Five year olds aren't bad, if they behaved , there is a reason. All behaviour is communication and the adults aren't hearing it. I'm amazed that parents can be so cruel to their children.

The child is 5. If she's acting like a cun.t at school it's because the parents have done a p1ss poor job of raising her to be a decent human being. I agree that bad behaviour shouldn't be rewarded but the child is only acting in a way she has been raised as being acceptable and now suddenly they're going to punish her because acting like a spoilt brat at school isn't acceptable whereas behaving that way at home obviously is. Talk about confusing the child.

If the behavior is that bad, maybe the child needs a professional assessment. There could be developmental issues. Worth ruling out, at least.

What a terrible mother and terrible teacher, nobody should have that much to complain about about a 5 year old. And 5-year-olds are barely even in school they just started so of course they're not perfectly behaved and everything yet. If a five-year-old doesn't behave you figure out why and work on it with them,don't just instantly Go full nuclear punishment. This lady is not a good mom

5 years old. Given the emotional maturity of the mom's video, the apple fell straight down. I remember being pretty s****y as a kid, and it was entirely because my parents were both psychopaths and lazy as f**k when it came to teaching me. I became a better person in spite of them, not because of them. You can't attack a kid because you failed to teach them, it doesn't work. "We don't spank" but you're willing to exploit the power dynamic to abuse them in other ways. Just another dirtbag trying to show a kid "who's boss" instead of being a goddamn parent.

It all starts at home methinks. I also suspect some bad teacher-parent communication and perhaps a lousy teacher. The kid is only 5. If there are behavioral problems, there is a reason. Did the mother just hear about this for the first time? Or was she ignoring it beforehand. SOmething doesn't add up. Mom seems to enjoy denying her Christmas IMHO

When a five year old misbehaves that much there is a big problem with the adults around her. BIG problems. There are either problems at home or at school (abuse, violence, bullying...) despite what the mother says. I don't believe a word the mother says. She sounds like an idiot: "she's embarrassing us at school". No, she's not embarrassing you, she's trying to tell all of you something is not working. Either YOU, the adults, aren't setting the right limits or the right examples, or somebody is harming that child. Do your f*****g job and find out what's happening.

She's five years old, for goodness sake. I wonder when the last time the Mom had a mature, caring conversation with her daughter? Instead, all I see from this post is a head weaving, take no responsibility for the way her daughter is acting. It all starts at home. Teacher is ridiculous. If you don't have the intellect to help guide and nurture this child, you are a joke of an educator. There is alot of ghetto attitude throughout the mothers post. Poor kid. Just show her the right way instead of posting online. Shame on you mom.

This is unintelligible tiktok trash

She's defiant? Good. You're an awful mother.

I think Maddie is modelling her behaviour on Mommy's.

I'd like to see that email. Is it an unhinged teacher who hates that little girl, an unhinged little girl being a brat, or a pi$$ poor mother (who is definitely unhinged in that video)?

There's "normal misbehaving at 5yo" and "spawn of the demon misbehaving". A lot of y'all are quick to put the blame on parents and teachers without knowing what the kid did. Sometimes there's an underlying condition that's no one's fault.

Am I the only one who thinks actions should have consequences here or something?

It is -extremely- possible for a five-year-old to throw temper tantrums, explode, misbehave and become a regular pain in the @$$ for any reason, including just not liking what's going on at school (homework, kids they don't like being around, having to read, not liking certain subjects,) or just because they don't want to do something. The mother has done the right thing by not letting the kid have a Christmas.

I know 2 kids living in the same house. Both were raised the same. 1 kid was really well behaved all the time. I mean NEVER a problem at school or to the parents. The other was basically a terror at school and even worse at home no matter what.The parents tried including counseling. This kid even threw things at the parents and destroyed things in the house. They are family and I was over there more of the time than anyone else and stayed there a lot. This kid didn't care and would brag he ran the house.Im staying with them for a while due to medical issues and some other things and paying them rent so....Let me tell you what they were like as got older,the well behaved one was in honors classes throughout school and is now a lawyer. The problem kid barely graduated and has to work 2 jobs,still lives at home,no they aren't violent but are still rude to the parent, especially because there's only 1 left now, selfish and won't help around the house at all Catch this behavior early.

Y'all will go in on anyone about anything in these comments, there is literally nothing wrong with this. It was meant to be a funny video about a child misbehaving, and a punishment to help correct it. I highly doubt that a 50 page or even a five page email was sent it was just theatrics. Stop acting as though this was some big abusive thing it’s not and has been done by many parents before her and will be done by many after. Stop the fake uncessarry outrage.
