Perfect

"Tess, come here, in front of me!" Ethan ordered sternly. "Look at me!"

Your disobedience and your backtalk must stop little girl! You do what Mom and Daddy tell you to do immediately or you will be punished! Am I clear?"

" Yes Daddy! But I was playing!"

"No matter what you are doing! You OBEY! It's not the first time you've been punished for the same thing Tess, that's enough! I'm going to be tougher this time! Look at me!"

"You are restricted all week little girl!"

It was actually Friday, it had only been two days, but it sounded like he was punishing her for a month!

"This means that I forbid you to leave the house except with Mom or myself! Since you cannot be trusted to stay inside the fences in the yard! You will not take care of your chickens this week!, one of your brothers or sisters will replace you, since you are unable to obey and come when they call, you have lost the right to take care of them! Finally for your cheek and sticking your tongue out to Mom, you will go to bed immediately after dinner this week and you have two spanks coming. One will be with the spoon! We have already had this particular conversation more than once Tess! Your tongue stays in your mouth where it belongs! I love you! I am severe, I know it, but this behavior must stop! Go pee in the potty that is under your bed."

The little girl was already crying and sniffling to see her daddy so angry and harsh with her.

"I already ... I peed ... Daddy, I know you want it before you spank me."

"Okay, so you knew your behavior was naughty and that I would be angry?"

" Yes Daddy."

"So in the future, obey to avoid being punished! Did you understand your punishments correctly? It's a lot to remember! This afternoon, after your nap, i want you to draw a picture for me showing all the punishments i gave you. Mom will help you, then we will post in your room for you to remember.

"Yes Dad!"

"Come on, let's get the spanking over with!"

Ethan pulled his little girl's panties down, settled her on his knees, face down, lifted her dress, then lowered his hand as hard as would be reasonable with a three year old,

The sound of his hand echoed in the room.

"Sorry Dddaddy! I'll bbbe good!" The child cried.

Ethan had to harden his heart to continue. He grabbed the wooden spoon.

"I don't like to spank you with the spoon, Tess. I love you so much! I can't let you be mean with your behavior!" NO MORE CHALLENGE AND YOU

OBEY WITHOUT SAYING "NO"!"

Ethan hit the exposed small bare butt with the spoon, lightly, he thought the impression was enough, no need for too much pain.

"Ouch! OH! ... yes Daddy!" Tess sobbed.

The plan had worked!

"Apologize to your mother too."

"Sorry Mom!"

"Alright Tess, I forgive you!" Amelia replied.

Then before Ethan even had time to pull up her panties, she threw herself into his arms! Crying against his chest, he hugged her tight! until she calmed down.

"You are forgiven! I love you my darling! So much! Did she have lunch?" The man asked.

"No, not yet, do you want me to fix a tray for her?"

"No, she's been punished enough, I didn't confine her to her room, just to the house. What do you want Tess? Do you want a tray here where you are or do you want time with us and go down to lunch?"

"I want to go down with you."

"Alright, let me straighten your clothes, and we can go downstairs."

After the meal, Tess was exhausted! Ethan knew the little girl needed him after the spanking, like a lifeline, so he had an idea to brighten up her day a bit.

"What if Daddy came to tell you a story to help you fall asleep? You could even snuggle up to me! How does that sound?"

"Is that real Daddy? Am I not being punished?"

"No, you'll never be punished by not getting a story and hugging Tess! That's a promise! What did I punish you for? There are three things, do you remember?"

"Yes Daddy! Don't go out of the house alone, don't take care of my chickens, and ... go to bed early?"

"Yes! You remember your punishments well! But why did I punish you?"

"Because I passed the yard fence I didn't obey when Mom called me I was still playing with my chickens and… .. I don't have to say no, answer back, stick my tongue out and .. .I must obey?"

" Yes! Bravo! You got it all right! I'm proud of you for remembering!" Ethan praised her.

The man grabbed the little girl, laying her over his shoulder as he carried her up the stairs, tickling her! The child was screaming with laughter! Sitting on her bed, Ethan picked up the picture book and began to read. Tess was snuggled against his chest, rocking between his voice and the steady sound of his heart, she quickly fell asleep!

As soon as he got down, Amelia threw herself into his arms!

"Oh Ethan I love you so much! You were so fair but stern with her! you are a unique man! No one in the world comes close to you!"

"Thank you darling! You are still blinded by your love!" The man teased.

"No, not at all!, when you said you were going to be tougher, I was thinking spank harder! But no! You put her on restriction, took away her chickens and made her go to bed early. Those are hard for her, but not painful, that much is fact! You punished her for her chores! You are the only one who can think of a such punishments! and having her do the drawing? That was so smart! You managed to make her write like an essay on her behavior at three years old!"

"The strength of the spanking is limited with a three year old! I had to find something else. Amelia, you see me with the eyes of love!"

"No, I see you as you are! Perfect! You can be so strict, but the next moment, so sweet and cuddly, our children adore you Ethan! You saw how you took the place of James in just a few months? He was never the father you are!"

"Thank you my love, but I think you overestimate me! I'm just trying to be a good father." He kissed her tenderly.

"You are the best husband and the best father!"

At the end of the day, when Ethan returned, he sent Adam and Claire to collect the cows from Mr. Stone. Meanwhile, Jessie, Jason, Ben and George had been ordered to prepare the stalls for their arrival, with fresh hay and water. As Ben and George obeyed, Jessie grabbed Jason by the arm at the side.

