"Don't Kick That ..."

Today I saw a kid kick an item that was on the floor. His mother's response? "Don't kick that so hard."

"Don't kick that so hard"? How about: "Don't kick that." Period. Full stop. Don't. Kick. That.

The tone of voice she used was even worse. There was no authority, no command, no disapproval, no reprimand, and no expectation of obedience.

It's tough being a liberal mom. Your kids run your life. Or should I say, ruin your life. So sad. :(
