Substance abuse is another possible reason. If a mom is addicted to drugs or alcohol, it can cloud her judgment and make her more likely to be abusive. Additionally, a lack of support system, like not having family or friends to talk to or get help from, can make her feel isolated and more prone to taking out her frustrations on her kids.
Stress can be a big factor. Maybe she has financial problems, like she can't pay the bills or is worried about losing her job. This stress can make her lash out at her family.
Some writers might create 'Edward is abusive to Bella' fanfiction to explore the darker side of human nature and relationships. They want to see how the story would unfold if the relationship had a negative turn.
One reason could be for the shock value. Authors might want to create a very different and unexpected scenario to draw readers in. Another could be a misinterpretation of Natsu's passionate and brash nature as something more negative and controlling.
One reason could be a lack of emotional connection in her marriage. For example, if her husband is always busy at work and doesn't have time to talk to her about her feelings, she might seek that connection elsewhere.
One reason could be love. A mom might be submissive because she loves her children so much that she is willing to sacrifice her own wants. For example, she'll let them have the last piece of cake.
When it comes to safety issues, moms may spank. For example, if a child runs into the street without looking, the mom might spank to make sure the child understands how dangerous it was and never does it again. It's a way to quickly drive home the importance of safety.
One reason could be for the child's betterment. For example, if the mom blackmailed the child to practice an instrument, it might be because she wants the child to develop a talent.
Well, often in these stories, a child's repeated bad habits can lead to a mom spanking. For instance, a child who always leaves their toys scattered everywhere and refuses to clean up even after being told many times. The mom may feel that a spank is necessary to get the child to start taking responsibility for their mess. Another reason can be when a child lies continuously. A mom might spank to show the child that lying is unacceptable behavior.
A young mom might be depressed because she has had to give up a lot for the baby. Maybe she had to quit her job or put her career on hold. This can make her feel like she has lost her purpose outside of being a mom. Social pressure can also play a part. If she feels like she's not measuring up to the 'ideal' mom image that society promotes, she can become depressed. Also, if she has a history of mental health issues in her family, she may be more prone to depression after having a baby.
One possible reason is disobedience. If a child repeatedly refuses to follow the rules set by the mom, like not doing homework or not going to bed on time, the mom might cane as a form of discipline.
Jealousy could be a reason. Maybe she sees other moms having something she wants, like a more successful child or a closer group of friends, so she bullies to make herself feel better.
