Look, my point is that this guy is being abusive, not disciplining. This is a 10 year old. You don't ignore his behavior, nor fallback on ADHD as an excuse. There is discipline and there is discipline.
Look, your point is wrong. Period.
I would have traded running a mile every morning, at the age of 10 -- to the abuse I suffered. Physical (I have scars), Mental and Psychological.
In most cultures and throughout history 10 year olds worked full time at hard labor to help feed their families.
Telling a kid he has to run to school is not abuse it is discipline. Kids today are not disciplined. It not only teaches the kid right from wrong, it builds him up physically and morally.
When I was 11 my coach used to punish us for minor infractions, like being 1 minute late to gym class or practice by making us run laps. I suppose he should have been arrested.
And you, as usual, are dead wrong on this issue.
I am genuinely asking, what about this was abusive? I have scars, too, physical, emotional, and otherwise. Stupid things from time to time remind me of the dark days.
I do not consider what this guy did as abusive. I’m wondering what you think was.
The Ellen Show called and want to book you as a parenting expert. Nough said. Btw, you paid way too much for your house and your neighbors are also a bunch of pansies.
