Current Events > Where did this parental counting thing come from?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hey kids, if you do something wrong, you can get away with it as much as you want until someone starts counting.

Murder spree? They won't send you to prison as long as you stop before they get to three.

if I was a parent I would probably find it to be a useful way to not flip my shit on my kid.

Say you count to 10, but skip to 10 after 1. Got them!

You might have a point there, actually. My parents never counted but they were quite the s*** flippers.

So which is worse? I guess ideally you do neither.but nobody's perfect.

It's usually the last thing you do before spanking the child. Basically if they hear you counting they know they have about 3 seconds to start doing what you told them to do

It's always funny when I hear that in a store.

"Timothy Michael come here right now....you have until 3....

1....2.......

......

...........

*kid still not moving*

.....1......2.."

It's like what's the point if you keep starting over and don't follow through in the threat?

Well it doesn't work if you're a pussy. That's the kid calling your bluff that that ass won't be beat in public. Sometimes you just gotta show that little shit that the boss doesn't back down and you will risk some jail time if they don't stop putting candy and toys in the cart.
