The other kid with me is my nephew. He is almost 6 and has had a very rough life. He is very very very behaviorally challenged . Like I wonder if there will be a day that he offs us. It’s doubtful whoopings are the thing for him although idk. It’s like trying gentle ways only get so far . ?? Everyone accommodates but he’s going to be an adult wondering why that stopped so idk
Yeah, it takes work to keep a child on a good path, but it's so much easier than getting someone on a good path after they've had a tough start.

Especially when you are dealing with preteens/teens
100%. I've always believed that people turn to violence because they can't resolve the issue with their minds. No doubt, a lot of people were raised rough. Their parents "really whooped their asses" for misbehavior. They figure because they survived it must be the right way. Is it the best way? There is a lot that goes on that is counterproductive.

As a kid, never really got into trouble but I had a hard time is school. OMG she would scream and raise hell, ask me the same question where there was no right answer. How could I do this to her. it was all about her. If I got a decent grade, just no punishment, but even then I could have done better. Whenever report cards came out, I was usually in trouble. She would just come in my room screaming at me like I hurt her or something. When they tested me and I tested high, that made it worse, now she would say I did it on purpose just to hurt her. Forget actually trying to help me do better, just scream at me. Didn't matter what I learned or knew, all that mattered was the apporval of the school system. Made me legit hate, hate, hate school. I love to learn, hate school.

Obviously, you shouldn't try to be your kids "best friend" because that's not what they need. They need a parent, someone to guide them in the right direction, so they make something of themselves in life, which means being strict when needed, making sure they have rules, boundaries, etc, and being understanding and loving when needed. It's not black and white, being a "prison guard" is good way to screw them up, just like being their "best friend" will.
Basically this.

Women don’t have the emotional authority to whip a kid when a woman hits a kid it’s always angry, personal, and abusive. the kid will notice this and not respect his mom as he shouldn’t. When a good father whips his kid it’s not personal it’s just business. That’s the way it should be you’re not beating them for you, you’re doing it for them.

But women can’t understand stuff like that that’s why most kids from single mother households turn out to be little shits.

Raising them tough doesn't mean being abusive or mean.

When he says stand up for yourself he means beat a 90 year old man to death because he said something that reminded you of the N word.
