My cousin has a 8 mm film when I was six years old. We’re all sitting at the table having dinner. My mother reaches for a biscuit and I duck. My mother would hit me and my siblings with whatever she could get her hands on.
It was my mother’s job. My dad might pull his belt off and yell a lot but he wasn’t the one I worried about.
That sounds most unfair, and I am sorry that you and your siblings had to endure it.
As for Sarah Ferguson - I have never seen such out of control attention seeking. Even when we were 10 year olds, I think we were more mature than she is.
