Is it okay is my mom hits me?

Question

I know she wants the best for me but I was kinda having a fit cuz I didn’t want to study (cuz I alr did my hw) and like she yelled at me and then I went to my room and started acting crazy and yelling then she came into my room and kinda like pulled my hair and hit me on the back.

I know I should’ve behaved well but idk if it’s normal or not

Answer 1

You threw a fit. Behaved bad. If your mom uses physical stuff as a punishment within reason I think it’s fine, like in this case. As long as it doesn’t leave marks or bruises. Or as long as she doesn’t consecutively hit you then I think it’s fine. I feel like in this situation it was well deserved, not that I would ever do it as a punishment or really approve of it, but you really kind of deserved it?…

Answer 2

It is not okay for a parent to hit you anywhere for any reason. It sends the wrong message, and if you really want to punish your child, take away something they love most.
Depending on how hard she hit you and if it left a mark, it may or may not be abuse.

Answer 3

Where exactly on your back? Like butt or actual back.

Answer 4

Why is everyone calling this “abuse”?

The mom had a valid reason to punish this user.

Abuse is hitting and physically (or mentally, psychologically, etc.) assaulting your child without good reason.

The person didn’t want to study, argued, went to their room, acted crazy, and the mom punished them.

It’s honestly dumb that people call this abuse- when I was a smaller kid, my parents would spank me if I misbehaved.

I am a functioning member of society, and I think without the punishment I received, I’d be a complete brat.

Idk man, I've never been a fan of putting hands on kids unless it's absolutely mandatory.

Although, this seemed like a one-time situation, so I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'abuse,' really, but the parent seemed in the wrong.

Yeah, i dont really know…it IS punishment but if it actually left a mark or a bruise or smtg…that’s physical abuse…

---

I semi agree except I think her mom went a bit far. Like a spanking or a slap, like my mom does, it’s deserved at some times but like hair pulling is not okay

---

This is not the right atmosphere for a funny quote that I had in mind.

It would go really well with the topic, but it’d be badly timed.

I wanna hear it

I WONT JUDGE

It’s kind of a weird quote lol

It probably won’t be approved.

Ah never mind then

Answer 5

Dude, that’s abuse.

Answer 6

No, it is not okay for your mom to hit you. Physical violence is never an acceptable way to discipline a child, regardless of the situation. It is important to talk to a trusted adult or counselor about the situation and seek support in finding healthier ways to resolve conflicts with your mom. Remember that you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness.

Answer 7

Well its okay to spank but hitting Is normal as long as she doesn't do it all the time

Comments

Spanking is even worse than hitting.

Spanking is actually legal tho.

Spanking teaches a lesson

Hitting also

But if you hit or spank them for no reason that's abuse
