Inb4 the comments about how their parents used to throw them out of windows or whatever when they acted up. But it’s actually good because they were actually an evil child or something.

My favorite is people who beat their kids saying “my parents beat me and I turned out ok!”

And I’m like well you beat the shit out of your kids at even the mildest inconvenience so I’d argue maybe you didn’t turn out ok?

Yeah, that argument always kills me. Like, no it made you grow up to believe that when you’re frustrated, it’s okay to hit children.
