I got it ALL THE TIME just about everywhere I went!
Being the oldest of the 4 kids, without knowing it, it was dumped onto my head to be the one that sets the example for the younger kids in the family but, any time I tried, they'd ignore me, cause trouble & then I'D get the spanking for it!!
We were ALL repeatedly taught the same rules! I followed them but the others didn't! Yet, when they disobeyed them, I got punished!
I'm in the kitchen doing homework, my sister's in the living room watching t. v., dad's in the dining room playing cards or doing a crossword puzzle. My sister gets up & walks out the front door to play leaving the lights and t. v. on in the living room and the front doors wide open! About 10:00 later, dad gets up to get a beer, sees no one in the living room with the t. v. and lights still on, notices the doors are wide open, starts yelling that this was done and wants to know why and who did it. Nearest I can tell it was that worthless bitch so, I tell him that Karen was the last one in there. So, he starts yelling at ME for not getting up, going into the living room and turning off the t. v. and lights FOR her and then closing the doors!! "YOU'RE the eldest! YOU should go in and "pick up" after her!" I'm thinking, "YOU'RE the parent! YOU should be the one teaching her not to do this shit in the first place!! You never seem to have any problem telling ME if I make a mistake!!"
If something goes wrong, I got blamed for it!! AFTER I got punished for it, THEN they'd listen while I told them who was really responsible but, they, that did it, never got reprimanded for it!
In school, I'm just quietly sitting in class or study hall doing my homework, or whatever when, some other kid comes up to me & starts picking a fight with me! Of course, I'm gonna fight back, if I need to but, when someone in charge breaks up the fight & takes us to the principal's office, I'M the one that gets blamed for starting the fight & I'M the one that gets punished for it!!
As a kid, did you ever get punished for shit you never did?
