The Problem Child Erica smiled at the reflection in the mirror as she made preparations for her early evening date with her ex-husband. He was taking her out for a night on the town, fun first and frolicking afterwards. The two of them had planned the event for some time and Erica knew that the dress was perfect for enticing John into some late night activities under the covers. She spent a good portion of the morning at the local mall choosing a new dress and black leather shoes. However, she knew that it would be worth it if it would rekindle the old flame that used to exist between the couple when they were first married. Erica finished up and walked daintily downstairs in her four-inch platform heels. She decided to look nice straight through the afternoon to boost her self-esteem. She took a glance in the living room and spied on the program her eight-year-old was watching with her friends. The show was Blue’s clues and probably the tenth time she had seen the episode. She couldn't bring herself to understand what was about that show had captured her daughter’s loyalty. She continued to make her way into the kitchen to prepare a snack. The reservations were for seven thirty that night and she didn’t want to be hungry. Her thoughts were on tonight's date and she gathered some snack bars to munch on and sat at the table contemplating her date. The sound of footsteps resounded through the house as Alicia, Erica’s seventeen-year-old daughter made her way down the stairs and walked into the living room. She stood in front of the TV with her arms folded and with a look on her face that someone was in for a rude awakening. In her typical arrogance she addressed her eight-year-old sister, Karen. “Karen, lower that damn show NOW!... I’m in my bedroom and can hear it clear as day and it is so annoying. Such a childish show you girls are watching. Don't you have anything better to do??....You children are soooo annoying...." Karen knew that Alicia was pissed and that was good. Time to set off Alicia's "HOT" button again. Caroline, her six-year-old sister and both of Karen's friends Judy and Corrine looked at Karen for a response. "NO!...(BITCH)(murmured in under tones), Karen said. "I'll do as I please And if you don't stand away from the TV and stop harassing us, I'll tell mom. I know that she'll believe me and not you so..NAAAAAA" Well Alicia was angry now and her face turned red. She simply said to Karen in a low sarcastic tone of voice so Erica wouldn't hear, said, "Fuck you bitch!...." That was the final straw!..... Karen got up from the couch and stuck her tongue out at Alicia. "Your in for a world of hurt you itch!...", Karen added with a hint of spice. She proceeded into the kitchen with a smirk on her face as she stared back at her older sister. She began to tell Erica all about the chastisement she was taking from Alicia and it wasn't long before both of them came from the kitchen and entered the living room to address the problem. "Alicia!...Why are you standing in front of that TV set?..Alicia was caught off guard for once and quietly stepped away. "Gee mom I didn't know I was blocking the TV, sorry!..." Erica shook her head. "Well your sister said that you called her some very dirty names and her friends too. And that you threatened to give her a bloody nose. Is that true?..." Alicia was dumbfounded, thinking to herself, "Why that lying bitch". Then she spoke as if nothing had happened between them. "No way mom, I just wanted her to turn down the TV, it's too loud. And I did ask her nicely...". Alicia acted very much like a stuck up little girl that had done no wrong. The volume was already down thought Erica. Karen had done so before entering the kitchen. Caroline and the other girls were shaking their heads in disagreement, so noted Erica. "I don't see a problem here other than you are harassing your little sister unnecessarily. Come with me into the kitchen right now". Karen grinned annoyingly at Alicia. Alicia followed her mother slowly into the kitchen. “She’s in for it now, girls.” Karen told her guests. Even Caroline snickered. "Alicia is a very bad girl", she said proudly. All agreed and laughed. Then they quieted down as they made every effort to overhear what was being said in the kitchen. As Alicia walked into the kitchen, Erica pointed to a kitchen chair. “Sit, young lady. NOW!” Erica waited for several seconds and then said, “Did I hear you say the word ‘damn’ to your sister?” Alicia looked up Erica's stern face and in a soft voice said, "Why No, Mom”. Erica nodded. "Well then, did you call her a whore and a tramp?..." Alicia face look puzzled. "Why no mom!, definitely not!..." Erica nodded again. "I see...so you didn't call her any foul names then?..." "That's right mom, I swear, I mean I didn't...I...." Erica paused to study her daughter's face then asked, "Well then, did you promise to tell all of Karen's friends that she wore diapers?...." Alicia stomped her foot down for she was getting tired of the charades. "No Mom, NONONO...." Erica was fuming and growing impatient. She said in a stern voice,“ Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, Alicia?” Erica asked. “No, Mom, I don't think so....” Alicia responded, with a sneer. “Are you sure?..You seem a little cranky, irritable and perhaps even overtired. After all you were out again late last night with those friends of yours. Well no matter, perhaps you need some time alone in your room under the covers in your pajamas. Maybe like the whole day.” Alicia whirled around to face her mother. Her attitude changed from sarcasticness to panic and gone was her arrogance. Erica apparently struck a nerve with her teenaged daughter.. Then Alicia pleaded like a little girl, “Please Mom, don't humiliate me like that. Especially when the children are present. Besides, I didn't do anything to the little princess. And I'm seventeen now!...." Erica nodded, “Your behavior seems worse now than you were a little girl, and now that your a teenager you seem to think that your above the rules of this house and caring about other's feelings. Well you are acting childish right now so I think you need a little refresher course in being grounded. After all, your asking for it plain and simple. I think you still remember the drill, don't you dear?.....” Alicia was dumbfounded. She had to cooperate, otherwise she would be subject to her mother's disapproval of everything she did not to mention that she would always be subjected to her scrutiny. She knew what "grounding" meant!.... In the Michell’s household, a grounding not only meant being restricted to the house, but included the forbidden use of the phone or TV. It also meant being confined to one’s bed for the entire time of the grounding. Erica then interrupted Alicia's thoughts. "Let’s go and get you ready for a mid morning nap-time out. I suggest you apologize to your sisters and their friends on the way to your room.” Alicia pleaded, "But mom, you always listen to her. Please listen to me now. I am the eldest. Why would I lie?...Please reconsider, I'm not a child anymore, I'm not tired and Karen always gets her way". What started out as an adult like plea to get out of being punished, only resulted in Alicia's pleading like a crabby temperamental child. The more Alicia whined, the more Erica saw GUILTY written on her forehead. Erica smiled, "See Alicia!..You are acting like a cranky little girl. Just listen to you whining". Erica motioned for Alicia to start walking towards the living room. All four girls laughed and giggled as the ladies