This is what my life is like to avoid fights. I don't like being nagged or told I am dumb. I am the type of person that likes a good punishment if I become lazy or uncompliant. I have a book that Mr. U fills out during the day every time I make a mistake. This of course is if he dosn't take the time to rectify the situation right away. When we had not had the book I must have been really annoying because I have a really black and blue butt at this point, but I don't feel dumb or worthless ever. This style of PLAY works very well for me, you should try it. I often have a list of things I need to do each day if the list is not complete I will get an amount of strikes received from masters choice of tool.
