This must be one of the first outings for her magnificent buttocks, B :-) A nostalgic one, maybe from Janus. Oh my! The leather strap was the chief "botty smacker" implement used on daughters (with panties pulled down for sure) in good homes in the American South, when I was a child in the 1960s. Y'all gotten it. Except of course, for sister & me: we gotten a nasty, flexible, thin, rattan cane on our bare bums from the get go (like our mother herself, had gotten growing up in the 1930s & 40s)
The strap featured in the domestic accounts of raising daughters in Janus, B, in the 1970s: "I'll leather her bare backside & she will not sit down for a week" said one father. It was all par for the course, thank the Lord!
And here starts another wonderful letter from Janus in the 1970s,
"I was the middle sister of three in our family; we had a happy family life but we had to behave ourselves or the strap was used to instil the message through the culprit's bare bum"
A letter from a good lady, describing her 1940s, 50s upbringing in the UK, & how she currently disciplines her two daughters (in the 70s). It is a treasure trove of practical common sense and nostalgia, B. YUP! PC is simply light years' away ha-ha! It reminds me of my Christian childhood in Georgia. I loved Readers' Letters, B. Oh my!
Essentially, the three sisters gotten strapped, bare bottomed OMK & then over the sofa over the years. The mom was a prolific spanker - just a necessary domestic chore needed doing raising her girls. This was my mother's strident view way back, & indeed my own view entirely, B.
"skirt tucked up & knickers down far enough to allow unrestricted application of the strap for a dozen...then everything was back to normal except the sting on the bum"
Why, yes, absolutely right, B!! Oh my! Lovely details & O' fashioned reporting. She writes how all three sisters, gotten caught fighting & bare backsides gotten skelped: "sending us to our room to change into our pyjamas & return to the living room...mum waiting with the strap. We took off our pyjama trousers & went over the sofa, one after the other. The strap knocked the fight out of us & we went upstairs rubbing our behinds"
Further delightful sections, B:
"the next thing I knew was mum back in the room & my sister across her knee with the strap in use on her bare bum"
"Mum turned me over bared my bum & laid the strap down"
"There was no need to warn us to behave, we knew what was needed & what would lead to punishment, and talking with my sister years later we could not pinpoint any time mum strapped us when it was not deserved, and never at any time did she give us excessive punishment. In fact there were times when we all deserved more than we got."
There's also an account of their father leathering their bare bottoms with the strap, B, with all three sisters bent over the sofa at once.
"I got home convinced I would have no skin left on my bottom by the time dad had finished with it"...I do really like that line, B. I know how she feels!!!
And then another time, "I lay on my stomach that night and for a few nights after dad had stopped strapping my bare bottom"
Naturally, the good lady then recommended that parents use a bunch of firm CP for daughters (AKA the red botty treatment!!) including her own two girls of course, & her long letter finished with her daughters misbehaving - "they are trying to convince their dad that they should escape the belt"
Alas, they did not escape the required scarlet buttocks, sadly, B - "The girls were unlucky and had to bare their bums. They got twenty each. I even felt sorry for them, but they were over an hour late coming home and at school the next morning"
Oh my! It is such a lovely 70s letter, B. Bare red botties were just a fact of life. As we both ruefully know!! It was all a normal, foundation of societal mores. And I so coveted these Letters, factual accounts & reports in Janus & Roue in the 70s & early 80s. Thanks n SMACKABOTTIES to ya, B! No-nonsense Nostalgic Brenda xx
