Lately, I've been seeing photos of children holding signs of bad things they did, and it makes me FURIOUS. If the entire world is going to watch and criticize your parenting, and if your child is so bad you need the world's approval for punishing her, then parenting is not for you. If you can't confront your own kid and solve your problems in the privacy of your own home and instead turn to the internet to confront your kid for you, then you shouldn't be a parent in the first place. Maybe the kids should hold up signs saying how much their parents screwed up raising them. Would that teach the parents to be better parents? No. It would be humiliating and traumatizing. So why do that to kids when instead they need to learn how to deal with problems logically by confronting them face-to-face. I feel very disgusted by this.
Thanks for this!
