Dear Susan,

Hi my name is Jackie, and I would like to share my experience with the use of petticoat punishment on my son Michael. I think this is a
wonderful way of punishing unruly boys, and it worked wonders for my son. I suppose I should start at the beginning of why I started using petticoating, and then describe the results I have achieved. When my son was 3 years old his father (my husband) Jack passed away, this had a great impact on my son becuase he didnt have a strong father figure to support him and his sister Anne, and to discipline them. I tried my best but he was getting in to fights at school, looking up his sister's dress, and being careless around the house, and by the time he was 12 I had run out of ideas. I tried spankings, taking away toys and privileges, but nothing worked.

Finally one day I was having lunch with a friend and she told me about an article discusing petticoat punishment she had read from the UK (we live in the USA), I had never heard about it, but I was desperate and asked her to drop the article off so I could read it. A few days later I read the article. I was a little skeptical, but decided I would give it a try the next time my son misbehaved.  One day my son was teasing his sister, who is a year younger than him. When my daughter came to me crying, I was so mad that I decided that instead of spanking I would use petticoating. I took him into her bedroom, looked in a drawer, and took out a pair of pink panties, white tights and a dress from his sister's clothes, and told him to put them on.

He looked at me and started to fuss, but as soon as I told him that next time one of his friends was over I would talk about how nice he looked in Anne's clothes, he began to cry and starting putting on the tights. After he was done I brought him a pair of fussy lace-trimmed ankle socks, and single strap, very shiny girls' party shoes. I then took all his clothes out of his room and replaced them with tights I had bought (pink, yellow, red, white, and blue), some skirts (various colors), and pretty dresses mostly in flower patterns etc...than I told him if he didn't behave then this is his punishment, and that I might even take him out to the store like this.

Next I brought him in the room where his sister was playing, and she started laughing and giggling at him when she saw his attire - he blushed with embarrassment at his thoroughly deserved comeuppance. I explained that this is how he was going to be punished in the future, and that she wasn't supposed to tell anyone. She understood, and I than made him play nicely with her and her dolls. Slowly petticoating worked its magic: every time he did something unacceptable, I dressed him tights, little girls' 'unmentionables', and a dress.

By the time my son was 15 he was a well-behaved, obedient child! I owe it all to petticoating. He never again picked on his sister, or got in fights at school, because he knew what would happen. After I found this site I wanted every mother out there to know that it works, and works well. The embarrassment that my son felt was enought to make him think twice about doing no good. And for those of you worried that your son will turn out to be crazy, or anti-social, or gay, none of this happened to my son. He's 17, has a girlfriend whom he dotes on, plays sports, and has many friends. For all you mothers with sons who are out of control try this out: you'll be happy with the results!
Keep up the good work,
 
Jackie

Congratulations Jackie, it sounds like your efforts have been a complete success. My best wishes to your whole family.
Susan
