were often based on hats that heretics might have been forced to wear during an auto-da-fé or other punishments carried out in public.

Never before a spanking, but usually after, I would have to stand in the corner "until I had my emotions under control" Before a spanking I would have to fetch the wooden spoon or sometimes the hairbrush and stand in front of her while she scolded me. Of course i was always undressed first to my birthday suit. The emotional part of a spanking was as bad as the physical for me

I didn't get much corner time growing up. I have gotten it before and after, but mostly after. Mom was more of an angry spanker and she preferred to get right to it with whatever implement was available. Corner time afterward was a lot more likely because of that.

In our house cornertime was always given after a spanking for usually about 15-20 min. It was done mostly to calm down and of course the embarrassment aspect of it. At least for my brother and I, our step dad did all of the spanking and at minimum we were bare waist down and we would be escorted to the corner as soon as the spanking was done. There was no set location it was wherever he administered the spanking
