[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The child was likely crying due to being put in bed instead of beig allowed to play as he wanted. That is fine, an appropriate reason for a 5 year old to feel upset, especially if mom doesn't normally enforce bedtime.

Bedtime routines should be consistent. If you read as then lights out, your child shouldn't get back up to play. Unless play is part of the bedtime routine, then you should have put him right back in bed. Also don't have both parents in the room at the same time. One parent does there thing and then the other parent goes in and does their thing. Two parents trying to do a bedtime routine together is too much.

And picking your child up and putting them in bed is not abuse. No idea what planet people who say it is live on. [/quote]

Again, picking someone up by their clothes is on a different level though. There's literally no reason to do that other than you're mad, and you want to show it. Not sure why some posters are having so much trouble grasping this. [/quote]

It really isn't. Go pick up your kid by their clothes sometime. They will probably think it is fun. There was a viral video recently of a dad carrying his kid by her jacket like a duffel bag. I am sure a few people screamed abuse like you are but most say that it was just in fun - even though - gasp - it was by her clothes.   We have no idea who he picked him up. His kid was being disobedient and defiant. Dad was annoyed, and let kid know and put him in bed. Good parenting. It isn't abuse to parent your child. [/quote]

In this case yeah it kind of is, no matter what funny video was on YouTube or whatever. I believe you may be confusing me with a different poster though, I have not "screamed" or mentioned abuse. My parents would have likely followed up the clothes picking up thing by hitting me repeatedly with an object,  :roll: that I feel comfortable calling abuse. Not this.[/quote]
