No >doubt it was healthy for her to hear the >spanking/paddling as a reminder that thr option, and >paddle, still exist. > >Knowing them as you do, does your gut tell you that >the paddle will be going back into retirement now or >do you think it would be used a bit more? > >Warmly, Amanda J. > > >>My name is Peggy and I'm the mother of two wonderful >>children, a son and a daughter. Like a lot of >>parents, we used spanking occasionally on our children >>growing up. Though we stopped around the age of 14-15 >>for both. At least, I thought we did. >> >>My son, Caleb, is 18. For the past few weeks, he's >>been acting up. Nothing major, mainly just attitude >>and a smart mouth. It's like he woke up one morning >>and decided to act like he was 13 again. We tried >>talking to him, warning him, we even grounded him for >>the first time in a long time. But nothing took. >>I've been at my wits end. >> >>Well, last night, he once again smarted off to me in >>front of his sister and it finally pushed me over the >>edge. I took a deep breath and sent him to his room >>to wait on me. I went to my closet and dug out the >>old paddle that's been tucked away for several years >>now, long enough that I considered throwing it away. >> >>It's childish looking, but it always got the job done. >> I went to his room with it and his eyes doubled in >>size when he saw it. At first, he tried to act tough >>and said there was no way and that he was too old. I >>lectured him for a bit and explained why it was >>necessary and why it was absolutely going to happen. >> >>He quickly went from tough to polite to scared but I >>made it clear it was too late. When he started >>pleading that his sister was home and would hear, I >>assured him I knew and that he didn't mind her hearing >>him being disrespectful. >> >>I sat down on his bed and made him stand in front of >>me. I pulled his shorts down and helped him over my >>lap. He was still begging but my mind was made up. I >>pulled his boxer briefs down to his knees and took my >>trusty paddle and told him I hadn't dreamed I'd have >>to do this again but that I loved him and would for >>his own good. >> >>I then proceeded to give him his first spanking in >>about four years. He took it well at first but it >>wasn't long before he was squirming and promising to >>act better. But I kept on paddling him. Soon, he >>sounded desperate and begged me to stop. But I kept >>on paddling. Before too long, he was actively crying, >>something he hasn't done in a long time. >> >>I paddled his bottom long and hard and he sobbed over >>my knee. By the time I stopped, he just laid there >>crying. I allowed him some time to calm down and then >>helped him up. He hugged me and apologized profusely. >> >> >>Both he and my daughter have been more polite and >>respectful since then. I warned them both that the >>paddle is back within easy reach should it be needed >>again. They both know now Mom isn't kidding.
