I just found your web site a few days ago, and within minutes after I discovered it, I knew I had found something that had the potential to change my family's life.  My wife Jean and I have two boys, age 10 and 12.  We do not have the internet at home, so I excitedly printed several of the letters in your newsletter with your responses and took them home to my wife.  She is ecstatic, because she has always had an interest in what we now understand is referred to as 'petticoat discipline'.  But she never followed up on most of her dream because she thought she was the only one in the world who believed this would be an effective method for raising and managing the males in her life.  I have now shown her much more of what you have provided on your web site, and she is eager to begin turning her dream into reality.

First, let me tell you a little about myself, so you will understand why I share my wife's enthusiasm for everything we have learned from your site in the past few days about petticoat discipline.  When I was growing up, my mother felt that it was important to shelter me from other rough and tumble, boisterous, obnoxious boys.  She knew that by raising me as a sissified little boy, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with those boys, and would prefer to play with little girls, and do the things little girls liked to do.  She never dressed me in girls' clothes, and I never had anything approaching a Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit, but she did keep me in decidedly sissified little boy clothes.

My mother was the undisputed decision maker in our family, and looking back, it is obvious to me that this is the reason why my parents have had such a long and happy marriage.  My father submitted to her way of raising me, and never attempted to have her do anything differently.

I was always a bedwetter (and still am), and as a schoolboy I also wet my pants frequently enough during the day to give my mother reason enough to put me back in diapers and rubber panties during the day as well as at night.  In addition to keeping my clothes dry, that had the effect of ensuring that all of the macho boys wouldn't want to have anything to do with me.  But instead of resenting my mother, I found myself despising most boys and wishing they acted more like the girls who were my friends.  The few boys who were my friends were also considered sissies by the rest of the boys.  This situation continued throughout my school years, and as a result, although I am not a homosexual, I developed a very strong resentment of my own sex and a disdain for most of the attributes usually associated with males, and I came to have an equally strong identification with girls.  Consequently, when I met my future wife years later, I was more than willing to gladly accept her polite but firm demand that our relationship be one in which I was fully submissive to her.

In a sense, it was similar to what I had witnessed with my own parents, but Jean carried it much further, and I was quite content to let her be in charge of my life and to insist on several things as part of my wardrobe.  I had stopped wearing diapers, but still had accidents at night, and she insisted that I let her diaper me for bed every night. As soon as I started wearing diapers and rubber panties to bed again, I wished I had never stopped.

Jean also felt strongly that there should be no difference between males and females in the 'foundations' garments that they wear, and that ideally all men should wear the same lingerie as women.  Therefore, from start of our marriage, she has required that I wear a panty girdle and nylon panty hose under my slacks to work.  As soon as I arrive home, I am also required to don a bra.  (Jean would prefer to require that I wear a bra at work, too, but she is practical enough to recognise that it would jeopardise my employment. However, I do wear a bra on weekends and holidays.)  I am kept fully shaved and am hairless below the neck, and I must use the toilet in the same manner as women and girls.  Also, I am required to wear a thick pad in my girdle for the six days a month that are identified and marked on the calendar as my period.  Although I have a full-time job, it is understood that on the weekend, housekeeping chores are my responsibility.

As the boys began their school years, they have always understood that when they got older, each of them, like me, would wear a girdle, panty hose, and bra. But before now, she never entertained a serious notion of having them ever wear any form of girls' outer clothing, let alone petticoats, pinafores, dresses, Mary Jane shoes, or ribbons in their hair.Instead, our boys wore very sissified little-boy clothes, some of which Jean made herself.  They have never worn trousers that have a fly front, and for special occasions, they wore Little Lord Fauntleroy-like outfits until two or three years ago.  As the boys approached school age, Jean made it clear that they would not be getting involved in football or other male-dominated sports, and I was in complete agreement with her.
I did not want them to turn out like the boys I had hated when I was growing up.  We made sure that the boys' friends were girls or other sissy boys, and we were delighted that they developed an interest in dolls, playing house, learning to cook, and watching only innocent television shows that were oriented toward very young children.  We also taught them an appreciation for the theatre, music, dance, and art, and we enrolled Timothy in ballet lessons as soon as he was old enough

As Timothy, the older boy, grw older, he began to think that he had some influence over what he could and could not do.  More recently, he has had fights with increasing frequency with other boys who teased him, despite knowing that he was strictly forbidden to fight.  He has always been under strict orders to immediately come and tell us if another boy picks a fight with him, but he is never to fight back.  Giving him a bare bottom spanking on more than one occasion as punishment for disobeying us in this regard hasn't seemed to work.

