Subject: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:58:36 08/30/12 Thu Well I got in trouble at school already and so did my sister Taylor. I made it to Wednesday, she only got to Tuesday. Her's wasn't all that big a deal. Taylor has this habit of talking in class. She can't help it, she's always been like that. She's always talking. She even talks in her sleep. That is no lie cause I used to share a room with her and she talks in her sleep. But all she got was a day of detention and a demerit. She didn't think the demerit was fair. Mine was a little worse at least according to my mom. We had our first all school Mass yesterday. so it's the whole school and our teachers and a lot of parents come. So I was sitting with my friends Jeremy, Braden and Julien. We are all in the same class again this year. Jeremy is kind of a class clown. He started making thse stupid little noises during Mass and we couldn't help but start to giggle and laugh. He was also mocking Father W which was also pretty funny. i mean you can't help it when he gets started. So we got busted. Our teacher and the principal took us out of the church and to the office during the sermon. That was embarassing with the whole school and my mom watching us leave. I knew where my mom was sitting and I tried not to look at her. I did though and the look on her face wasn't good. She stayed ther though. We went back in after our principal handed out our punishments. We all have to write lines and turn them in by Friday. We got 2 demerits each too. We alos had to go to Father W and apoligize after the service. He was kind of cool about it but you could tell he didn't want it to happen again. my football coach made me and Jeremy run all during practice yesterday and benched us for one quarter for today's game. the worst part was the chewing out I got from my mom. She found me before we went back to class and told me something like "we are so going to talk when you get home young man." It was something like that. No spanking though but the chewing out I got made up for it. then i had to hear it from my dad when he got home. This isn't the first time i got in trouble for something like this. Kevin has acutally been pretty good so far. He's scared of his teacher so that's probably why. Shannon is doing good. Her teacher is the same one the rest of us had for third grade. She is really nice. So that is our first week of school so far. And it's not even Friday yet. I got to go to bed so goodnight everyone!

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: PJ to Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:14:58 09/01/12 Sat I got in a little trouble yesterday. I was in Anatomy and Physiology lab. We were told we would do dissection practice. I was stoked - I love to dissect. Well, the teacher gave us earth worms. They were nice plump ones but, still, a worm!! I did worms in Bio I and so I was disappointed and bored and I complained. I was told we were to refresh our skills on something familiar. Something came over me and I just chopped my worm into little pieces instead of doing the assignment. The teacher came by and gave me an F for the lab. I was upset. I begged for a new worm. My parents do not say anything about grades IF we try our best but I knew failing a lab would be huge to them especially since it was all my fault. Sean, I am embarrassed but I went to the restroom and bawled like a baby b/c grades are important to me and I knew this one was all my fault. The teacher asked me to stay after school. We talked and he agreed to give me a new worm. I did the assignment and did it well but lost 15 points for my stunt. So, I made an 85 on what would have been an easy 100. I did tell dad. He thought about spanking me but I ended up with no TV for a week instead. I get so silly sometimes. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:19:44 09/01/12 Sat Hi PJ. Disecting worms? Cool! I can't wait for high school. Sorry you got in trouble though. At least you didn't get spanked but losing tv sucks. I don't know if I would have told my dad though. I figure the less he and my mom knows the better for me. He probably would have found out anyway. I get upset about grades too. I do prety good at school most of the time. I'm like you though if I don't like something I don't try hard. I think we all get silly sometimes. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi & Avraham [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:38:37 09/02/12 Sun Looks like both you guys need to learn to chill during school! Sean- I bet you were lucky to get off without a spanking at home or at school- or both. Maybe you should think about not sitting with your two buds. If they are getting you in trouble, it might not be worth the laughs sitting with them. Your laughs might end up in tears! PJ- I hope you can stop being bored during school, because if you get bored again, and get in trouble, your Dad might not go so easy on you at home! Good luck to both you guys. We are really lucky! Our school keeps us so busy and is so interesting- we don't get in trouble. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi & Avraham to Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:44:57 09/02/12 Sun What happens with the demerits at your school? How long do they stay on the record? What happens when you get so many? And, after that? At least demerits at school don't automatically mean aspanking at home! