Subject: Re: Placement Author: Alfred22 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:11:07 06/24/25 Tue In reply to: TNGal40 's message, "Re: Placement" on 13:05:26 06/21/25 Sat Successful courting of danger often generated really weird emotions in most of us. If you know the Chattanooga area, you may know the "other" mountain on the north side of the river. Anyway, Signal Mtn. is not developed like Lookout Mountain is. Lookout has an Incline trolley, a Lovers' Leap, and a War between the States battle history. So for an unknown to me reason, my Dad drove me and my mother and her mother to the top of Signal where there was then nothing. He pulls over and I get out of the car. There is an overlook edge but seeing it from the car is impossible. I run toward the edge and from the car it looks like I am at the edge. In fact it is 200 feet further and I am no where near it. All the adults panic and think I am going to fall. Admittedly it was a long way down. Still, in fact, I was not near the edge. They scream at me and are very happy when I turn around. Once I am safely in their mind under their control again, there ensues a big debate about my punishment for scaring them. All of them promise the spanking of my life when we get home. I mention this story because it seems to me that your older sister probably had a similar experience when she walked in at 2:00 in the morning. She made it safely and probably had no reason to fear the street at that hour. She no doubt had emergency plans, doors to knock on, phone calls for help she could make, etc. And she made it safely home. Her reward, a very firm belt spanking on her bare. Parents flip from So Happy you are safe!!! to Drop your pants and bend over, NOW! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Placement Author: Alfred22 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:23:29 06/25/25 Wed The paradigm case invariably cited by spanking parents of when a really good spanking was earned is crossing the street. I don't think when a child has somehow done this successfully but perhaps against some aspect of what the parent has ordered (perhaps not holding the parent's hand) that spanking is so obviously a good idea. Much better to chill for a second and seriously inquire what was the child thinking. Your goal is not to keep the child from ever crossing streets. Your real goal, let's face it, is to teach how to do it safely. Find out whether any precautions were taken and whether they are enough. Often little kids literally can't see far enough in both directions, even though they tried to do so. An incident of an inappropriate crossing that nonetheless turned out OK could be used positively to show the limitations of a kid's ability to SEE what is coming after trying their best to. My point, and as Ellen D. likes to joke, I do have one, is that having to drop trou and fetch the spanking bairbrush or at my house, the current spanking yardstick, sometimes should be delayed at least long enough to find out what precautions or other procedures were employed to cross safely or to come home on time.
