Ok but real talk

Why do parents think being mean is going to make me better and not hate them in the future. Like whats the thought process because this is a genuine question is it like
"oh you must be crying because you dont get enough sleep cuz youre always on that darn phone so let me take it away and everything else that makes you happy!"
No miss. gurl its cuz ur an awful parent!





side note: my phone got taken away :)
