Why do some parent criticise and put their kids down in front of others?

I don't know but my father is the same way even now and I';m an adult married with one child and another on the way. I avoid him as much as possible.





These parents needs to realize that it hurts teh child alot longer than just a few minutes. Its embarrassing at the time but hurts there selfesteem for many years to come and makes them shy away from certin situations.Why do some parent criticise and put their kids down in front of others?
Maybe they are doing that on purpose to show other people that they know how to raise their kids.Why do some parent criticise and put their kids down in front of others?
because they don't think of the consequenses. They think their child won't remember, but they do.
My ';father'; is the same way. I never liked it when he did that to my brothers, my sister and myself, it was so embarrassing and humiliating. Since him and my mother got divorced I haven't seen much of him, but my brothers still do, and he keeps on doing the same to them. He seems not to care, I'm guessing he thinks it didn't or wont affect us. To tell you the truth, it does affect, it creates a lack of self confidence, everything we try to do we have so many doubts about it, we just think that everything we try to do will never be good.


Parents that do that, are complete jerks, and think so little of themselves that they think that because they are the authority in their children's lives, they have the right to make them feel dumb about themselves, that way the parent will feel better and ';powerful';.
They were probably treated like that when they were kids and it is how they think you should treat people.


People learn from their parents so their kids will probably do the same thing to their kids and so on.


Sometimes people can break the bad habits of their family and it is hard when it is something you have been around for your whole life.


Like people who take drugs, smoke, etc, that is what their kids think is normal so that is how they live their lives too.
jealousy
Because they are as thick as pigshit.
mine does the same. its really emabarasing..
no one i know does that !!
Some parents don't think there is anything wrong with publicly humiliating and disciplining their children, which to a point is a good thing, but some go too far. Parents need to let their children know that just because other people are around they aren't going to act out and get into trouble, but they should do it in a compassionate way. Those parents who have no control over their patient button really don't have control over themselves so how can they be in control over what their child is doing.
I think that people who do this are looking for attention and I also think they do this to embarrass their child so that everyone will look at them and laugh.





Isn't that terrible!
it should be labeled as Child abuse and parents that do it should be held accountable!


Then they should be dragged out into the street, stripped naked, tossed stones at, then be humiliated like they did to their children.


Then they should be burned


alive


by a mob........


with pitch forks......


then birds should come and peck their eyeballs out....
