wow, I haven't had maar by my mother for over a decade now. I get daant almost everyday that I totally ignore it now and that seems to be the only way my mother communicates with me, lol, it's all good though.
i remember getting maar by my mother too often with kitchen utensils. I think I remember getting smacked with a rolling pin, lol. my mum used to really tough with my sisters, lol, i remember one of my sisters getting maar with a rubber pipe, ouch, but that was one of the only times she got maar.
