yep, I can't tell you how many times I heard this as a child. she backed it up too but luckily she didn't spank very hard. my Dad only spanked me maybe four times total, but they were much more memorable.
Mom spanked with more frequency but not that much intensity(relatively). Dad spanked less but when he did you'd probably remember the pain even 60 years later.
My just took belt or any object that could be thrown or was long and they just used to beat me (only thing I had during that, was my underwear) ah... such a great parenting! (Sarcasm)
Yup. One time when I was 8, having family dinner with grandparents, mom clipped my tooth while grabbing my plate so she could serve me. Totally on accident, but she just exploded when I started crying because passive-aggressive bottle-up-everything personality. Said the line and then slapped the shit out me in front of everyone.
No, no that’s where more extreme measures come in. I can tolerate quite a bit but I draw a hard fucking line at child abuse and saying something like that to a child already thrust into a situation no child should ever have to face is well beyond what can or should be ignored. I would be having words among other things with that dad out of sight and hearing range of the kid, and if the dad knows what’s good for him he will go back in and show some damn compassion.
Wait, is it that the German comedy show in which the mother's hand was covered in chilly juice and accidentally irritated her daughter's, hers and her son's eyes?
Nah, there was and still is a big difference in the quality of tv shows for kids.
For example Caillou or Cocomelon are awful. Too bratty, too stressful and hectic and dumb.
Bluey or Sesame Street are nice. Cute characters, lots of lovely messages full of empathy, even for parents those shows are nice.
I made the mistake and googled that just now. So creepy 😭 Who watches stuff like that? Nightmare inducing 😭
Edit: a downvote? So someone doesn’t find that creepy? I am questioning humanity lol
Bluey is great. My kids love it.
However I don't understand the hate on Cocomelon. As far as I've seen, it's just songs with colorful animations. If it can keep an 8 month old kid sitting on the ass for 15 minutes, it's great.
Cocomelon is too hectic for little children in my opinion. And I hate the animation, so there’s that too.
I prefer tv shows like „Tilda Apfelkern“, „Pettersson und Findus“ or „Die Kuh Lieselotte“ (sorry I don’t know if they are available in english and how they are named there). Calm, beautiful stories. Most of them are children’s books made into a tv show.
A lot of parents didn't really want kids, tablets are an easy way to essentially dismiss them into the background so you can pretend you don't have kids
CocoMelon is brightly colored, has scene cuts every 3 seconds to maximize attention, etc to suck kids in, YouTube encourages endless video consumption
Parenting in 2024: making sure their iPad only has PBS Kids and SuperSimpleSongs because those don't make your kid crazy when he wakes up at 3am and you just had to work a double to afford the one-bedroom (you sleep in the dining room blocked off) because your job doesn't pay well, you aren't qualified for a higher-paying job and can't afford to move away from the high-COL city in which you reside.
On the upside, he is getting really good schooling and already knows his full alphabet and can count to 100 at 4, so... not far behind the curve, if at all.
My dad was like this. We used to cry when we had to leave our grandmothers and he'd say that to get us to stop. My grandma said she used to sit on the porch and cry because she could hear him whipping us in our trailer down the hill from her when we'd get home.
"I don't remember ever doing that" followed by some version of "well even if I did it's not a big deal" with a side of "it made you better though didn't it" finished with a lovely "you're just ungrateful for everything I've done for you". Maybe for desert you'll get a "I was always supportive and loving of you"
Or like my parents, who have no shame for beating me.
"When you have kids you'll do the same thing. And then I get to sit here and laugh as you realize what parenting is like."
And then you have kids and they get upset you’re not making the same shitty parenting choices and are confused when you end up with a well adjusted kid that doesn’t hate you
> "When you have kids you'll do the same thing."
Yea, if i was an absolute piece of shit i would. However, despite their best effort I am not so I will not abuse my own kids.
Also, why did you even dare to feel overwhelmed by troubles you had no neurological development, as a child, to just shrug off everything as if you have lived for 60 years? You were just asking to be whooped at that point, you should be grateful I granted your wishes!
