Irish mothers across the country, are now planning on replacing the physical forms of threat they use on their children, with a more psychological approach after watching the recent RTE Breach Of Trust documentary.

The wooden spoon has been a fond favourite of many Irish mothers over the years. It’s used as a tool for both intimidation and actual physical abuse, but many claim it does have its set backs.

The wooden spoon can often leaves physical marks on the child’s body and the mothers DNA and finger prints on the handle, not very good when the authorities start to investigate.

Punishment

So, Irish mothers are going to start using the threat of créche as a form of correction and punishment for their misbehaving children. It appears to be more appealing to them because the only scaring will be emotional and psychological and this is much harder to notice.

Phrases such as “Do you want me to send you to that créche?!” and “Right, that’s it, you’re getting the Créche!” are expected to become commonplace in the Irish home over the coming years.

Créches appear now to be taking the place of the most frightening things in Irish childhoods, beating the coveted wooden spoon to the top spot.

It seems that no matter what generation you’re part of in Ireland, there will always be something extremely terrifying in your childhood to ensure that you enter your adult life with several complexes and underlying emotional issues.
