Baby Gap
We got this 7 pack of onesies from some one as a gift for the new kid. They’re labeled for each day of the week (we have one for Monday, Tuesday, etc.). These are useless in terms of getting a week’s wear out of them because babies go through about 4 outfits per day. My big money idea is to sell a 12 pack that starts with 1:00. 2:00, etc.
Junior has gone up until recently without ever having her bottom spanked. Well, that changed when she threw one of my big size 10 1/2 shoes and almost hit the new baby. This was after my verbal warnings to her to stop doing that near the baby. I picked her up and gave her a little pop on her butt. She laughed. I popped her butt just a bit harder. She laughed again. Third time, I connected and go her attention. Now, whenever I tell her no and get out of my seat, she puts her little hands over her butt and runs. She does this whether I plan on spanking her or not.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled light blogging.

Judicious use of spanking can be a very good thing; it’s just a matter of finding the right balance, so that you’re not doing it too much, but not too little either.
As an aside, the only “time out” I ever got as a child was an injury timeout.

Not sure if your Junior is still in diapers or not; mine is, which means spanks have to go to the thighs-the butt is too well padded.

Good.

Establish who ie the alpha male early on, and you have MUCH less trouble down the road, not to mention less need to repeat the lesson. This is the voice of experience speaking.

Just don’t ever do it in a public place. Or even semi-public. I got a visit from the MSP because I spanked my son for kicking his sister in the head.

How dare you!!! This is child abuse! Spanking is just another form of brutality that should be outlawed, along with any other form of discipline that may negatively impact a child’s self esteem!

Gasp! I’m sure Junior will be scarred for life. You’re a terrible parent. DCFS is on their way.
