I got smacked on the bottom maybe three times by my (awesome) parents when I had been wilfully bad and warned many times.
I know my parents hated doing it, they never did it in anger. To be honest, I didn’t consider it much of a punishment, it was worse knowing I’d upset my parents. I remember one time I’d driven mum to tears and been sent to my room I emptied my piggy bank and snuck out and bought her chocolates. I’m such a soft touch.
I am never going to spank my children.
