It's amazing that you complain about people not reading and responding to stuff in their head, then you turn around it do it yourself.
1: I quite clearly stated that this was inappropriate behavior that needs to be educated away. I don't know how you think my example is condoning the action. Children need to be taught to keep their hands to themselves, this is a normal part of child development. It is normal for children to have Big Emotions and not know how to use their words yet. Normal doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed, it just means that every child has to have it addressed.
2: Have you not read the rest of the thread? Starting with the post calling the child a garbage person?
3: I never said anything to the contrary?
Then why are you defending it so hard?
1 - You say it's inappropriate right after saying 'this is shit kids do', you're still softballing your disapproval by acting like this is normal
2 - I don't read that as talking to the child, but venting about them to other adults, as I seen tons of times (with choice words, but still)
3 - probably more for the peanut gallery who can't comprehend non-violent punishments
I'm not, I'm defending myself against people making up details in the situation and acting like I'm doing it to my kid.
But this conversation has more than ran it's course, so I'm done with this thread. Good day.
