Do not use your child as a shield when your partner/spouse hits you. This isn't going to make the person stop hitting you. It's only going to put the child in danger.

Telling your 5 year old that she has to protect Mommy from Daddy's fists? Holding the baby up in hopes that you won't get hit? Expecting your 8 year old to defend you from your abusive spouse? Worst fucking idea ever.

I wish I could tell you this was a joke. But I seriously hear this shit way too much and it really makes me wonder about the people out there.

Bastards.

This is very frightening. It's too bad there aren't giant cupcakes for people to hit.

It's too bad there aren't giant cupcakes to squash on people. The world would be happier.
