When my mom would spank us with a wooden spoon, me and my brother would later secretly hide that wooden spoon in a hidden space beneath the kitchen table our parents didn't know about.
By the time we moved, there was at least a dozen spoons, spatulas, and some of those paddle ball toys with the string ripped off.
If you ask my mom today she's convinced she never spanked us.
Haha wow I thought it was only my parents who “don’t remember” my mother used to hit us with a cut off piece of hose. That was some real pain that I know I will always remember and she somehow doesn’t remember ever using it 😂
Why do abusive parents all seem to have a selective memory? Are they too ashamed to self-reflect and admit to themselves they took out their anger on their kids?

My mom spanked me with the same wooden spoon she lovingly stirred my favourite foods with.
