Humiliation is not discipline, it does not teach your children the difference between right and wrong. It does not give them the tools they need to stand up to authority, stand up for what is right or believe in themselves.
It simply teaches them not to cross you. It makes you and your whims ruler of their self worth...and leaves them unable to love or trust.
Humiliation, or the constant threat of it, is abuse. Period. Hate me if you want, but if you are proud of that, I am very sorry for your children.
I hate no one, and maybe you didn’t read my post, but only looked. I would not have made fun of them, but would have opened myself to the ridicule of their friends, which would have been behind my back, and whose opinions meant less than nothing to me. my ex-wife once told me my 14 year old daughter had “a right to a life of her own”. I told her she had the right to whatever life I let her have.
Keep your shirt on. Playfully doing things to intentionally embarrass your children in front of their friends is a time honored tradition of good fathers everywhere. I especially like it when my kid says "you have to understand: my dad is kind of wierd".
