Tonna: Many DD or CDD couples incorporate the punishment of writing lines as a part of a disciplinary measure. This is often prescribed in addition to a spanking, but can sometimes stand alone as a manner of correction in itself. For me personally, I find it particularly tedious. I enjoy writing, but having to mindlessly write the same line over and over again is enough to make me feel like running screaming into the night! ![]()
Yesterday marked the second time in our relationship that Samuel has had me write lines. The first time had been for repeatedly being late for work, and I had to write the line 200 times. Yesterday it was having disobeyed when I did something Samuel told me I was not allowed to do without his prior, expressed permission. (I’m not going to mention it specifically; it’s just too private.) It was a new rule, and I had disobeyed on the point several times in the few days after it had been put in place. To say I was displeased and in disagreement over this new rule is an understatement, and I acted out defiantly to express my frustration.
I had been sneaking it behind Samuel’s back, which in retrospect seems really silly to me now because 9 times out of 10 my guilty conscience gets the better of me, and I wind up confessing to him what I’ve done anyway. My punishment over the issue is being broken up into a couple parts. First I was spanked for disobeying, then I had to write 100 lines over it, and I’ve yet to be spanked for having lied when Samuel questioned me over the matter. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday and so was spared the hairbrushing I was promised. Today, however, is another matter….
As far as the lines were concerned, though, I think I would actually rather have been spanked twice. It was annoying to write them, and it took much longer than I thought it would. Since Samuel has only had me write lines once before, I had forgotten how long it takes. It is however, effective; I really, really, really don’t want to have to write lines again IN ADDITION to being spanked.
I have a special notebook for him to review periodically in which I record how I’ve been obeying the rules Samuel and I have set down and to keep track of how I’ve failed or misbehaved. It’s in this notebook that I’ve been writing my lines. It’s not something I want to leave lying around, but I do believe in keeping a sort of discipline journal, and I think Samuel finds it helpful as well — it keeps us both on our toes.
Call his bluff and don’t do it!
