Mother Always Knows Best By M.C. A strong, tough woman trains her daughter's husband how to treat her daughter like he should. Sally Wilkinson looked up and sighed when Janet, her recently married daughter, sat down across the table from her in their dining room. She could easily see from the frown on her daughter's pretty face that something just wasn't quite right. But her experience in raising a headstrong daughter also taught her not to be too intrusive; at least not yet anyway. Just be patient and she'll eventually find out everything she wanted to know (although Sally already had a fairly good idea as to what that might be). Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long for her suspicions to be confirmed. "Robert is being a real jerk!" Janet cried out after a few minutes (Robert is Janet's husband of three months in case you haven't already guessed). "I mean he's a macho goof ball. He makes me do all the chores around the house and then all of the shopping - and he hardly does anything at all to help me! Furthermore, he must spend more time with his college football buddies than he does with me - and I'm his wife!" Just then a very large and well-built man entered the dining room. "I've finished all of my morning chores Sally. Can I have breakfast now?" "Of course you can Stevie. And while you're at it, please make a couple of cheese omelets for our daughter and me." "Sure thing honey," he said obediently. "I'll have the cheese omelets ready in just a few minutes; and your coffees as well. Two expressos with one sugar each, right?" Janet looked admiringly (and also with more than touch of envy) at her mother. "How is it that daddy willingly does everything you ask him to do mom? What's your secret?" Sally smiled at her daughter, for this was the cue that she had been waiting for. "Oh it's really no secret honey. You just have to be firm and establish the ground rules at the very beginning of your relationship as to what roles each of you will play and strictly stick to them. And after that, everything simply falls into place." "Like you did with daddy? How?" "Well sweetie pie, you see when it comes to the male of our species it all comes down to training. If you train your husband how you want them to behave from the very beginning, then he will behave in the way you want him to. But if you don't, then he will be the one who will take advantage of you. Forgive me for saying this honey, but I'm afraid that that's the mistake you made with Richard. He saw early on that he could dominate you; and, as you can clearly see for yourself now, that's exactly what he has done." "But mommy, I'm not a 'super athlete' like you are - a champion shot putter and discus thrower in college, then a bodybuilder and now a professional wrestler who also knows how to box. Robert is a big, strong guy - not to mention that he was also the star middle linebacker of our university's football team. How could I ever hope to control him like you're suggesting? For me at least it simply isn't possible; is it?" Sally thought for a few moments before replying to her daughter's question. "I'm afraid that it might be a little bit too late for you to make any significant changes in your relationship with Robert by yourself anymore honey as he seems to have established his complete domination over you." She then paused for a few more moments before adding with a sly smile. "But perhaps maybe your mother can offer you a little bit of 'assistance' in this matter." An even longer pause followed as Janet digested the offer that her mother had just made. At length, she looked at the muscular woman sitting across the table and asked, "Do you promise not to hurt Robert too much mommy? I mean I know he's a jerk and all, but I still love him - and he is my husband, and your son-in-law. I just want him to treat me with more respect; like the way daddy treats you." Sally reached across the breakfast table and gently squeezed her daughter's hand. "I understand honey, and I promise that I won't be any rougher on Robert than I absolutely have to be. I also understand that, despite his obvious faults, you still love him very much - that's exactly how I felt about your father when I met him. But I'm afraid that a lot of what will happen depends on him and how he reacts to the lesson that I'm going to teach him. So I just want you to be aware of what I'll probably have to do to him. But I do believe that, in the end, everything will work out for the best honey - just like it did with your father and me." "I understand mommy." Then, after yet another long pause, Janet smiled at her mother and said, "Do what you feel you need to do in order to make things right between Robert and me. I trust you." And it was those final three words from her daughter that finally spurred Sally to take action. Later That Afternoon KNOCK! KNOCK! Robert opened the door and before he even had time to react his mother-in-law pushed her way past him and entered the house; followed by her daughter Janet, his wife. Sally motioned to Janet to sit down on the couch and, after she had done so, turned to face her large son-in-law. "Hello there Robert," she said as she stood before him with her hands on her hips. "I understand that you and Janet are having a little bit of a 'misunderstanding' about just what your responsibilities are in this marriage of yours. So I thought I'd come over here and help 'explain' to you just what those responsibilities are." The five-foot, nine inch, 170 pound muscular woman was dressed in the sexy, pink one-piece bathing suit that she uses as her wrestling outfit - highlighting both her well-developed arms and powerful