 | Hi Brian
Just to briefly answer your query about why I believe that treating girls and boys differently in disciplinary matters can breed resentment. I remember my school days in the 1960s when this was the case and the boys were always moaning about the fact that, for the same offence, they'd get the slipper or even the cane, whereas a girl would probably "only" be spanked over the teacher's knee. We, on the other hand, used to complain that our skirts would always be lifted for our spankings, but the boys seldom had their trousers taken down (in front of the class at least). So there was some friction.
I remember when I was 16 and had been caught "canoodling" with a boy from my class in the school gym. We were both taken to the headmaster to be punished. We both had to bare our bottoms, but whereas I just spent a few minutes across his lap getting a good spanking, he was bent over the desk and caned. He was so cross about this that he didn't speak to me again for the rest of the term!
Anyway, to get back to your problem, I hope things are resolving themselves and your eldest step-daughter has now come to terms with her new family situation. If she hasn't, then I agree with what everybody else is saying and you must give her that spanking. But I still think that success in this regard can be achieved without resorting to a belt.
Good luck, and let us know the outcome. |
