This is about a woman being the worst possible parent she can be. The scary thing is, I have a feeling that she didnt come up with this idea on her own. Im feel sad that someone probably said to her "have you tried giving him hot sauce and cold showers?!"
Sigh. That was hard to watch. Id actually watch that episode of Dr. Phil just to see what she had to say.

The sad fact is that she is not the worst possible parent she can be.

She's not selling her son as a prostitute to pedophiles.
She's not feeding him hallucinogens or depressants just to see what would happen.
She's not letting him starve to death while she plays FarmVille.
She's not throwing him through a wall (as someone else alluded to previously).
She's not doing any of a gajillion things that would make her a worse parent than what she displayed in this clip.

Is she a good parent? Not by any means.
While a cold shower might be an appropriate way of getting the attention of a stubborn child, having them hold hot sauce in their mouth for a full minute is not. That's abusive.


The goal of disciplining a child is twofold:
1 - To reinforce that there are consequences for a child's actions.
2 - To get the child to consider their actions and why they were wrong.

One offense was fighting over pencils. Does the hot sauce punishment accomplish #2? How about the cold shower?
I think we can agree that they accomplished #1, since the boy knew that was coming.

Another offense was the lie he told.
Now, one could argue that the hot sauce is a suitable punishment for the lie. It's twisted logic, as the burning feeling in his mouth is the consequence for using the same mouth to tell lies. I still don't find it appropriate, but I can at least understand the logic.

Bad parent? In my opinion, yes.
Worst parent ever? Not even close.

WTF are you assholes going off on a religious rant? This has nothing to do with religion...there are plenty of religious and non-religious nuts out there. Both sides have plenty of crazies.

I don't think hot sauce or a cold shower are really the problem here. What's sad is that the boy is obviously terrified of confiding in his mother and chose to lie because of it. Apparently she doesn't understand that and only makes it worse for him.

Also, I suppose "pulling a card" means being marked down for doing something wrong at school. The mother doesn't even seem interested in hearing his story about the incident, or in him understanding why what he did was wrong. Instead he just gets general punishment for "the card". Apparently she wants him to grow up doing what people tell him to do so he doesn't have to eat hot sauce, instead of being able to differentiate between right and wrong.

I guess you could draw parallels to religion, but I don't see a real connection here. It's just bad parenting.

uhh ya, that's not much for people to be crying over. Nothing physical, some mental punishment. Call me when the kid is screamed at and thrown threw drywall. He can join the club.

Side note, hot sauce is delicious.>> ^Gallowflak:

That was pretty weak. Hot sauce and a cold shower? Please, I'd have taken that any day. Y'all need to see some real child abuse before you accost this woman as the spawn of hell. She was in control of her actions and the consequences sounded like they were predetermined.
Here's a measure of rationality: you're siding with Dr. Phil.

Uh-huh.
Fuck you.

When I was a kid it was normal for my peers and I to receive a mouthful of fairy washing up liquid if we swore or lied, so I can sortof understand but only up to a point. Being instructed to keep the hot sauce in the mouth for more than 5 seconds and then following up with a cold shower is going way too far.

Personally I think that children and young adults need to be made aware of the consequences of their actions and normally I'd welcome small punishments that reinforce the point of lying being unacceptable, in this case though the mother has obviously lost the respect of her child because she has demonstrated cruelty on a repeated basis. There's a whole world of difference between punishment and cruelty and this woman obviously doesn't get it.

That is hard a hell for me to watch. I would NEVER do anything remotely like that to my kids. Fuck, I was almost in tears for that kid. That woman had better be glad I wasn't around for that or she would have some serious hot sauce breath and a nice, long, cold shower......and a size eleven boot up her ass.

Exceedingly hot. I think I need a cigarette now, or maybe a cold shower.

I think Peter Clark needs a cold shower.

^?????!
The truly confused annoy choggie....choggie take cold shower

> So fellows, just think about engorged monkey arses, the next time
> you see a good set.

Oh God that just makes it worse, I need a cold shower.

The ending was best for me, I'm a vegan who walks or bikes as much as possible and likes cold showers. I still exhale, though.
