Do you find humour in a child being discplined?

Post Reply New Topic

*doesn't get any responses.* LOL! I've always as long as I can remember laugh when either my little sisters/nephew get into trouble. IMO since the nephew is 2 it's still that cute phase (or atleast that's how I feel) for my two little sister's it's a you shouldn't of done that laugh (Basically it's your own fault so it's kind of funny) Mostly the tantrums are funny since they are over blown over something so small and seeing things esculate from don't want to do my homework to mom yelling at one of the little sisters and spanking them over something so small (once again.) I don't understand why I do this and sadly it pushes me away (and family wonders why I don't like being around them at times well I'm ALWAYS going to laugh when a child gets into trouble! My only rule exception is mainly if that other person gets hurt. Any tips or views on this issue would be appreciated.

u could wiew your self as silly old aunt who aint taking llife too seriously

What a sadist...

Laughing at ourselves together can sometimes be helpful, but laughing at someone's pain can only hurt and alienate. Maybe you could try to help the younger children learn the character and responsibility they need in order to stay out of trouble.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. How funny.

Do you find humor in everything that you laugh at?
For me, there are lots of things that I laugh or giggle at that I don't actually find humor in. Sometimes it's just not knowing how to react. Other times it's an inappropriate reaction. (I'm not sure if those two are different things.)

My point being that, despite what many people will tell you and yell at you about, just because you laugh at something doesn't necessarily mean you find it funny.

Just a little something to lighten the mood:

Ive laughed at some very inappropriate things in the past. I dont any more. Not little children but other things. An AS trait I guess. It had gotten me in trouble in the past. I once even had a boyfriend dump me because of it. He was no fun anyway

(This!! !! !) I react to the situation wrong it's not LOL funny for a child getting into trouble for the 2 year old it's still kind of cute IMO and the older sisters you should have known better IMO. My parents hate that I do it though but there remarks IMO isolate me (and they wonder why I'm depressed at times DUH!! !! !! !! !!)

1:Laughing is a reflex action. Not always of humour. Intense threat can lead to paniced laughter.
2:It could be it's kinda sadistic, seeing the hammer of authority being thumped upon the heads of people you hate. This is very mean. Not evil, but almost. Careful.

Take yer pick.

I don't. It brings back too many bad memories for me. My past is discussed in The Haven.

That's nothing to do with finding it funny or finding humor in it, though, it's just inappropriate expression. My mother has a nearly permanent look of disgust on her face. If I try to figure out why she feels that way, it's useless, because it's an inappropriate facial expression, not a real one. If you try to interpret it as an actual feeling, you're reading into things that just aren't there, and you're missing even more, because the inappropriate expression is not an actual reflection of something that's actually there-- it's just an inappropriate expression. Facial expressions (and other expressions I guess) that are in-congruent with actual emotion are pretty characteristic of ASDs. If you try to judge them as though they're reflective of an actual feeling, you're going even more off-track. You can't try to analyze why you find something funny for having a look on your face as though you thought it were funny, if you don't actually find it funny in the first place.

My son does this often when his sister gets in trouble. He also does this if HE gets in trouble. I am taking it as he doesn't know how to react at that moment.

Thanks Maggiedoll. Good point.

I was thinking the same thing.
I don't see how it's funny or laughable when children get spanked, yelled, at hit for being bad.If you grew up in an abusive home, you'd understand why.
You sound sadistic.