walked towards them. Erica stood behind Alicia and told her in a condescending manner, “Apologize to your sisters and her friends." Erica ordered. Alicia spoke softly and could not look at her sisters. She didn't seem too sincere by the tone of her voice and was very annoyed for having to apologise. Then she spoke. “Karen, I’m sorry for saying those bad things about you and using poor language. I also am sorry for Judy, Corrine and Caroline for hearing me.” Alicia said with a whisper of sarcasm. “Good, Alicia!...”, Erica told her, noting her sarcasm. She then turned to Karen and said, “You may watch whatever you wish on the TV for the rest of the week. Alicia is "grounded" for the entire week, and I am taking her to her room and putting her to bed for a short nap. After I dress her in her pajamas, I will bring her back down here so you may wish her a good night." Karen smirked back at Alicia. She obviously was very happy with the outcome. “Please Mom!...”, Alicia begged with pleading eyes. Erica simply turned away and looked at the clock on the wall. Alicia did also. It wasn't even eleven o'clock in the morning. "I think you heard me Alicia!..MARCH!!!!...." Alicia stood there feeling a sense of deep shame and humiliation in front of her younger sisters and friends. Erica decided to help Alicia along by twisting her ear and led her towards the stairs and up the long stairs to her bedroom. "OUCH!..MOM??..That hurts!...." All the girls were giggling and making comments as Alicia was led upstairs. Erica following behind with an occasional slap to Alicia's rear to get moving. They arrived in Alicia's room, which was messy from the get together she staged in her room the night before. Clothes were strewn about, magazines, loose paper, debris and nowhere to walk. "I thought you had promised me that you would clean up your room if I agreed to allowing your friends into your room?..", exclaimed Erica. Defiant and annoyed, Alicia responded back, “I was tired last night, so I thought I would do it today, gee mom.” “You had all morning to do it.” Erica angrily told her. “I started mom, I just didn’t finish, all right?” Alicia pleaded emotionally. “Started? Look at this mess Alicia!..” Erica shouted. “It looks like a bomb hit this place. You are seventeen years old Alicia, you should know how to be neat. Now clean this mess up immediately!.....” Alicia started to pick up clothes off the floor when Erica stopped her. “No wait, Come over to me right now". Alicia stood before Erica who began unbuttoning her blouse and Alicia instantly backed away. "Stand still child! Mommy is going to undress you. After all, you do remember the drill don't you?", she said snippily. Erica continued unbuttoning the blouse and removed it, throwing it upon the bed. She was appalled to find her daughter wearing a dainty lace trimmed red wonder bra. Erica then forcefully pushed her daughter onto the bed and unsnapped then unzipped her designer jeans. She pulled them off quickly, and there was a matching thong panty. Pulling her daughter up, Erica said, "Where did you get that slutty underwear Alicia? I warned you about wearing things like that while living under my roof. I think we will go shopping next week to get you some proper underwear. Full cut pure white cotton panties, like a proper little girl". Erica then reached for a pair of scissors on the dresser and cut the thin band, allowing both garments to hit the floor. She picked them up and threw them into the trash. Then after a hard slap to Alicia's rear, she ordered the room cleaned. Alicia was embarrassed to be totally naked now before her mother, but by doing so she had come down a few notches on the arrogance scale and was easier to handle. She could hear the sound of giddy schoolgirl laughter from a distance, that was probably aimed at her. She said nothing and carried out her mother's direct order. As Alicia straightened up her room, Erica meanwhile left the room and went into the adjoining bathroom and ran some hot water in the sink. She gathered a washcloth and a bar of Dove soap and stared into the mirror. "What am I to do with that little brat of mine? She acts like a baby all the time and is a terrible example to her little sisters." Minutes later, Erica walked back into the room just as Alicia was finishing up. She couldn't help but notice that her daughter had quite a hairy bush and under arms and grinned at her daughter's nakedness. "Alicia! Turn around and look at me!", commanded Erica. Alicia did as she was told showing some repentance, only too late.... "Alicia, you know mother's rules. You will be grounded until next Monday morning. When you come from school at two-thirty, Mommy will bath you and she will put on your jammies. You will then be escorted to the kitchen where Mommy will supervise your homework and evening meal. Then you will go to bed promptly at four. However on the weekend, you will spend your time in bed all day. Aside from a bath, you will remain quiet and will sleep straight through the daytime hours. Am I understood?" Alicia nodded, her head hung low much to Erica's satisfaction. Erica pulled her by the hand into the bathroom for a sponge bath and to remove the makeup that covered the teenager’s face. Erica bent Alicia over the sink and began scrubbing away at her daughter’s face with a well lathered washcloth of soapsuds. Alicia groaned and moaned at this intrusion, but offered little resistance. The makeup was quickly removed and then Erica rinsed her face and dried it off. Then she pinched the girl's nostrils. "Profanity in this house will not be tolerated Alicia. This is a reminder of that rule". She forced the soap bar deep into Alicia's mouth and scrubbed forward and back numerous times, scrapping it across her teeth and making the poor girl swallow the rich soap suds. The taste was horrible as was the smell. She used Johnson's Baby Soap that was mild, but rich in lather. Erica then said "I hope you have learned your lesson young lady, now you may rinse!" as she handed her daughter a half filled glass of water. Alicia took the small amount of water and rinsed her mouth as best she could. She knew this is all the water she would be allowed and that meant leaving some pieces of soap still in her teeth to remind her to behave in the future. She was feeling terrible from that soapy invasion and the aftertaste was even worse. Her face plainly showed the soap’s aftereffects and it pleased Erica to see that Alicia was starting to learn her lesson. Alicia was marched into her bedroom, where she was made to stand at attention in the corner whilst her mother made the necessary preparations for the next phase of her punishment. The bedcovers were peeled down and the overhead light was turned on. Erica deliberately She left the blinds and curtains fully open allowing the sun to brighten up her room. "Do you see what you will be missing Alicia? All that beautiful sun and freedom to do as you please. Well that's what you get for your unruly behavior now it's beddy-byes so let's get you ready. Alicia was dressed by her mother in a one piece cotton heavy duty sleeper that was fastened from behind. She had Alicia sit so she could put on the heavy sleeper and then made her stand to finish. There was no way she could get free of this hot cotton prison. It was bright yellow and even had sewn-in feet as well as padded mittens for her hands. She spun Alicia around and secured the rear zipper and the flap. "There that should make you feel snug and extra warm. A perfect fit!....Now it is time to go downstairs to say nighty night....". Alicia reluctantly walked towards the door. