ronders_Where exactly did I say "preserve the innocence of your little angel"? Nice strawman. It's more about teaching and building respect. Anyway, I think there are ways to discipline your child other than hitting them. If they do something really bad that might threaten their life, while ignoring what you tell them, then sure. You can let your kid know you're the boss without hitting them though, "checking their ego" sounds like you just like the feeling of power over them. They will resent this and become worse behaved for sure.
Also chill the fuck out dude. You asked the question and now you're getting mad at all the responses. It's possible to have a conversation without calling someone a piece of shit
Youre telling me, very matter of factly i might add, things like “you just want to feel power over your kid bc you said you want to “check their ego” and your kids will then resent you and misbehave even worse”,
as if your a fucking professor of child psychology and i would raise a bunch of ted bundies— and youre telling me to “chill out”?
hey! Lets play a game!
i got smacked when i acted like a little shit when i was a kid, and i got in to princeton.
you never got smacked as a kid, so you mustve gone to some hypothetical college thats above princeton.
tell us the name of this college you went to ronders!
gosh i wish my parents didnt smack me for acting a brat. Then my iq would be 160 instead of 140. If only....
The reality is that unlike your family ronders and the family you will raise, some families have high enough iq parents that their kids have more iq points then they know what to do with, so these parents will sometimes sacrifice a couple iq points to keep their kid from growing up into a spoiled liberal piece of shit, because they have enough iq they can spare a couple points and still be in rarified air.
Kids are no more innocent than adults.
the youth innocence thing is pedaled by ethnicities that have cute kids that age into ugly adults.
its infected america and it is part of the reason so many loser americans act like the age of consent should be an absurdly high 18 yrs old.
in european countries where decent looking kids age into decent looking adults, the age of consent is much lower because the public isnt obsessed with the idea of stopping innocent adolescents from being preyed upon by evil old ppl.
but i digress.
Reality is more nuanced than just saying “all physical force is developmentally carcinogenic”
