Physical punishment was always administered with the slipper or, once I was into my teens, the strap. If I was punished at school, as many children were back then, of course, I could expect similar retribution at home too. This was generally administered the evening after I had been whacked at school. This gave me 24 hours to reflect, and at times sweat, knowing what the following night was probably going to bring.
As I say, my own spankings were always very different from those of my sisters. At times, they would be present when I was having my bottom smacked – but they understood that they had to sit quietly throughout, or risk being next for a sore backside.
