He would have never got the first shut up out. Because soon as he raised his voice at me in the beginning of the conversation, his little ass would have been leaking all over the floor. I don't believe in a child talking back to an elder person. And if I came across one doing so, I believe I have the right to slap the sh*t out of the parent, lol. So all that's said is that we need to put more rules down and let the child know that even though you may feel a certain way, we talk it out calmly, not screaming and hitting, and that goes for anyone. And this situation with this child slapping his mom, or even acting out the elbow lick was out of line.
