Parlour
From Spanking Art
A parlour (also spelled parlor) or sitting room is a more formal room where guests can be received and entertained without inviting them into the more private parts of the house reserved for family. It normally contains comfortable chairs and a coffee table, and is decorated with non-private family items often considered too valuable or delicate to have in other parts of the house where the might be damaged by playing children. Children are often not allowed in the parlour unsupervised, and never for play.
In smaller homes, the functions of the parlour are assumed by the living room.
[edit] Parlours and spanking
A parlour is normally more a reason for a spanking rather than a place for a spanking, though an on the spot disciplinary spanking could happen for breach of etiquette appropriate for the room. Or if a non-household member has been invited to witness the corrective discipline is the reason for their visit.
