If one separated parent wants an important document, and the other parent doesn't feel it's safe to put in the child's school bag, who do you think should make the effort to provide the document?

There's not really any middle ground between the two

Do you think spanking (bare handed) your child is appropriate discipline for this incident?

I do NOT want to start a online argument. But today l had the cops called on me after disciplining my 4 year old on a public beach. And l would like your opinions. Heres what happened

We played,swam... for about 4 hours prior to this. She would not leave someone else's beach toys alone after telling her multiple times no that's not ours do not touch it. If you touch it you will go into timeout. Do not touch it that's not ours. And she touched the toys. So l picked her up and started carrying her back to the our table. I held her under her arms back against me. (She was throwing her arms and legs the whole time) Maybe 50ft. There l placed her on our outdoor rug and told her she needed to stay. She got up and started back to the beach. I then picked her back up and sat her back down. She got up again and started l then did the 1 2 3's with her and told her that she needed to come back and sit on the rug. (The rug is 10ft by 10ft.) She then went over the stream/puddle and started running to the beach. I then pick her up and brought her back and then put her on the rug more stern like NO SIT DOWN. She then decided to take sticks and start forcefully poking me with them. I told her no that is not nice please stop. She kept doing it. I would take the stick she was poking me with and she would grab another. After the 3d time I told her if she kept poking me she was going to get a spanking. And she poked me again. So I stood up (I was sitting at the table she was on the rub on the ground) and gave her three spankings. My hand went about a foot and then back down. She cried for a second and then sat on the rug quietly and had her timeout.

Long story short some family was upset about it and decided to come over and tell us how we were abusing our kid and then they called the cops on me. The cops did a investigation. Watched the video the family took of me and the facility cameras and talked with several surrounding people and came to the conclusion that l was in my right of disapline standards and gave me a disordery conduct warning. Anyway do you think l disciplined my child apparently? Or do you think l abused her?

This isn’t even the full video, but it’s part of an argument that started over my boyfriend spending the night and ended up getting completely out of hand. The guy in the orange shirt (my mom’s boyfriend) said a racial slur. Mind you, our son was in the room during all of this. My mom kept telling me to take him into another room, but if I had done that, I wouldn’t have any evidence of what was being said and how the situation actually went down.

Should I do it or wait?

Tomorrow morning I’m scheduled to have 4 teeth taken out 2 molars and 2 wisdom teeth. My dentist isn’t putting me to sleep but will just numb the area. They said I should be able to drive myself home. My only problem is, I have no family here all my family lives 8+ hours away and I go back to work 2 days later. Should I wait till the end of the year when I move back home next to family to get them removed? I’m not in pain or anything at the moment but they do need to be removed it’s been long over due. I’m terrified of the aftercare being alone with 2 kids & having to work. I do wfh & one of my kids is a teenager but still it’s scary to think about recovering without any help.

So my dude he laughing he think it’s funny when I’m mad an when he make me mad like it’s a joke what can I do

I usually throw his stuff outside but I think I need a new change like I usually just throw somthing of his out but that doesn’t seem to work like he call me toxic an I’m tryna not be toxic an it irritate me when he laughing thinking it’s funny when I’m mad bc he made me mad at him
