Roughhousing Lessons from Dad
- M8 11y agoSingle parents should be punished by the law.
- golergka 11y agoWat.
- pjc50 11y agoYeah, that's the most offensive comment I've seen on HN in a while that hasn't been rapidly flagged off the page.
- M8 11y agoIt's controversial, not offensive. Of course it would have to be a whole set of measures with punishment being the last resort.
- M8 11y agoWhy should the kids suffer? One parent is not enough for a healthy upbringing.
- EGreg 11y agoHow am I able to see what flagged comments had said?

- glaberficken 11y agoI have a 4 yo daughter and it's funny because I do this type of play instinctively (also my daughter simply loves it, and is always asking to do it again). feels like a really natural innate thing really...
- VLM 11y ago""it does baffle me" that her husband enjoys getting the children so excited, she says. At times, she adds, "I have to leave the room. It's such an intuitive thing, to not want to tolerate the sounds of your kids screaming."" They tried to over formalize and "other" it with games I've never heard of. I got my kids all wound up and shrieking by playing traditional tag, peekaboo, hide and seek (hide and go boo is way funnier)... and my wife hated it because good luck getting a swarm of screaming little kids to take a bath 5 minutes later or go to bed or pretty much obey anything their mom says until the adrenaline rush wears off. Once they get older and start playing among themselves, I want to leave the room once they start screaming too, that noise can just be annoying unless you're participating in the game.
- sp332 11y agoThey're not formalizing the games, they're just making names for categories of games. And they're not assigning games to play with specific rules. I never played sock wrestling growing up, but it is pretty popular.
