My mom was wicked when it came to spanking. She really shouldn't have had children to begin with....her tolerance for even the smallest offenses, was damn near zero, most of the time.
Whatever she could grab became her spanking tool. I don't even know how many wooden spoons she busted on me? She also "seemed" to enjoy making me pick my own switch from the bushes. I would have welts all up and down my legs and arms (trying to protect myself).
How the fuck was this ever considered acceptable?
To be absoluetly honest it's part of the reason I've decided not to have kids. I don't have a lot of patience and I have a very bad temper.
I don't think I'd make a very good mother.
