If I ever did something remotely close to what this girl is doing, my father would shoot me first & then disown me.
I was rooting for a car to hit her.
That's the problem. Parents want to be their kids’ friend instead of their parents. So these little fucktards are nothing but disrespectful.
Wtf happened? When did properly disciplining children become abuse?
Sometime in the 90s, I think. Definitely, by the 2000s, you could get into trouble. Although, most don't know that an open hand on the butt is legal.
Back in the 80s, I talked back to my mom and she slapped me across the face. 😂 I never did it again!
violence or not, you cannot teach what you don't know. An adult with no respect cannot grow a child with respect. Violence is just an illusion, like "I am an asshole, but I can teach him with violence".

Another factor (is this up to debate?) is the people are autonomous and not everything can be blamed on one's parents.
This moral flaw - blaming parents, not the individual - may be more detrimental than choice of discipline methods.

To a certain point when people develop into their own person, sure. That age number varies for each one. The crucial years in a child's development is still important though. From my personal experience, I can always trace back to my childhood the values my parents tried to teach me. It didn't make sense then but now, they're invaluable.
The new generation it seems lacks a lot of attention. Social media has taught us that.
@lo @loweel @thenorthern @umad80
Yes that's true. I have 6 kids at different ages and levels of development. I'd say kids start making their own autonomous choices around 3 years of average developmental age. You're making choices in alignment or in contrast to values you have been exposed to. But unless you lived in a bunker, your parents weren't the only influences. I'd venture to say that today we are exposed to far more influences than we used to be, and culture has changed as well.
I won't claim it's all me when my kids make good choices. They get that credit themselves. They also get credit when they make bad choices.
