Which can be troublesome since that’s usually when I get a lot of my work done.ĭesperate to convince her to stay in her room I did what any good parent would do. On the nights he’s working, she usually doesn’t. On nights her daddy is off, she usually stays in her room. Then moments after leaving her room she’s coming out wanting to talk, see what we’re doing sleep in our bed, or whatever. We go through a long bedtime routine, read stories, sing songs, and say prayer. Most of our frustrations revolve around bedtime. My husband on the other hand, has given a firmer hand a few times, and in turn, she tends to take him more seriously when he asks her to do something she may not feel like doing. Something to get her attention, but never anything I’d consider remotely damaging. ![]() I definitely don’t see belt whoopings in our disciplinary future, but I will admit to giving a whimpy spankin a time or two. Trust me, it was better than the alternative. It never hurt, but I was smart enough to pretend like it did so she thought I learned my lesson. I think once with a flip-flop, another time with a wooden spoon. ![]() ![]() My mom only spanked me a handful of times. As in, “go grab the belt, you’re getting a whoopin.” Yea, ouch. Growing up I didn’t get time outs, or even spankings. We both know that each child may respond to various tactics differently, whether it is a time out, a talking to, or a spanking. My husband and I never sat down and discussed an official discipline policy for our kids.
