"Have you ever been to Walmart?!" That was such a good retort....and so true!

[@drrnfl]

An ex boyfriend of mine brags about how his mom beat him up and always says it turned him into a great person. Honestly, yes he was a nice guy with a good heart, but he also had a shit ton of emotional problems. And some anger issues--he once randomly attacked a guy at a fast food place. No idea why he wasn't arrested. Now when I meet people who say "I was beaten and look how great I turned out!" I don't really believe them.

[@drrnfl]

He's an ex for a reason, dude.

[@V3n0Mous1]

So you're a closed minded individual that stereotype about everything?

[@drrnfl]

Uh oh. Looks like I've offended the childhood abuse community. You know political correctness is out of control when people start whining that I'm "Stereotyping" people who were beaten up as children, and that I should be more open minded towards them.

[@drrnfl]

It's not just my ex. I've worked with foster kids and mental patients. 99% of the time ones who were in the worse shape either were smacked around as kids or were molested. If asian parents are good at raising smart kids, it has more to do with the fact that they make them actually do their schoolwork. unlike a lot of American parents, who might tell their kids a few times, but don't really follow through with enforcing the rules.

[@drrnfl]

And seriously, are you really that stupid to think that because I dated ONE guy with emotional problems, then that means all my exes were the same? Of all my ex boyfriends, he was the only one who I would call dysfunctional. And he was the only one who got slapped around by his mom. What a coincidence.

[@Daisy9101-k4u]

[@daleprechaungold]

My mother beat the everloving shit out of me, and I am a complete fuck up, so that approach doesn't always work. If you beat a child, it's parenting, if you beat an adult, it's an assault.

[@samanthaj.8721]

I gotta agree with Olivia on this one. As an Asian myself, my mom has always hit me. I'm not saying this happens to ALL Asians, but it happens to most of them. And now I finally understand a bit about the stereotype that Asians are quiet, no personality, etc. (I'm not being racist! Yes, it's true for the most part. There's a reason why stereotypes exist, anyway) I used to be super quiet myself because I felt that there must've been something seriously wrong with me for my mom to hit me. Thank god I've come to understand that it's just the Asian (Chinese, in my case) culture. So for all the young Asian teenagers out there who have this issue, don't feel ashamed of who you are. There's nothing wrong with you. There's just something wrong with how (*most*) Asian mothers treat you. I don't blame my mom either! She was beaten as a kid by her father. Her father was beaten as a kid, and so on. It's just the way things are. And hey, I'm not asking for pity on this at allllll. I'm just spreading this message out there to my fellow Asians: DON'T BE AFRAID TO EMBRACE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE. LET YOUR YOURSELF GO, LET YOUR PERSONALITY GO, BECAUSE I AM SURE YOU'RE AMAZING. DON'T PUT YOURSELF DOWN. I hope one day to write a book on this to inspire others not to feel ashamed of who they are. Yeah, most Asians tend to have an inferiority complex because of this whole culture thing. I'm so proud of who I am today and the steps I took to overcome the past. If anyone ever needs to talk, just message me!

[@russell961]

nobody remembers verbal threats, but that ass whooping still rings loudly!

[@ShinjiIkariFTW]

when you hit a child for doing something wrong, it leaves an impression or a mark deep, it sends a message relative to the issue at hand that causes a form of interruption and segmentation. there are better ways that dont involve heavy violence and the ensuing impression that is left

[@AceJams]

Let me explain something to you, you can't reason with a 2 year old, Sometimes kids SHOULD get their asses warmed up. I'm certainly not condoning punching a child or striking them in the face but sometimes kids need a reminder of who is the boss. Don't give me that DR Spock bullshit either. Everyday I see so many kids that are crying out for an asswhooping because all their parents did was give them timeouts and now they have no respect for their elders, authority or anything else

[@ShinjiIkariFTW]

AceJams there are other ways than violence. you're taking a dominant position over a very small being and taking away their power, which will have ramifications on a child because at that time they dont have resources to deal with such an event. if you avoid treating them with a level of respect and explaining the problem or what went wrong and allowing them an avenue of reconciliation so that they may actively take responsibility for what they did wrong, then offer a blunt impression filled with violence and powerlessness. no one wants that. less violence, more positive options.

[@Frasianfamily]

I agree with you as a mother myself that hitting a child is not necessary and there are much better and effective ways to discipline a child. I disagree with the comment that you can’t reason with a two year old. If you can’t communicate with your child, that’s the parent’s problem and not the two year old child’s. I choose to raise a child who understands the ramifications of her decisions and consequently makes good choices. Not a child that does so out I’d fear, because the moment they are strong enough to fight back, they will. We teach our children that violence is not okay and we need to lead by example. Violence is a symptom of that person’s failure to reason.

