Did anyone else on here get caned at home by their parents?

I did several times, and it far was worse than a school caning. At school there were limits, usually four or six strokes, and you were caned over your trousers. At home it was trousers down and a caning on the bare bum with no limit, it went on until your mum or dad thought you had had enough.

I am of the older generation and a lot of my contempories had parents who had a cane at home. Most of us feared getting caned at home far more than at school.

In our house we were whipped with barbed wire every morning whether we'd misbehaved or not then it was off to the factory where we worked 36 hrs a day for tuppence a fortnight and every night when we got home my mother would burn us all to death just for the fun of it.

Eric had it easy.

It didn't do Lotta much good then did it?

Lotta,
How can anyone not love you? You're hysterically funny!

This is what made caning at school so dangerious and open to use by some teachers. Pupils would not tell their parents that they had been naughty at school, knowing they would be punished at home as well. It was not until about 1970 that attitudes started to change and pupils tell parents what went on at school.

Indeed, a lot of heads use to say " I wont tell your parents this time."

I wasn't caned at home but did receive the cane from my piano teacher in the early eighties for having not practiced enough.

My piano teacher was an older lady, probably in her fifties who lived with another older lady. She was probably a lesbian thinking about it now.

I'd been having lessons with her for several months without any hint of corporal punishment but for a few weeks I hadn't been practising at home and one week she got so cross that she said "That's it. I'm going to give you the cane!".

I was totally shocked having never had the cane ever before and having never seen one. I was about 11 years old at the time.

She made be bend over her sofa and gave me six strokes across my trousers. I was in tears and never told my parents when they collected me - nor did she.

After that I made sure that I always practiced thoroughly and she didn't have to cane me again. My lessons stopped about a year later.

I did not get any CP at home.
However the local hardware shop in N London, which was in those days ( 50/60s) was commonly called the "oil shop" ( where people could get parrafin amongst most household items) one could purchase school canes.
There always seemed to be lots of them standing in a container on display.
I imagine this means that they were purchased and used in the home.
Anyone else remember such things?

When i failed my exam,my mom will cane me[1 subject fail = 3 strokes]on the buttocks with skirt & pantyhose on,but still very painful.!

It is always a delight to hear from our Honorary Life Member, retired headmaster George. I miss the bits of Middle English that are usually thrown in, but nevertheless,

Kepen posteen!



Your charming little piece, Richard, is reminiscent of one of the stories written by the fantasist James, reproduced unedited here below. His complete ramblings can be found in the ‘Childhood Dreams’ thread.

'Miss Lawrence made her classroom a home from home. She was a warm hearted woman who had no trouble with disipline because all us ten year olds loved her but i was the only one to admit it to my friend Fat Freddy. He told all the others and they bullied me. At playtime they formed a circle round me and pointed at me and shouted ‘You love Miss Lawrence’ It made me cry and i said to them ‘When i get big i will be a very important man with a big car and a big house in North London and when you come and ask me for a job i won,t give you one so there! Then i went and told Miss Lawrence hoping that she would give me a smack on the bottom but she just said ‘don,t be a ninny’.
Later at night tucked up in my little wooden bed i imagined that she was giving me a piano lesson on the Grieg Concerto and every time i palyed a wrong note she gave me a smack on the bottom. My little hands couldn,t stretch to the opening big A minor chord and so every time i tried i got a smack on the bottom. She smacked me with a slipper while i was bending over the piano stool. She caned me with my pants on while i was lying across the keyboard. She put me inside her grand piano and pulled out one of the strings and hit me on the bottom with it.
Next time i’ll tell you about how i fantasised about how Miss Lawrence put me in a tea chest called the box of whacks and then smacked my bottom.'




In addition to oil shops, mimi encore, canes were also sold in sweet shops, or sweat shops as the writer of the following calls them. The piece, entitled ’Penny Canes’ can be found in the_good_old_days Yahoo Group, presided over by the formidable Joan Riley.

