If you ever ask me to take care of your child, know this, if he needs his butt whipped, I will reluctantly deliver. If you don’t want him to receive a spanking when he needs it, don’t ask me to take care of him.
My friend’s young daughter was told to stay on the porch while he and a couple of others were moving around a large pickup with a boat trailer, a tractor and an RV. She decided to leave the porch to walk out to where the action was - I popped her butt and sent her back on the porch, where she stayed. Later, her mom went ballistic...but I remain content in the knowledge that the girl is alive today.
I don’t have children of my own - but I have had the displeasure of needing to spank my nieces, nephews and a couple of boys I love like they are my own. Not fun. I absolutely hate to deliver a message that way - but they all understood it when I did.
My nieces and nephews are grown, and they love me dearly, as I do them. The two boys are still young, but they love me as much as I love them.
I have seen a few kids get paddled by neighbors, never once saw a kid complain because he would have got another from the parents. Late 1940's
Keep your mitts off other people’s kids
