Its so insane that you can feel like your body is broken and then you realize f*** I need money to live and it just subdues the pain for 12hrs
I disagree tbh
I dont think u as a parent should hit ur children never as a disciplinary method
We did wild west style duels with bb guns in my house
the therapy speak/pussification stuff with my actual therapist is kinda throwing me off tbh
like too much s*** about feeling safe or whatever..i didnt want to go to therapy just to be told all my issues are actually fine i wanted to help change them
Try another one. I think like statistically it’s rare to land a good therapist on your first try.
Might have to try 2 or 3 or 4 until you find the one that fits you the best.
goated game and i dont think ive ever beaten it either lol

That sounds like a reward to me

probably my 8th total
im not a parent so i cant say as much but i feel like i would not beat my 16 year old kid either
16? he could probably kick my ass if im up in age.
I mean I don’t ever hit my kids and I was definitely beaten frequently as a kid. But it feels wrong to me to hit a small child, idk, intrinsically.
I don’t see a problem at all with beating your 16 year old kid though. So it depends.
It’s a hard question to answer. I definitely don’t believe in the “everyone’s special” mentality and think every kid should be nurtured to their strengths instead of told they’re great at everything even when they’re not.
But at the same time, bullying and discrimination and s*** is a real issue that needs to be continuously addressed and prevented for kids . It’s hard to find a balance.
Do you think there’s ways to get the idea of consequences through to your kid without hitting them? For example I was also beaten alot as a kid for acting out and stuff and like I hated it but eventually I just stopped. Idk if it’s related or what but I have a strong idea of consequences perhaps bc of it
It is super nuanced tho like you said and I don’t have kids ofc. I just wonder if in the path to over correct how it was done to us we end up creating new issues or monsters as well

I feel you. Until you’re a parent, it’s hard to understand.
Like what thing u think ur children would need to do for a hit to be deserved that ISNT already ilegal
probably my 8th total
Oh damn. Yeah you f***ed then srry
That sounds like a reward to me
Yeah but dad always got to use the bb shotgun and I was stuck with the pea shooter
My therapist calls me out on my bullshit constantly it’s good

My mom grabbed me by my hair once and threw me to the floor when I broke her cutting board after she yelled at me lol
Don’t yell at your kids man.
I grew up around a lot of yelling and it’s definitely something that’s stuck with me in a negative way.
See then you get this issue where it’s like you can’t do anything at all
Whereas sometimes I feel you exhaust all options. Not saying belittle and tell 24/7 but

i watched what was sorta a competitive parenting show where a panel of child behavioral experts graded families
best family was where the parents basically communicated with their kids like they were tiny adults. they had mature understandings of respect that you’d find in more adult relationships. idk how exactly they got to that point, but it was interesting to see.
My mom grabbed me by my hair once and threw me to the floor when I broke her cutting board after she yelled at me lol
See that sounds like a crazy reaction that isnt deserved to throw ur child in the floor
I dont think ruling by fear truly helps
we should normalize setting up a boxing match with your firstborn on his 16th birthday

I would say it depends on the kid. If you teach the kid empathy, that’s a useful strategy to get them to stop doing s***. But every kid is different.
Like my daughter, as a toddler, would stop doing something bad instantly if i pretended to cry. My son, on the other hand, laughs in response and does 2x as much

I’m sure all parents make the mistake of raising their voice at some point no one is perfect and life is a struggle.
But 1. I’d make it my life goal to not let that happen in front of others for the kids sake and 2. It should be a “mistake” or last resort not the default option.

Therapy talk is highkey a net negative imo
i get the idea and sentiment but like I am a very blunt and direct person I hate that fluffy stuff
Confrontation and uncomfortable situations are an inherent part of life you cannot avoid it and stick only to safe bubbles idk
