Agreed, this is the dumbest thing ever. I get that they're trying to make them look bad, but I'm sure over half the people with kids have told their young child to shut the hell up when they're on the phone with someone "important".

This was me every other day during lockdown. My kids would walk into my ad hoc office and start complaining about some random shit or come in there to continue their little squabble.

I heard a guy tell his teenage kids to “shut the fuck up!” multiple times.

This really isn’t worth a story. Conservatives are awful in so many other ways. This is more of a human moment.

Yeah, back in 2022 I was doing teletherapy and the therapist worked from home and had a baby and one a few years old. Half the time I could hear them screaming in the background (granted you can't really tell a baby to be quiet, but you can a little kid) and it was annoying as hell to listen to.

Counterpoint - hit him early and often. Don't relent.

Nah, that just fucks your kid up when you do it too often. Sometimes little kids need a good smack because they absolutely refuse to listen to anything you say, but I'm largely against hitting kids. My dad spanked me once as a kid and it worked.
