Kate Gosselin Beats Her Children With a Wooden Spoon

New rumors claim Kate Gosselin frequently beats her children with a wooden spoon she dubs “The Spanker” whenever they misbehave. This according to Star Magazine, no doubt proven to be a bastion of truth.

Reporter Robert Hoffman claims to have found Kate’s secret journals on her computer where she kept detailed notes about how she doles out corporal punishment not only with a spoon but by yanking her kids around by their hair and pushing them for merely attempting to climb out of a crib or not potty training fast enough.

For example, when three of her children took some M&Ms without permission, she wrote, “I really, really lost it! I pulled Collin up by the hair, and I spanked them so hard!” Another time when Colin threw a tantrum, “I sent him to his crib and whipped him into it very hard…I never felt that I may really seriously injure a child, but today was that day.”

Aw, shoot. And she would have been a lock for that Mother of the Year Award if it wasn’t for those meddling kids. Then again, this may sound harsh, but kids are annoying and there are 8 of them running around, all of whom are partial clones of Kate herself so you can imagine how frustrating that must get.
