Overheard today:
Little girl is complaining that her baby sister is hitting her.
Mother: "Why don't you hit her back? You're bigger than her!"
Oy.

"Excuse me, madam, but I'd like to congratulate you, seldome have I ever seen anyone training her daughter to harm her younger daughter, and as you are the kind of trash that we want out of the gene pool, your actions will do this nicely."
"Excuse me, little girl, but your mother is bothering me by being very stupid, may I hit her?" (and if she says no,) "Thank you for being much smarter than your mother." (and if the mother protests,) "She has as much right to give me permission to strike you as you have to give her permission to strike her sister, you abysmal zit on the nose of America."
Or even
"Congratulations, madam, you have fully embraced the concept of terrorism, and have begun teaching it to your daughter. I imagine by the time she's ten, she'll be fully equipped to kill other people for whatever foolish reason you concoct, if she hasn't already done that to you."

But I think you're giving her far too much credit, since she was also taunting the girl for being chicken.

Your average moomie would hear cpd and go into a huge defensive tirade that I would dare to criticise how she raised her baybeeee and so forth.
Some of the other stuff might get slight variations on same.
However... did I anywhere say that I would, or Dave should, say any of this out loud?
This is merely what I fantasize, because moomie is legally allowed to teach whatever braindamage she wants to dear little Kinderkilla. Children, unlike pit bulls, may be taught to attack without legal ramification to the trainer.

I just think that Dave heard five seconds of a family conversation out of context and you're hearing it second hand, and your first thought is "Child services!" is about as bad as anything the KIDZ R EVERYTHING people do.
Also, I think the idea of "don't take shit from people you don't have to" is a good thing to teach kids.

I'm not a member of the childfree communities. My wife and I were unable to have children before she died, and she did follow the communities when it was clear that we wouldn't be able to, but neither of us went into the lunacy stage.
As I said, those are the snarky thoughts that run through my head when I see these little snippets in real life, and not really what I'm likely to do.
Irrespective, it's bad parenting to tell your kid to hit your other kid; it's not relevant at all to 'don't take shit from people you don't have to' and reinforces an adversarial situation inside the family, where teaching her better coping methods will mean she'll use them in other situations.

Kids fight. Tired moms make snarky comments at their kids. Nothing in life is perfect.
Personally, if I have kids, I'm of the "let the kid stick the penny in the light socket and see what happens" kind of guy.

As evidenced in another thread, use of jargon does not necessarily mean that one is a member of the group which originated the jargon.
I believe Rap music contains numerous current examples.
