So being a parent who disaplines is wayyy different than being a parent who abuses their power as a parent im 19 and my dad has completely control over me mentally and financially because he was just like this he held things over my head diminishing my self worth would compare me to others and mentally physically and emotionally abuse me and still does it to this day and i cant do anything about it because “im the parent your the kid” “what i say and do is right”. “You need to respect me while i disrespect you”

we went to church on Sunday and back in our day if we missed behaved or did something that wasn't correct you got a spanking and you damn well thought twice about doing it again it's time to bring that back.

Finally, someone with some sense. I like what she said there are consequences for your actions. If more parents were like this, the children would be a lot better behaved, and polite and respectful.

Raised my 4 boys the same. Hard work but it pays off. If you gentle parent you do your kid no justice and it teaches dependency and manipulation with over the top emotions. If you don't want a miserable life discipline your children! This teaches them to survive on their own and integrate well in society . Face the fact you are not here forever. They do come around as adults with the utmost respect and admiration towards you as the parent. A couple of mine have even thanked me because they see what's out there. Was I perfect? Nope, I could have changed a few things but overall I'm very proud of all 4.

I agree with her 100%..she has the same parenting skills that I have.. Gentle parenting gets you cussed out and beat up by your kids..when your children know that there is consequences for their actions they tend to think twice before they do things

I was raised in a "My house-My rules" home, knew the rules by heart before I was 3. Never once doubted I was loved. Never saw or heard my parents argue or fight. I'm now 75.

I was never my children's friend as I was raising them. I am notbur friend until I stop paying their bills. I have amazing young adult children who are raising very well mannered grandchildren. I did good.

This is 100% parenting. It’s not a form of parent, it’s the correct way to parent. It’s ridiculous to send you r child into the world for everyone else to deal with without any parenting at home. Parents need to be parents, stop making the problem worse

That's exactly the way it was for me growing up. My parents could care less if I was mad at them. I did what they told me to do period. Once I reached a certain age I had to contribute to the family for the bills. It's called reality.

I'm Gen X and that's how I was raised and I raised my children the same and that's part of the problem parents try to be friends with their children the other is you have babies raising babies so the parents are growing up with their kids

No, I did opposite of that. I was friends with my kids. I love my kids. I enjoyed my kids, but yes, I had a firm hand if they got out of line they got corrected. My boy grew up. My daughter grew up big enough where I didn't have to spank him. All I had to say is you know right and wrong And I just laid the law down and told him to get it done if they didn't do it then there was consequences sometimes they lost their own privilege. Sometimes they lost their Xbox privilege if they didn't get things done that they needed to get done.
