Sorry for the delay between entries, but … I'm pregnant! I'm so excited.

With doctor's appointments and other things going on, new posts may be a bit slower for now. I'm putting up part 1 of an interview today, and before that, I wanted to give one tip for something I found really useful. 



Tom recently started his own business, which has been great except that we lost the health insurance he had through his work. We started off paying about $800 a month for not very good insurance through Esurance. I was looking up options that would be less expensive and saw one called Medi Share which is Christian healthcare.

We're now paying under $200 a month and everyone there is so nice. When you call up you talk with someone who actually seems happy to help and they ask if you would like to pray with them. Everything has worked so well with it.

This site on Medishare is the one I found on Google that talked about how it worked since it's different from other insurance plans. So I know it doesn't have anything to do with domestic discipline, but it's made a huge difference for us and that's why I'm putting it in the blog in case it can help other people too :)

---------------------

Like in my last spanked wife interview, Rachel and I met online and realized we had a lot in common, from being in a DD relationship to both teaching kindergarten. We chat now a couple of times a week, and her own domestic discipline situation has one interesting wrinkle! So I had to get her to give us the details :)

Me: Hi Rachel, thanks for doing this interview! Tell us about yourself.

Rachel: My pleasure, I've never done an interview before :)

Me: Tell us about yourself.

Rachel: I'm 26, recently married to a wonderful man, and about to start my second year as a kindergarten teacher. 

Me: You know the title of my blog Rachel. And you probably know what I'm going to ask you next :)

Rachel: Lol yes

Me: You're involved in a sort of spanking triangle right?

Rachel: OK, so my sister Lynn (she's 22) has been making a real mess of her life recently. I wanted to invite her in to live with us and get back on her feet. DH agreed but with one condition: she would be subject to the same rules and discipline that I am.

Me: So your sister could move in as long as he got to spank her for breaking the rules? And from the picture I saw of you guys, would you say these two look like you and your sister?

Rachel: Yes, well either of us would spank her for breaking the rules. And lol thanks, but I'm definitely not as pretty as that brunette! Lynn looks a lot like the blond girl though.

Me: OK so what did you tell your husband about spanking your sister?

Rachel: That it was a great idea. She's a nice girl but she can be pretty bratty and stubborn sometimes.

Me: Haha I know what you mean about sisters. What did she say when you sprung that on her?

Rachel: Well, like you Katie we were both spanked well into our teen years, so it probably wasn't as surprising to her as it would've been to most 22 year olds these days. She just kind of laughed it off and agreed, I mean she didn't really have much choice, and I think she thought it wouldn't come to much.

Me: Was she right about that?



​Rachel: ​No not at all! Since moving in, between my husband and I she's gotten her butt whipped with a belt, spanked with a hairbrush, paddled, and everything in between. Truth be told, I've really enjoyed correcting her attitude ... I just wish I could have done it when we were growing up :)

To be continued!

This is an interview I did with a woman I met in an online domestic discipline forum. We've since had the chance to meet in real life and became good friends. Enjoy!

Me: Thanks for doing this interview!

Jenny: You're welcome!

Me: Tell us a little about yourself.



Jenny: I'm a stay-at-home-mom with three beautiful girls. I'm 37 and have been married since I was 24.

Me: I know you don't want me to use your actual picture, but looking online I think you look a lot like her ... wouldn't you agree?

​Jenny: You flatter me Katie :)

Me: Not at all! But let's get down to business :) How did you first get into domestic discipline?

Jenny: My sister-in-law. I've always been in awe of how great her relationship is with my brother. One night we had been drinking a lot of wine and I kept asking her about it, and finally she told me.

Me: That he spanks her?

Jenny: Yes, how she has rules that she gets punished for breaking, usually by getting spanked with a paddle or belt.

Me: Wow, what was your reaction?

Jenny: I was shocked at first. We were spanked growing up until a late age, or at least I was. Come to think of it, seems like kind of a double standard to stop spanking a boy at 12 and a girl at 16! But anyway, I was still really surprised to hear that. Part of me liked picturing her getting spanked too as she's great but sometimes she can be really controlling. 

Me: Lol. So how did you first bring it up with your husband?

Jenny: I just said to him, "You know what, from now on, if I'm acting like a brat, just spank me. Let's see how it works."

Me: That's a pretty direct approach!

Jenny: I guess that's always how I've been :)

Me: What are his spankings like?

Jenny: They've changed a lot since we started. At first they were real tentative, like he was afraid of hurting me. I told him I was a big girl and to be a man about it. It was a pretty dumb thing to say :)

Me: Lol you are brave :) So he started giving you more serious punishments?

Jenny: Definitely. Since then he started spanking me a lot harder. 

Me: What are common things he spanks you for?

Jenny: Oh the usual, backtalk, disrespect, not doing what he says. He never wrote out rules but I know at this point what will get me punished.

Me: Tell us about a recent spanking. Why he spanked you, what did he use ... give us the details.

Jenny: Well, one thing he's told me a number of times is not to talk about our finances with anyone else. He's really private about that stuff. A few weeks ago he heard me telling Rachel (same sister-in-law) how much more he was making in his new job. What can I say, sometimes I have a really big mouth. When she left, he whipped me.

​Me: C'mon Jenny, we want details!

Jenny: OK well he told me to wait for me in our room. I went up and he came a few minutes later and pulled off his belt. I knew I was in for it big-time then. I pleaded with him that I was so sorry and not to spank me, but he just told me to pull down my jeans and panties. I did, he bent me over the bed, and gave me about two dozen with the belt.



Me: Did you cry a lot?

Jenny: Like crazy! I'm sure you know what it's like. Start off yelling OWWW a lot and crying out, then begging him to stop, then just sobbing and wailing until he decides in his infinite man wisdom that you've gotten enough discipline. I don't mean to complain, I directly disobeyed him and he punished me thoroughly like I needed. Still sucked though :)

Me: I know. Did he whip your thighs too?

Jenny: Low on the butt, maybe very top of my legs, but mainly my butt. It had deep red belt marks criss-crossed on it when he was finished.

Me: :(

Jenny: Then he gave me half hour of corner time which I really hate, before hugging me and comforting me and saying it was over.

Me: Corner time after spanking is the worst!

​Jenny: It really is. I have to stand there with my nose touching the corner and hands at my side.

Me: You said earlier that you were spanked until a late age. I was spanked a lot growing up but was still surprised at how bad Tom's spankings were. How different is getting spanked as an adult for you?

Jenny: I guess they're pretty similar actually. I grew up in a Christian family with strict punishments, usually a whipping from Dad or a long session with Mom's hairbrush. Same whipping different guy now :) In both cases I hate the spanking itself, it's agony. But afterward I feel so much better.

Me: So it helped your relationship a lot?

Jenny: A ton. Like you can probably tell, I have a side of my personality that's always needed to be reined in. He gives me exactly what I need, and we almost never bicker or argue anymore. He's in charge, it's that simple. Not for everyone, but it works great for us. I would never go back.

Me: That's really nice to hear. Thanks so much for doing this interview with me today.

​Jenny: You're very welcome. Good luck with your blog!
