She thinks that the way to toilet teach the baby is with spanking and punishment. She is sick of dirty diapers and four screaming kids and wants everybody to STFU so she can take another bong hit or have another beer (disclaimer: complete speculation).

She has no clue how to be a proper parent, even if she were so inclined (and who's to say?) It was probably never modeled. If the baby soils his diaper, he gets punished. Simple equation for the ignorant.

There's ignorant who don't give a shit and will never improve their lot in life (this woman, probably), and there's ignorant who are doing their damndest to change the circumstances of their lives and the lives of their children. If you know that you do not know, then you have taken the first step on the road out of ignorance.
