i can over hear this mother talking to her young child. i am talking about my neighbor. since her house is just besides our house. i could hear it on my window their voices. and what is unbelievable is that the mother is throwing a lot of stuff . i could hear the sound of things beings thrown. maybe those are just some non breakable items. but still , i just wonder how a very young kid like 7 to 9 y ears old being disciplined by her mother that way. although i don't think that the mother is throwing those things to her child. but still it is like the mother is throwing some tantrums to her kid. and i don't remember what she was angry about. but i remember it was not that serious to discipline that child that much.

Back in home town there was a family with many kids. There were always the laughter and kids crying every now and then. The kids mother would always shouted at her children to this and that. We could heard it from a few houses away [em]rofl[/.em]. However, we were used to it and do not have any feelings anymore. It had became a norm to us.

being a mother is not an easy thing to do.. we do get tired also and most of the time being a mother is a stressful role to play.. i admit that i also shouts in my son because of his naughtiness and hardheadedness but i never throw things to him.. sometimes i shout to release any tension from me to avoid hitting because i don't want to do it to my son.. as much as possible shouting is the worst thing i can do to my son..

yeah i think that we should avoid doing something violent like throwing things. this is not good example as parents.

You neighbor seems to be just like my sister in law. She has more tantrums than her twins! She has been that way since she was a kid, as told by my husband and their other relatives. She just always keeps on shouting and trying to instill discipline on her kids on a negative way.

If it is happening several times during the day that is a little harsh to me. I mean, everyone loses their temper now and then. I do too. But it is not multiple times a day either... I normally have a lot of kids here over the weekend and I still don't yell like that at them! Now and then I do lose my patience, just like every parent and I yell. But it is not all the time either...

I do not know if it happens every day. I do not think she has the time to be angry daily. As I do not get the chance to get near my window where I would usually hear them shouting. But throwing your kitchen utensils like aluminum pot and other things successively in such short time because you want to discipline your child. I think that is nor normal anymore.

mothers should not be like that because their child may get trauma or may grow up with fear on them. They can just talk to their child , not throwing things to them.

Wow that's pretty bad I think.. I don't remember having my mom yelled at me even at once.. My mom just tell me not to do bad things and sometimes scold me but not with a yelling. Maybe every mother just have their own ways to teach their own children

Well I understand your concern to the kids since I think you are also a mother.. but the bad thing is we cannot interfer that easy... It's just like my neighbors that almost everyday i woke up with thier voices , the mother always nagging her daughter ...

Hi, Some mothers try to discipline their child by shouting. threshing, beating and throwing anything on their children. They can't control their anger. But it very bad method of teaching manners to their children. How can they teach manners by behaving mannerlessly. These mothers are very shameless. They don't care about someone may listen them. Children should be dealt in soft and kind manner. By disciplining strictly children are spoiled.

Hi hotsummer It truly does sound like this mother is having a melt down of some sort. Hopefully she gets over it and as long as she is not physically hurting them some times kids just end up tuning out a mother that yells a lot even thoa it is not healthy for kids to hear this and it happens once in a while hopefully no harm is done.

Every mother wants her child to be well disciplined and she even trains them for the same. But this is the not the way to treat kids. It will create adverse effect on their mind. Kids at this age needs love and affection from their parents. Hope she would realise it soon

Yes i can understand your neighbours reaction. Sometimes i get too angry and yell at my kid but i never threw things at her as it may create wrong affect on the kid..i think your neighbour should control her anger a little bit

I in a way understand. I have those occasional moments when the kids do something when it's just omg how could you do that. And I yell for them to sit on the couch and not move. But then I go and stand in the kitchen for a few minutes and do something like sweep the floor or do the dishes and then I go back and talk to the kids about what happened and we hug and kiss and find something to do together. You would have to be a saint to have 100% patients all the time. LOL especially with more than one kid. I'm not saying she was in the right. I certainly know there are cases where I've been at my brothers and his wife is yelling at the kids for something as simple as trying to walk through the living room to sit on the couch. As far as throwing things that's not right. I hope she's not throwing them at the poor child.

My back neighbour used to shout or talk very loudly at her children. I could hear her voice loud and clear. She has moved to another place for work but will be home here once in every two weekends. I know when she is back by listening to her voice.

This story of yours is actually happening. I mean, this is happening in my community...in my neighborhood. Our neighbors do this to their children. That is why you will not wonder why their kids do the same. They also shout to their parents, to their siblings and even to the people that they interact. They do not respect their elders anymore because their parents raced them this way.

As a mom I totally get it. I know yelling and ranting and raving sre not what your supposed to do but it happens. I yell a lot. Sometimes those small things kids to add up fast and then you just explode often yelling. I am embarassed that I have these kind of melt downs but I am only human. Give her a break but if you think there is any abuse, of course report it.

The kid must be really embarrassed when people saw it or heard it. Yeah i agree that is not how you discipline a child. Well when you did something really bad it could end like that. My mom disciplines me by telling me things i should not do when i did something bad, saying "You should not do that again." or asking "Why did you that? It's bad.", stuff like that. It's just children will always remember how are they disciplined by their parents even they grow up. So, they must have their limitation on how they discipline the child.
