Input: I see it so often when I go out. A child is acting completely reasonable and a parent will just randomly explode at them including threats of violence. They just yell them into submission at the slightest hair trigger and think that is parenting. 


I was making a quick trip to the store with a friend and a little girl who was smiling made a move to help move bagged groceries back onto the cart. The mom exploded at her in a way that was obvious it was commonly done. She yelled "Stand behind me or I'll smack your ass!". 


I told her she should feel ashamed for treating her kid that way which she made a tssssck noise and told me to mind my own business... Well my friend seemed to think the same way. He told me parents have different parenting styles and I was being an asshole for doing that in front of her kid.