'I remember those penny canes well they were sold in the sweat shops near the schools too. I don't remember them costing penny it was more like shilling in my days. But the worsed [sic] canes were the school canes issues by the British Home office a legal size and length for all corporal punishment. They were I remember about 12-14mm thick and exactly three feet long. How much they hurt depended on the force of use and whether bottom pretection [sic] was allowed and often for me it was not. Some teachers had a thick special cane not legal but hurt like hell and was used for the disgrace punishments. Today we would think all this was terrible but to me it was just things that happen when you were growing up. Janet James'

Richard,

You live in a dream world.

My father bought a cane for me when I was about seven.

We walked one day to the local Newsagent Confectioner tobacconist, where he normally bought his paper and cigarettes. He bought me a few sweets and then spotted some canes and bought one, saying to me that it was for me when I was naughty.

When we got home he told my mother she was to use it if needed because he was in the Navy and was going away for a long time. As it turned out I never saw him again as he was killed in the war.

I don’t think that he ever expected that she would use it, I am sure he felt the threat was enough. I was also convinced that my mother would never use it either.

However after about a year or two when I was about nine I suppose, I did something that really upset her. So she got the cane and dragged be upstairs took down my trousers and pants and caned me hard maybe about ten or twelve times. I don’t know exactly as I wasn’t counting, but it was a lot more than I ever got as school.

She caned my twice more during my time at home, each time I got about a dozen on the bare.

I await Lotta’s comments.

She (?) will no doubt shout fiction but I wish it was. My bum at the time didn’t think so. Something must have caused the fire.

Eric,

You live next door to Richard.

I was caned at home, but not with a purchased cane. Living near the river thames; and having been forbidden to go accross the field to it, my sister and I did not expect the punishment we got for our disobedience.
Mother had cut a thin whippy cane from the garden, which she told us we were both going to be punished with. I was seven, and my sister Gillian was eleven. We were ordered to our bedrooms. Punishment for us usually meant a smack round the legs...But not this time. Gillian got it first. I heard mother tell her to lay on the bed. Then I heard a few hard strokes of the cane. Mother said, "I want you to remember this, so I am going to pull your knickers down" I think Gillian got about twelve cuts accross her bare bottom. I was terrified.
Mother left her crying and came to me. She undid my short trousers and pulled them down. "Lay accross the bed" she ordered. I obeyed. I think I got about six strokes accross my underpants.Pulling my pants down, she saidsomething like,"Maybe the cane round your bare bottom will teach you obedience my boy." The several stinging strokes mad me yell, and the lines were there for some days. It was not the last time she caned me, though it was rare. My sister also got the cane at other times. Usually we got it for disobedience or lying.
I do believe it was deserved, but also that it has left me with an interest in this subject.

Yeah, one of the little by-products of parenting with a cane---little fetishists are made. I got made with a bathbrush rather than a cane, but same idea.

I wonder if in a few years there will be "time out" fetishists. Maybe...but I doubt it.

Can you guess what comes next?

It's simply amazing. I still can't believe what I'm about to tell you.

Not yet born, but invisibly there watching Denis and 37 million other fantasists at the same time!

(Denis is fast asleep while the above story is taking place of course.)

It's just incredible. The talent is utterly astounding and unprecedented. So is the humility - not once in hundreds of near identical posts has she even hinted at her own miraculous powers!

Watch this space closely because she'll shortly be here to tell you the truth....

H-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-r's Lotta!

Denis D,

Is your surname 'Lusional' by any chance?

My sister has a white handled pocket knife if anyone wants to borrow it to cut cane.

LOTTA

More like D
idnt get the point of why this punishment was inflicted, as it's been posted three times!

or D

oesn't quite get this new IT lark!

I to was caned at home, every friday without fail either for punishment for things I had done or not done as the case may be, or as 'Maintenance' for crimes undetected as my mother used to say. Minimum of six hard cuts, on the bare bottom, more usually twelve, punishment was never less than eighteen often more.