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. Even so, she couldn't believe she was not resisting. She paused for a moment at the doorway and Erica pushed her along, adding to her shame. "Alicia! Once you get downstairs you will be sincere towards your sisters and no tantrums. I warn you, don’t give me any trouble". Alicia walked down the staircase quietly. At the bottom of the stairs, she heard the distinct sounds of giggling and laughter. She wanted to turn around and hide. She was led over to the couch where the girls were seated and stopped with her mother behind her. "I'm sorry Karen!....OK mom I said it already, gee!..Don't laugh at me you little witch!...." Erica took exception of her daughter’s mediocre apology. Karen made faces at her older sister and Caroline snickered at her. Erica grabbed Alicia's ear and twisted it. "Alicia!...You were supposed to say nighty night to each girl and beg their forgiveness. My you can't do anything right, Miss Crabbypants!...Now when Mommy gets you upstairs, she will give you something to be sorry about. You only had to go down for a short nap to calm down, but now you've done it with your big mouth!...Your down for the night now and there will be no dinner for you..SO MARCH!!” Karen and Caroline howled at Erica's statement. "Crabbypants??..." The girls were adoring her sleeper and made comments that were belittling to the seventeen year old. Corrine and Judy joined in clapping their hands in approval and giggling uncontrollably. Erica marched Alicia to the stairs amidst jeers from the young girls. "Nighty night baby sister. Now be real quiet because we are watching TV." "Sleep tight Alicia dear!..hahahaha" Alicia walked up the stairs angrily and upon hitting the landing, she was guided back into the bathroom. The laughing could still be heard downstairs. Erica took out a dark brown bottle and large spoon and poured the thick clear contents onto it. "Open wide Alicia! I didn’t appreciate your half-hearted apology to your little sister " Alicia refused to open her mouth at first, so Erica grabbed her nose and pinched it, shoving in the oily contents into her daughter’s mouth as she gasped for air. Alicia tried to throw up the medicine, but it went down fast and thorough. A second dose followed and this time, Erica spilled some on her lips deliberately. "Oh well I guess we'll have to start all over again, won't we?..." She then gave her errant daughter two more full spoonfuls of castor oil. Alicia coughed and sputtered at the horrid taste much to Erica's delight. "There I hope you learned your lesson you brat!..." The castor oil would do it's work within the hour and Erica was ready to handle that situation. Alicia was then marched back into the bedroom and forced into bed. The bedcovers were withdrawn and the pillows fluffed and she was helped onto her stomach, (a position Alicia hated). She was covered up to the neck and kissed on the cheek. "Now we shall have no more bad behavior from you young lady. You had better be extra quiet or I shall return and you shall pay the consequences, understood?..Now close your eyes and go to sleep..Your day of fun is over!!" Alicia cried a bit and moaned about missing a good time with her friends, but Erica paid her no attention. "I said BE QUIET!...." Then she closed the heavy curtains and shades and turned off the overhead light. She closed the door behind her at eleven thirty in the morning satisfied that she had done the proper thing.... About an hour later, Karen went over to the stairs as she heard footsteps emanating from upstairs. She was overjoyed was delighted to tell mom the good news. "Mom! I think Alicia is getting up, there's a lot of noise up there..." Karen grinned to herself. Erica was livid. She climbed the stairs quietly and the girls all huddled at the base of the stairs below to overhear. Erica opened the room and turned on the overhead light to find Alicia moving about in her bed with the covers thrown almost completely off. Alicia was caught off guard, even though seconds before had scurried from the bathroom to her bed, trying to be quiet about it. Erica looked on and shook her head in disgust. "So this punishment for you is a turn on Alicia? Well then Mommy has ways to deal with that. Just what do you think you were doing?" Alicia looked stunned. "Nothing mother, nothing, I wasn't doing anything I swear!...." Erica left the room and went into the bathroom. The toilet had not been flushed. She returned to the bedroom and made Alicia stand up. "I suppose you don't know who was using the toilet either, do you??.." Alicia looked downcast. She took her daughter by the hand and led her into the bathroom. Erica stripped Alicia and threw the sleeper aside. "Your in for it now Alicia! What you need is a good cleaning out. Erica stood up and took out the enema equipment and started filling the bag with extra hot water. Liquid Ivory soap, castor oil and epsom salts were added and the mixture was ready. She hung the bag and warned Alicia. "This is what you get for using the bathroom without permission. From now on never get up once I PUT YOU TO BED, is that clear??..." Erica bent Alicia over the sink and applied a liberal amount of vaseline to the six inch long fluted douche nozzle. She then took the slick tube and slid it up Alicia's reluctant rectum giving it a few twists to make sure Alicia felt the invasion and then opened the clamp allowing the soapy treatment to find it's place in Alicia's tummy and intestines. Sensing the hot water rushing in, Alicia jumped and pleaded. "Oh please not this..Ooooh noo, it's too hot, please stop!...Oh Noooo." Her pleas went unheeded as Erica continued her corrective treatment. Minutes seemed like hours as Alicia was cramping, complaining and squirming over her mother's lap. "Well that should teach you young lady. Now you will learn to mind!" The enema was over within minutes and the nozzle removed form her bottom, Alicia was allowed to expel herself as Erica placed the attachments away, then decided to simply leave the bag hanging for a possible return later. "Hurry up Alicia. I haven't all day...You have five minutes" Erica helped her daughter back into the furry sleeper. "Oh I'll call your friend Janet and tell her why you can't go out tonight. I'll tell her the real reason if you don't cooperate right now, understood?..." Erica knew she held the upper hand as Alicia nodded and looked worried. Alicia was once more put down as the one o'clock whistle chimed. Covered up and penitent, Erica closed the door once more leaving Alicia in darkness and solitude. She knew however that Alicia was a light sleeper and went into the bathroom as she was hoping that an old prescription would still be there that would come in handy. "This will make her sleep, hmmmm", thought Erica. It was for 200 mg of antihistamine and in addition grabbed the bottle of Benadril Elixir. She went downstairs to get a large tumbler of warm milk and went back into the bathroom and mixed in the medications. Then she proceeded to Alicia's room. She opened the door and the room was quiet as she sat on the bed and asked Alicia to sit up and take her medicine like a good girl. She then fed her the warm glass of milk. Alicia swallowed it, but Erica knew she had no desire to as she was not thirsty. She did however start to whine and complain about her early bedtime. And missing out on a fun time with her boyfriend and her other friends tonight. She begged and whined to get up. In fact, she