Grandpa got it right!

A brat that needs a a$s whooping.

Badly.

That means I would’ve had a date with a clothes hanger. Man did those wooden ones hurt. Went to school with welts, now my mother would’ve been arrested. And no I didn’t beat my kids.

If he’s around 5 or 6 now, what will he be like at 15 or 16? And I won’t feel sorry for you one bit “Mom” because you’re encouraging this behavior. So get ready for sleepless nights when this brat doesn’t come home and the police show up at your door.

It means mommy is a really really bad parent.

Excuse me?! That’s your MOM you little monster and the ONLY name you call her is MOM! I’d like to shove a bar of soap right thru that kid’s teeth! Have spitting bubbles for a month!

If I’d done that to my Mom, I’d have gotten one across the lips I’d be feeling to this day.

Wow!! The cartoons are full of “brats” today! Teen-age ones too!

In Minnesota and Wisconsin, they eat brats.

If we weren’t at home and I acted ANYTHING like that brat did, my mom would give me a pinch that I would feel for hours!

Grandpa is right.

He’s not emoting to communicate his boundaries, he’s being the boss and a bad one at that. The lady needs to learn to set age appropriate boundaries, because she doesn’t have them and he won’t learn them.

Once when a 4 yr old boy started to tell me his mom’s personal stuff I carefully said that I felt like I was gossiping. His grandma said “He’s telling his truth.” Ugh! I put up with her gaslighting-double standards for decades. But I’m free now.

And his parents are bloody fools
