If it is they need to be nominated for an oscarSeems staged.
How do you do that? Especially when the child is belligerent as this one.What that child needs is not dhaqan celis and to be beaten by a hose, but to learn to appreciate her hooyo and that acting like a brat will not make her life easier and the ones around her any happier.
My parents never beat me growing up. My mother was religiously against it and would rant about how a child is innocent and defenseless and it is a cowardly and cruel thing to wail on them. She once even nearly threw hands with her own sister when she caught her beating her son in our house. Despite this I still respected my parents and hooyo simply threatening to tell aabo about my shenanigans would fill me with a cold terror.

There are loads of clever psychological ways to project strength and command at your children without even having to raise your voice or strike them. My father's favorite go to was to threaten to ship me off to the baadiyo.
"Oh? You don't want to go to school? No problem, wallahi. -Mother's name-, lets cut him a ticket for Mudug or Bari. He can go live with the nomads in tents out in the desert and fight off snakes and live on sparse helpings of milk. Wallahi, I'm all for it. Toughen you up. City life making you soft. Pack your bags. No school for you, as you said."

You are right, should’ve never been recorded. I’d really like to know what she thought this would achieveThis is a strange thing to record and post online. Keep your family’s private business offline.
The fact the mother is comfortable recording and embarrassing this child tells me everything I need to know.
What are these “boundaries”? This child refused to come down for diner and when the mother enters the room, the child throws a tantrum about privacy. Should the mother just left the child alone and respect her “privacy” even though the child is clearly not respecting the mother? What is the limit to these boundaries and do they even have limits? What happens when the child’s boundaries infringe on the ability of the mother/father to parentAnd what is wrong with a child setting boundaries? Boundaries are something Somali parents never heard of. This kind of entitled attitude towards the children only breeds resentment from the children. Leave them alone when they set boundaries, speak to them with respect, and maybe just maybe the child will trust and respect you in return and follow your requests.
Physical discipline is not abuse but there is a fine line. I was physically disciplined and so was every other kid I know and we turned out fineOf course the first thing some of you jumped to was child abuse and dhaqan celis. It’s like you don’t want to break the cycle of toxicity from your parents.
Yours is an interesting take. The issue of 'boundaries' is a worthy topic of discussion, perhaps as time permits. In the interim, could you elaborate re: boundaries for kids?And what is wrong with a child setting boundaries? Boundaries are something Somali parents never heard of. This kind of entitled attitude towards the children only breeds resentment and rebellion from the children. Leave them alone when they set boundaries, speak to them with respect, and maybe just maybe the child will trust and respect you in return and follow your requests. You don’t gain trust and obedience through violence and fear. Read a book on child development. Or take a f*cking class.
One of my earliest dua’a used to be that Allah didn’t turn me into a female because I once heard my aunt threaten my cousin about putting bisbas on her siil. All the memories are just rushing through rnMy parents rarely beat me, but my hooyo used to put hot sauce in my mouth if i didn't act right.
If you ask me, i would pick getting beat over that anyday. That was not fun at all.

many people say there mothers did that to them. it sound crazy and absurd like cant that cause health issuesLOOOOL crazy i doubt your aunt would ever do that. They have a way with scaring people into acting straight
They definitely are joking. But to me It didn't cause any health problems. It happened only a few, like 2-3 times to me and the spicy hot sensation in my mouth wore off after a few hours.many people say there mothers did that to them. it sound crazy and absurd like cant that cause health issues![]()
no I'm talking about what @Gacmeey said. All of them that say this threat was carried out on them can't all be lyingThey probably joking. But to me It didn't cause any health problems. It happened only a few, like 2-3 times to me and the spicy hot sensation in my mouth wore off after a few hours.
But it was enough for me to not mess about anymore. The bisbas was more about creating the threat of it in your head.
What the effing ^ell, Is this a thing? What sort of a family is that?I once heard my aunt threaten my cousin about putting bisbas on her s**l.