pleaded to get up and even started to cry, but Erica ignored her. She simply kissed her on the forehead . "I'm sorry Alicia....It was you who was the naughty one, hmmm?? Now go to sleep. It's past your bedtime..." Erica knew that the medications would act fast and she would sleep sound this time. Before she closed and locked the door, she looked back on her and smiled. "Nighty night honey"...was all that she said and Alicia was left to a room of silence and darkness to sleep and reflect on her bad girl ways. Erica knew that she would sleep straight through the night now and there was no need to worry anymore. She went back downstairs. Erica went into the living room and the girls were enjoying TV and commenting on Alicia's humiliation. Then on the TV, Toys-R-Us was advertising Fisher Price baby monitors and a new innovation, a video camera with remote TV for checking on baby's condition without visiting the room. Erica nodded and wrote the information down. Perhaps one day it could be very useful. Her thoughts were interrupted by Karen, who asked her mom to sit, for she wanted to talk about Alicia. Erica did so and looked at her daughter. "Well honey, what's on your mind?"..Karen sighed then said, "Well mom, we have been talking among ourselves about Alicia. And I think Judy and Corrine here hit the spot when they compared her to a baby having a temper tantrum. That's how Alicia acts mom, like a baby!....She's always vieing for attention, she has a temper like a two year old, she's too possessive and it's always me, me me....do you know what I'm saying?..." Erica nodded. "I think I understand. Please go on." Karen smiled for now she had her mother's attention. Maybe now things would change for the better around the house. Both Corrine and Judy spoke up about several unpleasant encounters with Alicia. Karen smirked. "These girls are better actresses than me...hahaha". Erica leaned back in the chair. "I see, well thank you girls for sharing. I will certainly investigate these matters. Karen, you may go to Judy's tonight for a sleepover along with Caroline. I'll ask my mother to watch the house tonight, if you know what I mean..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week of Alicia's grounding went by slowly for her. She found it very difficult having to abide by the rules of mother's grounding. She did so, but not without a great deal of whining, complaining, and displaying cranky behavior. She resented having to walk about the house in a cotton pajama top that was shortened to her navel, red tights and flower print panties though. Good old fashioned 'tights punishment' that Erica used when she was little had more of an effect now. The sight of her panties being seen beneath the tights was hilarious to everyone who set eyes upon her. Alicia's shame and embarrassment was so welcome to see whenever Erica had visitors present. And of course questions were asked and satisfied. No one disagreed with her punishment and no one supported Alicia. Erica did note that although Alicia was not totally repentant, her clothing seemed to curb and control her arrogance and temperament. She seemed a bit more calm and obedient. She was not allowed to stay hidden from company male or female, friend, family member or stranger. Karen and her friends saw her and laughed at her and made fun of her all week. They found the sight of her childish underwear very amusing indeed. In fact, Karen deliberately brought many of her friends over to see Alicia being "tights punished" and they all had a good chuckle belittling and berating her. She was forced to stand in the corner while they watched TV and Erica even had her perform some exercises to the girl's amusement. The weekend as promised, found her in bed all day both Saturday and Sunday as promised. The room was darkened and the door closed and locked. It was very hard having to sleep through a beautiful summer day, but she was kept submissive and tired thanks to the help of medication and warm milk. Her two sisters checked in on her regularly and I know that they made belittling comments as looked into her room, but she deserved it. In addition to warm milk, Alicia was given Sleepy Time Tea that mixed with some lemon and without sugar did the trick. Her only up time was to the bathroom for a promised soapy enema and sponge bath. She was kept to a liquid diet of warm milk only. Although at dinnertime, Erica fed her a large bowl of oatmeal, one of her most hated foods. Erica placed a call to her sister Donna and her mother Martha who understood the rebellious teenager and knew some ways to deal with errant children such as Alicia. Erica had requested that they stop over for tea on Saturday, one week from the time Alicia was being grounded. On that particular day, Alicia was being "tights punished" for the entire weekend for her belittling treatment of my young daughter Caroline. I had the girls "babysit" her as they watched TV and Alicia stood at attention in the corner of the room. Then I decided that since I was having company, I would keep Alicia in a corner of the living room under observation, while we used the kitchen to converse. I had no intentions of her appearing before my mother and sister dressed as she was. Of course that was to be decided upon based on her behavior. They were scheduled to stop over after lunch about one. Alicia was dressed in a pink cotton pj top (no bra), pink nylon panties and navy blue tights. I made her wear a pair of tie shoes with platform heels that I know she detested wearing and I tied her laces for her. She was told to go back in the corner once we went back downstairs. By now both sisters were used to seeing their supposedly more mature sister dressed in punishment tights and they let her have some of her own medicine. Donna and Martha stopped in and I knew Alicia would try to make a run for it. I warned her to stay put until I came and got her or else...We sat in the kitchen with doors closed and I shared all of the information I had up to date including the conversation with Karen and her friends. Donna was a licensed child psychologist and my mother was recently retired from the school district. They knew how to handle teenagers and children. I felt comfortable sharing my information with them and I was very pleased with the ideas presented. I was sure that once a plan of action was put forward, there would be no turning back. I wanted my daughter to be obedient again. I also felt that perhaps peace in the Michell household was at hand. Near the end of our conversation, I heard screaming emanating from the living room and excused myself to go and investigate. Apparently Alicia strayed from the corner long enough and when reminded to stay put, she called Caroline a filthy name causing her to cry. At least that was the story Karen told me. Alicia of course denied everything. I grabbed her by the ear again I made her apologize and marched her into the kitchen. I knew the humiliation just might be beneficial and do her some good. Alicia apparently wanted the attention and I decided right then and there to give in to her demand. I stood her before the ladies who smirked when they saw her outfit. Alicia was not amused and although angry at this belittlement, her obvious shame was noticed. She appeared red faced and looked downcast once standing in front of the ladies, yet she was docile and easier to control. I explained to the ladies what she did and then told them I was going to put her to bed without supper for that and marched her upstairs, even though