Dear Nanny Susan:

I just found your site on my husband's computer. He knows he is not allowed such things without my knowledge. He returns from a business trip in a few hours, and he will be spending the next several days in petticoats with a sore bottom.

 He thought he would enjoy wearing skirts a few years ago, but he doesn't like being petticoated now, believe me. And he really hates the hairbrush. I think I will have him write to you and relate his experience of the consequences of being very naughty this week.

Janet Fletcher

I do not wish to get your husband into more trouble than he is already in Janet, but I have received nothing from him so far. If he has been reading this magazine, then I would hope that he agrees that husbands should be happy to take a meek and subservient role in the marital home. Surely there is nothing wrong with that.

It sounds like you have him well and truly under your thumb, which is where any husband belongs. And to keep a husband submissive, obedient, and adoring, there is nothing as effective as strictly applied petticoat punishment, with spankings as you see fit. I hope you put him over your knee when you give his disobedient bottom a smack, as this really increases the humiliation, and so is a very appropriate adjunct to petticoat discipline.

Nevertheless, please remind him again to write, possibly with the addition of a smack where it will do the most good. How happy marriages would be if all wives followed your example!

I look forward to hearing from him.
Susan
