I probably got my *** spanked the first time at age 3 maybe? Don't remember. I do remember she only had to tell me NO once.
Dad was an X marine. But mom did the "deed".
When I got older, I knew NOT to cross mom, or I would be picking my teeth up off the floor. No chit.

i am the one who does the spanking at our house, shoot, i even spank the wife (but thats different)

i have this theory though, that spanking an unruly child pointless
so before i spank my children they get told what they did wrong, what the punishment is, and then...the child has to submit to its punishment and come lay across my lap
if they dont submit, i dont punish them
it once took my middle girl almost 2 hours to get to the point of submission, but she took her spankings, and im pretty sure that was the last time she needed it

yeah there is something about getting older. I had mine young in my 20s, i am not saying I was patient but now in my 50s I look at my wife and we both agree we cant take kids for very long...

our kids are spaced out a little, the oldest is 11, the youngest 3, yeah, there is a difference