it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. Minutes later I returned downstairs and I sensed that both Donna and Martha now understood what I had to put up with. I also knew Alicia's life would change forever after this day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After making some rather detailed plans that took some considerable time, Erica was ready to deal with Alicia in the manner that would be most beneficial to her. She sat at the kitchen table with Donna and Martha present. She knew that for the past three weeks, Alicia had been hanging out at the mall with her questionable friends. It was obvious now that Alicia tampered with mail intended for her mother to hide the truth. Well the day of reckoning had come. There would be no retreat. The time was right for a change in Alicia's life. As her concerned mother it was up to me to see to that. Alicia spent several days at her friend's house at my request so that certain changes could be made in the house. I excused myself and picked up the phone. The time had come.... I made a call requesting Alicia's presence at home. Minutes later she walked through the door. Alicia was certainly not happy with my sister and mother present. Her facial expressions were very obvious. She disliked my mother immensely and wasn't on speaking terms with my sister. I knew that their presence would set off some spark and I was prepared for anything. "Alicia dear, say hello to your grandmother and aunt!.." She did not reply right away and simply grunted and groaned. She was upset and angry. "Why am I here?..What is going on??..I have things to do you know...." Both ladies looked at each other and nodded. Then Martha commented, "My, my such a temperament. We shall soon change your outlook my dear!....", Angered by her actions, and wanting to remain in control, Erica grabbed her daughter and with Donna's help they began to remove her clothing with resistance. Her blouse was pulled over her head by Erica, as Donna unsnapped her jeans and lowered both her panties and jeans to her ankles. She would have nowhere to run now!..The bra was removed and she was forced to sit on the cold vinyl of the high chair that was used to get items from the cupboard or for cutting hair. She was strapped into the chair at her waist and each wrist was secured with velcro to the sides. Donna then easily slid off her sandals, jeans and panties. Erica stood before her. "Today is the first day of your new life young lady. You have been acting like a baby and mistreating everyone in this house. You have been deceitful and cannot be trusted. So no I must do what is best for you...Now since you like being a baby so much, you shall have your wish!..." Alicia's face was in shock and surprise. I don't really think she had any idea of what we were up to or the extent of how far we would go....She squirmed in the chair and made futile attempts at her bonds. "Let me go!.. .What are you gonnado?...MOM??...Well??" Donna brought out the Oster cutters and plugged them in. She changed the cutting blade to reflect the type of haircut that Alicia was about to receive. Alicia's hair was very long down to her shoulders and bleached blonde. Donna ran her fingers through her hair and smiled. Alicia squirmed some more. "Wha..what are you going to do?..I don't need a haircut...." Erica looked at her. Of course you do. Babies don't have long hair..." Alicia's eyes bulged. She had seventeen years of shoulder length blonde hair that was well taken cared for and all hers. She squirmed some more.... "Just cooperate Alicia and everything will turn out all right, you'll see. Donna smiled. The cutters were turned on and Donna started down the middle of her head. Erica stood by to help if needed. With every pass, chunks of blonde hair fell to the floor. Finally Donna took the time to shape her hair and then applied some shave gel and took a razor around her ears and the back of her head. She was pleased with the outcome. She had less than a half inch of hair left and it was layered properly for a babyish effect. Using a soft brush. she styled her hair as Erica had instructed. Several barrettes were placed in her hair to remind her of her status. "There we are Alicia!..Just perfect for baby...", whispered Donna. Alicia looked at her grandmother who nodded and smiled her approval. .All the excess hair was brushed off of her and the floor swepped up. "From this day forward Alicia, you will not have to worry about responsibility and growing up. I will take over that for you. I have decided that you will be relegated in age so that you are the youngest child in the household. I believe the age of two is very appropriate. You will be trained how to communicate act, and even look like your age!.... l. and you will always be strictly supervised at all times. I do hope that you are happy now..." Alicia squirmed some more as she realized that they were very serious. She was in no position to try and reason with them. Their mind was made up. She babbled emotionally as she challenged her mother's authority. "You can't do that..I'm an adult now....I'm not two years old...I...." "Oh yes I can and I will dear, you'll see. I love you enough to see an end to your unruliness. Your new status is appropriate and beneficial. Now stop whining and come with us upstairs. I have something to show you". Alicia was released from her bonds and stood up trying to cover up her nakedness. Erica took her by the hand and led her up the stairs. We stopped in the bathroom where I had her stand quietly so I could prepare a scented bubble bath. I then helped her into the tub, and immediately began to wash her. I used Johnson's baby soap and lathered up a washcloth. I found her ears very dirty and scrubbed them clean too with cotton swabs. It was a long time since I gave her a bath and I could feel her shame. Donna and Martha entered the large bathroom suite and stood by watching with intense interest. "Aw isn't that sweet mother. baby Alicia's first bath!..." Mother laughed. "Oh yes Donna. Time for our little babykins to get cleaned properly." Alicia I am sure must have resented their comments, but was too busy being lathered up all over to say or do anything to the contrary. She was made to stand so that every nook and cranny was scrubbed clean as a whistle. I rinsed her with the shower hose and she began to cry and sob uncontrollably. She found the courage to speak, although she was obviously distressed by her situation. "Why are you doing this to me mom?...I am a good girl, I promise I will behave and never pick on my sisters ever, ever again, I promise...Oh please!...." Erica smiled, "Oh I know you will behave babykins. You'll see that everything is being done for your own good, now stop that sobbing ." Donna walked over and helped Erica dry Alicia off. Each wrist was fastened to the overhead shower rod with nylons. "Try to relax Alicia. It's time baby lost her adult pubic hair. Now stay still.....and don't be difficult". Alicia did so as Donna knelt down on a stool and took the small scissors and began to cut through the thick jungle of curly hair. She moved slowly, being very thorough and shortly had her down to short stubs. She applied some shaving gel over her mound and slowly shaved her smooth. She repeated the application one more time to be sure and traced her anus to see that all hair was gone as well. She could tell that Alicia was deriving some pleasure from all of this as her vagina was very moist and Alicia was moaning. She gently wiped her off with a dry warm towel. She rubbed baby oil on her as Alicia