Morwen: Wiki entry on Lord Invader doesn't say much of his personal life, so don't know if he had any children in fact. But if he had, I am sure he would have loved them and they him, even if he had occasionally used a strap on them [which he might just have been saying anyhow for the effect of his song!]. I gather that you have been fortunate enough not to have experienced any such; but if you had I am sure it would not have made any difference to your love for your parents. It didn't in the days when it was a normal expectation. I know my own grandfather kept a 'cat' at home to threaten my Uncle David, who, my mother told me, was a very naughty boy; tho Grandpa was in general too indulgent actually to use it. Uncle Dave grew up to be the richest of the eight brothers and sisters of whom he & my mother were two!
