[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never cussed at, threatened, hit or even yelled at my kids ever. I know many of you do and think nothing of it. I was the child who was treated that way by my mother. It was abuse. Try to think long term when interacting with your child. I have a very distant relationship with my mom and feel no guilt or regret. She was a terrible parent and, if you do these things to your kids, you are too.[/quote]

Your kid(s) are brats because you never say no and give into their every whim.  This is as bad as screaming.[/quote]

NP. Huh???  it is totally possible to set firm boundaries/limits etc without yelling, threatening, cursing or hitting one's kid.   Unlike the pp - I suspect at some point I may lose it and yell (kid is still very young) but [b]if I do that will not be a good parenting moment - just a human moment[/b]. [/quote]

Well that's the point, isn't it. Instead of acting like this mom at the park is probably abusing her kids, why not just admit we've all had a bad parenting moment? It happens to the best of us. This one was witnessed by OP.[/quote]
