Kids, Parenting, Weird and Awkward: Parent-sanctioned violence

Parent-sanctioned violence

By Momma - 26/03/2021 13:01 - United Kingdom

Today, my daughter informed me that, in order to train the dumb out of her brother, she’s gonna slap him whenever he says or does something dumb. She’s slapped him 8 times already and unfortunately, each slap was justified. My boy is dumb as a box of rocks. Hope the slapping helps. FML

Today, I found my daughter punching her brother repeatedly. Apparently, he'd put the wrong fuel in her van so after 20 years of him being a moron, she decided to beat the stupid out of him. Thing is it’s worked; he’s too bruised and scared of her to do anything, period, just in case. FML

Today, I came home from work to my 4-year old daughter cussing left and right. I asked her about it; she said that her brother had taught her some words. When I confronted him about the situation, he kicked my shin and screamed, "Stop treating me like a fucking child!" He's 5. FML

Today, I got grounded for 2 weeks for slapping my brother after he threw a baseball at my head and hit my shin with a bat. He’s in 9th grade and I'm in 8th. He got ice cream to "cheer him up". FML

Today, my daughter threw my stepson down the stairs. When I asked what the hell was going on, she claimed she was just demonstrating her willingness to seriously injure him the next time she catches him in her underwear drawer or in her room at all. I’m not sure which direction to parent in here. FML

Not her fault neither mine

Today, my 4 year old daughter got royally annoyed at my uncle who won't stop surprise tickling her by poking her waist. When he went for another, she punched him square on the nose, making him a laughing stock. Not accepting that he got owned, he started preaching about child discipline to me. FML

Today, I got home to my son with a bruised face and my daughter locked in her room. Apparently, when she got home from work, her unemployed brother asked her when she was going to cook dinner, so she punched him in the head. He’s so entitled that he actually thought he’d get sympathy from me. FML

Today, my son trained his little sister to walk up to strangers and whimper: "My mommy punches me." FML

Get your act together

Today, my girlfriend snapped at me for being lazy and incompetent, and declared that if I was going to behave like a child, she would be treating me like one. This includes safety-proofing the house, talking to me like a 3-year-old and slapping me with a wooden spoon when I do something wrong. FML

Today, my son has a habit of picking on his little brother when in a bad mood. I heard a massive crash and found him out cold with his little brother holding a homemade slingshot and a bunch of rocks. Apparently, in school they just learned about David and Goliath. FML

Today, my son warned me that unless I get his older brother to stop picking on him, he’d do it himself. I didn’t take it seriously, until I got home from work to find he'd had beaten his brother unconscious. His justification was that he's warned me he’d "do it himself.“ FML

Wow such great parenting. I feel bad for your son, having to live with you.

You're dumb if you think that's the right way to handle the situation. How about if he says or does something that's not right, you verbally (can't believe I had to specify that) correct him? He won't know why what he did or said was wrong if you don't tell him what it was or why it's wrong. All you're doing is teaching your daughter to react violently instead of patiently. Condoning violence isn't the right answer when you're trying to raise children. Step up and be a parent.

You're condoning bullying. Nice.

Has it helped? Bullying and violence isn't the answer.

Your daughter is abusing your son, and you're just going to let her, because you think it's justified?

Maybe Mom needs a slap or two to become a better parent? Seriously Mom, imagine you were on the receiving end of such treatment. Is that how you would want to be treated? I think not! And you are failing both your daughter and your son as a parent. Beating someone never makes them smarter. Perhaps your son has a developmental or learning disability. Maybe Fetal Alcohol syndrome - Did you drink alcohol when you were pregnant with your son? Are you trying to get help for your son or do you just enjoy seeing the abuse?
