Hot Saucing
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
It’s whats known online as “The Worst Mom Punishment Ever”. Instead of washing your mouth out with soap, some mom’s choose to make their kid EAT HOT SAUCE!
I think it’s pretty effective. A) it can’t cause injury B) It causes a reasonable amount of discomfort C) It would make me remember EXACTLY what I did wrong.
Supernanny Jo Frost though says otherwise. She says it’s child abuse and irresponsible parenting.
I’m sorry, what??? Here’s a link to the story on CNN.
HOT SAUCING CHILD ABUSE???
Let us know what you think. Is this child abuse??


The biggest mistake I made was to shout “child abuse” when my mom was disciplining me. Her response was very calm: “You want child abuse? I’ll show you child abuse.” Needless to say, I did not want to see child abuse.With all the weird chemicals in most household soap, I would imagine that hot sauce is much safer. It would be hard to convince me that hot sauce for punishment is child abuse.
