Sure, cause some mental and emotional trauma to the children. That usually works out well.

Since when is it mentally and emotionally traumatic to have water thrown at you?

Aughh!! Water!! Oh, the horror and irony of it all!!!!

"Water physically abused me. I shall never be the same."

I would have

Filled the bucket with what? ;)

70- So you think it's acceptable for the mother to take the bucket, fill it with water, then fling that water onto her seven year old child, as a form of punishment? The mother, who the child still loves, who is probably almost two feet taller than the seven year old, standing over them and pouring a bucket of water on them in retaliation. How does that not seem abusive to you? The mother is the mother. It is her responsibility to be the adult, and not lower herself to childish behavior.

117 - No, I'm not saying its ok for every parent to take a bucket of water and throw it on their kids. However, I just don't think it's as traumatizing as you made it out to be.

Yes, because everyone mops floors by simply throwing the water on the floor.

They're kids.......

Yes, they're kids. But 7 and 9 year olds probably know better than that.

No.

Wicked. 'Nuff said