Even more troublesome is the fact that Timothy has developed a strong tendency to try to assume a leadership role when he is playing with girls, and to act as if they should do as he says just because he is a boy.  Just three weeks ago, we found out that he had started spending time with two of the boys who had previously been teasing him and calling him a sissy.  He has admitted that they told him he could be their friend if he stopped wearing sissy clothes and taking ballet, and started doing things that they like to do.  For the first time Timothy appears to want to emulate the masculine lifestyle that we have tried so
hard to shield him from.

Because of these problems, Jean and I have become increasingly concerned that as Timothy enters his teenage years, he may become rebellious and attempt to resist our plans for him.  Although Gregory shows no signs of such behavior, he may eventually want to follow his brother's lead.  We are desperate to prevent that from happening with either of our sons, and that is why it was so wonderful that I happened upon your web site. Jean has now discussed what we have learned with her sister, who is a divorced mother of three girls (age 13, 11, and 8).  Her sister, who has fully supported our approach to raising our boys, has been expressing an interest in home schooling her girls, but could not do so because of her job.  Jean has debated whether to make an offer to her sister that she be the home school teacher for both her sister's girls and our boys, because we have become increasingly dissatisfied with the education they are receiving. But we never followed up on it until now.  With Timothy being influenced by boys we don't want him to associate with, Jean and I have now decided that we should follow through on the home school offer to her sister.

When Jean related the information about petticoat discipline to her sister, both immediately recognised that a home school environment would enable us to establish our own school uniform, and that it would be possible for us to realise Jean's dream of dressing our boys as girls. We have made the decision that we will definitely start home schooling our two boys and her sister's three girls together as soon as we can obtain all the educational materials that will be needed.  Since Jean doesn't work, she will drive the boys to her sister's house (about a 25 minute drive), where a large room will be set up as the home school classroom.  Jean and her sister excitedly began talking about the uniform, and have tentatively decided that all but one day a week, all
five children will wear a white blouse and brightly colored jumper [in America this is a pinafore style of dress - Susan], white tights, and Mary Jane shoes.  The girls will wear their standard panties, while Timothy will continue to wear a panty girdle until he and his oldest cousin can be fitted with corsets.  Since she already wears a bra, he will start wearing a training bra right away.

The fifth day of each week will be dress-up day, when the boys will wear dresses with frilly lace and petticoats.  Since Gregory is still kept in diapers and rubber panties, he will be dressed as a baby girl, and will wear a pinafore that extends only slightly below his waist.  All three girls are ballet students, so on occasion the uniform of the day will be appropriate for 'ballet day'.  Timothy will wear the tutu, pink tights and pink ballet slippers that his oldest cousin wore at her recital last year, while she and her sisters wear their tutus from this year (Timothy wears a leotard and tights in his ballet class, but he has never worn a tutu before).

I am also excited about our plans, because I am convinced it will help reorient Timothy's thinking toward a proper submissive attitude toward girls.  As soon as we initiate our home school, it is our intention that the boys will be dressed as girls as much of the time as possible from that point on.  I really believe that they will eventually thank us, and will come to believe themselves that it is in their best interest in helping them to become better people.  By learning proper feminine behavior, it will soon become second nature for them.  Learning how to curtsey properly, and getting in the habit of curtseying in the proper situations, will be one of the first things they are taught.  Most importantly, we will make sure the boys learn beyond any doubt to be docile and submissive to their cousins, because we know the success of their future marriages will be so dependent on this.

I did not mean for this to be so long, and I realize that you are unable to respond to every message that is sent to you, but since we are new to petticoat discipline, we would really appreciate any suggestions you could give to make our transition to petticoating our boys as smooth as possible.  To assist in this, I have already agreed to my wife's demand that I, too, will begin to wear skirts and dresses, and sometimes high heels at home.  Thank you so much for your web site and for any help you can give us.

It sounds as if you have things very thoroughly planned without my help. I would not have supported the idea of home schooling several years ago, but today I think it may be an urgent necessity, in order to somehow counteract the brain-stunting harm done by the flim-flam and tra-la-la of modern schooling. Children need a sound basis of fundamental knowlege, given to them with clear exposition, and objectively examined. Informed independent judgment is impossible without that knowlege base, which is why, I suspect, so many modern teachers oppose my sort of rational and clearly defined education theory. They prefer children to be in a state of placid ignorance, and consequently much more pliable to the (often politically driven) will of the teacher.

I am sure that Timothy and Gregory will learn proper respect and obedience towards girls, but make sure that all the children are given something like the rigorous and demanding schooling which obtained in Scottish schools of the 1950s, and which many parents would give anything for nowadays, if only it were available.
