It really varies. In some traditional neighborhoods where people know each other well and have a shared set of values, such stories might be more common. For example, if a boy is constantly bullying other kids in the neighborhood, the moms might step in. But in more modern, individualistic neighborhoods, this kind of direct discipline from a non - parental figure is less likely to occur as people tend to respect the boundaries of parenting more strictly.
Perhaps a boy was playing too roughly near the neighborhood mom's flower beds. In her attempt to stop him from ruining her carefully tended flowers, she spanked him. After that, she showed him how to be more careful around delicate plants and even gave him a small area to plant his own little flower to teach him responsibility.
No. Spanking by anyone outside of a proper family or guardianship context is inappropriate and there are no positive aspects. Neighborhood women are not in a position to administer physical punishment, and such actions can be considered a form of abuse or at least a violation of personal boundaries.
In modern Western cultures, spanked mom stories are becoming less common. There is a growing awareness of the negative impacts of physical punishment, and more emphasis on positive parenting techniques like positive reinforcement and communication. However, there are still some families who may have a history of spanking, so it's not completely unheard of.
Yes, they can be. In many families, spanking was once a form of discipline. Moms might spank their children when they did something really wrong, like stealing or being extremely disobedient.
There are no real - life spanked by neighborhood women stories that I can recall. In most modern societies, such actions are not acceptable behavior. In literature, one might find some symbolic or comical stories where a character is playfully 'threatened' with spanking by neighborhood women, but these are more for humor or to show the strict social norms of a fictional place.
In many stories, disrespect is also a cause. Saying rude things to mom or not listening when she's talking. Moms spank to teach kids to respect others, especially family members. It's their way of instilling good values in a rather tough but sometimes necessary way.
Disobedience is a common one. For example, if a child is told not to do something like play with matches and still does it, the mom might spank as it's a very dangerous behavior.
Yes, they can be. In many traditional families, when children misbehave, moms may use spanking over their lap as a form of discipline. It's a way to show the child that their actions have consequences in a more personal and immediate way.
I don't think it's appropriate for kids to be spanked by mom's friends. In most cases, discipline should be carried out by parents in a proper and legal way. If there are such stories, they might involve situations where mom's friends overstep boundaries which is not acceptable behavior.
