JD is an outhouse of a human being but this sounds like regular parenting shit that occasionally happens. I have a nephew who has definitely needed to be told to shut the hell up occasionally.
- "Shut the hell up" is not an appropriate way to quiet a child, from infancy to adulthood. It's rude and causes more issues than it solves.
  
  Probably not ideal parenting but this is pretty low on the fucked upness meter. Especially for the couch fucker.
  
  I remember being noisy and loud while was dad was working and he shouted “shut the hell up”
  
  It wasn’t out of anger or hatred, I was just being an annoying kid running around the house.
  
  It’s fine.
  
  How many children do you have?
  
  I Don't even tell that to a dog.
- As a father I often find it difficult not to swear in front of my children. However, I never swear directly at my children. Very inappropriate use of language , that to me signals potential abuse. Can you imagine how a father like that would respond if his child uses the same words at him?
  
  The internet: Fucking shitass swear words lul. They're just words like any other.
  
  Also the internet: Think of the children when you say naughty bad words! Also show them all the tits and naked europe but never violence or death either!
- This is not it.
- This is wrong. But it's good you talked it out and learned better, now.
I posted this over on /c/news and honestly, I don't think it's that bad. Dude gets a call saying "hey, wanna be my vice president?" and his 7 year old won't shut up about Pikachu? "Shut the hell up for 30 seconds, daddy is on the most important phone call of his life" is really not that crazy of a thing to say. We don't have kids (yet) but I feel like every parent has had that moment in their life, no?
- The fact that he was fine sharing this story publicly and didn't see a problem says a lot about how he treats his kids behind the scenes
  
  IDK, it's relatable. It's probably the most non-weird thing about him I've heard this week. Or, like, ever.
- When you're a Dad, you need to remember that you're always leading by example, and so it's important to rise to the moment, especially in those "most important" moments. You are yur child's universe, and how you speak & interact sets the tone for this future interactions.
  
  Patience and respect are learned skills. Kids learn by watching.
  
  So, you're a parent? And you have never once had a bad moment like that with your kid? Like never yelled at them in a high stress moment even once?
Ladles & Gentlemen, this is your GOP: the party of Family Values!