twinged. Her first baby bath was over. Alicia was taken across Donna's lap and did so with no resistance on the chair that was set into the corner of the large master bathroom. Donna took the hairbrush from mother and told Alicia, "You are going to get a spanking Alicia. And it will hurt that I assure you, so if you want to cry that's OK". Then she began giving Alicia the spanking of her life. She applied each stroke firmly and moved from the upper buttocks to her lower legs. Each time Alicia winced in pain. Donna spoke to her all the time the spanking was taking place. Alicia continued her sobbing and pleading as we all witnessed her comeuppance. During this time, Erica was busy at the sink preparing her next treatment. She handed Donna the six-inch douche nozzle that was connected to a red two quart enema bag. Donna twisted it into Alicia's pouty anus and shoved it in all the way. She opened the clamp quickly as the soapy intrusion made it's way into her bowels. "Ouch, it's too hot, I hate enemas, I'm not dirty, I went to the bathroom already, please stop, stop!!!!.... She squirmed and squealed as Donna had placed one of her wrists behind her back to minimize her antics and soon the enema was emptied into her distended belly. She begged for relief. Martha laughed. "I wanted this for a long time. Her pouty little heinie looks so angelic with that white hose protruding from it". "Now Alicia you may get up now and use the toilet. We will be back in several minutes finished or not, so I suggest you get going...." Alicia did so and felt her entire insides nearly burst from the soapy mixture. It didn't take long to begin emptying her bowels, despite her groans of displeasure. She cleaned herself as Erica walked in and escorted her to her new room. Alicia was in shock as she was escorted to the "nursery" as Erica put it. Her old room was taken over by Karen, now the oldest sister and she had the small room. It was decorated in pink baby style. Gone was her bed. In it's place was a crib. Her dresser and nightstand matched the crib. She even had a potty in the corner and a changing table. Her curtains and shades matched the decor and were much heavier now to allow for a peaceful sleep during the daytime hours. A baby's mobile hung from the crib. Various baby caricatures and pictures were drawn on the walls and all the furniture was antique white. It looked horrible. There was a video camera installed on the wall that was cabled directly to a remote monitor in the living room. And a baby monitor that would be used when she was napping. Erica opened her closet door and Alicia nearly fainted.... All of her cool clothes had been replaced with baby style dresses of satin and taffeta and in colors of pink, yellow and white. And those petticoats...Shoes were replaced with black patent leather Mary Jane style shoes and white too. The shoes had two inch heels. The sight of her closet made her sick... She stood before her mother and was told, "Alicia dear, we will now get you dressed in your typical outfit. That means that everyday you will be attired in this manner. Be a good wittle baby and cooperate. Temper tantrums or resistance will result in further punishment that I guarantee you won't like. Am I understood?..." Alicia shouted, "Where are my clothes?..What did you witches do to my room?..Damn all of you...OOh I hate you mother!...." Martha handed her a pacifier and I quickly shoved it into her mouth. Donna did the honors and tied the ribbon from behind. "Now Alicia, no more talking. You are a baby now and I will not tolerate that language". Alicia moaned through the pacifier and her expression was priceless. Donna handed her the disposable diaper that she retrieved from the dresser. She ordered Alicia to lie down on the bed and placed the diaper underneath her. "Get used to mommy handling you baby. You lost your right". Then she turned her daughter on her side and Donna handed her a lubricated tampon much to Alicia's surprise. Erica inserted it into her anus with little difficulty and told her the game plan. "You will only be allowed to urinate in your diaper Alicia. Regular daily enemas on a schedule will take care of your bowels. Never, ever think of pooping your diapers or you'll pay the consequences". She powdered her daughter's private area and rubbed some baby oil on her vagina. Then she took the extra thick pads from Donna and placed them into the crotch area. With that, she closed the diaper quickly and motioned for her mother to take the next step. Martha pulled up the clear plastic training pants and with Erica's help, brought them up and around her waist. They were very tight, designed to prevent leakage and as Alicia found out, very hot and confining. They also had a small lock attached to the belt to prevent removal and they were locked into place. Her sex was not hers anymore to enjoy. She squirmed and fussed. "Now, now babies wear diapers Alicia and at two your quite a wetter...", commented mother. More grunting and groaning followed along with a great deal of anxiety as Alicia realized they were going to make her become a baby all over again.... Then a tight pair of little girl pink nylon panties with a cotton padding in the crotch were pulled up and finally a pair of white nylon tights. She was made to stand as the tights were pulled up over her bottom. Erica was careful to make sure the seam was straight and snapped the waistband several times to ensure they were tight around her waist. She remembered all those times she was "tights punished" and felt hot and confined in her crotch area. She resented this feeling. "But mom, I'm hot....", she tried to say, but could only mumble. She was ignored. Erica laughed. "I know dear that's why your private area is off limits from now on. Now be a good girl and stand still". Donna and Martha brought out the frilly petticoats. They were stiff and lace trimmed and made of noisy crinoline. They seemed to flare out like a tutu. They were made from yards of material and were high waisted for a proper babyish effect. They were placed over her head and fitted just above her panty area. Then came her baby frock. Made of rustling taffeta, her dress had puffy sleeves and had a satin collar with a white satin sash that was tied from behind in a large bow. The waist line actually was just below her shoulders with the result that her baby panties and tights could clearly be seen. Martha gave her a pat on the behind and said, "Now that's better I think. Your cute little tush on permanent display. A perfect outfit to match your behavior Alicia!...." It was noted that Alicia's resistance and struggling diminished after she was dressed and her head hung low and her cheeks aglow like ripened cherries. She was humiliated and beaten and controlled by her baby clothes. They would serve to curb her unruly behavior well. She felt ridiculous wearing such babyish frock and petticoats when she was actually seventeen years of age. She was sat down and the black patent Mary Jane's were placed on her feet and strapped into place. Erica added, "I don't want to see any scuff marks on your pretty shoes angel or you will get the spanking of your life!...." A white ribbon was placed into her hair and lastly Erica removed her pacifier with a pink ribbon and placed it around her neck. "Now Alicia, whenever an adult places this in your mouth, it stays in. You may not spit it out no matter what". She trembled with fear as she looked at her mom. "How long will I have to wear these clothes mother?...I feel ridiculous. Oh the feeling is