Smart mouth = Smacked butt

Ok I am getting weary of the smart mouth and I lost it. I warned her twice tonight while getting her ready for bed...."I already went potty..." and then she does this Mimicky singsong repeat of what I just said...So she got spanked hard twice on the bottom.

I really didn't want to be a spanking mom. My mom spanked us a lot, first with her hand, then later with a firemans belt with a brass buckle. I hated that belt and I hated her for using it.

I hope I don't spank her very often. But geesh this child is challenging. I am just feeling like if we let her get away with BS now we are really going to be in for it when she is 13.

I hope she doesn't hate me.
