Cool story. Quick question: you ever honestly and angrily called your kid a little cunt to their face? Ever hit them so hard with something that the item in question broke? Or my personal favourite anecdote, woken your kid up by hurling a kilogram of solid frozen lamb chops at their head screaming about freezer burn?
Don’t excuse shitty parents who take their unhappiness out on helpless children.
You tried to equate parental frustration and childish obliviousness with familial abuse. As you should be aware, my comments were to highlight the difference between “gee, mums get frustrated sometimes” and what the actual topic of this thread is.
And you don’t have to beat a kid to be a shitty parent, jsyk.
So why make a comment about “gee i never got why mum was stressed as a kid then i grew up and realised adult things” on a post explicitly about abusive parents?
Ever hit them so hard with something that the item in question broke?
Tbf, that bit is somewhat dependent on context. I agree, >90% of parents that do that are just shit. My personal experience was different - my dad though ahead and had a specific setup for paddling. Multiple warnings ahead of time, and used narrow-handled wooden spoons, so they’d break so he couldn’t put too much force into it
I mean, having specific implements you choose to hit your kid with. Consider that. Also consider the fact I literally wrote a paragraph detailing clear abuse…and your brain tried to excuse it. I’m not calling you an apologist, just…think about how your brain did that.
And yes, I’m aware of “how it was back then” I’m genX. It’s still messed up.

Ever.
I don’t think I ever suggested beating a child

Nope. That was all you
This thread is so flush with anti-natalists, I don’t think it’s part of the equation.

You do see what that looks like, right?
It’s a post about grown ups no longer talking to their parents.
because…?
No but shut up and be grateful is clearly the point of your comment
Logic and compassion come sporadically to you don’t they
That wasn’t my point at all
Please do elaborate. What the hell then was your point

yeah still fucked up tho.

Way to ignore half of my comment
Go fuck yourself. The fact you’re willing to type that proves you’re an asshole, and I’m not even surprised you turned out to be like that