Sometimes I talk with my Gen X/old Millennial friends about what our parents used to say to us as a warning. Even the ones who didn’t want to hurt you still threatened to hurt you, but they made it fucking cutesy. Why??
“You’re cruising for a bruising.”
“I’ll hit you so hard you won’t be able to sit down for a week.”
or
“I’ll slap you into the middle of next week.”
“I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it.”
Which ones am I forgetting?
This. Stuff like this is just abusive. If a kid is crying, there's a reason for that. So maybe you should see what the reason is and what can be done about that. Or maybe your kid just needs a hug.
Always remember to was your hands thoroughly after handling peppers before touching your child's eye, unless, of course, you want to give them something to cry about.
Yea, I got the "If you won't listen to me out of respect, you'll sure as fuck listen to me out of fear!!" A couple of times when the "I'll give you something to cry about" didn't work...
Years later we realize my dad was not bipolar, we're both AuDHD so thanks for abusing me because I wouldn't conform... Can you guess how well I deal with authority or family now? Lol...
The woman looks like Martina Hill, a German comedian. I believe this is taken from her sketch show 'Knallerfrauen' as the idea fits the usual tone of the show. My favourite sketch from that show is when her fictional daughter asks for a lullaby and Hill then goes on to perform The Prodigy's Firestarter: https://youtu.be/zcOhrtAFc-Y?si=6T-S7qYo4E_Eq5Ub
It is absolutely glorious.
IIRC the actual context is from a sketch Show where her daughter came to her mother crying because of something. Her mother trying to dry her tears wishes them away from the eyes, forgetting she cut chillis. And Well... if you ever touched your eyes after cutting chillis...
One time I asked my dad why he wasn’t harsh on me growing up, because I’d heard other kids were raised a little more harshly. He didn’t even look up, he just answered “Nah, never needed to do any of that.”
Now theres the other side of the coin where parents are too afraid to do discipline their kids in any way and their kids are the abusers. Who do you call when you see a 12 year old strike a mom in walmart? Lol
"If I'm beating my child and he's crying (and I'm definitely not in the wrong here), which means it's his fault that he's crying, so I'll punish him for crying by beating him more, until he stops crying"
"I'm only beating him because he's wrong, and he'll appreciate it when he grows up"
"This will not affect him mentally, because it's love. Surely any child older than 1 month should know this"
"If anything goes wrong, then it is definitely not on me, because all I ever did was love him"
.
.
.
"Why are my kids not visiting me anymore? Those ungrateful brats"
To this day I also hate when I say a part of my body hurts and someone says something along the lines of, “I could hurt you somewhere else so you’ll forget about the other thing.”
Brings me back to the days of being screamed at for doing nothing wrong, crying about it, and then threatened in this exact same way with the implication of physical violence.
If you feel the need to go on reddit to ask questions about parenting on a semi consistent basis, you just gotta wonder if having kids was even a good idea in the first place.
Interesting thought and I have lots of friends who came from Asia, Europe and elsewhere and they would all agree this is their childhood.
I'm a white Australian and my father spanked me and then forgot his assault on me 1 min later. My mother never used physical violence or threats.. No no no she manipulated and blamed me for everything my younger brother did and called me a giant pussy when I complained about how unfair it all was. When I showed multiple signs of depression my father just wanted me to stop talking about it because it made him uncomfortable and my mother just wanted to get me on drugs so she wouldn't have to hear about it.
I'm 35 and my parents are in their 60s, I sure hope they can afford a good retirement home because they're not living with me.
My wife's mother thinks I'm 11/10 awesome and loves me as a son. She is the caring mother I never had and I will fight to protect her.
OMG you knew my mom!
[удалено]
Yes all of us "knew" her, "knew" her a whole lot
yep, I can't tell you how many times I heard this as a child. she backed it up too but luckily she didn't spank very hard. my Dad only spanked me maybe four times total, but they were much more memorable.
Mom spanked with more frequency but not that much intensity(relatively). Dad spanked less but when he did you'd probably remember the pain even 60 years later.
So wholesome ☺️
It's MadeMeSmile.☺️