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:32:59 09/02/12 Sun Hey you guys! Good to see you and your brothers again! We get demerits at school for just about anything. You can get them for being tardy, chewing gum, general misbehavior, not turning in homework you know stuff like that. You can even get a demerit for not having your demerit card. We have to turn them in to our teacher at the end of the week. If we don't, we get a demerit. Most stuff is just 1 demerit but more serious stuff gets you more. Like misbehavior at Mass can get you anywhere from 1 to 5 demerits. I got 2 for last week at school Mass. It's up to the teacher or principal how many you get. Lying or swearing gets you 5. So if we get 5 demerits we have to do a teacher referral which means we talk with our teacher and talk about your behavior. That goes home to our parents. If you get 10 then you got to go see the principal or assisstant principal and a school counselor and do whats called a office referal. You also get to have lunch with them for 3 days and you write a behavior contract. That also goes home to our parents. If you get more than 10 it just gets worse. The demerits go back to zero at the end of the quarter except if you have 30 or more at the end of the year you can't go on the class trip. We get a trip over one of our parents knee with the paddle for every 5 demerits. So i got 2 now if I get 3 more i get a spanking. So that's kind of how it works. there's other punishments too like detention and in school suspensions. What do they do at your school when you get in trouble? Do you get spanked at home for getting in trouble at school? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi & Avraham to Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:02:31 09/03/12 Mon Our school is really different from other kids' schools. At least, that is what our parents tell us, and I guess it's true. I mean- I don't really know, because I never went to a "regular" school. Our classes are small. Last year, my biggest class was 8 kids, including myself. My smallest class was three kids- including me. When a class is that small, it is kind of hard to get in trouble, you know? Plus. our classes are sort of where the Instructor helps the student and then we work the problems till we need more help from the Instructor. My Dad says that public schools and regular private schools are a lot different. When I was in first grade I sort of remember a kid or two standing in the corner for a while. I don't remember much more than that. I never heard of anyone getting in trouble at school, Sean. Well, there was a time last year when some kids were pushing and shoving in recess, and they had to stay inside for a week. I think they might have had to write lines, but I am not sure about that. My Dad said that if we were bad we could get sent to the Principal's Office, and there could be a Parent-Principal conference. If it was bad enough, we could even get kicked out of school. If it wasn't that bad, the Instructor could send a note to our parents. Either way, my Dad said that we'd get a spanking that we would remember for a long time, plus he would add on a lot of other consequences. No thank you! I am glad we don't have the demerits at our school. It seems like it's too easy to get those things! And a spanking for every five is just too many spankings earned too easily! I feel sorry for you guys, Sean! Is that all true even for the lower grades? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:59:29 09/03/12 Mon Hi guys. Your school sounds really different. I thought mine was small. I think there are about 17 kids in my class this year. I don't how many are in the other 7th grade class. I don't know anything about public schools. I never been to one. I have some friends who go the them and they seem to like it. it's just not as strict as our school. I don't like getting demerits but my parents always say if i stay out of trouble i shouldn't have any problems. I don't think they remember what it's like to be a kid. It works a little different for the kindegardeners up to 5th grade. There demerits go to zero at the end of each month instead of the quarter. I still found a way to get way too many in amonth sometimes. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Micheal [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:32:04 09/04/12 Tue Hope today was better. Sounds like you got to be careful about not getting any more demerits. Specially not 2 at a time! Tell Kevin I said hi. I hope he's keeping his head down too. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi & Avraham to Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:43:57 09/05/12 Wed Hi, Sean. We both hope that you, your sisters and your brother are all behaving at school and at home and are sitting comfortably today. We were wondering if with the demerits that you all get at your school, are you able to go through a whole quarter with no demerits? If not, can you avoid an y spankings for getting five demerits? Are you able to keep us advised of how you are doing on these through the school year? Maybe we will give medals to the ones that do best on these things.... Good luck! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:54:07 09/07/12 Fri Hi you guys. If you get 2 or less demerits in a quarter you get a free dress day at school. that means you don't have to wear your school uniform for one day. I actually got that a few times and so has Taylor, Shannon and Kevin. And no we can't avoid a spanking if we get too many demerits. Our parents are pretty strict about that. We get spanked for every 5 demerits we get at school. I will keep you guys updated on how i'm doing. That would be great to get a medal! :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi & Avraham [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:18:39 09/08/12 Sat Hi Sean! Well, it would be a virtual medal, of course.... We noticed that Taylor won't be coming here any more, Sean. Is that because of something having to do with the posts about what Avraham wrote, and that posts have not always been supportive? If this is the case, let me know? In the meantime, keep up the good behavior! And, I don't know if you ever get any TV restrictions, but we can, and now that Football season is here, we need to avoid that! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:28:38 09/09/12 Sun Yeah she is kind of upset with the moderator because she wrote a post about something PJ and Nathan wrote and it got deleted. She said there wasn't anything disrespectful in it. I honestly didn't see what she wrote but our mom approved it before she posted it. What really got Taylor mad was that Nathan had said somthing against church and the bible and that got posted but her post didn't get approved and then got deleted. It looks like all those posts got deleted though. so that's all I really know. We do get no tv as punishment sometimes. When we get that we have to stay in our room except for eating, going to the bathroom or going to church and school. It really sucks when you got to stay in your room for a whole week. You guys stay out of trouble so you can watch football this year. do you watch pro and college? I like both but college is way more fun I think. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi & Avraham [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:34:53 09/09/12 Sun Well, I didn't see what your sister wrote for my brother's thread, but I am sure it was respectful and supportive, because everything else Taylor has written has been that way. The whole thread was taken down because PJ felt that it was going to be upsetting to Avraham, and he was trying to prevent that from happening. See, it wasn't really about what Taylor had written- it was just that your sister's post was in the middle of the thread. I think that your sister should reconsider her decision to leave; Avraham and I both wish she would! Please, Taylor? My Dad suggested that maybe your Mom try writing a letter to the Moderator and ask him to explain what happened and why.We both just think that Taylor didn't do anything wrong, and her post was just in the middle of stuff that got deleted in an attempt to spare Avraham's feelings. Come on Taylor; please come back! Avraham just feels bad that something he wrote caused a lot of trouble for a whole lot of people. Sean, our school gives a TON OF HOMEWORK! We get very little time to watch TV in general, because our parents want us outside after school as much as possible instead of sitting in front of a TV. So, the only football we watch is the pros. In March we watch the college finals- maybe- if we can. When Avraham got grounded, he lost all privileges completely, but it was "just" for two days. But- it really sucked, and I hope I never get that kind of grounding again! Dad says we could get a loss of TV alone, though, without any spanking. We just hope it wouldn't be when the good football games were on! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:12:39 09/09/12 Sun Hi guys. Don't feel bad Avraham it's not your fault. I guess it got all worked out because Taylor said she is staying with the forum. We really like reading stuff here and posting to you guys. it's been fun so far. We don't get to watch much tv either so when it gets taken away it sucks. we watch mostly the Disney Channel and Nickolodean and stuff like that. There are some other channels too. I get a lot of homework too so that cuts down on tv time. Plus i started confirmation this year so that is like an extra class with homework. and with football practice after school i don't get much time to do other stuff until the weekend. I hope you guys stay out of trouble so you don't miss any games. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi & Avraham to Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:11:28 09/11/12 Tue We mostly just watch Jeopardy and Millionaire and football on Sunday. Our religious obligations also take up a fair amount of time every day, so we know what you mean,Sean. And, we like skateboarding outside as much as we can when we get out of school. Or, bike riding, and tossing a ball or football around. Everyone has been good here. Well, except for my youngest two brothers who got a hand spanking yesterday for throwing Legos at each other when they were arguing! Oh, then they went to bed early, too! Hope everyone at your house is doing good! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:20:31 09/21/12 Fri Hi Sean! I haven't heard from you in a while here, so I thought I would drop a line to you. I hope you are doing well. I hope you have avoided any more demerits, because it'll be a while until they expire, I guess. The spanking with Avraham and Joseph was the first time ever that dad used a hairbrush here, Sean. And, it has scared all of us. The has not been one spanking since Wednesday here! And, usually there is at least one a day here with someone. Sean, our Dad says we have a choice from now on when we earn a spanking. We have to be bare bottom of Dad spanks (which is most of the time); if Mom spanks and we are 10 or older, we can wear undies. But- we have to choose either a beltg or a paddle. Dad made a paddle at his lab's shop last Sunday with us. It is about 4" wide, a half-inch thick and made of maple. It is shellacked and does not have holes. Or, there is a paddleball paddle, but I think we have to use the rectangular paddle. I don't know what I'd choose. I haven't had a spanking in over a year, though. My brothers say a belt spanking burns. I can't imagine a paddle. And, right now Dad takes our pants and undies down. But, he told us that when we turn 12, we'll have to do it on our own. How are your college and pro teams doing this year? And how are things in school for you? