Steem engagement challenge-S12/W4|My statements about the proverb-"It's good to be bad."

Proverbs are often metaphorical and open to a wide range of interpretation. Thanks to the contest guidelines and the introductory statement, the correct context for this proverb is obvious, especially in the upbringing of children. Sometimes our action may look and feel bad but in the long run turns out for good.

Share your statements about a proverb-"It's good to be bad."

I totally agree with the idea that if proper discipline will make you look bad in the eyes of your kids, then "It's good to be bad". From experience, my mother was the disciplinarian back then and it was not fun at all. Mother was quick to carry the cain and we disliked her for that at least that is what we thought, but we grow up to love her the most. And it is now that I have kids of my own that I tend to appreciate her the most.

Do not get intimidated by the fear that your kids will hate you. It's like they were wired to love those who chastise them to the proper degree.

Do you think sometimes we need to be a bit harsh if it is for our loved ones' betterment? Justify your point.

Yes, I believe we sometimes have to be a bit harsh for the good of our loved ones. To mate out the proper degree of discipline, some parents have had to do things that makes them look bad, some may have to be harsh or fake being harsh just to send the right message, or express dissatisfaction.

Your kids may not like it right now, but when they grow up, they will thank you for being bad as it resulted in the most good. As long as your being bad was motivated by love, it often results in good. When a child is grounded and asked to stay indoors as punishment, it's being bad. It is one way to be good to the child.

Have you ever been bad for others for their betterment? Share if there any incident you have.

Yes I have been in situations where I had to be bad for the good of my loved ones. I often shout at my kids when at home and make the sit down still for five minutes. While they don't really like it and others feel I am being too harsh on them.
The results of my seemingly harsh training makes my kids able to respond to instructions and facial expressions that expresses disapproval.

In another instance when I was at work, some workers asked me to sponsor their Launch. I told them launch was not part of my responsibility which was true. So they individually ordered their launch and when it was supplied, it paid for it.
Because they thought they will be paying for their launch, they all ordered for what they can pay for, avoiding whet we locally call awoff. (Over consuming just because it is sponsored by someone else).
The lesson was simple, you should only ear what you can lay for.

I will love to call on @udyliciouz @bela90 @jozzie90 to participate in this contest
