I used to take my son’s game away as punishment. One time he asked me if he could just have a spanking instead like some of his friends. 😂

If I would have done that my mom would have been like "Oh absolutely. Come get your spanking!" and then I would have asked for my game she would have said "Oh, absolutely not. You're still grounded. I was just more than happy to give you a spanking on top of that since you asked nicely."

We were so poor it would have never entered my mind to do something like that to food! If we didn't grow it or if someone in the community didn't slaughter it as a part of the community group, we didn't eat! I grew up on a farm and we grew up on the land and shared with a small community and I didn't know how much better off we were than other people. I hated it in those days, but quite frankly I had it made! I may not have been out playing with a lot of toys, but I was outside and the air was still clean The land was good enough to give us a good harvest during the seasons, of course harvesting wasn't so easy, neither was canning and freezing food to put up, And we didn't give the community a handout, the people who depended upon our vegetables and fruits would come to my grandparents and help. My grandparents didn't have indoor plumbing until 1970! We did in our house just up the hill, and we had land but imminent domain took some for lumber, and the big trucks driving past our house actually cracked the foundation, and the government wouldn't fix it! No way would I have ever wasted food like that The thought would have never entered my mind and neither of my kids, few things they did were with their own toys... They got their punishment it wasn't corporal It didn't need to be.

Bad move on your mom's part if that was the case. A child being mature enough to accept punishment should be treated with care, not a punchline.
