Nicola was in many ways a defiant little girl, who constantly pushed the boundaries, and it was only three days after that first punishment when I had no option to provide her with another stinging backside to teach her a good lesson.
It was Saturday morning, and Nicola had been sulky and rude since she woke up. She received multiple warnings from me, and ended up in the corner for 10 minutes and earning a sweets ban for the rest of the day.
After all this drama,. I needed to go food shopping so I prepared the children and put them in the car. Nicola was still pouting and grumpy and when Alfie d to play with her in the car, she refused and stuck her tongue out at him, resulting in yet another warning of no TV for the weekend.
