My eldest caused minor harm to our youngest and I instinctively slapped him. He said "you hit me." We were both kind of stunned at the sequence of events.
I quietly hate myself for striking him but he got the message instantaneously about rough housing around a 5 month old.
I don’t hate my self for anything
Much less spanking
They’ll all be good men
My wife sure lacked the mettle
Like most women she indulged and coddled then when when. They’d get defiant or crazy she implore me to “do something”
Unless she lost her cool and she’d pull hair or slap
Two Girls Three Boys in that order
My dad who who whipped hard with a Luchese tooled belt would always say it hurt him more than me
I thought the hell you say
Worst whipping I ever got was a Jackson Prep in MS from the famous football coach with a wooden leg Jack Carlisle
One of country’s winningest high school football coaches who I played for as well till aged 16.

I got in trouble with my lifelong best bud who also played ball and we were sent to his office
Well we decided maybe she’d forget she sent us if we just neglected to show up
Next class the prissy office runner came in slip in hand grinning as Carlisle called us both in
He had us reach over a big wooden chair while he pulled down his big frat paddle perfectly perforated for sting and light weight about 30 inches long
My bud went first and took 7 full bat swing swats as he pivoted on that wooden leg
Tears
Next my turn.....8 for me as instigator
For the next week my lower buttocks were purple and yellow like eggplant and raspberry cupids kisses everywhere
Man you’d get a charge for that today
Even my dad was like wow
Makes u tuff
Way I see it I had it coming