horrible." Erica smiled. "From now on baby Alicia, from now on. You can forget your past life of unruly behavior and doing as you please. You now have a schedule to keep and as of this moment my sweet baby girl is here to stay..." "But mom, I don't want to be a baby...oh please no...don't say that...." Erica held her finger to her lips. "Shhhhh, no pouting baby girl. It's time for your feeding. Erica led her out the room and all the women giggled with delight at every nervous movement by the errant teenager resulted in her taffeta dress making loud noises and her pettis bounced up and down. Her diapers and baby panties were on display along with her dreaded punishment tights that she learned to hate so much. She was a spectacle of ridiculousness. She walked down the stairs followed by Martha and Donna. Waiting for her in the living room were her sisters Caroline and Karen and Donna's thirteen year old daughter Mary Ellen whom Alicia used to babysit. They all howled in laughter at the appearance of their "older sister" dressed in baby attire. Erica stood behind Alicia fussing with her puffy sleeves and began to explain why Alicia was so attired. The three girls listened attentively, amidst their giggling as they cast their eyes upon the new baby. Alicia's cheeks were red with shame and she dropped her head staring at the floor. Erica then said, "Ladies, I want you to meet your two year old baby sister Alicia. For some time now, Alicia has been acting in every way like a baby so now with some help from Aunt Donna and your grandmother, she got her way...She can act like a baby all she wants now!....I have decided that now that she is the 'youngest' in the family that both Karen and Caroline will have complete authority over your baby sister. I will need your help in designing some new baby dresses for her and with her new nursery schedule. That means feeding, changing and baby-sitting. The girls laughed with delight. It would be great teaching baby Alicia how to play with blocks and dress up her dollies and they could buy her all of those neat electronic baby toys they saw at the store the other day. Oh and not to mention Blue's Clues toys and the TV show. Alicia hated that show so much and now that would become one of her favorites, thought Karen. Karen and Caroline beamed with delight. "Complete authority mother?..Even if she doesn't want to listen to us?...." Erica smiled. "Complete!...And she will listen and obey...." Karen walked up to Alicia, no longer afraid of retribution and touched her new outfit admiring the babyish effect it was having on her new baby sister. "Aw, look at our wittle baby sister Caroline. Isn't she just adorable?...The little Cuteypie!..." Caroline and Mary Ellen followed suit and were surrounded the shame faced baby as they commented, teased and handled her like a baby. Karen added, "This dress is so sweet, oh I can't wait to tell Judy. Once she sees this, she will agree that her three year old baby sister would die for this! Caroline even went and touched Alicia's bottom. "Look everyone, Alicia is wearing a diaper..." Everyone laughed. "Of course!...", said Erica. "That's what babies are supposed to wear!...." Alicia's baby discipline was fully accepted and enjoyed by the little girls she had terrorized so well in the past. She was receiving her proper comeuppance for her past unruly behavior. "Such pretty panties too...Oh I love your diapers....", quipped Mary Ellen. Then with a snidely smile added, "Remember when you used to change mine?....Now I get to change yours. I'll love that....." The comments and belittling was more than she could stand so Erica led Alicia into the kitchen for her first baby meal. She was shocked to see an oversized high chair there waiting for her. She was strapped into the high chair and her wrists and ankles secured, then a tray was placed and locked in front of her. "There we go my dear, already for dindin. Now be still!...." Erica spoke to everyone announcing Baby Alicia's new schedule. "Before baby gets her first meal, I thought it appropriate if I showed everyone baby's new strict nursery schedule. And here it is!..." She held up the chart that was decorated in babyish nursery decor and printed in large type. Apparently it would be put on display for all to see. 8:30am - sponge bath, diaper change and dressed for the day 9:00am - breakfast (oatmeal mixed with strained prunes and cod liver oil) in addition to three full bottles of baby formula 9:30am - playpen time and TV (appropriate children's shows only, such as Disney's Play House, Sesame Street, Teletubbies, Barney or Blue's Clues) 10:00am - enema (clean out breakfast) 10:15am - 11:45 - playtime time and selected children's TV shows 12:00 noon - Lunch (two vegetables, two fruits, one entree and three bottles of formula) 12:30pm - 2:00 PM - NapTime In Jammies 2:30pm - dinner (two entrees, four vegetables, two fruits and three bottles of formula) 3:00pm - educational TV programs and baby training 3:30pm - enema (clean out lunch and dinner), bath, re-dressed in jammies 4:00pm - bedtime The item that made Alicia cringe the most was the early bedtime schedule. Although the entire schedule sounded horrible. She never ate three meals per day and wondered about her new diet if it was to be all baby food. That would be devastating for her. Erica sensing her displeasure made a point of explaining baby's bed time schedule. "Alicia your normal every day bedtime will be four PM each and every day. However, if you act up or displease me or your sisters in any way, you could find yourself in bed as early as noon on any given day. And furthermore, a full day of crib confinement will be in order for severe temper tantrums or in your case, at least twice a month to ensure your compliance with your baby discipline. That means in a darkened room with night light on and only scheduled bottle feedings and diaper changes would be allowed." Karen was overjoyed now. She looked at her sister with a victorious smile. She finally succeeded in convincing her mother to make Alicia a baby. Her revenge was complete. Erica began to prepare baby's meal and she was quick to point out to Alicia that Gerber was going to be the mainstream of her diet. Alicia's facial expression was priceless. Her worsed fear had been realized. A baby's bib was tied around her neck so her pretty party dress would not be ruined. She felt many eyes glaring at her as she looked around the room. Her sisters were delighted with her petticoated condition. They were enjoying her humiliation and shame more than anyone. Even thirteen year old Mary Ellen was smiling. She was overjoyed that the once haughty teenager was now being kept under a strict discipline and that she would be allowed to participate. Martha, Erica's mother was grinning and Donna too. Alicia had a displeasure for all vegetables especially broccoli and liver. Erica knew that only too well. So her first baby meal was to consist of a large bowl of brown mush that was pureed liver mixed with cod liver oil and another bowl of strained broccoli. They were placed on the tray and Alicia turned her face away from the horrid odor. She was not going to eat something she disliked or so she thought. In addition, for dessert she would have strained prunes and applesauce, followed by three bottles of formula. Karen begged to feed her and as Erica quickly pointed out, that would be proper since Karen could begin assuming the role of her 'governess' right away. She held the spoonful of liver to Alicia's lips, but she refused to open her mouth. "Look mother