Birthday Spankings?
#1
We have a birthday coming up and with six kids there's always a birthday going on so I figured I would ask about a lighter subject then some of the other items discussed... Birthday Spankings!

What if any tradition of birthday spanking is in your family or have you experienced?

We do birthday spankings. They are done more in a playful at home type setting.

As far as a spanking we all take turns giving the birthday kid their new age in swats followed by a pinch to grow an inch a sock to grow a block.

It's kind of a fun game within the family as it can be done at any time from the time the child wakes up in the morning till the time they go to bed at night. the spankings don't get that hard because the kids all know that they will have a birthday coming up soon as well.

Birthday spankings were a popular tradition when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s.

They were also very popular while I was growing up in the fifties. In fact we had a couple of teachers who would give birthday spankings in front of the class. Everyone thought it was great fun!

I used to get them every year but they never hurt though! Even so we used to have sort of this game where I'd see how long I could go without getting them by evading my older family members when they got too close, "being good", and sitting down a lot so nobody could reach my butt. Not because I was afraid but just because I wanted to give my older family members a challenge lol. They'd have to get pretty creative on a "reason" to spank me before revealing it was a birthday spanking and then counting up to whatever year it was, plus one to grow on. It was a silly tradition, don't know if it will happen this year as mom's pretty stressed out, dad isn't here, and my older sister and brother both moved away. Still my birthday is in six days so we'll find out.

Not really sure. Parents today seem a bit overly conscious of their off spring. They seem to hover over them more and monitor their every move. In my day we were more free and there was no such thing as a play date. I guess you could say our child rearing habits are changing to reflect the current world situation as spanking of any kind is seen by many as abusive!
