When This Mom Found Out Her Daughter Was A Bully She Decided To Share Her Discipline Technique With Everyone On Facebook

Discipline is a hot topic in the parenting world these days and it has really transformed a lot over the last century. It used to be that physical discipline was the standard but as humanity matured and began to really dig into the whole "researching early childhood development and psychology" it became practically unanimously agreed upon that hitting our kids was a bad thing, or at least that it tended to do more bad than good. While still some parents continue to fight against the greater scientific community on that particular issue, many others have begun to look down various other avenues to determine the best ways to instill values in their children and properly teach them right from wrong.

One such thing that has gained a lot of momentum over the last 10-15 years has been some form of public shaming. We have seen parents make their angry teenagers stand on street corners holding signs. We have seen parents video the act of shaving their kids' heads or smashing their toys. We have seen a lot of photos of parents who have bagged up their children's belongings, prepped and ready for trash.

Amanda Mitchell is a mother from Newfoundland, Canada who decided that a spanking wasn't the way to get through to her daughter, but she did decide that sharing with Facebook how she chose to discipline her daughter when she found out her daughter had been behaving poorly in school and as anyone could assume would have happened, the Internet is formally divided on the issue. Check it out!

I don't usually do this...

Amanda began her post by warning her friends and family that it was going to be a big one.

Amanda's daughter had been misbehaving well outside the realm of normal for her family.

Mommy's little... a**hole?

Hey, most of us parents have at least thought it but not all of us verbalize it on the Internet.

Here's where it gets... interesting.

Scoffing

You know it's about to take a turn when the parent doing the social media blasting scoffs at the push-back to positive parenting techniques.

And then she drops the mom hammer...

And others found a middle ground, where the punishment was not an issue what-so-ever, but the bragging on social media? Low hanging fruit.
