My first time as a mother

You have a lot of stories on your website which are told from the child’s perspective [to be absolutely accurate, the person who was a child at the time – Ed] so I thought I might tell you, for those who have never been in the position, how it felt to give my first spanking as a mother.

I came from a fairly middle class background and went to Cambridge. I was a bright, educated product of the enlightened world and I never thought in a million years that I would use corporal punishment when I became a mother.
