Ever since ive been young around the age of 7 or so. Ive been spanked! My mom is a single parent who apparently thinks that corporal punishment still should be handed out. Recently Ive been spanked for the smallest "crimes" as my mom would call them. Recently Ive had to go over her knee for a hairbrush and a wooden spoon. Of course you cant forget the old fashion hand spanking. She has threatened to use the belt. She tells me whenever i do something wrong even if it's not doing one chore i get severly spanked. Ive tried pleaing with her but it doesnt help.
Do you think it's normal?

I don't think she's allowed to hit you, especially with an object, but unfortunately that doesn't stop many parents. What age are you?
all perents should spank their kids because if you don't they will disrespect you and not listen when they are older. getting spanked at a young age will grow respect.
I don't know because it's only a wooden spoon and hairbrush right? For me, it wouldn't matter too much as long as I don't get bruises, don't feel pain or much pain, and it's not on the head. Not the head- please and thank you- I need to preserve my brain cells. Enough of them died during my childhood. Hey...at least it isn't as bad as my dad.
Parents should not spank there kids because it leads them to be more abusive to them when they get older. And my dad use to to that shit and know he punches me and kicks me.
It depends how old you are... spanking older kids is kinda weird
I actually agree with sapanking, but not spanking on a regular basis. It should be used sparingly. I think it's rediculous to believe that an occasional light spanking will cause a child to become a fucked up adult, as long as the parent is careful not to overdo it, such as in your case. See, in the case of your mother,I would say that the use of spanking is done way way too much.
Good, hard regular spankings will do you good. Your mom spanks you because she loves you and wants you to learn responsibility. If you don't want to get spanked don't mess up. If you do mess up it's your mom's job to bruise your bottom.

Fear is not respect, and I will severely beat my mother should she try to punish me for something I know was wrong. Punishment is overrated and useless.

My mother never spanks me, and no offense but i think that spanking will just make you scared of not doing well, I dont think it actually helps.

When i mess up, sure, they get mad at me, but they NEVER spank me---unless i annoy them to the point that they get sooo frustrated, but that barely ever happens.
Some of these comments scare the hell out of me.

What you're describing is ABUSE. Nothing less.
first of all how old are you and second of all threaten her tell her your sick of her doing it so much and say that you'll defend yourself if needed that should get the message across
Face it. You *like* being spanked.
If you're a minor, speak to your school counselor. You can also go to www.nospank.net for advocacy.
