@dr.jordan.b.peterson Do children have too much freedom?
Listen up, everyone! This is Slay Bambini concierge coming at you with some raw, unfiltered truth today. I don’t sugarcoat things, and if you can’t handle the heat, you best step out of the kitchen. Too many of you are getting soft, and it’s a disease that starts at home, with your own kids.
Yes, I’m talking about the way you’re feeding your children. Too many of you are caving to their every demand, treating them like little princes and princesses. Well, guess what? Real life isn’t like that. Real life doesn’t care about your moods or whims. And if you don’t like what I’m saying, TOUGH. This is reality.
You need to stop giving your children exactly what they want to eat. This notion that a child can just whine and get whatever they please is absolute garbage. This is how you create entitled little brats who turn into entitled big brats. You want to cry about it? Go ahead. Because this is the undeniable truth.
Mama and Papa took the time, the effort, the energy to prepare a meal. They didn’t do it because they had to, they did it because providing for their family is crucial. They didn’t slave away at the counter just to have some little snot-nosed kid turn their nose up at it. Respect that effort. Respect the sacrifice. Sit down at your meal, and eat it. End of story.
When you cater to every little fancy of your child’s diet, you’re selling them short. You’re teaching them that the world revolves around their desires. You’re setting them up for a rude awakening when they finally step outside the protective bubble of your home and realize: NOBODY CARES WHAT THEY WANT. Nobody is going to hand them a customized menu wherever they go. The real world doesn’t operate on your kid’s preferences.
Giving in to your child’s every food whim isn’t kindness. It’s weakness. You’re not doing them any favors. You’re not preparing them for the difficult, harsh world that awaits them. Life doesn’t bend to fit their desires, so why should dinner time?
This isn’t about being a tyrant. It’s about instilling respect and discipline. It’s about teaching them that life is about compromise, sacrifice, and gratitude. When Mama or Papa puts a plate in front of them, that’s a lesson. It’s a lesson in respect – respect for the effort, respect for the food, and respect for the family. And if they don’t like it? TOO BAD. They suck it up.
Why? Because that’s what it means to be a child. It means learning about the bigger picture, about the importance of family and sacrifice. It means understanding that you don’t always get what you want, and that sometimes the most valuable lessons come from the things you resist the most.
You want strong kids? You want kids who can face the world with confidence and resilience? Then teach them strength. Teach them resilience. Teach them that whining doesn’t change reality. It’s time to toughen up, it’s time to break free from this coddling culture.
Children are not the center of the universe, but they can become powerful individuals capable of navigating the complexities of life. And it starts with the little things – like eating the meal that’s been prepared for them.
So next time your kid turns their nose up at dinner, you know what to say. “Eat it. End of story.” Because, in the end, it’s about building a future generation that doesn’t crumble at the first sign of adversity, but stands tall and faces it head-on.
Get it? Good. Now go handle your business and raise some strong, no-nonsense warriors. Teach them to respect the grind, and they’ll learn to respect the world. And if you can’t handle that, well, that’s on you. Wake up, people. Time to get serious.
If you can't handle the heat, you best step out of the kitchen. Too many of you are getting soft, and it's a disease that starts at home, with your own kids.