"I don't want to clean stalls! What if we followed them? It's more fun to go get the cows!" Jessie exclaims quietly.

"Yes, but if Daddy catches us, we'll be in trouble! I don't want Daddy to be mad at me! And I don't want a spanking! It hurts in my butt and in my heart, I want our new daddy tobe proud of me! "

"Jason! Stop pretending to be baby!" Jessie growled, "You come where I say or I tell him you stuck your tongue out at Mrs. Dodd!"

"It's not true! I did not!"

"No, but Daddy will believe me and you'll get a good spanking!"

The two took off.

"Amelia, I need you to keep Tess down here for a while with you, I see she's still busy with her drawing. I need to have a chat with Joseph. Has he' been staying in his room since he got back from school? "

"Yes, he told me that you punished him and that he should not leave his room. I didn't have to scold him. I'm sorry my love, with eight children, you still have at least another spanking to give. It seems too much!"

"Don't worry sweetheart, I took the job! I knew very well what I was getting myself into! Plus, it keeps my muscles strong!" He said teasingly with a smile.

Ethan walked into his son's room who was reading on his bed, and he sat down next to the boy.

"Come here son! In front of me!"

Joseph obeyed.

"Do I have to repeat to you why you have this spanking coming Joseph?"

"No Pa."

Ethan unbuttoned his son's pants, pushing them to his knees, followed gently by his underwear. "Lie on my knees to receive your spanking."

Joseph obeyed.

There was no redness in the bottom anymore. Ethan raised his hand and administered a severe spanking, on the exposed small bare butt, each slap was strong andrelentless.

"Ohw! sorry Papa! I will be good! Ah!"

Each blow echoed in the room and made the little boy cry out!

After the five promised spanks, Ethan stopped and straightened his son's clothes.

The man waited for Joseph to throw himself into his arms, he still did. Ten seconds later he had a repented little boy sobbing against his chest. Ethan put his arms around the child and hugged him tight!

"It's over, I forgive you! I love you Joseph!, But if you do it again, all your spanking will be with my belt! Do you understand me?"

"Yes sir!"

"Well, you put on your nightgown and go to bed right away, You can read until I get you a supper tray."

"Yes Pa!"

At dinner that night, everyone was talking about cows, milk, cheese and all the good things they could do!

"It was hard to clean the stalls just us two Papa! Even though Ben did the hardest part!" George said innocently.

"Just you two? How's that?" Ethan asked. Then his eyes turned sternly to the twins. "When I give an order, I expect to be obeyed! Where were you when the boys were doing what I told you all to do?"

Jason was looking at Jessie.

"Jason! Come here!" Ethan said pointing at the ground in front of him. He knew Jason would be truthful, Jessie could lie.

The child continued to look at his sister.

"Eyes on me son!" Jason obeyed.

"I'm waiting for a response Jason!"

"Well we ... followed Adam and Claire" Jason said quietly.

"Go to your rooms! Now! I want your nose in the corner!" The man scolded severely, he was furious! Anything could have happened to them! He was restraining himself so as not to put them on his knee in front of everyone.

Ten minutes later, Ethan entered Jason's room. The little boy was facing the corner. Ethan sat down on George's bed.

"Come here my son." the man ordered. "Look at me and tell me everything! From the start."

Jason recounted what had happened, leaving nothing behind.

"Jason, I wouldn't have believed her!" Said the man.

"Really?"

"Really, my son! I know her and I know you, you would never do that! I'll check with you about any accusations that come to me before I punish you, like I do now, youunderstand? "

"Yes Daddy!"

"Well, on the other hand my son, you could have said no, and come to see me, instead, you chose to follow Jessie and disobey me! I warned you the last time that youwould be responsible for your choice, so I'm going to spank you Jason. Next time think about your butt and make the right decision."

"Yessir!" And there, to the man's surprise, Jason threw himself into his arms! "Sorry! Do you still love me Daddy?"

Ethan hugged him tight! Of course I love you, you're a great little boy Jason! it's okay for you to do stupid things, and it's my daddy job to punish you, you will become agood and fair adult Jason, like each of my children."

"Are you going to take my pants and shorts down?" Jason asked.

"No they can stay put; you were honest I appreciate that, on top of that, Jessie bullied you. It's hard to resist I know, but try harder next time! I promise you that I will be more indulgent ifyou come to see me! "

"Yes Dad!"

Ethan put the child on his knees face down and gave an easy six slaps, just to score his point, on the back of his son's pants. "The last two are for disobeying me!" He loweredhis hand two more times, a little harder."

"OH! Sorry Dad, I'll be good!"

"I forgive you Jason!" Ethan said hugging the child.

"I love you so much Dad! I apologize!"

"I love you too son! You'll clean all the stalls alone with Jessie tomorrow, George and Ben did it today, it is fair for them to rest tomorrow."

"Yes Dad! That's fair."

Ethan then walked into Jessie's room, she was sitting on her bed. Ethan felt his mood darken!

"What didn't you get about 'stick your nose in the corner' little girl?" The man scolded sternly as he unbuckled his belt and pulled it through the loops of his pants. The little girl challenged him again! Ethan wanted to turn the child over immediately and lower his belt! But he didn't. Taking it upon himself to calm down first.
