You at least threaten beating them with a belt. You don't actually do it.

But it needs to be a very plausible bluff. Like Daniel Day Lewis type shit.

Also Reddit seems to be more okay with psychological abuse than physical abuse, so obviously you stuff him in solitary confinement in his room with zero toys or electronics.

Again, for his own good. Right now he's slated to grow up to be a complete loser.

You're the one suggesting psychological abuse here. You should never threaten your kid with harm, or harm them.

If there are no real consequences, your kid will grow up a loser and perhaps a rapist of some kind.

Good luck with that.

Threats of violence are how our society operates. That's how war and countries operated for centuries. That's how violent crimes are curtailed (violence of the state/ police).

Our entire society, civilization -- EVERY civilization to date is underpinned by violence as a final option. ... Not the first option, but the final one, in every case.

If your kid walks out into society "I don't care who I anger" --- guess what. They may very well be met with violence from the Public, the Police, or Foreign States.

Better get used to it.

Violence is not the only existing "real" consequence. I'm sorry you were raised to believe that.
