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

Then why are you defending it so hard?

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.
