So be a man and own up to what you did. Tell the kids, in front of your W, that you disrespected their mother... your W. Tell them it was wrong and that you are sorry for it. Tell them that this is NOT how a man treats his wife and is not how a father is supposed to act. Tell you were wrong and apologize to the for disrespecting the family.
By owning what you did, it gives your kids a new look at Dad. "Holy cow dogs... Dad just owned his ef up big time." Think about that. Yeah, that poop sandwich is going to taste bad... But by owning it you get to use condiments.
A paddling? Cripes, my father would have beat me silly...
