Oh, I think its binary? Im the most reasonable here you are the one saying to call cps

Core memory unlocked

I shouldn't but...LOL

CPS doesn't always equal being taken away, and a 16 year old will get a say in how their life should look like.

Dealing with parents that obviously lack the skills to handle their kids is especially what CPS us for, I don't know why you can only think in extremes.

Anyway, I don't have any more time to spare to argue with you, maybe try to think about if the world is really as binary as you seem to understand it.

Jesus FC. If you need the $, call corporate and do it with them.

Look! This guy gets it perfectly.

You are right, calling CPS and being taken away is what OP really needs to find some stabilty in his chilhood. Based advice. You are clearly the most knowledgeable. Those social service workers that have 50 kids to look after will take good care of him.

Must be down river from a bread factory.

Your mom FU telling you. You don't deserve the v weight of or ins and outs of this. Please, remind yourself it isn't about you. There was no perfect combo that he got wrong. Your life and experience is valid, but this is their FU. You're surely a great kid if she has that trust. But that was also a lot you didn't have to and should never have heard. My stepmother told me in detail about my dad's infedilty when I was only a little older than you. About 20yrs later, I can't believe shit. I tried telling her as an adult about a series of sexual assaults she or my dad could have prevented. She did not even react, just said to call My dad. Yeah, no.

I already said what I have to say: Hitting your child is wrong, hitting your child with a fucking belt is sociopathic, and OP has every right to call CPS to get out of this family (or to just get support, no idea how this works in the states) if op deems it the right course of action.

Also, from the way OP writes about this I can not shake the feeling that this may not happen everyday, but their parents really use cruel punishment more than once or twice. Ofc, only OP can prove this, but the subtext really speaks a certain language, esp. as OP sees this as fuckup on their side.

This guys are so pitty omg. OBVIOUSLY, not with a fucking belt, that's too much but a slap? If u think that a good slap don't teach nothing to kids you have to talk to people and ask, most of the people I KNOW that are respectful individuals have got slapped. In the other hand you have this new kids that parents let them do everything they want, and they're just stupid ass kids, that in the right time have not got slaped. (A SLAP, NOT SPANKING). Eventually, you learn that you can't do some things and you grow up, and your parents grow up too and start understanding it's just words needed, because they know you will understand. It's normal that OP's parents didn't let him go out. That happened to me few times, I got mad too, it's life. Your mom acted the right way, she made you stay home as punishment, and she heard "bitch" and didn't react. Your dad, yhea he should not beated you. For it's in the moment, if your mom slaped you when you said it, it was okay for me. After the situation happened, he just had the right to talk with you.

(Sorry for the bad grammar. I hope one day I'll be able to teach all I want to my kids, with words, but I don't judge the parents that need and eventually slap they're kids( u can't say it does not work.) Spanking just create revolted kids.

No and yes. I think it was relevant to what you replied just know. Plus I saw you are the same who was arguing on another thread. What I really care about is what you have to say.

You just wrote half a page about what you said in another comment.

Ahaha. Lets get something straight. Physical punishment is something I dont agree with, but depending on various circumstances it can be blatant child abuse, or just miss management of parenting methods without making it full on child cruelty. You see, I'm not a parent, but I know enought about it to know that I know jack shit about parenting, so I reduce myself to reasonable moral judgements, and in this situation, since I wasnt there to watch, and taking into account the fact that he called his mom a bitch, I dont think its such a big deal that he got hit for it, I wouldnt do it myself tho, I just dont automatically accuse people of being shit parents and want them to get charged with child abuse for something that clearly it not that simple, just like parenting isnt in itself. Now in my original statement, I said what I thought about the hitting part and that I agreed with the incial "not going out with his friends" punishment, thus not even justfying him insulting his parents, if he deserved it to beggin with. I do have empathy, but just like OP said in another comment, its doesnt happen often, so I dont think the kid will be traumatized and that he will improove and be well with his parents. I was just trying to share some insight on how I'm sure his parents worry about him and how he should try to see their perspective.

They're only in the States. I also don't get the fixation with it. It's literally just a chicken tender on a bun with a couple slices of pickle. Their company politics suck too.

Better is relative but they’re completely different places. Chick-Fil-A has sandwich’s, nuggets, strips, sides, but no bone-in chicken. CFA has a pretty solid reputation as far as good goes, KFC…not so much.

I find it really troubling that a teenager who prioritizes his friends over homework (which is pretty normal, I did too and still got to be a scientist at the end) is more alarming to you than parents hitting their kids with a fucking belt.

You seem to have lost any kind of empathy somewhere in your upbringing, I hope you get well!

how did he foreshadow it

[removed]

Kid, you shouldn't be stating the school you go to out on the internet like this. You could get stalkers.

Crazy how he foreshadowed you “playing dumb”

But WHEN DID I SAY I SUPORTED HITTING YOUr KID?!?! go read my original comment, literally the first sentence I wrote was "I dont support spanking your kid". I never in this whole discussion said I condoned hitting your kids, I just said that punishment like not letting him go out was totally fair since he didnt do his school work before.

i know
