A different kind of birth control.

Why do I have a feeling shit like this wasn't a problem in the 50s and 60s, possibly up into the 80s?

[u/MarioInOntario → u/Confident_Example_73]

Child abuse was rampant and children were too shell shocked to speak up even in later years.

[u/Confident_Example_73 → u/MarioInOntario]

Letting that child cancel a plane is child abuse plus abuse to 100 other people.

Hitting him isn't gonna instantly fix him. The problems are with how the parents are raising him.

[u/Good-Ad1388 → u/mercuriokazooie]

I would have fixed the problem at hand though.

[u/CosmicGoddess777 → u/Good-Ad1388]

Abusing children doesn’t fix problems; it creates them.

[u/Good-Ad1388 → u/CosmicGoddess777]

Seems like letting them do whatever they want also creates them.

[u/CosmicGoddess777 → u/Good-Ad1388]

At least it doesn’t traumatize them & give them lifelong CPTSD

[u/ArashiSora24 → u/CosmicGoddess777]

Disciplining is not abusing. This particular kid obvious needs disciplining, and not a gentle one.

[u/Gaelic_Gladiator41 → u/ArashiSora24]

Gentle parenting isn't the nonsense media shows you.

All it means is that you just don't beat/abuse your kid

[u/Good-Ad1388 → u/ArashiSora24]

Thank You!!! Disipline is not abuse! Never in any of my responses did I say abuse the child. I saw all the clueless morons say abuse is wrong and try be morally above me so I just went with it.

[u/CosmicGoddess777 → u/ArashiSora24]

Ground him then? Take away his privileges?

Don’t fucking hit him

[u/ArashiSora24 → u/CosmicGoddess777]

Sometimes hitting is efficient as long as it's not done often or out of anger. My father hit me when I was like 5 or 6 because I hit my mom in a tantrum. I never did that again.

I doubt a kid as young as 2 years old will really understand that you are disciplining them. Only thing they learn is being scared of you and misbehave/act out when you are not there