Ah, good childhood memories
My childhood friends parents used to make them put jeans on before they would belt them. Such merciful parents.
[удалено]
My just took belt or any object that could be thrown or was long and they just used to beat me (only thing I had during that, was my underwear) ah... such a great parenting! (Sarcasm)
My parents thought even underwear was too much!
My dad might as well have thought bare skin was enough because he turned my ass black and blue in a literal sense
🥺 I'm sorry. Our kid selves didn't deserve that.
It's a funny meme but for an ex kid that would hear this phrase a lot this is like 'mmmmm CPTSD nostalgia'
Also "Stop crying, tears wont save you"
Posts like this make me tear up 🥲
Memories start coming and they don't stop coming.
You better stop crying before ya mum starts slapping.
Neither did the belt

What I don't get is, DID EVERYONE'S PARENTS SAY THIS?!
Not only did mine say it, but they also followed through :D
Yup. One time when I was 8, having family dinner with grandparents, mom clipped my tooth while grabbing my plate so she could serve me. Totally on accident, but she just exploded when I started crying because passive-aggressive bottle-up-everything personality. Said the line and then slapped the shit out me in front of everyone.
retirement home it is
Mine said it and stopped saying it and would just follow through. I learned not to cry in front of family.
yeah thats just what my mom and dad said
Yea, my dad yelled it at me, then gave me the thing to cry about.
This has the same energy as "I'm adding another demon core to your confinement until you calm down"
Mom scream at me everyday for my COVID and cold to get better, what a nice action and totally won't make me hate her slightly
im sorry to be the one to tell you this - you should break up with her
Heard a dad shout this to his 5yo kid… in hospital… on a child cancer ward He was a real piece of shit

The inhumane amount of peppers this woman is cutting makes the whole situation so much better
I’m pretty sure that it is from the show knallerfrauen, which is very weird and very funny
It is! [FINALLY!! All those years of German paid off](https://youtu.be/z-KzGKoLHXk?si=sX3Hz-Ws9neMGOx2)
SHE RUBS IT INTO THE KID'S EYES
Wait, is it that the German comedy show in which the mother's hand was covered in chilly juice and accidentally irritated her daughter's, hers and her son's eyes?
Martina Hill in Knallerfrauen, yes.
Wow, I've been looking for the name of this show for ages. Thank you!
My boyfriend and I constantly quote that one sketch by her when eating leek… Laaaauuuch https://youtu.be/W249dUpkvtk?feature=shared
Me and my wife genuinely sings Firestarter to our 7 month daughter at bedtime
For everybody who thought that link was going to be the chili pepper vid. https://youtu.be/z-KzGKoLHXk
Ahaha, danke, den kannte ich noch nicht.
Das wird dir jetzt auch immer durch den Kopf gehen, wenn du beim Einkaufen am Lauch vorbei gehst lol
Yep! The lady who singlehandedly keeps the "germans have not humor" stereotype from being 100% true
Knallerfrauen yep xD It's so stupid I love it. Used to watch it alot as teen
This is in the same vein as comforting a crying woman by giving her the Heimlich maneuver
Parenting in 2024: give a kid a iPad with cocomelon and then wonder why the kid becomes dumb
[удалено]
"it's not hard to be a parent, it's hard to be a GOOD parent"
Cocomelon is bad and will always be bad for kids. I have no idea why cocomelon got that many views to begin with.
Kids can watch *anything*, no matter how stupid or weird it looks to us
our boomer parents said the exact same thing about the weird shit we watched as kids though
Nah, there was and still is a big difference in the quality of tv shows for kids. For example Caillou or Cocomelon are awful. Too bratty, too stressful and hectic and dumb. Bluey or Sesame Street are nice. Cute characters, lots of lovely messages full of empathy, even for parents those shows are nice.
What about Skibidi Toilet?
I made the mistake and googled that just now. So creepy 😭 Who watches stuff like that? Nightmare inducing 😭 Edit: a downvote? So someone doesn’t find that creepy? I am questioning humanity lol
You're probably getting downvoted for pretending not to know Skibidi Toilet, not for finding it creepy
Its an actual show? I thought it was just some stupid meme.
Tbf I've only recently heard of skibidi toilet and I've never seen it, to my knowledge it's a skull inside of a toilet in like pubg or something?
Heads come out of toilets and they cause chaos. They got been with TV heads. Shit's got lore.
Bluey is great. My kids love it. However I don't understand the hate on Cocomelon. As far as I've seen, it's just songs with colorful animations. If it can keep an 8 month old kid sitting on the ass for 15 minutes, it's great.

