Good Parenting?

Don't know the extent of the bullying, but I'm going to guess he was making fun of the kid's loss of hair. So...



Great job, dad, and don't stop before it's shaved all the way off.
 
I am not a parent but I don't see anything wrong with doing things that are not physically/materially harmful to a child that make that child think of the consequences of their actions. IOW obviously no physical abuse at all and if it were true mental abuse I would not be in favor of it. I do not think this fits that definition.
Also that kid is a little bitch so obviously needs some mental toughness.

Don't spank your kids or use harsh discipline. Be their friends and let them grow up to be unruly sissies

Every kid needs an ass whooping when they earn it. My son took our Jeep for a joyride at 2am...he was 13. He deserved every bit of the ass whooping he received shortly there after!
 
I stopped spanking my kids when they were 3. I didn't stop the "conversations " about their responsibilities. "No games", "no phones" , "no iPads" or whatever was strictly adhered to.

One hates me and is struggling. And one loves me and is kicking ass. Go figure.
 
Shit parenting. The boy’s hair (and personal identity) belongs to him, not his dad. There are better ways to layout consequences than this. I’d be more understanding of corporal punishment than this.

Consequences for bad behavior??

I disagree ... His hair was a privilege, not a right. He lost the privilege. No different that parents limiting clothing styles, diet, how late you stay up, etc. "Personal Identity" is not an excuse for bad behavior, nor is it a shield against consequences.

Can choose consequences that don’t violate boundaries like this. Kids should be able to look how they want to look. Doing this violates his dignity and is humiliating. There are so many other punishments available. His hair doesn’t belong to his father.

And this is why we have antifa, crying weaklings on TikTok, and an entire failed generation.

Yes it does. His dignity belongs to his father. His understanding of the world belongs to his father. This entrance into the world cannot begin with a "no consequences " approach.

Assuming he bullied a kid with cancer about being bald, the Dad is fully within his rights to shave off his hair, IMO.

Sure, he’s within his rights. But is there a better way to teach your kids a lesson about bullying rather than shaving his head, humiliating him, and posting a video on TikTok for the world to see.

Maybe, but I think humiliation fits the crime of bullying a kid with cancer…

The kid won’t ever fuck with cancer kids ever again, right?

No he’ll just rechannel his rage, and insecurities that lead to this behavior, elsewhere. Probably wind up joining the MRGA crew.

Interesting….agree to disagree, but you have kids and I don’t…so…(shrugs)
