[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes me sad that people are really arguing for keeping a grandma from her grandkid. My mom is the most gentle and kind person ever, but grew up in a culture where giving swats was a thing (and where people who were swat as kids do grow up to be kind and productive members of society). My mom would swat us as kids (never hard) but just as a way of saying "no." I made it very clear that we don't do that today with kids in the US and she has never swat my dd, but sometimes older people need to learn these things, especially when they come from different cultures.

And yet, somehow your mom has learned this [i]without[/i] having to hit your child first. So it's not some sort of "coming of age in the USA" or some shit, clearly it's possible. Why are we giving violence a pass just because it's some old person? [/quote]

Calling swatting "violence" is exactly the kind of catastrophizing and extremist language that makes me sad on behalf of society today.[/quote]

+1000 Language is being weaponized. [/quote]
+1 the over reaction and hyper snowflakeness of younger people are creating a bunch of people with no resilience and being too sensitive. [/quote]
So you're ok with a teacher, librarian, police officer, fast food worker, crossing guard, etc "swatting" your kid? [/quote]
I'm ok with grandparents disciplining my kid. Not strangers or non family members.

Do you expect the teacher to parent your kids? Do you treat the like family.

You people have completely lost the plot. You think a grandparent is like a teacher or a fast food worker.  gtfo, and go seek therapy.[/quote]

+1. First time this has happened and grandmother apologized. Doubt it will happen again but there will be other reasons for OP to be mad at MIL. [/quote]
