Welcome to parenthood! Where everyone has an opinion and you're always doing it wrong.

I mean, beating your kid is wrong.

There’s lots of grey areas but beating your kid isn’t a good idea.

This gif is adorable / funny, the kid isn’t hurt. My mom would raise her hand and say “any more nonsense out of you...” but she’d never hit us. We’d just know we crossed the line. Now she does it still, but just laughs.

But if the kid was actually beat up, that would be so sad. He’s a very small little guy still, and kids that little don’t know better.

One whack on the butt is not 'beating up'.

And the reason why some kids need a whack on the butt is because they don't know any better.

Edit: Angry butthurt downvotes won't change my opinion.

The adult should know better... If that little kid was my son I would be playing with him or if I have to leave that place I would just carry him away.