thighs. Although Robert, standing six-feet, two inches tall and weighing in at a very fit 225 pounds - towered over her, the woman grappler showed no signs of fear as she stood before him. "Now, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way Robert; the choice is yours." "I never liked the way that you always boss your husband Steve around all the time," Robert said as he glared down at the smaller woman standing in front of him (Sally couldn't help but notice the strong sense of alcohol on his breath as he spoke to her). "He's a big, strong guy and he should be telling you what to do; not the other way around. Well, that's not gonna happen around here. In this house I'm the boss, and that's the way it's gonna be. And if you don't like it, then why don't you just get the hell out of here!" "My, my Robert; such language. Is that any way to speak to your mother-in-law? All I'm asking is for you to treat my daughter with the respect she deserves and spend more time with her. She is your wife after all. Is that really asking too much of you?" "I'll treat my wife the way I want to and that's the way it is. And no old lady (Sally is 46 years old to Robert's 23) is going to tell me what to do in my own house; is there?" "Hmmm.well Robert, maybe I can do this." WHAM! POW! CRACK! SMACK! With a quick right-left-right-left combination of punches to his face from her rock-hard fists, Sally drove her large son-in-law backwards. And before he had time to recover from the strong woman's blows - SOCK! - she nailed him with yet another; this time a solid right uppercut to his jaw which sent Robert sprawling on the floor. "Not bad for an 'old lady', eh Robert?" Sally teased. While her stunned son-in-law slowly got up, Sally looked over at Janet and smiled; and her daughter smiled back. Then, noticing that Robert was back on his feet, Sally calmly turned her attention back to him. "O.K. tough guy, let's continue this little fight of ours; shall we?" WHACK! WHAM! POW! Despite the superior size and physical strength advantage that Robert had over Sally, he was, nevertheless, no match for her many years of experience that she, as a former bodybuilder and professional wrestler, had over him. As part of her intensive physical training regimen, Sally also became a rather accomplished boxer - a fact that Robert was now discovering the hard way. With her powerful punches and expert fighting ability, Sally easily battered her larger son-in-law around the living room; pausing only briefly to fluff up her long, pretty brown hair while Robert was getting up from the floor every time she decked him (thus further rubbing in the fact that he was being beaten up by a woman twice his age). "Get up Robbie," Sally giggled. "This is so much fun. Are you enjoying this little confrontation or ours as much as I am? Tee, hee, hee." PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! And with five more powerful punches to various parts of his body, Sally put her now already battered son-in-law down once more. "You see sweetie pie," Sally grinned as she glanced over at her daughter again, "your hubbie isn't quite as tough as he thought he was. See how easily this 'old lady' can mop the floor with him." "Oh mommy, you're so wonderful!" Janet replied. Because Sally wasn't sure at first exactly how her daughter would react to watching her mother beat up her large, tough, macho husband, she found Janet's words to be music to her ears. "Thanks sweetie pie," Sally said as she smashed her right fist into Robert's face for the tenth (or is it the eleventh, I've lost track) time, "It means a lot to me to hear you say that." By now Robert's face was a complete mess. Not only was he bleeding from his nose and mouth, but he also had at least one black eye, a badly swollen jaw plus at least ten other welts and bruises over various other parts of his body. Sally, in comparison, didn't have so much as a single mark or scratch on her (her hair was slightly mussed though). WHAM! And with one more solid right hook to Robert's already battered jaw, the 46 year-old female wrestler spun her 23 year-old son-in-law completely around before he went down for the count. "So much for you Robert," Sally laughed as she stood over him with her hands on her hips again. "This was fun. We'll definitely have to do it again sometime; after you've recovered that is. Tee, hee, hee." Unable to resist the urge, Sally placed her right foot on Robert's chest and flexed her well-developed muscles in the classic double bicep pose. "Take some pictures of this with your cell phone honey," Sally asked as she posed above her daughter's battered husband. "So you'll always remember what this old mommy of yours is still capable of doing (wink)." Janet eagerly complied. She took at least dozen photos of Sally in various poses victoriously standing over Robert - and even a few more of Sally sitting down on his face, smothering him with her tushie just for good measure. But despite the comprehensive beating that Sally had just given her son-in-law, she wasn't quite finished with him yet. "The beating I just gave Robert was just the first part of his lesson for today Janet," Sally told her daughter after the picture taking was over. "Now comes the second part - the spanking." Sally walked into the dining room, came out with a chair and placed it in the center of the living room. She then grabbed her still supine son-in- law firmly by the collar of his shirt and dragged the 225 pound former college foot- ball linebacker over to the chair, sat down and yanked him across her knees. "Since you've been such a naughty boy to your wife Robert, your mommy-in-law is going to give you a