I Want To Talk About Parenting

@bijouxbroussard Most soap is nontoxic. You shouldn't eat it but mainly because you'll feel sick.

@Qwerty14 Sick, because it’s toxic, not intended to be consumed. Most even have the warning that it is not to be consumed ! Are you going to nit-pick this to death, too ? 🙄

@bijouxbroussard Toxic means it will kill you. Soap won't kill you.

It's not a nitpick because it's true. Just Google "is soap toxic" and it will tell ya. If I were to nitpick I'd actually go the other way and say how technically all things are toxic in the right amounts haha

@Qwerty14 I looked up the definition and poisonous was the main one, but there were several others like sickening and noxious. Some [b]people[/b] are toxic, but they won’t necessarily kill one. 😒

@bijouxbroussard Yeah but the toxic/nontoxic label is about the deadliness of consuming it. Either way it doesn't have anything to do with the OP wanting to discipline her kids

@Qwerty14 Sorry, I don’t think a decent parent would put soap in their child’s mouth. That’s not what soap is for, and it’s why labels indicate as much. [b]That[/b] is the point.

@bijouxbroussard Meh it's a pretty harmless discipline. Considering the share volume of people condoning hitting their child it's kinda nice to see a more mild punishment being talked about.

@Qwerty14 You don’t have to hit them [b]or[/b] poison them.

@bijouxbroussard Again you aren't poisoning them. You have a higher chance poisoning them with your cooking than putting soap in their mouth haha

@bijouxbroussard Btw I genuinely don't care if people put soap in their mouths or not. This discussion has really just been discussing for the sake of it (just like the steroid one). Apologies if I've upset you. I'm trying to quit pointless convos
