Then complain to you like her child wasn't doing anything wrong, but what annoys me more is that she uses the fact that she's black in an argument to make it look like her son and her are the victims. Get over the whole race thing! Dammit! What sickens me more is she's allowing her son to grow up to be one of those stereo typical images of African-Americans seen on TV. I don't think the child in this case is the only one who needs an ass whooping, someone should give the mother one too. I also really hate parents who spoils their child and never tell them they are wrong, then the child goes bad and they blame the child's friend for being a bad influence.
You have to be careful with whoopings.
When I was a kid, I was hit, but just for discipline. Sometimes I can understand that. Just a smack or two.
But then once I became a teenager, it became much more abusive, where I would get pushed into closets while being punched, slapped repeatedly in the face, and the final straw, nearly being choked.
Parents need to be careful with the discipline, and make sure there's a clear, definite line between that and abuse.
It clearly affects the child. It can make them violent themselves.
That's why if I become a parent, I'm going to do my best to never hit mine, because I'm scared I might end up like my mother.
I'm not saying a smack isn't a bad thing, but it's something I probably wouldn't be able to control.
