Stop being such a dumb bitch that even a 5-year-old kid can correct you?

I noticed that the question keeps talking about 'my spouse'. Not 'my husband', or even 'his father'. Speaks volumes, doesn't it?

I've noticed this phenomenon among my lefty family and coworkers. They all started calling their significant others "partners" instead of wives/husbands or girlfriends/boyfriends. Super creepy.

Not as bad as the time I watched a pregnant couple correct their older child when he incorrectly referred to their unborn child as his "brother" - because the child wasn't a child until it was born. Imagine being a kid, knowing that your mom is carrying your sibling, and then being forced to call your unborn brother a fetus. All to reinforce the "right" politics for a fucking six year old.

Well, they could decide for a late term abortion. Wouldn't sit right with the kid when you have to tell him you just murdered his brother. /s

Wait until he gets a bit older and realizes that that works backwards to him as well. Might as well just say "Remember son, you weren't human to us until we had to sign the paperwork."

Leave Tyrone out of this.

because he is 4 and these are often topics that we have a Ph.D. in.

It's sad how "educated" people are some of the most ignorant morons alive. The older I get the more I look down on people with "higher" education.

In these particular fields, feminist cunts think they've cracked the code for raising children, which is something "stupid" people have been doing effectively for tens of thousands of years.

The way a child acts is usually learned by how their parents act before them. If he's trying to be bossy and explain everything, you have to wonder where he learned that from.

Also if you punish your child for trying to explain himself and converse with you, he's going to become asocial and hate you later in life. In about 10 years she's going to be upset why he never wants to talk to her.

Am I raising a mansplainer? My son is almost 5, and he has always been very voluble and also willful. For the past few months, he has taken to interrupting us when we are talking and saying, “Actually! Actually, …” He does this to both me, his mother, and to his father, my spouse.

Well, the real question--is he actually right when he explains this to you? If so, then you just got to learn something new. If not, then fix that problem. Oh wait, nevermind, you don't like it because he's got a penis.

I'm sure their solution will just be to cut off the penis.

Murder suicide has been proven 100% effective at preventing mansplaining. It is selfish to leave your family behind, so bring them with you.

Teach him not to interrupt like any decent parent teaching a child to be polite. But you could also learn that manspaining isn't a thing and that anyone who thinks it is most likely isn't worth talking to.

But no, these parents will destroy theis kid's confidence entirely and then wonder why he turns into a woman-hating NEET.

For context, he has trouble with impulsivity, emotional control, and paying attention to instructions both at home and at school.

He's a boy, quick, diagnose him with a mental illness so we don't feel bad about our shitty parenting skills!

Another tribe member. I'm shocked. The next generation of the tribe are going to be even worse by the looks of things.
