[QUOTE="Lil, post: 735032, member: 17309"] My mom was wonderful, really. We got very few spankings and I can think of 4 times in my entire life when a slap was given in my house, twice to my brother and twice to me...and we were mid to late teens all four times, certainly old enough to control our own selves. The above smack - which as I said, she felt horrible about after, was indeed poor self control; more of a reflex. I got one of those once too...I don't remember even what it was about, but Mom was definitely in the wrong that time and knew it and apologized after she found me - I left and went to the barn and stayed there a good long time and scared the heck out of her and she deserved it. Once mom slipped and fell and actually was in pain - and I laughed at her. She told me to stop laughing and I didn't...actually after the smack I laughed even harder. She gave up. Once my brother (about age 19 and over 6' and muscular) just LOST HIS MIND after a fight with his girlfriend over the phone. He was yelling and screaming and put his fist thru the plaster wall! My little fat mom waded into him swinging with both hands. As soon as she connected he stopped and started crying and everything calmed down. She later said she hadn't even thought, just reacted to his tantrum and realized later that if he'd have hit her she'd have died. An exaggeration, but yeah...he'd have done some damage. Is slapping someone appropriate? Probably not. But I admit if I hadn't been across the room, so he had time to know it was coming and duck, I'd have slapped my own 17 year old son right across the mouth the day he called me a b**ch - and I would not have felt bad about it. (Incidentally, he never did it again even though I missed.) My own mom was born in 1927...in her generation, certain things got you slapped...usually cursing someone or backtalking. I don't actually blame her a bit (for 3 of them). If nothing else, we certainly knew not to backtalk our mother! Even though backtalk was never the reason for a smack, we always assumed we'd get one for it. [/QUOTE]
