Sara2001 Corner time is very common in my family as long as I can think. My mom still has to do 30 minutes of corner time every morning.
Times like this, I’m glad my wife doesn’t read this forum, haha. She only threatens 30 minutes when she’s really annoyed and has never actually done it. Daily cornering would drive me insane!
Truth is, she mostly enjoys the fact it’s a low-effort means of discipline. It was actually my idea because I noticed she didn’t always like having to drop what she was doing and deal with me. Now, if I’m
upsetting her, all she has to say is “corner, three minutes” and she automatically wins the argument and can get back to whatever she was doing. (And my bottom is less sore!)
