Mother-of-five, 30, receives backlash for admitting to spanking her children to discipline them and giving her two-year-old chores

A mother has sparked online debate after revealing that she disciplines her children with physical punishment when they misbehave.

Brittney Coble, a 30-year-old resident of the Pacific North-West, shared a TikTok video discussing her ‘controversial views on parenting’, which garnered more than 16,000 views.

The stay-at-home mother of five children enforces strict gender-based upbringing for her sons and daughter, giving them all household chores. However, she does not only reveal that she spanks her children.

Some commenters were immediately taken aback by the discipline Brittney used with her children, while others commended her for being a stern parent.

Spanking minors as a form of punishment is legally allowed across the United States, as long as it does not fall into the category of abuse.

In her video, Brittney started by saying, “I’ve already thought about why I hate moms on TikTok the most, especially when they talk about things their kids do on the platform, which I’ve seen as a trending topic.”

‘One, as you can already surmise, is I discipline my children.

Explaining that she will try to reason with her children beforehand, the mother revealed she only uses force as a last resort.

I always expect you to listen to me the first time I ask, but if I have to ask two or three times, I will always give them a verbal warning instead of blatantly ignoring you and getting mad at you for not doing what I’ve already explained to you and what you need to do.

“That is simply the way things are.”

‘Firstly, my children have responsibilities, my kids are two, four, six, eight, ten.

I simply guide them back on track if they become slightly deviated, but I assign them small tasks and the children aged two and four become a bit unfocused.

‘However, my elder offspring, they possess duties suitable for their age. They sanitize the restroom, remove the waste, wash the dishes–they provide a valuable input.’

‘Additionally, I do not restrict their usage of screens as long as they have completed their homework and chores.

‘Lastly, I am raising my sons as boys and my daughter as a girl, without any doubts.’

Some commentators were appalled and believed that Brittney’s approach was needlessly severe.

One person said: ‘So, you don’t know how to properly teach your kids and install wisdom in them without using violence. Nice.’.

Expressing: ‘You disgust me. It is desirable that your children will be removed from your custody and placed in a nurturing household. Certainly not a household characterized by aggression,’ while another believed she should be prohibited from being a guardian.

‘When I was young, I experienced a lot of physical challenges. As a result, I hold no admiration for my father’s actions, and I refuse to replicate them with my own children. Another individual utilized their own childhood encounters to criticize her approach.’

Other people, however, thought Brittney was doing a great job at being a mother and admitted to physically disciplining their children, too.

A person exclaimed, ‘At last, I am on the correct side of TikTok’.

While another concurred, exclaiming: ‘Oh my goodness, at last a parent who actually fulfills their parental duties’.

Another individual stated: ‘Indeed, madam! Educating them to make a positive impact and not cause trouble!’.

Mail Online contacted Brittney for a statement, and she replied, ‘Spanking is not regarded as mistreatment. I unequivocally do not mistreat my kids.

‘I do, however, enforce discipline with my children. In a world where discipline is disapproved of.

‘I’m raising my children to be good, kind, loving, children Who will one day grow up to be responsible, hard-working, respectable adults.’.
