I have NEVER heard of anyone doing this before and I think it is absolutely wild BUT I can see how it could be effective too! I can’t wait for you to read how Rosario Dawson’s mother used to "punish" her.
“My mom licked me – - that was her punishment. If I was a little uppity or if I didn’t listen or if she wanted to get my attention, she’d lick the side of my face or under my armpit. My mom’s a six-foot-tall amazon and she’d say, ”You came out of my vagina and I own every part of you,” and she’d lick me like I was her wee pup and she was a lioness. It was humiliating and really intense. Very primal. It’s not spanking, but it definitely works.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? Fess us – is this a tactic you use? Have you seen this happen to a child in public? I can’t get over this. LOL
Rosario is pictured at the 6th Annual Global Green Pre-Oscar Party in LA where celebrities like Maria Menounos arrived in “clean diesel” style with the Volkswagen Jetta TDI (2009 Green Car of the Year). Nice to see bigger companies taking steps to ensure a cleaner planet.

oh my gosh, I think I would be traumatized and disturbed if my mom would lick my face or my armpit! That is just too weird. I would FREAK! Gross!
Brilliant! I do the same with my 11 year old daughter! Works every time…Just the face though! No armpit action. Yuckie!
Too funny!!
Armpit licking, not so much, can you imagine licking a 12 year old boys’ armpit, yuck!!!!
I can imagine it would work on 8 years and older, but I would have to be REALLY desperate to lick my child if he misbehaves….
“You came out of my vagina and I own every part of you”? Uh, NO. That is disturbingly abusive.
LOL – too funny. At least it worked and she had a mother who would discipline her when required. When you don’t discipline, you end up the the kind of children who are running around today. They are not afraid of authority and and little or no manners.
My mother used to tell my siblings and I “I brought you into the world, I can take you out.” and we would laugh. However, as a parent it makes sense now.
Myself, I am a fan of the nose flick. It worked great to cure my teenage daughter of her little swearing issue at home. A little flick to the nose was all it took.
Oh, it is not. Why do some of you take everything so damn literally? It’s tongue in cheek humor used to make a point….that I’m your Mom and you need to listen to me and respect me. Why do some people insist on interpreting everything as ‘abuse’?
Calling that abuse is absolutely ridiculous.
In fact, it is abusive that people abuse the word abuse by claiming something is abuse or abusive when it is clearly not.
lol, yep. I think it’s creative.
My ex boyfriend used to do that to me when we wrestled for fun. It was his ultimate finishing move because he knew I hate having my face licked. D=
If I did that to my son (2 yr old) he would crack up and think I’m playing and do it back to me…lol
what in the holly hell? i’m not licking anythings armpit i dont care of it poppped out of my vjayjay or not thats just gross.
I dont know what is weirder, the fact that her mom licked her or the comment she would make about owning every part of her?? Oh well, whatever works for some people.
it would have been effective for me…I hate being licked…my younger sister still threatens to lick me to get me to do what she wants
haha I think it’s hilarious! Gross but hilarious. I’d never use that tactic though…
actually, i have licked my kids (but only on the cheek or nose)! its quick, catches the person by surprise and is usually quite effective in ending an argument rather quickly!
my son is almost 15 & towers over me. . .the other day he was hollering about something ridiculous and I bent over (he was sitting at the time), licked him on the cheek and walked out of the room without saying a word. about 10 minutes later he came over to me and apologized. see. . .effective!
Agreed. If I thought she might’ve meant it seriously (as in, if this was a case of child homicide or something), I’d be disturbed. But it’s a mom thing, not abusive.

My mom used to do the same thing. Not often, and with a bit of “I’m bigger than you so do as I say” humorous way about her. I hated it, but she got her point across and it worked =P Anything cant be seen as abuse, but some things are just.. creative and good parenting =P
That is funny! Bet that made little Rosario listen! Lol!
I think the people that think that is “abuse” are the people that dont dicipline their children at all.
I bite my cat back when she bites me. Is that the same?
Ew, that’s gross.
Truly disgusting.
I think it’s hilarious! Well the armpit part is gross but overall it’s pretty funny! Poor Rosario!
are you guys kidding me some of these comments are heartless never the less you cant even imagine the awful kind of childhood she must of had ….c’mon man have a F U C K I N G heart…
this is the most disturbing thing i have ever heard! i will never give my self or my son this kind of punishment, god i really thought i heard just about everything but this is some damm scary thing!
I think it’s funny.
I, too, think it’s funny! I’d never employ this tactic myself, but I can see how it would be effective!
EW! Lick under the armpit? That would be more a punishment for ME then the kid!
Visit my fashion blog!
she is ugly and apparently her mother was a sick freak
i know! “you came out of my vagina — i own you.” what a sick woman.
a) she’s not ugly, b) while i would never do it myself (licking under the armpit would be a punishment for *me*), i can see how it’d be effective, and c), you don’t know her mother (i’m assuming), so you have no right to call her that.
I would never – in a 1000 years – lick someone under the armpit. That’d be a punishment for myself!