[@BigUriel]

You can reason with a two year old much the same way you can reason with a dog - reward when he does good, punish when he does bad. Small children understand little more than that and as they start to develop they will instinctively learn to test your limits and try to establish a hierarchical structure long before they develop the empathy or moral compass to understand why not to do things because they hurt people's feelings. You see kids walking all over their parents nowadays, throwing fits in public places and even hitting their parents when they're frustrated. This is not unlike a poorly trained dog growling and biting at the owner to try and establish dominance through intimidation. Sometimes the only solution to that problem is putting them back in their place and reminding them you have the power over them and not the other way around, physically if need be. The idea that people don't do bad things because they have good kind hearts is extremely naive. The vast majority of people don't do bad things because they are always aware, even if at a subconscious level, that there will likely be a punishment for doing something bad. That's why there is law enforcement, without it (almost) nobody would actually obey the law and they'd just do as they please. I could give you countless examples of the selfish and destructive nature of humans coming out very quickly when the legal and social boundaries that keep us in check break down. Someone who doesn't learn these boundaries at some point in their development will probably end up in prison or dead once they're adults (or even sooner). Letting a spoiled brat kick and scream all he wants and think he's the center of the world isn't actually doing that child any favors on the long run, thankfully most children will learn this lesson in kindergarten if their parents fail to teach them sooner, when they hit another kid or try to take his toy and that kid hits them right back.

[@evolve749]

I know this was supposed to be funny, but it just kind of made me sad. It made me want to give this girl a hug. There's no reason she had to grow up in that kind of environment. I don't like to disparage anyone's parents, but her mother clearly had some very serious anger issues. Poor girl.

[@lilytranlily6530]

That not mean her mom have serious anger issues, silly. Im Asian myself and my mom not hit me, do you know asian's parent is one of most caring, take care their child? Im not mean asian parent better than others but sure, asian parents take care their kids alot & so deep than any imagine people can image, all they do just for their child, no matter how old their kids in their eyes their son/daughter still a little one. Gerenal, parent at any race, anywhere was beat their children not only Asian, its depend on person/personality not about race. But i admit, asian family seems much more than others race but thats not mean they're bad at all, i know its a wrong to teach a kids (except the case, violence/child abuse) PS: My parents, siblings take care for me than any race can imagine, even now im 27year-old, they never hit or focus me, they can spend time, money and everything for me. And we born& raise in Asian not oversea, we're also decent family not high-class. Around me is same also, sure still have some case child abuse, that case im 100% agree they're sickness parents not a human, have no words to justify for them.

[@evolve749]

That's wonderful for you. I'm glad you had loving parents. Every child should have that. However, if what Ms. Munn is saying is true, then yes, her mother DID have anger issues. I don't care what her ethnicity is. No child should have to grow up in an environment of fear. For you to make generalizations about how some ethnic groups care more about their children than others is not only irrational, but ignorant as well. No one ethnic group is "better" than another.

[@marcwatier3259]

***** you dont seem to understand... They dont hit because of anger issue. They hit because they care and for them its the way to educate(not saying its the right way). Its a hard concept to understand when you've never been hit, I've received myself some good ass whooping by my parents and now i'm 20 years old and never would I say they were beating me it was more an education thing.

[@marcwatier3259]

Their way ***

[@evolve749]

Marc Watier Who says I've never been hit? My mom broke a yard stick on my ass when I was 10, and I'll tell you, it wasn't to "educate" me. It was because I was being a little shit at the time and she lost her temper. I know you don't want to call it that, but "beating" is exactly what your parents were doing to you. Think of it this way. If your parents would have done to me, or any other adult, what they did to you, they would have been charged with assault and gone to jail. But because they're your parents, and you're their child, it's permitted. I'll say it again, fear, intimidation and violence have no place in a healthy home environment. I don't care if it's done under the guise of "education".

I'm a child of immigrant parents. I've been hit up until middle school. After that, it was mostly yelling. It's only been done when desperate times called for desperate measures. If you keep doing it, they start to not affect you emotionally as much. That's why if you plan to hit your kids, hit them from a young age rather than all of a sudden and never on the face.

[@BRBallin1]

blehh nahh You need to beat your misbehaving kids once in awhile or else they could walk all over you. Just don't hit them in their face. Shoulders, back, and butt only. Don't hold a grudge longer than a day either. Don't harm them like white people did with slaves lol. Just give them a 1-3 smacks. If you're going to beat your kids, know how to beat them properly and start beating them since kindergarten and stop after middle school lol. If you can discipline them without doing so, go ahead, but beating them is a quick solution rather than giving them sophisticated punishments that take away their privileges. My parents beat me when I did something really bad or didn't listen to their multiple warnings. There were no BS punishments like taking away video games or getting grounded. #beatingyourkids101

My mum punished me with my fathers belt until i was 12. It never saw it as a beating as it was only 1 (one) each time. It is not about causing pain, it is about making you remember why it was occurring. Yes, you do go and sulk plus think of all the bad things you want to happen to them, but looking back I would not have changed anything. If it takes a parent to a point of so much disappointment that they go beyond a mental discipline it causes a child to realize "hey she means this", it works

Ok, she obviously doesn't know about German parents (even ones who have been in this country for generations).

I work at Safeway and I see dozens of kids acting out; being disrespectful because no ever discipline them. There's a big difference between abuse and discipline when it comes to parenting. Granted, I don't have any kids of my own but my dad gave me spanks here and there, and when I think about, I had it coming. I got respect for Munn for telling her story. Have no shame.

I actually agree that her stories come off as exaggerated... I guess I assumed everyone knows that comedians always embellish their stories when they're telling jokes. I just meant that I don't think she made it up whole cloth (or not necessarily anyway). The commenter I replied to seemed to think Munn was straight up lying and there's no reason to assume that's the case.

Just for the record, I've heard and experienced that Hawaiians are the nicest in the group of Asians. No offense to anyone, though. I've always wondered why though? Why are they more considerate, helpful, generous, and caring then most other Asians (Chinese, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Japanese)...?
