That's not the lesson. The lesson is that words have consequences. I wouldn't do this myself, but I don't hate it.

Allowing your child to learn that words mean things and that actions have consequences is hardly medieval parenting. You saw one brief moment in this families life: you have no idea how the day went. Perhaps one sibling had been needling all day and mom was fed up.

Of course not. I also mind my business and don't gaf what others do.

Sounds like they are from a culture that condones this. Some cultures do.

I mean it’s what could happen if they say it to a kid who isn’t there sibling so I get the mothers point.
You call someone ugly and they can punch you. They could attack you worse than that in today’s world.
This is natural consequences in action.

No way. That’s horrible. Being mean verbally is one thing but getting physical is another step.

What do you think?