Reads like the Reaares Letters Page from a 1972 Searchj or Relate Fetish magazine!
One still comes across "evidence"of past C.P at places like tips,boot sales,jumble sales and the like,
nothing overt mind you more like circumstantial.
the hosue clearence with a pile of stuff from the old garage of a family where the children have long moved away.
Amongst the long forgotten toys and rubbish lie broken canes,hairbrushes,curious flat backed boardy things strips of whippy materiel,odd thick leather belts permanently folded in half and missing buckes,
once great excitment was evinced over the discovery in a box at ivate boys prep school clear out of a large medieval wooden instrument with lots of large protuding spikes and nails some 3" long on one side!!
After initial shock and trepidation with visions of a Jersey type
discovery it was confirmed to be a "Carpet Drager"used to drag the pile on carpets-they said-but they would wouldnt they?
It looked fearsome.

I was caned both at school and at home.

In our house there was a golden rule that if you were caned at school you got another dose at home. If you owned up to our parents first then it would not be as hard as it would be if they found out from school.

I always feared the cane at home as it was always on the bare backside and the effects would last for days on end. At school it was rarely more than fifthenn strokes and you only got it on the bare backside if you jumped up or tried to rub whilst being caned.

What if you were caned at home?

Did you then get caned at school as well?

Or should that be caned at THE home-The Greta Garbo School for Wayward Boys and Girls, perhaps?

I think this may be a regional thing. Not one girl I knew (who was willing to talk about it that is!), was ever caned at home. The belt was the implement of choice. I lived in the north of England as a kid, and about four years ago I was in a brief house-share with a lady from Derby, who talked about it quite openly. She too was given a dose of her father's belt when she misbehaved, or was sent home from school with a note. Apparently her father had to go to the school once to collect her, because she'd been caught on the school roof retrieving a ball, and caned for it. She's in her mid-40s now, so that would have put her in secondary school(sorry can't relate to this US-style year-whatever),in the mid-70's.

Steve, He legally changed his name years ago. He used to be known as Jack, and he lived in the back of the Greta Barbo School for Wayward Boys and Girls, where George who lives by a lake was Headmaster and DD was his Assistant Head.

I WISH PEOPLE WHO DID NOT HAVE SOMETHING SENSIBLE AND CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY WOULD NOT POST ON THE SITE.

IT WAS THE FACT THAT CHILDREN WERE SCARED OF GETTING ANOTHER CANING AT HOME IF THEY GOT ONE AT SCHOOL,THAT THEY NEVER TOLD THEIR PARENTS. THIS OF COURSE DID ALLOW SOME TEACHERS TO ABUSE PUPILS, AND THEY WOULD KNOW THE ONES THAT WOULD not TELL THEIR PARENTS IF THEY WERE CANED.

tHIS BEING SCARED OF MORE PUNISHMENT AT HOME IS WHY MANY BOYS WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THE SLIPPER THAN A DETENTION.

CERTAINLY IN THE TEN YEARS BEFORE THE CANE WAS ABOLISHED IT WAS KNOWN THAT IF CERTAIN BOYS WERE CANED THEIR PARENTS WOULD COMPLAIN even for the most deserved canings for offences like theft. It was tempting at times not to cane these boys to save the aggrovation from parents. On the other hand you knew some parents would give another caning if they got one at school and while not hiding the fact did not inform the parents that a caning had been given.I must say that the majority of parents felt that after i had caned a boy no further punishment was needed. This added punishment at home was mainly the result of ineffective caning at school, due to clothing providing too much protection or regulations limiting the punishment to 2 or 3 strokes.

Unfortunately, if people keep posting ridiculous garbage about the 20-stroke bare bottom canings they received at home every week, they can expect a suitably acid response from some of us.

I've no doubt there once was a time when a school caning would inevitably be followed at home by a repeat dose in certain circles. What I also don't doubt was that parents who consistently mistreated their children as some of the one-handed typists like to pretend they were treated would have ended up in court, probably shafted by the teacher.

And this DID happen. The same Headmaster who caned my Father's bare bottom in a Colchester primary school around 1933 or 34 also found out about another boy's parents who were consistently thrashing their child, and had them taken to court and fined.

Furthermore,he also discovered another boy whose father and grown-up brother were using him for target practice of the golden rivet variety. Luckily, both were jailed.

A shame we can't deal with some of the paedos on here in the same manner, but that's progress, I believe!
