Status Updates From To Train Up a Child: Child ...

1. I think it was bad that looking at porn used to be a jailable offense actually
2. The Bangkok Thailand thing is a not so subtle transphobic jab

I think condoms and government funded healthcare are good actually

So he's now specifically instructing you to isolate your children and make sure to keep them away from anything that might "compromise their training" which if you hadn't already figured out that this guy is an abuser? That's abuser shit

Grumpy because you aren't allowed to do educational neglect legally aren't you

I just don't know that I'd be including social works and counselors as reasons to Avoid School unless I was doing some absolutely heinous abuse and trying to avoid mandated reporters

Antisemitism again 🥳

Insane to talk about how 50 years later you're still apprehensive about principles offices because you were abused as a school kid and then write an entire book advocating for corporal punishment from birth

idk man I think being beaten from infancy bc “the Bible says so” would turn me off religion as a whole more than my mom just occasionally saying “gd is watching” actually

Hey so it's actually insane to respond to your kid being mildly cruel to his younger sibling with "do you WANT to be like Hitler?"

1. Why is he being weird about oral fixation
2. Why is he making very weird and overbroad generalisations about fat people
3. What the fuck is he talking about

I do not think switching a baby when the baby is mad will make them *not* unhappy actually

Also why are we physically abusing children for experiencing anger at an age where they're not even filly cognizant of anger

3. Brown recluse bites don't really hurt at all most people don't even realise they've been bit until they have symptoms
4. Its actually very hard to get bitten by a brown recluse they basically only bite in response to pressure on the abdomen which is why you should shake out your shoes and clothes when you live in their range

1. Necrosis only occurs in 2% of recluse bites
2. Necrosis can be caused by the venom but it can also be caused by a staph infection which all spider bites are at risk of developing

WRONG ABOUT BROWN RECLUSE LMAOOOOOO

Man keeps talking about "not raising sissies" by ignoring your child when they get hurt.

Which is a form of neglect.

We have got to start calling bullying peer abuse instead of bullying bc guys like this think being bullied is a good thing

Lmao this part is definitely just him being mad at a woman for getting mad at him for hitting her kid

I just think if your parenting can be compared to an OCCUPYING MILITARY FORCE, then it might be abusive

You should not pawn off parenting on your other children actually. That is a form of abuse

Weird invocation of the confederate flag idk

Very weird gender essentialism here

Now he's just lying bc I've met three year olds the three year old in his anecdote here did not fucking say that

Saying "love and respect are my primary tools of persuasion" in the same book where you admitted to deliberately giving your kids mild surface burns to teach them the oven it hot and shoving one of your kids into a lake to teach her not the play near water as a toddler is INSANE

this man is DELUSIONAL

If any of this guys kids ever want to take him to court for damages due to his child abuse this book would make PHENOMENAL evidence btw

Telling this story of a kid reenacting her abuse like its a cute anecdote about good parenting is actually insane

Saying Barbie dolls encourage kids to fantasize about being playboy bunnies is CRAZY.

Yeah man, abuse victims do tend to listen to and do what their abusers tell them to do.

That doesn't make it not abuse

Like I cannot emphasize enough how if I was talking to someone and my kid hit them with a toy and they HIT HIM BACK?

I would be IN PRISON
