Yeah, troll alert. Who showed her how to “shake her butt”? |
My initial, and almost universal, answer would be that it is cruel. However, your DD took the whole situation a major step further when she continued the naked booty dance while taunting the parents and saying she didn’t care about their punishment. I mean, that’s just begging for an upgrade punishment. She was pushing and testing a very specific limit. “I can keep doing what I want because your punishment isn’t severe enough for me to care!” In this specific situation, I think it was appropriate. |
I'd be more concerned about the 8 year old brother egging her on to do this. |
She sounds hilarious! I hope you took video! Probably a future Amy Schumer! |
My 7 year old loves to do the booty dance. He is fully clothed but he loves the booty dance. If yu don’t think that older brother has not done the booty dance, you are crazy. 7 YO also knows Sir Mixalot and likes to blast, and I do mean blast, Sir Mixalot. We have had conversations regarding the booty dance and Sir Mixalot, all while I am trying not to laugh my ass off as my 7 YO has no clue what is actually being said while gyrating his butt. I can fully see a younger sibling taking it one step further. |
OP is now the starter of another thread in the infant section. She’s either a troll or has a seriously messed up DD. OP, get help for your daughter. |
And for herself. This is exactly how mental illness gets perpetrated onto the next generation. |
Punishment parenting is so benighted. The meltdown could have been avoided if you didn’t rise to her bait. Just tell her calmly you know she is better than that and you expect her to put her pants back on. However long it takes, wait it out then reward her when she finally does. She learned nothing from your punishment. |
I always told dc I would never take away comfort object, no matter what. I thin it is cruel. But I did throw away other toys as punishment in outside trash can with dirty stuff on top.
So I support the type of punishment but not that 1 comfort object. |
No no no!wring wrong wrong. |
