...It's a fucking wonder that I've been able to control myself so long. My grandparents are still going, and I haven't punched or hit either of them.
Amusingly, I have tremendous self-control.
I regret that sometimes.
I believe that any parents that spank their child after they've reached the age where they know how to control themselves are monsters. Yes, when you're four and you cut all your little sisters hair off, a good spanking is due. But if your parents are upset when you're say...9 or so, and you haven't done anything and they decide to spank you til you cry.
Now that's fucking wrong.
And don't even get me started on hitting.
If I ever, EVER see a parent hit their child, I want to puke. Yes, there are some kids that deserve to be hit, but VERY few. Only the genuinely bad kids that have NO respect for their parents, and don't even try to reason with them seem to need to be hit, even then, they really shouldn't. They should be properly disciplined, or shipped off to military school.
But there's stuff worse than physical abuse, even. At least in my opinion.
If you spend all your time taking all your anger out on your child, and cuss and swear at them about how much they suck, and how little they do, and how they'll never amount to anything.
Well hell, you might as well fucking smash your kid on the head until they're mentally retarded.
Do these fucktards realize how much shit like that lowers their childs self-esteem? And if the kid is already mentally unstable or weak, you're just going to put them in an early grave, or give them the worst life possible.
Parents? You who claim to bitch and sass at kids so they do better is for their own good, and then your kids succeed in their future? That's not your doing in all cases. Sure. But a kid you've mentally battered isn't going to necessarily succeed because you 'egged them on' in a negative manner. There's a good chance they did it to get the fuck away from your crazy ass. So stop going 'I always knew you could do it!' and start acting like you're good parents after your children have succeeded. Cuz you know what? You're lucky you had a strong kid. They should've been in a mental ward the way you treated them. Though I'm wondering why the hell you aren't there yourself.
And, when a kid reaches a mentality where they're mature and understand how things work, and authority. They're apt to challenge it. And what kind of person does it make you if you reject all their ideas and tell them they're just a kid, and they're wrong, and you're right, just because you like having supreme power over your kid. What are you teaching them by doing something so stupid?
All you're doing is denying your child the right to have a say in things, especially when they need to know that they have the right to, and that they shouldn't let people walk all over them when they go into the real world. And by the time a kid is mature enough to be like that, they're almost ready to be in the real world. If you're teaching them that as a kid, they have to listen to all adults, you might as well tell them, 'hey, if a teacher tells you do something, but you think it's wrong, do it anyway' or, boss, or other high figure, etc.
And what's up with never believing a thing we say? If you rant and rave about how 'Ohhhh, you don't love us!' Eventually, no, we're not going to love you anymore. You're going to be that horrible parent that has no children that visit them in the future. We're all going to avoid you. So stop fucking assuming without asking our opinion. Oh wait, you can't do that either, because even then, you won't believe an opinion. We're just kids, nothing we say is backed up by intellect, absolutely nothing.
I'm going to roll into the real world hating any and all authority, and biting peoples heads off when they say one wrong thing to me. I just know it.
Except not.
Because I'm not like them.
I know how to control myself.
