    As a child, I had issues with patience. When my mom was talking on the phone and I wanted to talk to her, I’d press the button to hang up. Not as easy to do that with cellphones

      As an adult, if I had done this as a child I would not be an adult.

        As an adult, I fucking hate jokes about child abuse as discipline. On the off chance you seriously literally think you parents would have MURDERED you, seek help. You’re saying they would have ended your life and you seem to think that’s a good thing. People always say this with a superior attitude too, like being threatened with death makes them a better person. Like all the children who aren’t perfectly behaved ought to be killed. Physical abuse often actually worsens children’s behaviour. A child shouldn’t be fearing for their life if they mess up.

          Dark humor is like food: you like some, you don’t like some, and not everyone gets it.

          Have a nice day!