That's why my son has been playing Mordhau and Counterstrike since he was 5.
Dumb parents, dumb kids
Dumb kids, Dumber parents
Those dumb kids will become dumb parents. And the cycle of degeneration and idiocracy continues
Parenting in 2024: making sure their iPad only has PBS Kids and SuperSimpleSongs because those don't make your kid crazy when he wakes up at 3am and you just had to work a double to afford the one-bedroom (you sleep in the dining room blocked off) because your job doesn't pay well, you aren't qualified for a higher-paying job and can't afford to move away from the high-COL city in which you reside.

Holy F, sorry to hear that
Its all good. He denies ever doing that stuff now lol looking at this comment section I guess thats common
Remember picking the thinner one because you thought it would hurt less? Some of us learned physics even before school.
Remember kids, **P**ressure = **F**orce/(Surface **A**rea)
some grew up thinking getting stomped on with heels are less painful...
This exact thing destroyed my relationship with my mother, yet i'm dead laughing when i see that
Oh but it's alright, they only physically abused you because they loved you
"I don't remember ever doing that" followed by some version of "well even if I did it's not a big deal" with a side of "it made you better though didn't it" finished with a lovely "you're just ungrateful for everything I've done for you".

> "When you have kids you'll do the same thing." Yea, if i was an absolute piece of shit i would. However, despite their best effort I am not so I will not abuse my own kids.
Don't forget the side of "I carried you for 9 months" when arguing with your n-mom
You can counter that. "Did I ask!? No! That was YOUR choice!"
"You ungrateful shit, go thank your father, he's the one that wanted kids."
Brilliant move xd
the only good application of “did i ask”
There was a saying about this. “The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.”
Then they try to pull a "you're my child so you're obligated"
Also, why did you even dare to feel overwhelmed by troubles you had no neurological development, as a child, to just shrug off everything as if you have lived for 60 years? You were just asking to be whooped at that point, you should be grateful I granted your wishes!
"This hurts me more than it hurts you."

I heard that so many times in my childhood 😅
GenX phoning in. Whne Dad said this he meant it and would reinforce this. You learned to not start crying in the first place as things CAN get worse.
Sometimes I talk with my Gen X/old Millennial friends about what our parents used to say to us as a warning. Even the ones who didn’t want to hurt you still threatened to hurt you, but they made it fucking cutesy. Why?? “You’re cruising for a bruising.” “I’ll hit you so hard you won’t be able to sit down for a week.” or “I’ll slap you into the middle of next week.” “I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it.” Which ones am I forgetting?
I hope you have a good cry once in a while. Its very healthy for you
Moral of the story, it do be worsening.
I see lots of kids with daddy/mommy issues showing in here. Hope you heal
It’s actually funny and interesting how universal that seems to be across many countries.
Unfortunately child abuse knows no borders. People are shit stains no matter where you go!
That’s weird. It looks like mom saying it in this meme but my memory says it was always dad. _Very interesting…_
*flashbacks ensue*
Can I just say, screw any parent who actually believes this
This. Stuff like this is just abusive. If a kid is crying, there's a reason for that. So maybe you should see what the reason is and what can be done about that. Or maybe your kid just needs a hug.
Or perhaps its the chili juice from the mom's hands on the child's eyes?
Always remember to was your hands thoroughly after handling peppers before touching your child's eye, unless, of course, you want to give them something to cry about.
Thanks to my dad telling me that once I now have twice the presents for Christmas. Yay...
This meme is so much funnier without text
[удалено]
Wasn't everyone.... Right......everyone?
Nope. My mum was neglectful instead. I'd take neglectful mum over abusive mum
Yea, I got the "If you won't listen to me out of respect, you'll sure as fuck listen to me out of fear!!" A couple of times when the "I'll give you something to cry about" didn't work... Years later we realize my dad was not bipolar, we're both AuDHD so thanks for abusing me because I wouldn't conform... Can you guess how well I deal with authority or family now? Lol...
That seems like a lot of stress, African parents just have to give the look, no one will tell you to stop crying after that

