In light of the razzness and comprehension issue that happened 2 weeks ago. A explanation for a behaviour is not an endorsement.

i remember my mum threw a pair of hair shears/scissors at me, straight at my head. it struck and penetrated deeply into the side of head, in my temple. she rushed to me to remove it gently and i could not stop bleeding. she now started crying and begging me not to tell my dad-

“and she saw me bleeding” a piece from my “does my mother love me?” collection.

I love my mother, but omo, being the child of an angry woman is such an insane experience. I can't count how many times she dumped hot soup straight from the gas because of one thing or the other. Now, she wants us to be besties. As how nau 😭

I don't like gentle parenting. The term, not the style, because of how we hear "gentle" & think lax/lazy. There's nothing lazy about Authoritative Parenting, which is what this style with high expectations AND warmth is really called. We're mistaking it for Permissive Parenting
