I "spank" my goats. I will pop them on the shoulder or backside when they need it, for being overly pushy or aggressive. I don have a problem with spanking, goats or kids or most other critters (my reptiles dont get spanked, lol)
However, I dont have a mother here telling me that its against the rules. If your mom says "dont hit the goats" then hon, you dont hit the goats.
To be blunt, you live in your mother's house, and so, her house=her rules. It's just the way it has to be and it's that way for good reasons, you dont have to like it (I never did, lol) but you do need to respect it.
As for the computer thing, I wonder if your mom is maybe a little jealous of your computer. Make sure to spend some "Hang out" time with your mom. It may help BOTH of your attitudes and feelings.
Dont be in such a rush to move out. There is not as much freedom in moving out as people your age seem to think there is. At home with your parents, if you break the rules you get yelled at or grounded. Once you move out and break the rules, you get fired or even worse, go to jail. Then add in rent/mortage, power/ phone, insurance, gas, medical bills, property taxes, personal taxes etc. Once you do move out, you will quickly realize all the stuff your parents have done for you that you didnt even realize.
Moms can be difficult. I know this. My mother is/was the poster child for overbearing bossy mothers that dont know when to quit. BUT, she is my mother and I respect her for that, if nothing else.
I know that the computer is not the most important thing in your life. Mother's say stuff like that when their feeling are hurt, when they feel left out.....Go spend some time with your mom. Make her a bowl of icecream, tell her that you love her and watch some tube or play a board game or something. Show her that you respect her rules and her leadership and show her that you love and respect her........see if it doesnt make the next six years a lot easier.
