6-year-old wrongfully accused of stealing neighbor’s bike, strict father makes him apologize anyway for ‘refusing to obey,’ mother steps in: “You want to punish him for telling the truth?”

Hey there, people of the internet. There's no way around the hustle and bustle of daily life. We get so flustered in our own lives, family dynamics, work, fighting with partners, that we can act out of line sometimes. It's surprising how many decent and functional people actually are on the planet considering how chaotic life can sometimes be. Juggling all these things, while still managing to maintain a sense of composure and maturity isn't easy to do. This is bound to affect one's parenting, when there are screaming and misbehaving children on top of everything else.

Parenting is one of the hardest things to do. Don't worry, no matter how many books you read on parenting, or classes you take, or advice you get, there's nothing that can prepare you for the world of parenting.

In the story below, the protagonist is a woman whose son is 6-years-old, and he's a good kid. He's not a brat, and shouldn't be treated as such. Her husband and her don't exactly see eye to eye on parenting, but you'll have to read the full story below for all the juicy details.

AITAH for telling my husband I’d rather raise a kid who stands up for themselves than one who blindly obeys?

This man sounds like a nightmare. He wants his poor, innocent 6-year-old to apologize even though he didn't do anything wrong? He's acting like a totalitarian dictator instead of a father to a very young boy. Who wants to bet she divorces him in a few years?
