Being hit by a parent is abuse, which they said happened, you bozo.

Sometimes grounding and assertiveness doesn’t work lol

Pretty sure they said it one like the 2nd or 3rd page lol

When did I say otherwise ?

I didn’t look at this that deeply as a kid Dawg

It was “oh I was bad? Guess I won’t do that again haha”

Why would anyone apple physical abuse then when there're actually civilized options available?

“My parents beat me until I had black and blues and occasional bleeding, but it’s okay that’s not abuse!”

"nah i mean looking back at it it was necessary to get discipline so it's ok" headass

Idk, I grew up knowing exactly why I would get put in timeout or whooped maybe im just different

Lol I wasn’t breaking down the psychologicals of why my parents were whooping me

Idk why you’re telling me this acting like this is what I do? I talk to my kid, I use time out, and when he gets older I’ll use more methods but what i’m not gonna do is let my kid continue to run all over me if those methods stop working once he’s a certain age.
That’s when i’ll start letting him know look if you don’t act right after all these other things i’ve had to try, you’re getting ya butt whooped not hard or anything and not enough to make them scared of me but that’s besides the point, ima raise and discipline my kid how I want to and you can say whatever whiny baby ass bullshit you want about it, I do not care

Right and I said at that point they need behavioral therapy. So why would they need to be hit if they were in behavioral therapy? (Which is what he said, that they would still need to be hit)

Maybe it’s because despite what y’all are claiming hitting children isn’t a legitimate form of discipline it’s just a way for insecure parents lashing out to show dominance over their inability to control their kids actions.

Get these mfs in therapy man holy s***

This is not always the case, kids can definitely tell at times what they should or shouldn't be doing

This s*** is CRAZY just admitting to laziness and falling back on something as brutal and unnecessary as VIOLENCE on children

Brah I’m not seeking therapy for a 6 year old get all the way the f*** out of here with this take

A lil whooping on the butt isnt equivalent to getting beaten black and blue wtf

lmbo seeing people ITT who are entrenched in their views (on both sides) arguing for the sake of arguing

just avy post and keep it moving

This is why people who don’t plan to be parents and put the work in to learn how to properly discipline their children need to stop having kids. If you think you have to or may need to physically strike a child in any way you are unfit to raise a child. Seek therapy.

Ur jumping in a middle of a convo where I address this point prior lol where physical discipline has more advantages in certain instances than non

If you knew why you got whooped, it doesn't mean it couldn't be handled differently with the desirable result this is exactly what parentship is all about

nah because that's your definition n association of words...you can't claim your definition is also his...espc when he already said it isn't....in order to create a new version of "what he said"...bc then it isnt what he said

“At times” once again we are leaving things to chance and there is no assumption that anything wrong can happen as a result

We can happily eliminate violence from childrens’ lives but y’all will continue to defend it because you’re all trying to shortcut raising a f***ing human being

The fact that you want your children to be scared of you says everything. You are supposed to be your child’s protector not someone they fear. And that’s why if they f*** up they won’t come to you to resolve it and instead try to hide it.