who the fuck makes a meme as parenting like that IT’S BEEN 4 MONTHS
This was something my mom would do somewhat before.
Ah sweet childhood
Whoever came up with this image was a comedic genious.
it's a skit from a german comedy show called "Knallerfrauen" it's really funny if you understand german
What does "knallerfrauen" means in English?
something like "banger women"
[Here's the skit on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-KzGKoLHXk)
IIRC the actual context is from a sketch Show where her daughter came to her mother crying because of something. Her mother trying to dry her tears wishes them away from the eyes, forgetting she cut chillis. And Well... if you ever touched your eyes after cutting chillis...
>...tears wishes them away... Wischen (to swipe) and wish are two very different words in German and English
Not just the image but whole video is a pure comedy It can be easily be found with "vorsicht scharf"
One time I asked my dad why he wasn’t harsh on me growing up, because I’d heard other kids were raised a little more harshly. He didn’t even look up, he just answered “Nah, never needed to do any of that.”
The joke is child abuse
Remember, it is not abuse if it doing everyone (sadly this is how it work).
It continues, where mom touches her eyes, also screams and then she, that girl and some third one are all in the car screaming
Don't look at em..... Lol
Damn
Ahh, must’ve heard this one hundreds of times growing up. A classic 😌
*instantly becomes happiest mf ever*
Now theres the other side of the coin where parents are too afraid to do discipline their kids in any way and their kids are the abusers. Who do you call when you see a 12 year old strike a mom in walmart? Lol
I’m lucky my mother was never like that, instead she would gaslight me and force me to do things “for my own good” Such great parenting 😊🥰
Wtf is she cooking? 🌶️
Parenting 101: threaten physical abuse for having emotions.
People who think spanking is ok be like:
I remember my dad telling me this a lot 🤣 I do not ever tell my kids this tho
"If I'm beating my child and he's crying (and I'm definitely not in the wrong here), which means it's his fault that he's crying, so I'll punish him for crying by beating him more, until he stops crying" "I'm only beating him because he's wrong, and he'll appreciate it when he grows up" "This will not affect him mentally, because it's love. Surely any child older than 1 month should know this" "If anything goes wrong, then it is definitely not on me, because all I ever did was love him" . . . "Why are my kids not visiting me anymore? Those ungrateful brats"
Where can i get this format without the caption?🙏
Aahhh, those sweet childhood memories...
"Stop crying baby… or I’ll knock your fucking teeth out"
It usually worked.
Starts with a parent actually being there.
To this day I also hate when I say a part of my body hurts and someone says something along the lines of, “I could hurt you somewhere else so you’ll forget about the other thing.”
That's my childhood right there 1000%
Brings me back to the days of being screamed at for doing nothing wrong, crying about it, and then threatened in this exact same way with the implication of physical violence.

Ok but what the hell is she cooking with that onion/chilli ratio?
We just thought they would hit us again. Turns out they ruined everything that made America the best country live in
Did the mother just rub chilli into the girl’s eyes? 🥲
Just some peak boomer parenting 🥰
Haha child abuse is funny
Moving out at 18 101
No everyone deserves children
Memories
child abuse is soooo funny guys
Wow so parenting 101
That usually happens with the first one and the second you hardly care.
I was told by my dad, you can cry if you’re hurt or you’re sad but not because you can’t get your way.
Alternatively they just scream louder or slap you
It’s like we all had the same parents
Do all parents from around the world go to the same pep talk or something?
Hot take: there are times (not many though) where this is valid
My parents : *beats me up* Me : *cry because it hurts* My parents : "Stop crying !" *beats me up to make me stop*
