He needs a SPANKING. HE IS A BRAT.
I would have hit him just like he hit me(not as hard) and then taken him to the back yard so he could watch what happened to the plane. It would have stayed in the back yard for at least a year.
Nah he needs a whooping for hitting that baby
u could of spanked him and told him to play over somewhere else and not be a jerk by throwing his toy
how TF is the baby not reacting bro, literally got hit with a plane 2 times, 😭
Reminds me of when ur child starts that hair pulling phase and you say ow and stop cause it hurts and they don’t listen so gotta pull their little hairs and it makes me so so sad and feel bad but it’s like yeahhhh that hurttts don’t it! And my nephew stopped that so fast😭
Like a boss
That’s still gentle parenting
He's envious of the new baby, that's why he's acting like that.
sorry sir but that would and should be handled by a qualified parent.. that didn't teach that child anything
yup just like that!
at least time in the corner..
I have littered the highways of MD with many, many toys-usually 7” Spider-Man or Batman etc…action figures in the early 90’s. I’d say it twice….”stop hitting your brother with that or it’s going out the window…..” Third time…….CHUCK!! There it went, somewhere alone Rt. 97.
That’s not teaching him sh
consequences need to be had,follow thru is extremely important. He said one more time I'm throwing it over the fence, if you say it, mean it,and back it up and follow thru, it's the only way kids will take you seriously.
I had a child who bit... he was told not to do it, after telling him he failed to listen, next time he did it he was smacked, didnt work. The final time, I bit him!!!.....he never bit anyone again 🤔 sometimes you just gotta go old school on thay azz. Ewww the dieases....
poor baby I definitely wouldn't trust big brother around him EVER
He’s going to end up killing our baby on accident.. throwing his toy over the fence will not solve the throwing problem
Oh hell naw you throw that plane and then you put them in timeout or pop his butt because he just hit the baby with it like that’s not OK. You need to teach him. You’re still gentle parenting him just cause you throw the toy over the fence does not mean you’re still not gentle parenting 😭😂
Yeah! I can get behind this! LOL he had a warning and he did it again on purpose!
Yeah that’ll do it! Lol Just hope he figures out his infraction! 😆
So naughty… you have to keep an eye on him since there’s a baby.
ida busted his butt. then threw away the plane😂
Good job Dad!!
w dad ❤️🙌
BTA
That kid doesn't care about the toy airplane. There was no reaction when it was taken away. He wants his dad's attention and he'll keep acting out until his dad recognizes that and acts accordingly.
Noticed that the little boy flinched because he thought dad was gonna punch him?
A small smack right back and then stomp that toy to smithereens.
The neighbors : where all theses toys keep coming from?🤷♀️🤣🤣🤣
two children one kid gets hit in the head for no reason never gets apologized too is incapable of saying if it hurts or not. the other knowing hitting him is bad and choosing to do it anyway because he's unaware of the consequences and curious. bonk that little dude and let him know what it costs.
I would take the toy away for a bit then see what happens. my son had many toys taken bcuz he loved to hit his dad or sister. months later I took them out again.
Spare the rod you spoil the child He needs a whipping
Already showing jealousy at a young age.
Wanting attention, well, he got it.👍
Good job Dad!!!💕
good job
Great job Dad! Follow through is the best parenting tool!
that's nothing but also luckily it wasn't what I had to deal with because that poor baby. but my niece used to throw her fisher price plane at people and this thing was huge, she hit me in the head one day while I was sleeping and of course woke me up but I didn't flinch, I just laid there because I was fed up with that thing. I heard her wind up and go to swing so I struck, lol, I grabbed the plane mid air, looked her dead in the face and said do that again and this thing is garbage, she ran so fast from that room crying with my sister telling her I told you not to do that lol, but she never swung that thing down on any of us again! shes 20 now and I love her to death but her terrible twos were omg 🤣
Yep. He followed through that’s a good Parent. Say it 2 times that’s the warnings, 3rd time im serious.
omg! just the first time, in a ¼ of a second, I would've face planted from the smack I'd never seen coming...omg 😲 But as a real young toddler, i do remember my mom saying. Do not hit. Do not do boo boos. Stuff like that. As i got older, if you dont have anything nice to say, hush up. Yea 😲
I did the same thing to my God daughter she didn't listened so her mother opened up the front door and I threw her baby doll outside now that she grown I need to ask her do she remember that lmao
He watches this kid throw the airplane onto the baby are we fr?
I think he's trying to make it fly. After all, it is a plane.
That plane flew to the neighbors yard! Good job dad! 👍
Bye bye planeeeee
😳😳😳
Awww man I was hoping to see the screaming fit afterwards :/
That second part wasn't that negative
Sadly you know the baby has been hit with that or other shit before...why you might ask...we'll bc he ddnt let our a scream which normally babies do
This isn’t just “gentle parenting” This is a different kind. If you hit your kids there gonna grow up wise, I talk from experience
Gentle parenting≠permissive parenting 🤦 learn the difference folks
😂😂😂😂