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:54:23 09/21/12 Fri Hi Levi. Sorry I haven't been here much. It's been a pretty busy week. We had to take these achievement tests this week & they can be pretty draining. Plus we still had regular school work & football practice. I read about your brothers spankings. that must have been awful. I know how a hairbrush feels. It hurts worse than the paddle. i guess it's good that you get a choice but how do you choose? I never got the belt so i don't know how that feels but I heard about it. We get the paddle mostly and that hurts bad especially when my dad uses it. We always get spanked bare even by our mom. We have to take our pants and underwear down ourself too. My sister Shannon don't though mainly because she's crying and fussing so mom or dad will do it. i'm not so much embarassed about it but it's more like I know what's coming and I get that feeling in my gut. You know kind of tight and jittery. and I still go over my parents lap. I feel like such a little kid when I get spanked that way. My teams are doing allright. We follow Notre Dame football mostly and they are 3-0. Our dad is a huge ND fan. I don't really have a favorite pro team. Maybe the Chiefs but they aren't very good. What teams do you guys follow? I got another demerit yesterday for not turning in a homework assignment on time. I had a choice to take a demerit or stay after school so I took the demerit. I didn't want to miss football practice. i finished the assignment during study period. I got 3 now. The worse part was telling my parents about not finishing my homework. I got a pretty good butt chewing but thankfuly no spanking. I'm doing good at school mostly though. I usually get A's & B's but sometimes a C. Your school sounds intersting. I never heard of one like that. i guess you guys are all pretty smart. That's cool. What kind of work do you want to do as a adult? Are you going to be a scientist like your dad? That would be cool. I'll try to come back here more if i can. I hope you guys don't get anymore spankings with that belt. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi to Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:20:26 09/22/12 Sat Boy, you are real busy with football practice, the religious classes and the school tests. We do our achievement tests closer to Thanksgiving, but we don't really stress too much over them. Sean, that was the worst spanking that our Dad had ever done around here. Like I said elsewhere, Dad said he was "sending a message." For poor Avraham, I think he wrote a book! I guess the worst part of the hairbraush was that many of the swats were all in the same place- the sit-spot crease. Well, that plus the swats were real hard., so it was bad. That is what Joseph said. Avraham is still grounded away in a bedroom, and we are not allowed to talk to him. If we do- we will earn a spanking, Dad said. A few months ago, Dad bought a paddeball paddle, but we were too scared of it for Dad to use it. Then, last week he made one that is rectangular, a half-inch thick, and about 4 inches wide and 15 inches long. We helped him make it, even. It does not have any holes in it. Sean, how old were you when you began getting the paddle, and does yours have holes in it? My brothers are going to take the padde for their next spanking; they already know what the belt feels like. If the paddle is better than the bet, that is what they will pick. I will try to get brave (somehow) and get a test swat from Dad. I already know what the belt is like- check out what i replied to Turtle. You misunderstood something here though, Sean. Right now, Dad or Mom is taking down their pants, and the undies are pulled off just before the spanking. Dad asks if they want to do it themselves, but no one has been that brave! Like you said- it isn't the modesty- it's knowing what happens as soon as theirr bottom is bared. That horrible scared feeling in your stomach that says I don't want to do this! Dad told us that when we turn twelve, we MUST bare our own bottom. I think I can, but Im not sure. Isn't it scary, Sean? But, if all you guys can do it- even Kevin?- we ought to be able to do it! I will talk to my brothers and tell them about you guys! Wow! I guess we are all just wimps, Sean.Oh yes, we get spanked over the lap, too. I haven't been spanked for over a year now. I just hope I can keep it up, you know! Sean, I think it is YOU WHO LIVES DANGEROUSLY! I mean, with the one demerit added to the two you already had, now you have theree. And, it looks to me like it is pretty easy to pick up another two in one incident! Then you'd hit your magic number five, and Oh, Oh! I know you didn't want to miss football practice, but you better be super good in school until it is time for those demerits to expire! I bet your parents were telling you that when they were chwing you out, too!. Do you really think you made the right choice? At our school there are no grades or even grade levels (first grade, third grade, etc.) until we are thirteen years old. Until then, we just get written comments from the Instructors. Last year, and the years before we used to get TONS of homework every night. But a bunch of parents complained, and so now we onlty have 1.5 hours per night! It is so GREAT!!! We can actually play and have fun after school when we get home, now! There is some one else who posts here who is going to go to a school like ours, beginning in January. I will leave it to him to say who he is, though! Our school is hard, but