I love the name Gisela although my running club friend used two letters "l". She was from SE Asia and I suspect that she was a modern mother. She married, had a baby, and seemed to disappear. She did post once or twice about her daughter and what I mainly remember was her astonishment that the baby could have such a large quantity of gas! Cute but that was the last I learned.

I do agree with you about the difficulty of constructing "actually suitable reactions away from spankings." In a totally non spanking high school, I once took the day and stayed home working on school work. When done early in the afternoon, I decided to go to basketball practice. This was noticed and the next day I met with Principal and the Head of the Honor Counci. The Principal joked at the beginning of the "discussion" and asked if the Head brought The Switch? A nervous laugh among the three of us ensued.

Then I got a long lecture about setting a good example for other younger students. I was about to be graduated! They could have sentenced me to detention and wasted hours of my time. Or, they could have told me the financial truth -- an absence of even one student once, diminished Government financial aid to the school! Instead I came away vowing never to do it again but I was quite resentful and I had spent the day studying chemistry, physics, and writing a paper for English. They had no interest in this and I thought at the time that showed it wasn't education they were interested in!

I do agree that obedience is a strength and a virtue. Spanking gets your attention like nothing else and it can build capacity for obedience and the ability to endure discomfort. So, can detentions which I did serve once. I am not sure what I learned from my scolding for staying home. I didn't do it again. I think that the army may have hit on the best punishment. They make you repeat a whole week of Basic when you misbehave during your first time through that week's training skills.

You are blessed to have any grands, much less having 9! Have you ever had to manage any overnight or longer?

Dear Alfred,
that's quite a colorful bouquet of thoughts, and I'll see which ones I can respond to in a meaningful way.

Giselle, Gisella... Emphasis on the second syllable, that's the roman pronunciation and spelling of my name. I come from the German-speaking part of Switzerland, where it's a little less lyrical: Gisela - or Gisi for short.

I'm very happy that we (my husband and I) agree on the right parenting methods with our four children (three boys, one girl). No one (not even my husband, who sadly passed away four years ago) would claim that spanking a child or a woman is something beautiful or aesthetic. But it is effective when it comes to obedience! And helpful for the atmosphere in a family in general. There are simply reasons why people first think of “The Switch” when they think of punishment and obedience, as you described!

Of course, my grandsons and granddaughters stay over at our house from time to time, especially during school vacations. And of course they know that grandma's cooking spoon feels just as bad on their bottoms as their mom's cooking spoon. And some of them already know that the wooden spoon doesn't have to be the end of the punishment.

I think we will gradually get the many threads of this conversation sorted again. All the best - Gisi aka Gisela
