Am I wrong?

My friend tells her two almost 3 year old daughter to hit people because she thinks it's cute/funny. She will go "Isabella (her daughter) hit them!" and her daughter will punch/slap whoever her mother says to hit, and my friend will laugh and smile and/or say something like "good girl" or "you get them osabella!". Today, my friend came up to me when I was sitting and she was holding her daughter on her hip. She came up to me and told her daughter to hit me and she did. I yelled at her and her daughter. I said "Isabella you do NOT hit people!" and then I told my friend she shouldn't teach her daughter such nasty behavior. She thinks it's so funny and adorable, but I think it's disgusting that she tells her to and then applauds her for doing so? Maybe I'm over reacting. Idk.

No, the mother is an idiot. What kind of person teaches their child to hit someone else? It’s not cute and it will teach the child that physical violence is ok, even when she’s on the receptive end. I don’t understand why the mother is doing this unless she really is just a dummy with no maternal common sense

She shouldn’t be your friend if she thinks that’s ok...that’s a horrible thing to teach a child. It’s teaching her it’s ok to treat people like that because it’s “funny” to do. If that’s the way she raises her daughter it will come back to bite her in the ass when she grows up and treats her own mother that way.

Wow. We wouldn’t be friends anymore. People become friends because they have things in common. I can’t imagine the two of you having many goals or ideas or too much in common if she’s on this crazy wavelength. What she is teaching her daughter is awful and could follow her for life. I can’t remember if your post said you had any kids or not, but I wouldn’t want this lady around my kids in case her awful teachings start to wear off on my kids. I can’t even understand why she would think this would be okay. You are Not over reacting. I’d be done with this woman.
