Hi Thank you for responding and I am quite happy to share with you, but I am not sure the sort of information you would be interested in. I think possibly I grew up in an era where the style of discipline I received was fairly normal, especially as I discovered later on that friends received similar punishments.
When I was thinking about this today, I was thinking of some of the ridiculous things my parents said, I have many statements, for instance why say ' young lady do you want to bend over and bare your bottom, for 6 strokes of the strap?’ … Obviously the answer would be “no,” and the strap did not stroke my bottom, I never really liked the strap, or the Tawse, but my parents were Scottish Catholics.
Well enough for the moment please advise what you would like to know
Thank you

I'd be interested in both how you were punished as a child, and what your thoughts, desires, and experiences have been with discipline as an adult. And is this something you'd be willing to have me post on the web site?
In terms of your childhood, what you write here is a good beginning-- that you were punished regularly, that your friends were as well as you discovered, and that your parents had different styles and preferences. Then details as to what their routines were, how you felt about it. And it would be very nice to have detailed descriptions of some of the punishments you remember best. I would also mention how and to what extent you were excited about your childhood punishments.
Your adult experiences would be another section ... but let's start with the childhood ones.
