Let me show you the way to Jesus! In a whisper because only Jesus can save your ass now. I was out with friends and my friends brother was acting a fool. His mama smiled at all the ladies in the group and said those words to her son. I was standing right next to them and heard what she whispered. I thought um I dont even want to mess with her. One kid had kept saying to her mama I need to go to the bathroom. Her reply you didn't need to 2 minutes ago and unless you want the trots like that little boy you better behave and wait.
What about syllable spankings? I (whack) told (whack) you (whack) to (whack) get (whack) down(whack)! My parents had a paddle that said, "To heck with psychology!"
Y’all I am a yeller of a type of parent. We had weather to open windows and I sent a goodie bag with muffins and a letter apologizing to my neighbors “If you hear me use a crazy mama voice just know I told my family 5 times nicely first. The kids are fine. Promise.” Got a couple of text laughing but I swear I know they hear me and they too get off the darn couch.
elisebean1 exactly what I was thinking. That be the kids with no discipline! When u just gotta 1,2, and the kid knows that’s when u know u doing it right. Lol My daughter is 3 and I’m like 1,2 and she’s already know lol
lol the little whisper when you actin out in the grocery store "oh dont worry. i got something for you at home." just knew i was about to catch an ass whooping when we got back to the house.
My Mom had every look and whisper, absolutely perfected! LOL 😆 Especially during Church events. Wow! I truly do miss her. ❤ There's not a single day which goes by that our beautiful and loving Mother isn't thought about or deeply missedI
My mother's Nigerian and in church she'd do what I call, the "silent twist" maneuver to which she would whisper in my ear and pinch and twist my side. Lord knows if shrieked from the pain, It be more trouble for me Shaped me to learn quick & fast not to act up😂😂
Engage the child where she is, while she is in that mood, and do what you can do to help her negotiate it. Do not expect from your child a level of maturity that she does not possess. You are the parent. Be the big person. 😘😘😘
Lessons In Life thanks I needed to hear that. Sometimes I have too many expectations for the lil ones😩 I’m learning how to be the bigger person as I am 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾
I work with school children and they have selective hearing, sometimes you got to raise your voice not to demean them, but they literally will tune you out or act as if they can't hear you. You'll be trying to get your attention, and the more you try to get their attention the louder they get.
My sister and I experienced all of those growing up as a kid. Oh, and don't let me have to call your first name, middle name and last name or if I have to tell you a third time ... you just knew you were in deep trouble. The funny thing is we use those same methods of discipline on our kids as well...generation after generation. 😂😂😂😊 If it ain't broke don't fix it. Go with what works. 😂😂😂😊😊😊
My brothers and I were talking about this over Christmas. LOL. We used to call it my mother's evil eye. Act up somewhere like church or in the doctor's office and you would start crying when she looked at you because you knew what going to happen once you got home. She never open her mouth but she gave you the evil eye
Just my opinion but there's a time and place for yelling and a time and place for whispering I whisper or talk normally the first few times I asked him to do something then after that it's time for the voice to get raise a little bit and if it is at a point of yelling somebody's ass is in trouble.
Lol oddly enough the yell usually comes first my house the whisper means I'm about to go to jail and the kids usually put up and shut up when I get to staring and whispering
I had to introduce my 1 yr old to the clenched teeth whisper at church Easter Sunday. I had to add a firm squeeze to his arm to add emphasis to my point but we made it through the whole service with no problems.
Yes, I yell. Not to be abusive, but to get the point across. It put the fear of God into me as a child and I survived. I got my booty whipped. I survived and mine will too. I learned respect via an Agner belt lol!!
My big sister is the one that always sets me straight. She does that deadly whisper and that silent mouthing 😂 And if anyone but my sister does the whisper I just say “cho breath stink” (even when I'm not in trouble 😂)
I’m thinking he knows my mom, that was her in church. When it’s bad, her line was “you just wait until I tell your dad when he gets home”. My dad was the worst with the look, or just cleaning his throat, I’d straighten up so fast!
The other day I saw a mother in a shop with her kid and her kid was pulling her hair and slapping her whilst she ‘used reason and logic’ with it. Stupid generation will win stupid prizes. Nothing wrong with good old fashioned discipline.
I had my son when I was 15 I'm 28 now when I was 20 I master the art of the whisper and now at 28 I'm a master at the stair down and the mouthing get your ass off the arm of my couch lol
I do all of those with my kids and by them being special needs on different levels they all understand me and get me and people be wondering what I'm doing to them or saying to they cause they can't hear me
The whispered threats are the most effective...Mainly because it gives the parent plausible deniability. At least that's what my childhood buddies's mother always said. She was a great lady.
