Gen Z liberals made it so we can’t spank kids: ‘What’s the better way?’

Lesson learned?

A self-proclaimed Gen X dad from Wisconsin is under fire for his unique method of punishing his 4-year-old son in a “Gen Z world.”

In a nine-minute clip posted to TikTok on Sunday, Derek Longstreth shows son Truman carrying seven filled water jugs back and forth across his yard for allegedly hitting his mom.

“Spanking is out of the question because you libtards made it so we can’t spank our children no more,” Longstreth said in the clip with 1.8 million views.

Longstreth orders his son to walk with one jug to the opposite end of the yard.

“Let’s go, young man,” the father chants. “I love you, just so you know, but you’re not gonna hit your mom.”

Throughout the challenge, Longstreth motivates Truman with positive affirmations.

“You can do it,” he cheers. “Or take your time.”

As he finished a jug drop-off, Longstreth encourages Truman by saying, “I love you, son, but we do not hit women in this family.”

Truman, who is nicknamed “Tbone,” starts to feel discouraged as he faces the other bottles.

“I can’t do it. I can’t do it,” he said before his father reassured him and even promised to help with the last jug.

Following a brief rest, he was ready to finish the challenge, lifting two jugs simultaneously.

On the final leg, his dad says, “Look at that, dude! You did it!”

Longstreth concludes the video by asking his son, “Are you going to hit your mom again?”

Truman responds with, “No. Sorry, mom.”

“I dare him to hit his mom again. He’ll be going ’round the house with the jugs,” Longstreth declares. “I love this little s – – t so much, but the cycle of stupidity stops with me.”

The Post reached out to Longstreth for comment.

The Wisconsin dad defended his parenting style as social media users expressed outrage at the punishment.

“We’re not allowed to spank in the state of Wisconsin because some libtards saying there’s better ways. Well, libtards, what’s the better way?” he asked.

A few people were eager to share their thoughts and suggestions on how he should discipline his son.

“How about no tv, no sweets, something that is usually a privilege,” recommended one person.

“You are the problem as a father. If that’s how you discipline a child, good luck with those prison visits,” added another. “This is abuse.”

Other parents praised Longstreth’s method, calling it “gentle parenting.”

“Good job dad!!! ‘We don’t hit women’ punishment with love. I love it showing values and respect. I love this,” commented one person.

“You, sir have just enlightened me to a new form of punishment for my kids,” another commended.

“I love how you kept telling him you love him meanwhile teaching him there are consequences to his behavior,” admired a third. “This is honestly probably the best and most effective way to discipline your child.”
