Transcript excerpt

A lot of people were mad at me the other day because I wasn't gentle parenting my non gentle child. We tier at street hockey. And he was being a poor teammate and a sore loser. Stomping his feet and he was being a best. And I told him to go stand with his tier. And I tried to be nice and he said, no. And so I in kid friendly terms, I don't remember the words I said, but I basically told him to shut the frick up and go the frick rank stand over with this frickin' team. Okay? And a bunch of people on here were like, how dare you do that to him? So what would you like me to do? While his whole team's standing over tier, trying hard to win, and my seven year old is by mommy's side stomping his feet because he's losing. You want me to hug him? Congratulate him? No, ma'am. Not around here, partner.
