Apparently I'm an asshole because I tend to raise my child authoritarian and authoritatively. There's a time to pay attention to feelings and what the child wants, but respect and discipline is important too. 😩😩
I was raised with both. My dad was authoritarian and my mom was authoritative. People immediately assume that being authoritative means I'll beat my kid when I dont like something they do, which isn't the case. You can be stern and firm when needed and you can still remain kind and loving. It's a balance.
There’s a way to discipline and respect without being authoritative. Simply because a parent chooses not to be an authoritarian, doesn’t mean their children are disrespectful and undisciplined.

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

Terrible 2's and 3's!
My services have been requested. This is for the moms of toddlers. You are not alone! If you are struggling with tantrums and acting out then chances are your child is needing attention, not punishment. There are lots of different things that can trigger a meltdown, but the root cause is typically the same.

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
My daughter is not even 9mo old and I feel like she’s so smart because I am like that to.. and so is her dad. We love our kid and cuddle her a lot but when she do something like ex: trying to flip her plate or touch other peoples food on their plate.. we let her know not to but we don’t hit her.. we treat her older because that will make her understand. Last night she started to cry because she was crawling and decided to touch cords on the wall. I said no and she cried and my family thought I was speaking to her roughly. NO! Shes been respecting me when I say no ever since she was 5mo. Yes she is little but teaching starts early. I don’t let people talk down on me by saying “she’s a baby she doesn’t know” SHE WONT KNOW UNTIL YOU TEACH HER AND SHE YOU TEACH HER LATER SHELL LEARN SLOWER.
