Perhaps the story ends with the mother realizing that this was a bad idea. After seeing the emotional distress it caused the child, she might apologize and vow to use more positive and less invasive forms of discipline in the future. And the relationships within the family start to heal.
It could end with the child learning a valuable lesson and changing their behavior for the better. The spanking, though controversial, might have been the shock the child needed to realize their actions were wrong.
This is an unusual and somewhat concerning situation. However, if it's in a disciplinary context in a story, perhaps the mother thought the other women could offer a different perspective on discipline. For example, in some old - fashioned communities, aunts or family friends might be involved in teaching a misbehaving child a lesson. But in modern times, this is not a common practice as it can be seen as inappropriate and may have negative impacts on a child's self - esteem.
This is an inappropriate and unethical situation in modern education. In most educational systems, spanking is not an acceptable form of discipline. However, in some fictional or very old - fashioned stories, perhaps a mother might think the teacher has more authority and in a moment of extreme frustration with her son's misbehavior, she might make such a request. But this goes against the principles of positive discipline and respect for a child's rights.
Perhaps she grew up in an environment where this kind of group discipline was considered normal, but she fails to recognize that modern society has different values. Another reason could be that she is at her wits' end with her son's behavior and is desperate for a solution, but this is not a solution at all. It can cause emotional and psychological harm to the boy, and also create a very strange dynamic in the family and among the moms involved.
There could be several reasons. Maybe your mom thought that she was too close to you to be objective when it came to disciplining you. Or she might have believed that the other mother had more experience in dealing with similar behavior. Another possibility is that your mom was really angry and not thinking clearly, so she made this rather odd decision.
This is a rather unusual topic. One possible story could be that in a very strict and traditional community, a child might see a friend's mother as a figure of extreme authority. Maybe the child misbehaves in front of her and has a strange sense of expecting her to spank as a form of discipline because they have seen her be so strict with their friend. However, this is not a common or healthy form of thinking in modern society as it involves crossing family boundaries.
Another type of story could be set in a historical context. Women in certain historical periods might have had to use spanking as a means of maintaining order in a large family or among servants. However, modern views often frown upon such physical forms of discipline as we now focus more on non - violent and positive parenting and management methods.
No, they are not appropriate. Spanking is an archaic form of discipline that can be physically and psychologically harmful to a child. In modern society, we advocate for positive and non - violent forms of discipline. And having a mother watch such an act is even more inappropriate as it can be very traumatizing for both the mother and the child.
No, it's not normal. In most cultures, discipline is a family - specific matter. The idea of wanting someone outside the family, especially a friend's mother, to administer physical discipline is inappropriate and goes against the norms of personal boundaries and family privacy.
The 'Other Mother' is a very creepy character in a scary story. In 'Coraline', the Other Mother at first seems kind but then reveals her true, terrifying self. She has button eyes and wants to keep Coraline in a strange, alternate world where everything is a distorted version of her real home. She represents a kind of false allure that hides a dark and menacing intention.
I'm not sure there are many positive or common stories about this. In a school setting, spanking by a teacher is generally not an acceptable form of discipline in modern education. If such a situation were to occur, it could be a very distressing event for the child. The mother watching it would likely be horrified and might take immediate action to protect her child and address the inappropriate behavior of the teacher.
