1: 100%, time to break those cycles.
2: That was something I had to spend ages wrapping my head around, it’s obvious how people are just fully wired differently based on that.
3: also wear deodorant, even if you think you don’t need it, you do

It shocks me how many people forget that you can correct or discipline a child WITHOUT being mean, violent, or otherwise abusive about it.

[gutterpunk]

That first one is entirely right and im tired of people acting like it's not

[ella_cupcake]

I’m glad that I’ve never taken my family’s support for granted. I got a wake up call when I was just a kid and slowly started realizing one of my friends had a terrifyingly abusive and neglectful family. They didn’t want to admit how bad it was but I saw how badly it affected them and how lonely they were

[RustyNoodleSoup]

i just wanna say that the same person who hit me as a child told me recently that i will probably be abused by a guy in the future like what???

[redmoonrise]

2nd one is very true. Lots of people just assume that your parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc visited you regularly and gave you lots of support. Meanwhile my dad stopped feeding me as a child because i asked him to make a different meal one time, and i dont have any of my familys phone numbers except my parents and siblings. Nobody ever visited me or got to know me.

I come from a very supportive family, it took me a while to learn that others don’t. Fortunately I learned early, and I can act as support for a lot of my friends who lack it

[matisonbb]

I'm actually tired of the narrative of "I don't abuse my children because I don't want them to let a partner abuse them" it's reductive, this is not about partners, this is a bout the kid. It should be "I don't abuse my children because I know that it's going to scar them for life and and make stablishing any kind of relationship to anyone more difficult wether or not they get a partner"

[MilqueeWayGaming]

I dont like that first one- NOT because I support hitting or yelling at kids but because children have feelings NOW. Children feel pain NOW. Why does it only matter if their partner hits/yells at them?
I dont know how exactly to put it into words but your child is a human right now. You should of course be thinking of how your current actions will affect them in the future, but its not like children are just the beta test before they becone grown adults. They deserve respect as people currently.

For the second one, that was a wild realization for me. Once i was talking to my friend, and i mentioned that my mom had bought something for me. And she said that "oh damn, did she make you feel bad about spending money on you?" And i said no, but she genuinely could not comprehend that my mom would do something nice for me and not expect something in return. Its genuinely wild, and has made me really hate her mom, cause my friend does not deserve that

[Samuel-kuqb]

Ever since I was a kid I’ve been obsessed with family, whenever we did have people over my autistic side would get overwhelmed and I’d have to leave, yet I couldn’t help but want family.
Today I know that I was isolated from most of my family and that left a scar where I don’t understand how someone can have a full family.

[Minimissmaimai]

My mom has decided that she’s everyone’s mom basically. I work at an educational after school where she also works and she cares and supports all 250 scholars we have ❤

[marynoble]

The first one is correct. My parents hit and insulted me bc they "Loved me" they'd critique and dismiss things (like my suicide attempts, my bulimia, etc) so when my first bf beat me half to death and sa'd me because I was "acting crazy" I thought

"Well, I want him to be my husband and this is what love looks like"

[gardnerhill]

In Laura Ingalls Wilder's book FARMER BOY, Almanzo's father understood 100% that hitting or even shouting at animals you were training made them sullen and bad-tempered. But he had no problem whipping his kids or threatening them with the worst whipping of their lives. He literally treated his livestock better than his children.

[rxsepxtal]

2nd one is so true, my friend has a really great relationship w her parents and cant imagine lying to them or not telling them anything while my dad isnt very present and neither of my parents know how to handle my emotions and are basically just my roommates

[TheDaisymaker]

Second one hit WAY too close to home. I thank the person who said it so clearly. Especially in childhood, it is detrimental and traumatizing just being left alone for long periods of time. It hurts, it really does.

[sweettea]

Had a teacher in school who would bring in food for her students (who she called her kids) for first period, so that while you were listening to her teach you could snack on a granola bar or sip on orange juice. It was just a nice favour to do for her kids, even if it was coming out her own pockets.

[averagetomfoolery]

thing is, i do understand what that’s like because my parents weren’t always like that. i was ill as a child and no one believed me, the symptoms of my autoimmune disease started at 10, and neither my parents nor the doctors listened until i was 17, after irreversible damage had been done to my joints and skeletal structure. my brother always came first, any issue i had (like my symptoms) was me lying for attention. as an adult, i still can’t trust myself when it comes to my health, it takes me getting to the point i nearly pass out to notice somethings off sometimes, or my friends telling me i need to seek medical attention because i’ll dismiss my symptoms as just me exaggerating.

they’re great nowadays, and i don’t just mean they’ve stopped ignoring or dismissing me, they put in effort to change and learn about my conditions and how to help me, they do everything right and i’m so incredibly lucky to have the family i do because i wouldn’t have been able to return to school or probably be alive today if they hadn’t changed. but i haven’t always had that support system, i had to LITERALLY beg on my knees, crying, for my mother to even consider booking an appointment. i had to learn how to be a person on my own because they wouldn’t teach me, i had to hold my own hand throughout my childhood and i couldn’t rely on them for support because they just wouldn’t care. there is so much about me that i still don’t let them in on because i struggle to trust them. it’s hard, and learning that i do have a safety net to fall back on, that asking for help isn’t a losing battle, has been difficult. i still constantly feel like the rug is gonna get pulled out from under me.

i know my parents may not seem very nice from this comment alone, but they are. i am safe with them now, safer than most of my friends. i have support that is more than just a roof over my head, but i haven’t always had that. they were, at times, borderline abusive (there are certain things i haven’t mentioned). i know how lucky i am that they’ve changed and that i have a support system to rely on, they’re so loving and kind, and i’m lucky that the mistreatment i did face was nothing malicious. it wasn’t that they hated me, it was that they were doing all they could for my brother and forgot about me, and couldn’t accept that there was more to me and who i was than what they saw because then they’d have to face that they truly hadn’t done enough, and that is a difficult thing for a parent to do. i hope that someday, they will admit that to me. the lack of an apology is, to me, an elephant in the room. there are many conversations to be had that i need to wait until i recover more to be able to have.

[carmelpancake]

As a past child, I agree with the first one whole heartedly. I don’t know why people act like discipline can only be done in two ways. Either harshly abuse a fresh human being, by screaming, hitting and degrading them. Or babying them till they become incredibly spoiled. If you honestly think that you MUST hit a kid to make them understand you, you’re not very great at communication.

I’ve met several children as of recent raised by gentle parents. And they were all polite, they shared and were very understandable. If you can only find people who do gentle parenting wrong. Then find new friends.

[divinationis]

the first one is so true. you want your kids to respect you, not to fear you.
