The mother and little girl with car wash hose

[Guest guest]

Did anyone see the news coverage of the mother caught on a carwash

video spraying her daughter with the carwash hose? It was said the

spray was on low (as if that helps explain the behavior) but the mother

did it because the little three year old was have a tantrum. I had to

turn it off because it made me sick.

That coverage sent cold shivers down my spine. My mother(bpd)was so

cruel when it came to discipline, she would hit with the back of a hair

brush. She would use a fly swatter to discipline. When she hit, she

didn't care where she hit. It was like on the bottom... It was

anywhere. She would be so out of control with her anger. And, she would

pinch. One time, we were at my grandmother house and she had a willow

tree in the yard. And, she would cut a switch. She would threaten that

she had an endless supply. I was never so happy to leave grandma

house... how sad most child are happy to see grandma but not me.

I heard about it...and was horrified.

Granted, I'm not a parent. But people do pay me to

help them raise their children and to advise them on

various ways to handle various situations. I've dealt

with screaming, tantruming toddlers...and spraying

them down with a hose is NOT the way I calm them down.

I dunno. I tend to handle tantrums differently than

most people do, but my methods work for me and for the

children entrusted to my care. :-)
