Hi I'm a mother of 3 boys, 4, 8 and 13. I've been having some problems with the 8 year old as of late. Well yesterday after school the 13 year old and 8 year old got into again for the 3rd time this week so I sent them up to their room for time out. They share a room and they started fighting again. So i went up there and lost my temper.
I told the 8 year old enough is enough and told him he was getting spanked (he had this coming a long time). So i grabbed the desk chair, hauled him over my lap, and gave him a good one on his bare bottom.
My 13 year old was laughing and thought this was funny. So I told I don't him "I know what your laughing at because your next." I wasn't planning on this, but after I was done with the 8 year old, I grabbed the other one and he put up a bit of the fight, but he ended up getting the same treatment as his brother. He thought he was mr tough guy, but cried just like little brother.
I feel bad and am not sure i did the right thing.
