never too young for a tap from granny! 😆😆😆
he probably been with Granny from day1🖤
I remember my grandma from Japan took me to bingo with her one night. I was bored out of my mind and moving around. she smacked my hand and did that yell whisper at me in Japanese. it didn't hurt and I don't even remember what she told me. but I did learn and never did it again. I would do anything to go back to that exact point in time.....
This new generation needs grandma's like her,big ma knew how to discipline kids unlike the new moms and grandmas
She didn’t hurt that baby , or he would have cried. She just got his attention .
💯😂😂😂 grandma from the old school she don’t have time for babies to be reaching and stuff 💯😂😂😂😂😂
y'all nuts the baby looks to be 4 or 5 months old. why is she hitting the baby
That part. Kids are not dumb. They know and understand 🥰
That’s right Grandma! Let them know early on, it’s not happening on your watch!❤️
That's a real Granny 😂.
Her voice was harder than the tap on his thigh. He wasn't hurt or even startled, but he did "be still." 😹
Great, make all of us miss our gram gram🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
real way geandma😆😆😆👍👍👍
My Grandma only had to woop my tail once. Wish she was here for mine 🥹💕
unfortunately these generation of grandmas don't even babysit, let alone try to discipline.. they are still out side
That is old fashion way! the little one gets the message!😅
the power grandmother's have
Man she barely tapped that baby. Love tap
“Make no damn sense”🤣🤣🤣🤣

Grandma taught that baby a lesson it'll never forget. The child may stray but it lives long enough, it'll come back to that teaching and understand. ❤🖤💚💛
See discipline start early they learn to listen how to act and follow direction no corners or time outs that’s what we got and it worked🥰
