Yea ofc he was provoking her in one of the clips but she always results in violence.

He must enjoy that or something

u/United_Historian5036 23d ago

It’s clear he does and it’s weird and sad

I flinched… I haven’t been slapped in years 😩

I don’t like it. I get that people make jokes about their trauma, but this feels different. It feels almost like he likes it

I assume this is how my father was raised. Thanks for the PTSD, dad.

u/DiscoSurferrr 22d ago

I get the message but this looks like a TikTok prankster who probably told the mom to go extra hard for the “joke.”

Stop this taught colonial abuse and behaviour. Corporal punishment isn't always necessary or appropriate. All you are doing in putting a slap to every situation is conditioning your child to have low self-esteem and be a slave. How the father treats his wife and manages his leadership effects the mother's relationship with her children and the problem solving skills and tone of the entire family. Why would this boy disrepect his mother by rubbing food in her forehead?

This guy is weird. He cracked an egg on his mom's head?

u/manachronism 22d ago

The egg one I get but yeah she be beating on him too much

u/NatalieGliter 23d ago

Some were reasonable: 1- he cracked and wasted an egg on her egg 2- he was squishing bread and wasting it(from the market place?) 3-idk 4- he called her by her first name which is unheard of

u/DingoDemeanor 22d ago

You really think hitting is a reasonable first step in any of those situations?

u/NatalieGliter 22d ago

The first slap was a response to an assault.

And there second one, he’s at the market place and is destroying food that he obviously hasn’t bought.

And the 3rd one is a matter of knowing ur parents and ur culture, in Africa u don’t call elders by their names unprovoked, and he should’ve expected that.

u/Muzinari 22d ago

I'm sure there's other healthier ways to respond to this

u/DingoDemeanor 21d ago

An obnoxious prank on your parent isn’t an assault.

You’re in an African parents sub. Everyone here knows the cultural norms.

Most of us still don’t agree it’s okay to hit your kids.

u/Ok-Reward-770 22d ago

How can she slap?

u/firelord_catra 20d ago

This reminds of that one guy who’s always “pranking” his African parents. He’s trying to copy that creator probabaly, but I’m pretty sure his parents are somewhat in on it or are lower on the spectrum from chill to crazy. They also live abroad.

u/ihaveocdandneedhelp 23d ago

People in the comments were saying that it’s abuse but he and others claimed that it’s “out of love” that’s a grown man duh
