Mothers in spanking art
Mothers play an important role in child spanking art because in practice in most families it is the mother's task to discipline the children. This is especially true for younger children.
In spanking stories and visual arts, there are a lot of F/f and F/m pairings where the spanker is the girl's or boy's mother.