FUN!!! Our Instructors are pretty nice and all of them really know what they teach. And, the classes are super small. So, there is really hardly any any chance of getting in trouble. That is a good thing, because Dad said if we ever bring a letter about our conduct at school home, we will have a lot of trouble sitting comfortably. The truth is, Sean, I don't know what I want to do when I am an adult. I like all my classes, and it is like everything interests me! Yeah, being a scientist wouldf be cool, I guess, but lots of other things are cool, too. What do you think you would like to do? Do you know? Our sports teams are all the pro New England sports teams; the Patriots, the Red Sox, the Celtics and the Bruins.We don't have time to watch the college sports except at the Finals time. But, sometimes we do watch a Harvard game. It'd be cool if you can come back here again soon, Sean. Take care and good luck on behaving in school! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:47:34 09/23/12 Sun Hi. I guess I do live dangerously. I never have been able to stay out of trouble for long. I try but sometimes I do stupid stuff and wind up getting my butt smoked. I almost got one yesterday from my dad. I was being a jerk about stuff all day after my football team lost again. So dad sent me to my room and I thought i was getting it for sure but he just chewed me out for awhile. I did better after that. I think i made the right choice when I took the demerit. I figure I'm going to get another one sooner or later and if I miss practice I get in trouble with the coach. They got me anyway. If we don't take our own pants down for a spanking we get extra smacks with the paddle. We get a warning first then if mom or dad has to do it we will get extra whacks. So it's a good idea to just take them down and get ready. i don't know what i want to be either when I grow up. I like history and stuff like that. I don't know what kind of jobs you can get in history. You don't get grades unitl your 13? Do you have to take tests? What if the teacher don't like you? Can they give you a bad report then? That sounds like a strange system to me but it must work. I'll be coming back more often I hope. You guys stay out of trouble too. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:25:05 09/24/12 Mon Hey, Sean! I still think you should have missed the practice, or been late. I asked my Dad what usually happens when a player does that (he was a Sports Editor for his school paper) and he said that they have to run laps after the practice or the next practice. Then he kind of laughed. Even though I haven't been spanked for over a year, I have been pretty close to it. I do lots of stupid stuff, too. I get sent to my room, and I have been grounded to my room or the house for a day or two. But, a lot of the time, I just sort of see trouble coming and I back out. It's like Adam, my 8 year old brother was playing with Legos with my 6 year-old brother. And, they started yelling at each other about something, and I told them to cool it because Dad was just down the hall. Well, they kept at it. Sure enough, Dad came over, saw them throwing Legos at each other and still yelling. Adam was sent to his room and Dad used the ruler to play the drums on his buns, and spanked Yaakov with his hand. We have a house rule of "no fighting." So, that was Sunday. It was also the second time this happened. Dad talked to Adam a long time so I think something is up about the next time. Oh, Dad let Avraham off the grounding this morning, too. He only did Wednesday night to this morning before breakfast. But, he was supposed to do a week. Dad told us that we need to get what he is going to spank us with and then hand it to him as well as take down our own pants, once we are 12 years-old. So far most of them have gotten the belt from the closet but no one handed it to him. And, no one has taken down their pants. I am pretty sure I can take my pants down okay but when I comes to my undies, I can see myself getting that awful feeling in my stomach and freezing. How many extra whacks would you get if you didn't do it? I asked Dad what would happen if I didn't do it, and he said, "We'll see." I don't like that, you know? Then he said that it won't be enforced until we are twelve. But for me, that is April! Dad said we are all going to make paddles next week. And then, they will either hang on the back of the door or the wall of the bedroom. He said that is to help us accept his authority over us. Man! I don't know if I can bring my friends to my room then! Most of my friends don't even know we are spanked! Where do you keep your paddle? The reason they don't give us grades is because they don't want us to become "grade conscious" and overly competitive. I don't really get it, because we do have quizzes and tests and those are graded. Heck we even have final exams! And those are graded. We compare grades all the time. I never had a teacher not like me and neither have any of my brothers. The comments are very factual and are not really very subjective at all except stuff like getting along with classmates and things like that. It is stuff like, "uses his time efficiently, and is work-oriented." It does not have a lot of opinion stuff on it. I think they get a lot of that when they have these nights twice a year where the parents meet and talk to the Instructors. But, even then, all our folks ever say to us is how well we are doing and that they are proud of us. And, when we get the semester cards, we have always gone out to eat to celebrate. Have you ever really had a big problem with just a few classmates and a teacher? Probably not. So, it's kind of like that in our school. But, I can say, I hate to think what would happen if we did get a letter sent home. Man! Dad would NOT be happy! Okay, Sean. Keep working hard in school and in football. Hope I hear from you soon. Meantime, keep away from those demerits! It's way too easy to get two, it seems to me! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

