I get the “I’m sorry I was such a horrible mother” followed by a guilt trip - only from my mom.  Then a few hours later it might followed up by something to insult me, like I should do XX or I’m not doing XX enough, blah, blah, blah.  I ignore it.  Funny thing (not really) is that they would be appalled by the idea of my kids getting spanked (we don’t).  I distinctly remember my father whipping me with a belt until my legs bled for losing a key to a padlock I put on the gate when I was 7.  What an a$$hole.  When I think about it and look at my own 8 year old, I just wonder how anyone could even think that was ok.  My mom, of course, just backed my dad up- ‘why did you put the lock on the gate?’.  My parents are still married and I don’t really ever talk to my dad - I can’t imagine why.  Also, if he had whipped an adult like that, he would be jailed - but somehow it’s okay to do it to a vulnerable child.[/quote]
