Edit: I retract my reply. Yes - yes I am judgmental. IF somebody is beating their child because they won’t stop crying. Yes I will scream it from the rooftops. Yes, please and thank you. That’s what somebody should do when a child is being abused.
This is obviously a touchy subject for you. I’m sorry if this happened to you because it was wrong. If you’re doing it to somebody, and it bothers you, because I’m pointing it out, then shame on you. YES 👏👏👏
It's not touchy for me. Parents need to full discipline their kids without worrying about people like you looking down their noses at them for doing it.
What's touchy for me is every idiot out there screaming "child abuse" and now we have a whole generation of miscreants as a result.
We tried the "no dear don't do that" it doesn't work... obviously.
What does work? "Don't touch that or you'll pay the consequences"
Better to learn in the home than in the jail cell.
I never said that I didn’t agree with corporal punishment. I do. I’ve said that more than once here.
What I don’t agree with, is disciplining your child, and then telling them that you’re going to abuse them, because they won’t stop crying. That’s what the entire meme is about, and that’s what my beef is.
Yes, there are times when a child needs to be spanked. But spanking them again, because they won’t stop crying, is the stupidest idea ever.
You keep conflating the issue.
Reread what I said before. Before you start telling me about kids, becoming monsters because they’re not disciplined. I never said a child should not be disciplined. I said a child should not be abused. There’s a huge difference. But apparently you don’t know that, so I have concerns.
Also… If a parent is treating their child like the meme says, this is happening behind closed doors. There’s nobody there to judge anybody. So your premise for trying to denigrate me isn’t gonna work.
I have no problem walking down the aisle of Walmart, seeing a parent discipline, their children when they’re having a tantrum. One Swift spanking is fine. But parent that tell their children “if they don’t shut up” they’re going to hit them again, aren’t doing that in public. You know that, and I know that.
Just to be clear.
Corporal punishment, and a swift quick spanking is acceptable to discipline a child.
Threatening to continue to hit a child because they won’t stop crying is abuse.
There you are. I don’t think I can make it any more clear for you.
You are very judgmental and have made a mountain out of a molehill.
No, I am not
And I’m merely replying to your comment
God bless you and have a great day
