So my question is - what do you think about him being punished for this? Bear in mind that the mother’s ideal punishment is actually a punishment, not simply talking to him about it. She spanks the kid with a ping-pong paddle, and I wouldn’t doubt that she’s done it for these issues in the past.ĭo you guys think that it’s inappropriate for a kid that young to be experimenting with other kids as long as it’s totally consentual and in private? Do you think it’s worthy of a punishment, or at least a scolding?
Honestly, one of my biggest fears is that the boy is gay and when he grows up, he’ll look back on his babysitters punishing him for wanting to explore his sexuality as something that traumatized him. If he is gay, I would love for my friend and I to be people that he can look to for understanding amongst a very much anti-gay family.
