I Am A Strict Mom

There was an incident recently here that I had to smile about knowing how my daughter was thinking.

My youngest was at the public pool here with us recently and it was fairly busy that afternoon. She being 8 probably thought she was being very quiet when she and her friend were talking but I could overhear pretty easily as it turns out.

They were discussing getting a snack and my youngest was a bit uneasy at doing it because her friend had some money she couldn't explain where it came from (turns out it was "borrowed" from mom's purse") and to top it off they were going to get some sweets that my youngest knew she needs to ask permission to get.

You could see the inner turmoil between wanting to get something nice and enjoy it with her friend and the worry about what would happen if she was caught. Sadly though her 8 year old willpower is not that strong and she went along with the plan.

I wonder if she will try that kind of thing next time or if she has learned for good this time?

@BeckyStone: Oh you as well Becky?

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: Wanting something and knowing what will happen if I was caught.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Yep. Now the question is did you listen to the warning from your bottom or did you take the risk anyway?

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: At that age I sometimes took the risk and sometimes I got away with it. Sometime standing in the corner I blamed myself for being stupid.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

That's about right. Every time I was standing in the corner doing my nose and toes time I swore I'd never be stupid and take those kinds of risks and then not a few weeks later I'd decide it was worth the risk again and there I was in the darn corner again!

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: Oh yes. This is the last time for me. from now on I´m going to behave.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Yes I swear this is the last time! These spankings are not worth the fun I had or I need to watch my mouth and not talk back. Oh how I wish I thought of that before I ran my mouth the next time

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: I was like an angel after a spanking but after few weeks I was back to my old self again.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Most of us work that way I think. And haha lord help you when I was on vacation!

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: I felt good to be well behaved.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Me too most of the time. I loved having my parents praise my behavior or even better hearing it from others. Still at times the rules were a bit too strict for me lol

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: Lol We survived didn´t we.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: We did! Though there were times when I swore my butt was going to fall off or split open!

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: I remeber waking up in the morning and sitting down at the toilette seat. Everything came back.lol

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Oh gosh for sure! Yikes! The worst for me though were the times I had to sit through a school day after a spanking

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: One thing I really hated was when mom told other people that I have had a spanking. Becky misbehaved this morning so I had to spanke her.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Oh gosh that was horribly embarrassing. I can remember wanting to just find a hole and crawl into it when mom got to talking to her friends at Church when I had been spanked recently.

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: And warnings in front of your friends. You know what happened last night. I´m sure you don´t want it to happen again today.Everybody knew!

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Yes they sure did. Worse when mom would give her usual warning swat along with the verbal warning!

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: Those public warning swats. Sometimes that was enough for me.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Yep! The more embarrassing the situation I got a public swat the more likely I was to shape up and not need more!

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: Same for me.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: Gosh can't decide which ones were worse the ones in public out shopping say or at a major family event

BeckyStone

@Kathryn05: Family events for me but both were bad.

Kathryn05 · 41-45, F

@BeckyStone: I agree I think the worst for me were the times I would get swatted in public at the mall knowing some of my peers were around
