More likely than hitting for anger. But yes, except for one occasion of self defense, any hitting has been for fun or lighthearted.

I'm going to change the name of this thread to the Sooooooo Spank Me!

Gagballs not included.

LOL Oh, as we've aged, the meaning totally changes!!!

"Whip me, beat me, make me feel cheap!!!"

I have no idea where I got that but it's been in my head for 3 decades!!

Does anyone recognize that?

Yes, but I'm pretty sure you weren't there.

ha ha I'm not going to ask.........:D

I remember it as "Whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks". But I don't remember where it came from.

My mom used the flyswatter on the backs of our thighs. She also yelled a lot. I don't remember the yelling, but she still feels bad about it.

When The Boy was 3ish, we had an episode where I was going to spank him, I had grabbed his belt out of anger. I caught myself before I used it, dropped the belt and walked away. I knew that if I had started with it I was angry to the point that I would not have stopped. I had to come up with more creative ways to punish him. this meant taking away privledges, toys, ect... It was much more effective and I felt a whole lot better about myself as a mom.

Great! Now I've got that song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot Brad!
