Hi Aunt Kay,
I just came across your website a little while back and I must say that I find it wonderful! I have been married 21 years and spanking my husband comes naturally. Let me explain.
While growing up, my mother did all of the spanking in our house, and that included spanking my father. My mother thought it was necessary to blister my backside a few times, but my brothers were on the receiving end much more often. She explained to me several times that boys needed serious discipline if they were going to be worth anything later.
She never told me that she spanked my father, but I know that she did because I could hear the spanking sessions through the furnace duct in my room on the second floor, because she spanked him in the basement. She would also make comments to dad if she were mad at him that she "would take care of him later". When she said this, I knew dad was in for a spanking. I made sure that I would stay up that night to hear the proceedings. There were times when I heard the familiar whack of the paddle or strap on my dad’s behind followed by the pleading and apologizing.
There were also times when I could hear my father begging for mercy, but I could not hear what was causing him so much discomfort. One time I dared to go downstairs to listen to one of these sessions, and when I got to the top of the basement stairs I could hear a whistling sound and a slight whack which was followed by my dad’s pleading for mercy. I did not know at the time what she was using, but I found out later that it was a cane because she used it on my brothers when they got older.
I would watch my dad with great interest the day after I knew he had gotten punished and noticed him sitting gently at the dinner table. He explained that he had a "bad back" but it sure did look like my brothers when they tried to sit after a spanking. Mom just smiled at his lame explanation.
So now I spank my husband like Mom used to spank dad. He needs a spanking several times a year and I do my handiwork in the basement of our house also. I use a paddle or a strap for general laziness, and I always leave him bruised and sore for a few days. I save the cane for more serious infractions like the time he got a speeding ticket or if he treats me disrespectfully in front of friends. It never ceases to amaze me how a session with the cane improves his behavior. In general, our yard is always immaculate, and he has become a very good housekeeper and cook. My mother definitely knew what she was talking about!
