Subject: Does anybody get spanked at bedtime? Author: Taylor [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:25:34 07/29/12 Sun I was just curious if other kids got spanked for not going to bed when you were supposed to. All of us have got it for fooling around too much when getting ready for bed especially on a school night. And we tend to fool around a lot after we are supposed to be in bed. We usually get a couple of warnings before mom or dad comes up stairs to "deal" with us. I think you know what that means. The boys are the worst but me and Shannon get it too. So does anyone else get it at bedtime too? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Does anybody get spanked at bedtime? Author: Bob E. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02:59:06 07/30/12 Mon As a parent, I really try to avoid spanking my child at bedtime. I understand that my children may be a a bit hyper and "wound up" at bedtime, but I don't think a spanking will calm them down very much. So, generally speaking, if my children are all wound up and hyper at bedtime, rather than a spanking, I usually come in with a story to read them, or to give my son a back rub. This will calm them down, and then, when he's nice and relaxed, the "Sand Man" will come visit. However, if I see that my child is taking advantage of my generosity, and acts up after an extra story, or a back-rub, when he should have let sleep come upon him, well, in that case he is likely to find my hand come upon his bottom.

[> Subject: Re: Does anybody get spanked at bedtime? Author: PJ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:49:18 07/30/12 Mon I no longer have a bed time. When I did have one, I always had no issues with it. I guess this is one of the few rules in the house that never caused me problems. It is so weird. My bedtime used to be 10:00pm. When my parents took it away and let me manage this myself, I found that, more times than not, I was going to bed before 10:00. I have a friend that says he has no bed time but he does have an up time. I suppose that is true at my house. Part of the guidelines for not having a bed time is that we stay alert in school and that we get up on time with no issues. I guess it should be said, that one of the alternative punishments in our house is early bed time. So, if we get this punishment, we do have a bed time and it is always ridiculously early. (Usually 6:30 PM - my parents don't play.) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Michael [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:37:53 08/01/12 Wed Me and my little brother share a room and sometimes we get to goofing around too much and won't go to sleep. We don't usually get a spanking for it but we get warned that if we keep it up then it goes on our behavior calendar. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Does anybody get spanked at bedtime? Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:29:51 08/06/12 Mon I share a room with my little brother now too and we goof around a lot. We only got one spanking for it so far though but school startsin afew weeks. That's usually when we get in trouble. We have to go to bed at 9 on school nights. That's too early but mom makes us anyway. I think that's why we keep getting in trouble cause nobody wants to go to sleep yet. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: johnny [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:20:45 08/06/12 Mon My caregiver would sometimes give me what I thought of as warning spankings when going to bed. Not full spankings, but just sharp reminders before climbing in, to improve. I actually would remember these the next day...or if not, she could say "what did we talk about last night?" !

Author: Benji [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:07:41 08/07/12 Tue I was spending the night with my best friend and he lived with his Grandparents at the time and his grandfather was weird. His grandfather paddled both of us for "playing around" after bedtime (of 9:00pm.) It was the last time I spent the night there. He would come to my house from then on.

He just came in and said you shouldn't be playing and you was getting paddled? That's seems unfair if you didn't know it was a big deal or against his rules. Just saying.

Author: Benji to Michael [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:42:33 08/11/12 Sat Michael, What was really bizarre was the 9pm bedtime on Friday night at a sleepover! That shocked us. No, we got no warning. He came in, got the paddle out of the closet, had us roll on our bellies and whacked us each three times on our bottoms. The gentleman has since passed so I am cautious to speak ill of him but he was sort of a mean guy. He did not like his daughter and grandson having to live with them. He was also very old fashioned and strict. He also had no concept that his grandson was 13. He and any of us who visited were treated like we were still 8. My friend now has a MUCH better situation.

Author: Tyler [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:16:28 08/12/12 Sun now i m 15 and i dont have a special bed time anymore, except sometimes if they think i m real tired or getting a cold or something or they want 2 b in bed themselves or something, then they will tell me, but usually i decide myself. So only if they tell me AND i dont go right 2 bed, thats the only time i would b spanked at bedtime now, and i havnt been 4 a pretty long time. But if i dont get up in the morning on time i do get paddled and that does happen, my uncle paddled me this morning i still feel it [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
