Being a parent is hard. Many people are trying to find a balance between disciplining their children and having a fun childhood.
We don't usually judge people by their parenting skills, but one woman revealed that her stepchildren were so misbehaved that they were hitting strangers and pooping in public parks. I made it.
Shockingly, concerned relatives insist this is not the worst of the bad.
riding on mini After breaking up with her family, she was so unimpressed with her family's discipline that she had to complain on Mumsnet.
She recalled how her two-year-old and five-year-old behaved during the trip, and even revealed that they influenced strangers in a lengthy post.
Like many families, they don't get to spend much quality time together, but users revealed that their in-laws have never disciplined their children.
In the now-viral post, she wrote: [me and my husband] I noticed that they never seemed to discipline their children or say no. This is clearly a conscious choice they made together.
“I know that the 'gentle parenting' style is a bit more of a modern choice, but to me a complete lack of boundaries is very visible and harmful to us and everyone around us.” It had a big impact.”
In addition to the typical tantrums, the children would even lash out in the presence of their families in public places such as restaurants.
To make matters worse, Mumsnet users said their parents seemed “unaware” and there were at least one or two “incidents” a day. (Yes, you read that correctly)
These included a two-year-old peeing in a communal pool, pooping in public and punching people who passed by.
According to the original post, the father even comforted the baby when she got sick after being scolded by a tourist.
Meanwhile, the five-year-old continued to pretend to cry and scream in a high-pitched voice while the family was at the restaurant.
Naturally, this messed up holiday For a Mumsnet user and her husband.
Then she asked: She added, “We didn't have children, so we're very aware that we might not 'get it.'” [but] Do you say something or do you just hold out until the kids are a little older and everything is a little easier? ”
Needless to say, there were several opinions on this issue on the internet.
One person claimed that the parents didn't understand how that parenting strategy worked, writing: They seem to mistake gentle parenting for inappropriate parenting! ”
Another agreed, adding: “No, this is not normal or acceptable, and it is not 'gentle parenting.' It is lazy, indifferent parenting.
“I don't think you should say anything in terms of telling them how to raise their children, because they know that's not acceptable.
“Just because you say that doesn’t mean they suddenly become smarter.”
Meanwhile, a third user suggested that users be honest with their relatives.
they write: “Good job, you don't live nearby and you declined my invitation to go with you again. If you ask me why, please answer honestly.''
We wonder how we would have handled this situation.
