Soon to be followed by a good hard ass whopping. Kids need to get knocked around now and then to remind them they are not in charge. Only took a few times for my son to figure that shit out. Guess I’m lucky he never turned me into child services. Deep down he knew he was wrong I’m sure.
They are playing a card game (look at the pitchers, and other filled cups, and cards on the table). Looks like the boy just lost a round, might be a fun game to play in the summer time, especially with a chance to throw a cup of water in your beloved mother's face...
Good that you pointed it out, hes also soaked and it probably isn't his first loss. Plenty of cups lined up as well and not a lot of people so it clearly is a game.
on the punishment note...
If this is a punishment, it is how you destroy any happy go lucky psychology kids might still have and replace it with hatred, distrust, and animosity. Might makes right only applies to God Almighty, not men, and teaching kids to assault and batter people when they say something rude or snarky is setting them up for legal problems later in life. Long gone are the days when you could just pop someone for being an ass without getting dragged through court or catch charges.
Anyone who uses this as a way to punish their kid(s) probably doesn't understand the psychological impacts of various punishments, nor the damage it it does to relationships. Want your kid to have a lifetime of trust issues? This is how you do it.
There are other ways to punish kids without being abusive. Taking away all of their USB and charging cords is a good start, they will use their devices less and less while watching in horror as the battery runs out and find non-gadget things to do on their own accord. Caught with a spare cable and the breaker gets flipped. The biggest thing of all... punishment without correction will also yield poor results.
I was 12 years old. My mom was trying to get all of us kids into the station wagon to go somewhere. (I have 2 brothers and 4 sisters.) Anyway, I was being my usual little shit self and managed to get on my mom's last nerve. Without warning, she grabbed me by the back of my coat collar with one hand, and with the other, she reached down and scooped up a handful of slushy snow. She then proceeded to shove that snow right into my face. Then she looked me straight in the eye and said: "Get in the damn car!"
You know what I did next?
Your darn right, I got in that car!
My mom and I both laugh about it now, 55 years later. I certainly didn't laugh about it on that day.
The kid's shirt is wet so I don't think anything bad is going on, maybe, unless the kid is a serial cusser. She is not smiling. Treat your kids right, if not, I hope they kill your worthless ass if you are abusive. I have some cauliflower scarring on my left ear because my dad was right handed, when I was 12-13 my dentist couldn't get a needle into the skin between my cheek and teeth on either side to numb pain because of thick scar tissue. Undressing for gym was always embarrassing because of deep bruise's running down my side and back. It turns you into a terror for other kids in school because you are so pissed plus it is a age where you cannot tell anybody because they will laugh. You end up carrying a massive load of rage into old age that never goes away, it has been so much work to hide and contain it.
WTF, bitch?!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a case of someone rudely mouthing off. Should happen more often
ReplyDeleteMaybe...awful scowl on the old witch's face though.

ReplyDeleteYep, the kid may have deserved it.
ReplyDeleteWasn't close enough for a back hand or a good round house slap

No, I think the kid said something about watching MILF porn and making a pass. Some women just don't have a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of that time...

I'm a retired teacher.
ReplyDeleteIt may not be right, but I know how she got there.
