Jason told me he was going to work this morning but when I came home for my lunch break he was at the house. I sat him down to discuss why he was home when he should be at work and he said he was "sick" this morning. He didn't look too sick when I saw him before I left. I have things to get done on my lunch break and they don't include him, which is why he should be at work.

I've seen this pattern with him before, one day turns into two, two into three and before I know it, he quits his job. I'm not willing to let him do that this time, he has responsibilities like paying rent and ...

Jason told me he was going to work this morning but when I came home for my lunch break he was at the house. I sat him down to discuss why he was home when he should be at work and he said he was "sick" this morning. He didn't look too sick when I saw him before I left. I have things to get done on my lunch break and they don't include him, which is why he should be at work.

I've seen this pattern with him before, one day turns into two, two into three and before I know it, he quits his job. I'm not willing to let him do that this time, he has responsibilities like paying rent and I won't carry him again. He can go to work and pay his bills or he can get out of my house. He's an adult and he needs to start acting as such. Do you know that I carry a paddle around with me all of the time now because I never know when I'm going to have to correct this petulant punk. That is no way to live!

I put him over my lap and begin spanking him with the leather side of my paddle but I am growing angrier with each question he doesn't answer. I'm not going to take it easy on him any more! It's time for some tough love and that means he's getting paddled with the wooden side of my paddle. I don't care if he squirms and whines. I don't care if he hasn't been warmed up and these swats feel like his bottom's on fire. All I really care about is that he learns his lesson and gets himself together. He's not a boy, he's a man and should act like such.

When the squirming stops and Jason seems just a little too comfy over my lap, I have him get up and get into a push-up stance with his bottom in the air, while I continue to punish him with my paddle. His arms shake and quake from trying to maintain this position while I paddle away at his hooky playing behind. Watch!