baby Alicia doesn't like her dinner"., Karen said with a tone of sarcasticness. Erica added, "What she likes or dislikes will no longer be a concern. Baby food is designed to stimulate her digestive system and bowels, not her palate, so she must eat everything she is fed". With that Erica twisted her nose and Karen shoved in the liver. She put her hand under Alicia's chin and tilted her head back as well. Alicia made horrid faces as everyone laughed and swallowed the pasty mush with the oily taste of fish. "Now Karen, when feeding baby, put a lot on her spoon and keep shoveling it in". Karen nodded and followed her mother's advice. Broccoli and liver made it's way onto her face as well as Alicia tried to resist, but Karen simply spooned it up and fed it to her, including when she spit up someone her face and bib. The other girls were enjoying baby's first meal, cheering Karen on as she fed her every drop of her horrid meal. Alicia remembered all the delicious junk food meals she used to have like pizza and hamburgers. She tried not to swallow, but when she did everyone laughed. Karen commented, "Gee Judy's baby sister doesn't throw such a fuss like you Alicia. And she's three years old..." It took quite awhile to get her fed and she was full, even before her formula feeding. Erica brought out three eight ounce bottles of formula and placed them in the warmer. Alicia's eyes widened in horror. "What's that?...." Erica smiled. "Just Enfamil baby formula dear. This is what you will get three times daily to help fatten up your thighs and butt so you'll look like a proper baby. You won't need that girlish figure anymore now that your a baby...." The first bottle was forced into her mouth by pinching her nose and with her nose still pinched, she was forced to drink the contents of the baby bottle. The horrid looks on her face told everyone that she resented the taste, but emptied the bottle to her mother's satisfaction. It also contained a mild diuretic and sleeping medication. Once done, Alicia let out a huge burp which caused everyone to roar with laughter. She already was full from the babyfood and begged her mother to stop. Alicia pleaded, "please mom, I'll be good, I just don't want to be a baby, I'll even treat my sisters better I promise, oh please tell me this all a dream...Please??" Erica put her finger to Alicia's lips. "Hush sweet babykins. Are we having another tantrum?. What did mommy tell you about that, hmmmm??...Well mommy did warn you...." She went for another bottle and shoved that between her pouty lips. "You'll have to excuse baby Alicia everyone. She' in her 'terrible two's' you know..." All laughed and agreed. "That's a good baby, drink it all down and you'll feel much better. She smiled at Martha and Donna. Alicia was given a special medication mixed with a muscle relaxant in this bottle and began to notice a tickling feeling in her throat. After she was finished, Alicia began to whine and complain about the feeling that came over her and was scared. Erica noticed her uneasiness. "That's OK honey, it's just something to help you relax...That's all!!...." Alicia began to speak again, but this time, her words changed to unintelligible moans and silly prattle. Whatever she was trying to say just couldn't come out. Then suddenly she was babbling sweet baby gibberish, cooing and gaaing. She could not pronounce words much to everyone's amusement. "Hey look mom, Alicia even sounds like a baby...HAHAHA!...", chirped Caroline. Karen and Mary Ellen clapped for joy. "Now don't worry babykins, it's just something to help your voice box and tongue relax and to comply with your baby discipline. It certainly is much better than the foul mouth I have been hearing over the past month or so." Karen grinned at Alicia and asked, "Mom!....You know that Alicia has a potty mouth mother. And besides it would be inappropriate if she was allowed to talk like an adult, now that she's two!...So wouldn't it be in her best interests if she was made to sound like a baby all the time while she is under discipline?....She certainly talks so sweet now...." Erica added, "I believe you are right Karen!...In order to be effective she would require a dosage each morning with breakfast. That should take care of her whining, complaining, potty mouth and bad use of the English language. Now she can communicate as any other two year old can!...OK then, so be it!...Sorry baby!...." Everyone laughed. All the comments were positive and in favor of continuing the medication. Caroline asked, "MOM, how long will Alicia be a baby??..." The room became silent as everyone included Alicia waited for the answer. Erica laughed. "I'm glad you asked honey. At this time my plans for Alicia are indefinite. But who knows what tomorrow will bring...." The third bottle was set handed to Mary Ellen and she shoved it in Alicia's mouth with a great sense of pleasure and satisfaction. She talked to her in a condescending fashion as if she were a real two year old baby. Erica said, "Well it's just going on one o'clock now and baby has had a long day. I am going to put her to bed for the night now since she has been so whiny and cranky during her feed. Say goodnight to your sisters and her friends Alicia. "Alicia tried but could only babble unintelligently in soft baby prattle. Before she was led upstairs, Erica told her, "Going to bed early is your punishment for your temper tantrum. I will feed you later before dinner and check your diaper. Karen will assist me in getting you ready for nighty night. About an hour from now I will prepare your enema and you will be given that to purge your system of dinner and because you were so temperamental, I am going to ask Karen to assist me. She will learn how to give baby a proper enema. Now let's get you upstairs". Baby Alicia was led upstairs and undressed of her baby frock and petticoats. Her tights were removed and shoes and a babyish nightie was placed on her with Karen's assistance. She was placed face down into the crib and her hands secured with velcro straps to the sides. She was covered with her blankets and comforter and her pacifier was placed into her mouth. Karen wound up the mobile and it played the Lullaby Song. "Something to help you sleep sweet baby sister", she said with a smirk. "Pleasant dreams little one, sleep tight...." With that Erica kissed her on the forehead as did Karen and closed and locked the crib side. She turned on the nightlight and closed the heavy curtains and blinds. Before she left, she turned on the baby monitor and placed the receiver on her belt. She also turned on the camera so the girls could watch her on TV downstairs. Then they left the room closing and locking the door behind her. Alicia was stunned. She was weak from the sleeping medication and her muscles completely relaxed as she felt a warm feeling in her diapers. She had wet herself for the first time and it didn't feel very good. She was already too hot from her thickly padded crotch and punishment tights and the added warmth just added to her displeasure. She was confined and restrained to for her own good as she was told. She heard her mother talking to Karen out in the hallway about hosting baby's first coming out party. Karen suggested that would be so great and cool. All their friends and relatives could attend, including Karen's friends and some of Alicia's old high school chums. Now her life would be ruined!...She fell asleep, with a tear stained face. Today was her first day as a baby. After all, she had been acting like one all the time.... finis
