Spanking at a hotel?
#11
Hi All,
I guess how long and / or hard you can / decide to spank when staying in a hotel is very dependant on the hotel ; time of day ; other rooms vacant or in use ; and your Country with it's acceptance or disapproval of spanking.

But we hope you have a good vacation and this becomes a non-issue.

Vacations should be spanking free zones!

Then kids should behave then vacations would be spanking free.

It's all about behaviour. No-one (I hope) gets punished for nothing, and if us parents could rely on our children to be angels on holiday, there'd be no spanking. Unfortunately, most of us have learnt from experience that this isn't the case. Not surprisingly, we like to be prepared.

If the holiday had to be a spank-free zone, then either kids could get away with anything, or there would have to be other punishments which might be worse (and grounding is as unpleasant for the rest of the family as for the one grounded) or spanking would have to be given when the family got home again maybe a week or more later, which seems dreadful to me. The Scout motto ("Be Prepared") seems eminently sensible to me.

I always took the kids camping several weeks during the summer. I don't recall having to spank once. The rules were much more relaxed and the kids always seemed to be in happy moods. However when we were back home I think they got spanked about the same as when they attended school.

I think for us, it is less frequent that spankings happen on vacations/trips than at home. The kids are happy. There is a more relaxed atmosphere and harmony as a rule. I think we make an effort to give everybody some space, and let smaller things go. For one thing, excitement and fatigue can be the cause of less self control. So we try to make realistic expectations, given the change in routine.

But, we have had occasions, where little ones (or big ones) don't obey boundaries, do something unsafe or cross the line with disrespect. And, these things are too serious to let go without punishment.

I also think a group of unrelated children seem to be better behaved, than the family with siblings or cousins around. There's an existing dynamics with relatives that travels along, no matter where you go. IMO, that increases the odds that somebody(s) will act out inappropriately.

Ok I should probably admit that I have been spanked at a hotel before Blush

I was like ten and was being a proper brat when we were on holiday Big Grin After loads of warnings my dad took me back to the room and gave me a spanking. I suppose it sort of worked cos I was much better after that and we ended up having a good day

It was during the middle of the day when most people weren't in their rooms though so I think not as many people heard as I thought they would have at the time

I shared before of my spanking memory at a hotel in Hershey Park growing up. I received a number of spankings while on vacation as a child. In general, the rules were more lax but spanking was still on the table for exceptional misbehavior. If any of the kids earned a spanking, it was given as private as possible. Most of the time this meant back in the hotel room. Sometimes, there would be witnesses. For me, my mother never changed her procedure. If you were going to be spanked, she would do it just like she did at home.
