STOP SCREAMING

By Anonymous - 30/12/2013 12:10 - Australia - Campbelltown

Today, my 4-year-old daughter figured out how to set a parental code lock on our television so we can't watch football because it scares her when we scream. She won't tell us no matter what we bribe her with. FML

Anybody suggesting that the 4-year-old girl get punished, I just have to say wow...no respect for a child's thoughts, needs or feelings. Punishing her would basically send the message "I do not care what you think, and you are obligated to put up with anything I do, no matter how much it frightens you."

Assuming you are in fact a parent I bet your child(ren) manipulate the shit out of you.

You don't punish her for having feelings. If the parents feel what she did was wrong, then they need to address that as a separate issue. There are a few issues going on here: 1. Op doesn't seem to be paying attention to their child's needs, if the girl is scared of the screaming Op should tone it down. Op needs to explain the world to their child, they don't come with instant understanding. If the child is afraid, address the issue, stop screaming, let the kid watch football with you or play football in the park. 2. If the child keeps doing things like that, then punishment is needed.

Discipline does not disregard the child's feelings. A child should not be allowed to think that they can control any aspect of a household, including what the parents watch. Yes the parents can calm down, or explain that they really like their sports. Undisciplined, disrespectful kids are a big part of what's wrong with this world these days. And IDK what world you think you live in, but children under 5 are way too underestimated. Much smarter than a lot of people think and way too mischievous. Please, do the world a favor and discipline bratty kids.

Tell her that your screaming is just half of her worst fears...wait until she meets "Mr. Belt"!

if it scares her when you yell then ******* respect her. she lives there too. power to her, she had a problem, figured out a good solution and she's sticking to her guns. yeah, it sucks but your kid sounds like a winner.

she's a human being with thoughts, emotions, and needs.. that apparently aren't being met. a child shouldn't be scared in her own home every time daddy decides to watch TV.

Today, you learned that you have no parental control over your 4-year old. What a great way at parenting I must say! Now go grow some and teach your child that you are the parent, NOT her!
