A MUM has recalled how she was savagely mum-shamed for not telling her three-year-old off when he wet himself in public. <\/p>\n
Kelsie explained that she follows a gentle parenting approach with her kids. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
So when he had an accident, and also "smushed some food into the carpet", she wasn't about to "punish" him like the other person wanted. <\/p>\n
"That person told me they would have whooped my son's a*s but that's just not me," Kelsie said in a video on her TikTok page. <\/p>\n
"They told me I was a 'bad, selfish mum' for not punishing him.<\/p>\n
"My son's only three, him and I have a good vibe with each other. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"And when my son had the accident in his pants, I told him 'Hey man, it's ok – accidents happen, but next time can you tell Mummy when you have to pee?'"<\/p>\n
As for the food and the carpet, Kelsie said she made him go over, pick the food up and put it in the rubbish. <\/p>\n
"He got upset and started crying, and I told him to sit down, and once he's done crying, we can talk," she said. <\/p>\n
"So about a minute later he stopped crying, came over to me, sat on my lap and we talked about why we don't do that and why we listen to me.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t expect a child to know right and wrong without being taught."<\/p>\n "Yesss!" another added. <\/p>\n "Love hearing this, you stand your ground momma! I\u2019m with you!"<\/p>\n As a third commented: "I\u2019m pregnant right now, and honestly this is what I mean when I say I want to communicate with my future child."<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n "Why does everyone always want to punish a baby?" someone else questioned. <\/p>\n "They are learning still."<\/p>\nA stability moon means friends & family harmony can happen faster than you think<\/h3>\n
