I grew up in the 1970s in the south of England. My mother had me when she was considerably older than most mums and gave birth to me at 30 years old. Dues to certain circumstances mother raised me as a single parent and thus, taking on the roles of both mother and father she was very strict. Having said that, I had a good upbringing and my mother provided well for me and worked hard to give me the best life she could. Mum firmly believed in corporal punishment as the main form of discipline. I can actually remember having my bottom smacked for the first-ever time.  This particular punishment was given for drawing on my bedroom wall. My mother was furious and I was taken to her own bedroom for chastisement.