A couple of weeks ago, Dad took us kids 8 years and older to his labs, where there is a big tool shop for wood and metal. We each made a paddle, and after sanding and finishing them off with shellac, Dad had us hang them in our bedrooms. they are either on the wall, or on the doorknob. And, we each also hung a belt in the closet- "if needed." Dad says that the next one of us who earns more than a hand-spanking, will get their paddle used on them. Everyone here (even me- Levi!)is pretty scared about this. Oh yeah, he also wants us to get either the belt or paddle, and hand it to him when the time comes. Man! I don't know if I will ever bring any friend into my bedroom again. Most of my friends don't know I get spanked. And, if they aren't spanked- it'll look weird if they find out we are. Anyhow, today was a religious holiday, so we didn't go to school. Some of us were a little slow in getting out of bed, and getting dressed to go to services. Well, Dad said that he had a paddle to help us get ready for services. We all sure hurried up after he said that! No one wants the paddle to be used on them! The truth is, we all are scared of it, Sean. So, we are on our best behavior now. Also, Dad pulled me (Levi) aside and said that he was,"concerned about my behavior, and if I didn't watch it, I might be earning a spanking!" When he told me this, I about near fainted, Sean! Well, good luck at being good in school and at home; we don't have demerits, but we do have paddles! Ha, Ha! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Chandler [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:19:25 10/18/12 Thu We are homeschooled so mom is there all the time. We have a point chart we use. When we're good we get stars and if we misbehave we get a poker chip. If we get 5 stars for the day we get to play on the wii for half an hour. If we get 5 poker chips we have to get a spanking. If we get 6 or more we have to get it by dad. I usually get 5 stars everyday. Since school started again I've only gotten 3 spankings and just 1 by dad. I've never gotten it with a paddle before but I do get it with the belt sometimes. I'm sure the belt is worse than a paddle.

My brothers say a belt KILLS! I (Levi) sure don't want to find out! We have a Wii game system, too! We like the bowling and the Wii Fit programs, as well as the Jeopardy, Millionaire and the football, and baseball games. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I'm probably not that good behaving at school. Had some problems end of last year. Been ok so far i guess. Seems like a pretty fair system unless its real easy to get poker chips. How do your sibs do with it? I aint got it with a belt. but i hear its bad. mine are plenty bad already! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Guess she hears you dudes getting it and knows how to behave. My 8 year old brother Daniel gets it more than me usually. Maybe about 2 or 3 times a month but sometimes more. I get about 2 a month maybe. Daniel got it on Saturday for getting in trouble when he was on a sleepover. I still ain't got out of him exactly what they were doing but he said something got broke. Misbehaving when you are out is a big deal here. Always gets you spanked. Did you guys do anything fun over the weekend? My friend Eric slept over here on friday and then we carved pumpkins on Sunday. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: First week of school - alrady in trouble Author: Levi, Avraham, Joseph & Yitzchak [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:45:15 10/31/12 Wed My brothers (the twins, 9 years-old Joseph and Yitchak) got the paddle for the first time Saturday- they got 3 firm swats bare butt, and Avraham got 4. Dad said next time there will be more swats- he went "easy" because it was the first time with the paddles. they got it for breaking a house rule- no wrestling in the house. They were in the twins bedroom which is right over Dad's office. Dad heard a bunch of noise when they knocked down some books and stuff on the desk. Dad came upstairs, looked in the room and saw them wrestling around! He was mad! He told Avraham that he was going to get an extra swat because he wasn't admitting that he was involved. But Dad told him he saw him on the floor with the twins! He still didn't admit anything! I don't understand my brother sometimes! They cried after the paddlings! I don't ever want to get paddled! Dad also made them all take off their own pats and undies. That was the first time they did it, and Dad told them they have to do that from now on. Saturday night the twins stayed at my cousin's house and I (Levi) had a friend from school stay overnight with me. We watched some old movies (Laurel % Hardy, and the Three Stooges), and played some video games, and drank lots of hot chocolate and ate pizza. Then, Sunday we went exploring in the woods and climbed trees. It was fun! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The first time with the paddles were not a bad spanking at all (only three licks, and not all that hard, really); but Dad said that the next time that we got in trouble it was going to be more licks and harder. He also is now having us take down our own pants and undies. If we don't do it, we'll get extra licks. So, we do it. We sure don't want any extras! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
