Come in, now do I need to ask or are you going to tell me what happened today? I’m giving you a chance to tell me the truth. Oh my god, how dare you! Don’t you dare lie to me. I know you’ve been struggling with this transition, but I’m not going anywhere, you’re just going to have to get used to the idea of your father being with me! I know I’m not your mother, I’m not trying to replace her, but as she’s not here I have a responsibility to take care of you, and unfortunately that does include punishments. Now your behaviour today was totally unacceptable, how could you do that, you made that other boy cry, that wasn’t nice was it? Would you have liked it if somebody had done that to you? Don’t be stupid, of course you wouldn’t, it was horrible and mean of you! What a nasty boy you are, now if you want to act out to me then fine, but don’t you dare take your frustrations out on others. Clearly having a time out, or being grounded isn’t working. And I can’t wait for your father to come home, after a long day at work he shouldn’t have to discipline you as soon as he gets in. I’m afraid you’ve left me with no choice. I was out of control when I was your age too, so I know that this works, so I want you to come here. I'm going to give you a spanking. I don’t want to, but you haven’t listened at all up to this point and your behaviour is getting worse each day. Now I want you to pull down your trousers, and your pants, and you're going to lean your tummy over my knee, don't squirm as I want you to learn your lesson as quickly as possible. Okay now we're down to the last 10 spanks, we'll count down together. Good boy, do you understand why you got that spanking? Now give me a cuddle to make up. Okay now go to your room and play quietly please.
