re: Woman punishes son publicly...

What?? Where can I find this video lol.

I think this is awesome! I also like the punishment (and I've actually seen, or heard rather, this one in action) the teenager had their cell phone taken away as punishment, so his parents changed the VM to say "sorry, (name) can't answer his phone. he's grounded for _________"

I guess they were more mad that he's school age and we do it. Lameness it'll stop when either are not comfortable

Dude, I'm watching it again. The disrespectful smurf she said on her FB... it's nauseating.

My little brother still kisses my mom on the lips and he will be 16 in may. I think it's because me and my two sisters still do it so it's not weird in our family, he did stop for a little bit at about 12/13 ish because it wasn't cool lol

Awe I hope my boy still kisses me when he is 16! I would be so happy even if its on the cheek!

you really think this one incident will haunt him forever?

and it's also funny that you advocated him addressing his classroom and making a public apology......it's the same idea. If you think he will be teased for the punishment he received, why would you think he wouldn't be teased for having to stand up in front of the class and make a public speech about his actions? That makes no logical sense.

and kids who kill their parents do so for a multitude of reasons, sometimes it's due to repeated physical/sexual abuse or severely harsh and repeated psychological/emotional abuse. If a child kills a parent because the parent implemented a punishment such as this ONE TIME, there are clearly other emotional or mental health issues going on with that child. Your statement just implied that if that child did turn around and kill his mother, she deserved it.  

Furthermore, say she gave him a "talking to" and made him write a letter......say that punishment doesn't work and then his behavior gradually worsens over time and then he gets kicked out of school and then has to deal with all that comes with being kicked out of school. Maybe he turns to crime as some kids do when the "red flags" aren't addressed appropriately by the parents when they're younger......then, due to his criminal activity, he goes to jail. Of course, I'm speculating and giving a hypothetical situation (although not far fetched)....would THAT not haunt him for the rest of his life?

Believe me, I can be a little hippie/crunchy (associating myself with the word "crunchy" makes me want to stab myself btw) when it comes to parenting my children....I don't/won't spank, I rarely raise my voice, I use positive reinforcement before EVER implementing punitive action, etc.....but I would lay down some HARSH punishment for disrespect at this level. My number 2 goal in raising my children, coming second only to their own happiness, is to ensure they treat their fellow human beings with kindness and respect. I feel that is my contribution to this world and my legacy....as cliche as it sounds, I truly believe that. Sometimes it takes a little tough love and KARMA to show a child that their actions are wrong and to guide them as they grow into young adults.

Man, I really didn't intend to write a novel.....I guess I can be a little passionate at times, lol

wow  

I still kiss my 13 year old son on the lips and will probably always do so.

I dont get people like that... Ive seen threads with parents thinking you cant kiss a kid of any sex on the lips past babyhood, but especially if they are of opposite sex. My nephew is going to be 14 and he still kisses the entire family on the lips, me included, and hes bigger than everyone but his dad! I asked Lily "Would you be mad if I kissed you and your friends said EWWWWW GROSS!" and she said "No, why would I be mad, its just a kiss!"

As for the topic at hand, good for the mom. Its not going to scar him... he didnt do anything THAT humiliating. Making him stand in his boxers, thats pushing the limits. Holding a sign... I bet he will think twice the next time he wants to disprespect an adult.

I would love to talk to this kid in 5, 10 years and see what he says about the punishment.

He's 12. He'll get over it. It's not like he's 4 and unable to completely grasp why his behavior is wrong.

A 12 year old is plenty old enough to face the consequences of his actions. I would rather my kid be humiliated for a while than to continue thinking it's okay to disrespect people like that.
