(response on a video of a mother hiting her child who was sillying around with the kickback of a cake spade being pulled back) this is a hallmark case of abuse. he isnt stopping the tantrums, hes learning the kids that they cant speak up against anything [by hurting them when they act sad], this is such a fucking toxic way to learn your kids not to do something. dont be surprised when they never tell you about anything, dont be surprised when your kids ends up sneaking out to be in clubs (and other pearl clutching places) because they cant properly communicate to you that they are stressed.
i know it seems like a lot over "just a glass of water", but to a child it will feel like anything they do will end in them getting punished, and that they are hated by their parents, and the parents would rather never talking to them

this one is to this guy: i hope every single time you try to talk about anything stressfull to anyone, you too will get water thrown at you, and be deemed as if you are having a tantrum.
