Yall are weird (child abuse)

The most recent poll you commented on I did not interpret in that way at all. I haven't seen the 3 other ones. But the one I'm talking about really seemed to be about knee-jerk reactions, not about being abusive and intentionally hurting your child. That's why I shared my story about having an automatic response to tapping my child's hand after they hurt me, which again isn't something I'm proud of but it's not uncommon and other moms should know they're not alone in that slip up- which is what I'm pretty sure OP was referring to. Again, not sure about the other 3 polls you're talking about, but this one didn't say anything about the child crying, being scared, or leaving marks.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’ve not seen these posts but I think if you’re having to ask if something is considered abuse, it probably is.

@FairyMother no one’s talking about that one Lmaooo a post said my child broke my tv and I hit him a left a mark now her child doesn’t want nothing to do with her and only wants dad I reported it and that was that other ones just brought back horrible memories and I feel for a lot of these kids

@Meaghan thank youuu because why come on here and ask things like that now I know you feel bad and you know you shouldn’t have done it

Ah okay, I wasn't sure since that one was recent and your comment on that one had the assumption that OP hit her child and was looking for justification or something along those lines. I didn't see the TV one but that makes more sense

@Jessica correct but I’m talking about those who come on here looking for justification for doing it it’s not hard to walk away and scream your frustration out idc what yalll say like I said in my post a child is fragile if I say go put your baby down and walk away that’s advice lmao and as far as seeing it keep scrolling I even put a sensitivity on my post

@FairyMother oh yeah no I kinda feel like she did hit her kid out of anger just bc one she’s hasn’t said anything about anything and two I feel like she realized she fucked up and the post will be deleted soon 💁🏻‍♀️

I deleted my comment when I realized you weren’t referring to the same post I was btw

@Jessica you didn’t have to I found nothing wrong with what you said

I HATE the term “pop” because it’s always said to try and soften what really happened, which is hitting a child. Makes me sick

I’d like to see these posts if anyone can link them.

Perhaps she’s asking because she doesn’t understand what abuse is and does believe it’s normal as the same thing happened to her. You said it triggered you because you suffered abuse and that’s great you recognize that and are able to put a stop to the cycle but others aren’t. As you said, walk away. Comment and tell the person that. Some people really don’t know what they are doing is abuse as they suffered the same and deem it normal that’s why they come here and ask. Cps and cas would say the same. Walk away and take a minute. Put this paragraph underneath her post if you find she truly is abusive rather than reporting it. And maybe she hasn’t replied because yes she’s thinking about what people are saying. Idk I haven’t seen the posts.

@B everyone knows hitting a child is a BIG FAT NO. Idc what anyone says we have the internet now you can easily see hitting children are against the rules and if you created that child wouldn’t your first thought be mmm I want no one to do no harm to my child say for a second the child comes home and says mom a teacher hit me 🚨child abuse and you’d be pissed correct like I said I don’t care how old you are where you came from everyone knows that you protect your creation

@B and there’s a post up there but not ones I’m talking about

@Kyra I’m responding to your own question of “why would you come on here and ask that”. I simply provided a response as to potentially why they would. Not everyone has common sense and what you just described is common sense. “Everyone knows” no not everyone unfortunately. Coming from a foster parent. You’d think they’d have that mentality but no not always and if they do they’re lashing out and need big help.

@B it wasn’t a question none of this was it was a rant like I said there is the internet you could simply look it up and if everyone doesn’t understand abuse then why ask other people like I said before you can argue with me idc 😂💁🏻‍♀️

@Kyra yeah I think you just want to argue. Not my intent. Hope you heal 💜

I see your notifications and message but they keep disappearing I guess I’m not in the wrong

@FairyMother oh yeah I seen that one but I interpreted that one the same as you x

Wow that’s crazy

I think people who hit their kids are lazy parents. Don’t care if that offends people. I am raising little humans who don’t understand how to cope with all of their big emotions and as their mother it’s my job to teach them appropriate ways of coping with their feelings. So hitting the child because I’m angry seems so counter productive ….if you have to use fear to parent your child then you need to really take a damn good look in the mirror and consider the type of relationship you want to have with your kids.

If you’re hitting your child out of frustration then you need to seek medical help (not you literally. Just in general) postpartum frustration/rage/depression etc. can play a big part of hitting your child and if anyone finds theirselves doing this they need to see someone. Not saying that this is what you’re talking about but, if a mother wants to come on here and talk about her experience with one of those situations then I wouldn’t judge her. They need to be educated in hopes that they find the help they need.

Not being funny but if you’re walking away leaving your child crying/screaming (because you’re overwhelmed) for whatever reason that’s just as much abuse as it is physically. They’re crying for a reason! , figure it out, redirect them, comfort them! Granted it’s difficult, frustrating and you just need a minute but there’s other ways than being physical or point blank ignoring them! I guess abuse can be considered subjective something you might do, others might think is abuse and you don’t and vice versa! Not seen any posts. Parenting can be difficult when pushed to the edge, it’s how you react that matters

@Marion agreed as long as I know my child is fed changed has toys in front of her I’ve held her I’ve done everything I can IM GOING TO WALK AWAY to rethink and reevaluate things leaving your child to cry is not abuse i don’t know where you heard that from but your incorrect DRS tell you to walk away

@Kyra I was referring to your original post. If a child is scared crying and you’re walking away from them then absolutely abuse! They’re scared, and want protected from whatever it is! Maybe I’ve interrupted it wrong and I’ve also not seen any posts so I’m solely replying to what you’ve said. I have walked away also when it because to much, like you if they’ve been fed, changed, comfort, toys, cartoon whatever and they’re just crying for the sake of crying then I’ll walk away for a few mins as I know when I go back if they haven’t already settled, they will be okay and cuddle me and settle down when I’m back but I wouldn’t leave them if they were scared crying or unconsolable crying for whatever reason even if I was going to explode from frustration I would just bit my tongue, scream in my head, count to 10 and cuddle them
