What do you think about people who scream at and berate their children in public?

Asshole parents created and are raising asshole kids.
Vicious circle.

@elVato No. I don't have any kids.

SW-User
@Lexisvida Me too

it makes the parent look really bad when 1 the kids are misbehaving and 2 the parents hit and yell in public.
SW-User
Only hope their kids grow up to not follow in their footsteps.

It's sad. There are better ways.
SW-User
@Harmonium1923 Yes, there are. I work with very difficult adults with disabilities. There are MANY better ways.

the kid deserves it? only time ive seen it happened was in primary school where the kid was always a total a-hole too the teachers and the mom put some sense into him in front the whole school, second time was when a kid stole something from a store and ran out his mom brought him back & yelled at him there.

always hard to judge without context.

Before I had kids I always sided with the kids. Now as a parent, I'm much more understanding of the parents' side...they're tired, over-worked, under-slept. too many demands on them, not enough support

@Salix75 My harsh answer? Then don't breed.

It depends. Is this their parenting style, or did they lose it just one time? Anyone can lose it, and when they do, it's ugly for all

@Northwest There was a lady who just walked into the library and screamed at her three little kids at FULL volume for a half an hour. They couldn't do ANYTHING right.

@SW-User that's a shitty thing to do. I think as adults, we need to remain calm. Otherwise don't breed. I raised 5, between kids and step kids. I don't think I ever lost it.

I use to feel pity, but now I understand after having kids of my own sometimes the stress can be to much
SW-User
@metalicblack Would you berate them pubically?
metalicblack · 46-50, M
@SW-User I would not intentionally but I have had two occasions that I let them have it right where they stood but usually I will wait until we get home to correct them

Before parenthood I'd say they were trash. As the father of an almost 4y0, I totally get it. Not my style but I understand.

@SW-User Oh really? Berating a two year old in public is hilarious to you?
SW-User
@SW-User you asked what i thought of the people doing the screaming not how i felt about children being screamed at
SW-User
It makes me feel sad
