The thing that makes me the craziest when it comes to the beautiful Hailey, is her self-sabotaging ways, based on letting others trying to define her. I don't know what makes it difficult for her to understand that simple understanding. She has got countless, painful spankings from me for this repeated behavior. I let her know that she would be punished each and every time this behavior raises its head. The latest was from her own family, which even though she did try to stand up for herself, she still allowed that seed of self-doubt to sprout. I tried to explain that her self-worth was like a stock on the market. Confidence in that stock is as important as the yield. She listened to this comparison, over the loud sound of the wooden hairbrush, meeting her firm bottom. Well, half retention, is better than no retention.
