's message, "Routine enemas for children" on Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 02:02: am
As a child in the 1950s I thought I was on the receiving end of the enema hose all the time, but actually it wasn't all that often, once a month, unless I was sick.
Mom took enemas when she had her period and I guess she thought that while the enema bag was out and in use she would avail herself of it and give me a good cleaning out as well.
When I came home from school and saw the enema bag in the bathroom I knew I'd be in for a session over mom's lap. Sure enough I'd be told at bath time that I hadn't had a cleaning out in a while and could use a good enema.
I had the enema bag hanging over my head during my baths. It was either a promise of things to come or a reminder of the last session. Either way it was imtimidating yet exciting.

I probably didn't have a lot of enemas as a kid- except as very young, maybe 4-6, when I recall fequently laying on the bed and having a bulb and then the bag give me enemas. I don't know why as I wasn't sick. Later the enemas were not frequent, usually when sick.