good, hard spanking to compliment the beating I just gave you." As Sally pulled Robert's pants and underwear down to his thighs, she again smiled over at Janet. "This is what I did to your father honey, when he foolishly thought that he could control me after we got married. After a few 'sessions', I trained him to be the warm and loving father that you know now. And so it will be with your husband here - after I get through with him." Then she looked down and giggled, "I have to admit, Robert does have a cute tushie; too bad I have to spank it. But as I always say, 'spare the spanking, spoil the husband'." And so, with her strong right hand, the powerful woman began to spank her daughter's macho husband to tears. And while she was spanking him, Sally also gave Robert a stern lecture as to how she expected him to behave towards her daughter from now on. "This is how - SPANK! - you'll behave to my daughter - SPANK! - from now on Robert. SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! You'll treat her with the upmost respect at all times - SPANK! help her with all the household chores - SPANK! - and spend more of your time with her instead of your friends. SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! And cut out the alcohol; you're a married man now." Just like with the beating she gave him, Sally held nothing back as she continued to whack Robert's rear end with her strong right hand. And it wasn't long before she had her large son-in-law begging her to stop. "Please stop this Sally! I'm sorry! I'll treat Janet better from now on. I promise! But please stop spanking me! You're hurting me!" While she watched her big, strong former university football star husband helplessly draped across her mother's knees and crying while Sally spanked him, Janet couldn't help herself and started to giggle. Seeing this Sally stopped spanking Robert and also starting giggling. And while the two women giggled, Robert was crying; an interesting assortment of sounds. "You see honey, there's nothing like a good beating followed by a hard spanking to keep husbands in line." "Is this how you trained daddy too mommy?" "Yes dear. Your father, like Robert here, also thought himself a tough, macho man when I first met him. But because I was attracted to him, I didn't want to give him up. So I decided to 'retrain' him instead, just like I'm doing with Robert now. Let me know if he'll need another 'reminder lesson' and I'll gladly come over again. If I recall correctly, your father needed two additional lessons before he finally accepted my superiority over him. Men, they can be so stubborn sometimes. Which is why we females need to show them whose really in control from the very beginning." "But mommy, not every woman is as strong and tough as you are; in fact very few are. Like I said earlier today - you were a champion shot put and discus thrower in college, then a bodybuilder and now an expert wrestler and boxer. I mean how many women can do what you just did? You just handled my big, strong, macho husband as if he was nothing more than a child." "And a very naughty child at that," Sally added with a grin, then she continued. "I guess that it's a good thing for you then that you do have a mother like me to help you out in situations like these. After all honey, what's the point of having a strong, tough mommy if she can't help out her darling daughter when she needs me." Epilogue: Two Weeks Later The strong woman wrestler sat down at the dining room table and smiled at her daughter who was seated directly across from her. "Hello Janet. How are things going between you and Robert nowadays?" Sally asked. "Wonderful mommy. Ever since you came to visit us two weeks ago Robert's been behaving like the perfect husband - just like you said he would. He helps me with all the household chores, we go shopping together, stopped drinking and he even spends less time with his friends and much more time with me now. Yes, things have definitely improved for me since you had your little 'lesson' with him (grin)." "That's good to hear honey. Because I was just wondering if he might require a 'refresher' course. Because if he does, I would be more than happy to administer one to him right now." "Oh no mommy, Robert's been a very good boy since you trained him last time. I don't think he'll be needing another lesson. I think the one you gave him two weeks ago was more than enough for him." "Very well then honey. But if he should ever misbehave towards you again, be sure to let me know and I'll come over and 'straighten him out' for you (wink)." "I will mommy; you can be sure of that." Just then the door to the kitchen swung open and two large and well-built men - Steve and Robert - emerged, each carrying a large tray of food. They placed the trays in the center of the table and then sat down next to their respective wives. "I hope you girls enjoy the dinner tonight," Steve said with a slight sense trace of trepidation in his voice before adding, "Robert and I worked for most of the afternoon on it to prepare it just the way you girls like it." "It certainly smells good Stevie," Sally replied with a smile and added, "and I'm sure that it will taste just as delicious as it smells (Steve felt that he could relax now). You boys did a wonderful job preparing dinner for us this evening (Sally playfully patted her husband on the head when she said this). Our compliments to the chefs." And as Sally and Janet began to enjoy the gourmet meal that their husbands had obediently prepared for them that evening, the powerful woman grinned across the table at her daughter and whispered, "You see sweetie pie Mother Always Knows Best."
