LOL Dan!

Flea, I'm sorry but that also made me laugh! Did she think you had done it on purpose or something? Mothers eh?

Lol. She was scared of getting stung. Thing is, it had already stung me, so she was safe. The family who helped me out (rather better than mum had done) still remembered the event of 1982 when mum returned recently

The stinging/beating did leave me with an enduring fear of bees though

I got stung by a bee once as a kid, when I was sat in the grass and put my hand down as support, straight onto a poor bee. It did hurt though. I still remember it now. I love bees. Wasps can do one.
My youngest got stung a few years back by a rather aggressive wasp that would not let go. We literally has to prize it off while he was screaming. Now he has a phobia of wasps, bees, anything that flies that looks like it may have a sting in it's tail. Ever since, he has never eaten outside during summer when we have our evening meal.
But, he will quite happily go to the densit and have anaesthetic injections into his gums or to the doctor for his jabs and doesn't bat an eyelid.

I'd run away from my mother beating me with the dogs lead, and not the leather end but the choke chain end.

I was once whipped with the chain type dog lead for refusing to go to bed in the early hours as I'd landed home severely pissed from a Nightclub,I was so drunk I just leaned forwards & laughed harder which got her even more angry before deciding I would go to bed before the exercise killed her.

If the kick was aimed at the dog, I'm afraid I have no sympathy

Now, aimed at the kid, I'd fully understand

It wasn't really aimed,it was just the dog happened to be under her feet(Golden Retriever)& was meant to be more a push with her foot than a kick but due to the dogs size,she almost tripped over resulting in her foot gaining speed.

My Mother was the devil in a temper,my dad once locked her in a bedroom as she'd lost her temper with him when they were stripping the wallpaper so she used the wallpaper stripper to hack a hole through the door.We kids were punished with all manner of items from slippers to hairbrushes(I also got another clout with what was left of the brush as it'd snapped across my backside)

If I revealed this information to the social services back then,it would likely be considered as acceptable punishment,whereas nowadays she'd be dragged off to jail.As a result of this,my own children have only ever endured the rough end of my tongue(or at worst,threats of immediate death & destruction if I found out they'd misbehaved,though I would never physically chastise them even if they had misbehaved in whatever way they'd been threatened with death for)

Sorry for wandering off-topic so fecking far...I promise to try harder to post on topic in future

Its fine the topic has been kind of resolved in a way. I just went ahead and used 15 % spearmint without checking as I just assumed it would be the same as the menthol, but how wrong was I ... The recommended for spearmint is about 5% and maybe even less, so I'm left with 50ml of 18 mg liquid that tastes rank, so I'm gonna water it down with another 50/50 pg/vg. Will take it down to about 9 mg but still leave the percentage of flavor at about 7 od % so will do that and if its still nasty I'll just put it down to my own stupid decision and assumption and bin it lol

Lol, I threaten my sisters kids that I'm going to rip out their windpipe and beat them to death with the tonsil end.... It doesn't scare them but they seem to stop whatever insanity they're up to...

Generally, my parents weren't violent. Didn't get slapped too often and only got the rough end of the cardigan once!

I did once get a slap when I'd got out of the bath, then Mum burst into fits of laughter because I had a perfectly formed red hand print on my arse. I wasn't similarly amused.

Nice uncle!!

Thankfully I am nothing like my mother. I think my boys would call the funny farm if I ever threatened them with violence.
I have also proven my mother wrong - you don't need to abuse your kids to keep them under control.
I prefer to talk to my kids and give them choices. I just try and steer them towards the right one.

This has got to be the best thread hijack ever. From spearmint custard to child abuse

Dan doesn't mind, he's joined in with it and he seems pretty laid back too

 

[Fleabag]

Mind you, there are some kids these days that are crying out for a bit of a beating
