Well, your method doesn't seem to be working. I would be embarrassed to tell you the things they do and say on the bus...to each other and to the other children. And, to be honest it's getting worse. If you don't do something I'll be forced to file a report to the principal. They are making it difficult for me to drive safely. I spend more time keeping them in line than I do on the road."

Now, by this time my mind was going a thousand miles an hour. What am I getting myself into? How would this play out? My only plan was just to agree to everything until I had some time to think about it. Anyway, how bad could this be? I could handle this old man slapping my butt a few times! "OK, I get it," I finally said.Good afternoon Mrs. M_______, why don't we begin our session with a brief summary of why you are here today and we'll see what I can do for you." Well that's the problem, Jodie. What you're doing clearly isn't working but I have a suggestion. If you go along with it I won't have to file that report." I see, Jodie. Maybe it would help if you were just to make yourself comfortable and tell me all about it. Just close your eyes and re-create all that has happened in as much detail as possible. Just forget that I'm here and make believe that I am the best friend that you have in the whole world. Someone who won't judge or be critical of you. Someone who will just listen. I'll just jot down some notes and later on I will ask you whatever questions or observations that I have. How does that sound?"

OK, young lady. Now your training begins. Anytime you fail to do as you are told you will be spanked while over my knee. Do you understand?" Oh, Steve I'm so sorry to hear that...but please don't get the school involved. Mrs Stein is so unreasonable and she warned me that she would keep my kids off the bus for a week for the next offense and neither Jeff nor I have the time to take them to and from school for a week. It would play havoc with our schedules!"Good girl. I have to go now but remember to use what you have learned here on your kids. Hopefully they will behave and you won't have to experience another session with me. Next time it will be bare- bottom and it will make this session seem like a walk in the park." Well this is more about the way you are parenting them. Let me be frank with you. Do you ever use corporal punishment with them? I mean do you ever just take them over your knee and spank them if they disobey you?" Good. I'm glad you're being reasonable. You won't regret it. I will treat you like my daughter and when you disobey me you'll get spanked. This serves two purposes: 1) you'll know how it feels to experience real discipline, and 2) you'll see how a strong parent behaves. From now on when we are alone you will call me 'sir'. It's as simple as that...deal?"

Jodie, this has been a very productive session and you have shown me a real willingness to be helped. Your candor is instrumental in my ability to understand you and eventually help you but unfortunately we have to stop here. We can continue this at our next session. Same time next Tuesday OK?" OK, here's the deal. Talking only goes so far, so now is the time for action. So my suggestion is this: I want you to be responsible for your kids behavior. By that I mean that if they misbehave then I will punish you. I want you to experience the value of corporal punishment. Maybe then you will understand what I am telling you." Sure . Both Jeff and I think the world of you and I'm sure that we would find whatever you had to say about our kids to be valuable."Jodie, I wanted to talk to you face to face because what I have to say isn't very pleasant. You know I have been driving your kids to and from school for over 8 years now, if you include Lee. Being with them two hours a day, 180 days a year gives me a quite an insight into them. Don't you think so?" I nodded fearing the worse, so he went on. "Jodie, I know all of my bus kids pretty well and I feel almost like a family member to them. I even get to know the parents so sometimes I have to say something if I see that things are going wrong. Is it okay if I just speak my mind?" At this point, Jody leveled her gaze at me and asked "Doctor, what does this mean! Am I some kind of a deviant? What should I do?" To be honest I didn't know how to answer. I felt humiliated...yet mildly aroused. The spanking had somehow seeped down into my pussy and I could feel that I was moist. That made me feel even worse...how could I be aroused by this old man spanking me as if I were a naughty child? "I don't know what to say. I feel so...." Good afternoon, Dr. Howard. Just call me Jodie. Anyway, I feel so confused...I'm not sure why I came. Things have been happening lately that have been turning my life upside down and I just don't know what to do. A friend of mine, Nancy J______, recommended you to me after I told her that I was having trouble sleeping and that my nerves were just frazzled." I don't want to do that either but something has to be done and done soon. You have to understand, Jodie, that talking only goes so far with kids. They need to be punished when they misbehave and that punishment has to be immediate. Were you ever spanked by your parents?"
