annoyingwizard: After a long courtship with their father, and having her see how both of the *children* behaved over time; the first order of business, after she became their mother, was to have a punishment room built in the basement of the home. It was nothing short of amazing, how fast *the children’s* behavior improved. Especially so, when you take into consideration, that, the *children* were twenty year old twins. The lauding of praise and encouragement she got from neighbors and close family members did nothing for their [joint] campaign to have her strict policies done away with. Whatever you’re doing, she was told, keep it up! She smiled and said to those that offered such support [tongue and cheek], It’s Not so much what I keep up; as it is to what I take down (eluding to the fact that she spanks a bare bottom). Her control over the former non-responsive, undisciplined pair was never more evident than when over relatives’ houses; where, when either of them had to be *corralled in* all it took was a jester to “get over here” and a whispered warning into the *child’s* ear, that usually got the undesirable behavior to cease- immediately. When questioned, as to how she managed to exert such *influence*, she said, as non committal as she could be, I just give them a *glimpse* into a possible immediate future - One that would definitely not be as comfortable for them as they appreciate now. I simply offer them a choice. She left the *details* dangling and left to the imagination, as “how uncomfortable* or exactly how she would make their *future* uncomfortable. But it was really No secret. The *children* were made to attend church with her. and there were times when one or both of them had *noticeable* trouble sitting down on the hard pews. At times like these there were *golf applause* or knowing head shakes, approving of her continuing effort to raise well behaved children (even if the children were “almost” adults]. -- source link
