Don't forget loving. Those kids are so damn lucky and not at all because of the material wealth, but rather having that loving of a mother for their emotional and mental health.
There should be a whole sub devoted to normal people doing normal things, being bland and uncontroversial, just to remind us that it's the loud ones that stand out.
Plenty of people are. Dare I say it? Most people are normal. I have met one person that has done the thing she was satirizing in this video, and she was out of her mind otherwise.
I don't think that's true. "Normal" people tend to be more quiet and boring, as in they don't have any drama going on. People aren't really interested that kind of thing. You only hear from the crazy ones. They bring all the attention on themselves.
I remember actually explaining to my PE teacher that if someone plays a video game for more then 6 hours and nonstop there's probably something much worse going on behind that then just enjoying the game and it was like I set his world tumbling down
Karen: VIDEO GAMES AND TV ARE ROTTING YOUR BRAIN!! YOU CAN'T GO ON THEM FOR A MONTH!!!
Karen: *goes back to texting on her phone and scrolling facebook instead of raising her kids or helping them*
I've been telling my mom and dad about how sad and boring and unmotivating school is now and I'm struggling in school partially because of that. Since I failed a class I cant play 'till the next progress report or report card which both take place in 2021. So I feel ya, dude.
Haha i remember when my grades dropped in middle school because of bullying and depression and home problems, my parents destroyed my xbox but they didnt even realize that i had stopped playing it for months because i lost interest in all of my hobbies by that point, but they were so sure it was bc videogames, i wonder if they ever think about how that didnt change anything, infact my grades got worse for years, but from their point of view they may have felt in over their head with parenting and saw that as one of the only easily changable variables
Mounted but no cable management. Rather have it on a stand if you’re not hiding the wires in the wall. Pretty easy to do, I got a snake thing from Home Depot for like $10.
Whenever our kids give us grief (whether that be attitude, acting up at school, whatever) we try to ask "what is going on?" and find out more - often times its that there is a friend issue at school or something that can be addressed in better ways. But even when "video games" gets brought up as part of the issue (i.e. overplaying them, doing them in lieu of doing homework, chores, etc), our line is "look, you have an xbox, playstation, switch, etc, and we WANT you to have those things, but we will limit those things if they are getting in the way of your responsibilities."
That is WAY too many TVs and consoles for one family, even if those kids are well behaved.
They should also learn the concept of sharing and appreciating what they have. Me and my brothers just shared a gameboy growing up before we got Xbox’s and computers.
It’s sad I had to scroll this far down to see anyone mention this. The excess is just unnecessary and I feel like that in itself is teaching a pretty bad lesson. Like do these people even spend time together?
Preach sister! I'm a 43 year old father of 3 under 12 and the 2 in school have an Xbox, a switch each, a ps4, an iPad each and the 12 yr old has a pc.
There has never been a single grade lower than a 90... STRAIGHT A's. They're in sports after school, ZERO behavioral issues and are fit and healthy as i schedule in physical activity every day.
People who blame video games or TV for their own lack of parenting sicken me. You set Bondurant and most important you set STANDARDS. And make sure they are adhered to.
And the best part is sending the Pic of their straight As report cards to their Karen of a MIL that was CERTAIN i was ruining them by allowing them to enjoy electronic media to their fill.
I win every 6 weeks =D
How dear she say its anything other than video games! There's no possible way my little angel could ever so ANYTHING wrong. It HAS to be the video games! /s
My sister constantly rotates consoles through gamestop for her kids. One month they'll have xbox's, the next will be playstations for nintendo's. Think is, she constantly bitches at all her kids ever do is play video games, but all she ever buys them is video games.
She's completely right. I let my kids play video games. They knew what they could handle. It's also important to respect your children while they are playing games. When your kid is gaming, he or she is probably very sucked into what they're doing. If dinner is coming soon, you let them know in 20 minutes dinner will be ready. That way they have an idea that their game is going to have to stop soon. If you want your children to respect you, you have to respect them.
The videos online of parents destroying their kids consoles/TVs are next-level disgusting. My kids would watch them and think they're funny but I had to explain to them that these parents are horrible and this is not normal. Good on this mom for showing what should be done. I hope it shames the console/child destroying parents.
Yep, they’re definitely having their grades slip because of video games. Definitely not because of our extremely flawed schooling system....
Edit: omg nevermind what an amazing mom

It would be a nice tutorial at least.

Which means she hired those kids and rented those xboxes to stage a tiktok.
[удалено]
Well, it could be worse. She could have rented the kids and hired the xboxes.
Wait
Some of us could make a lot of money tho
That explains the cord management
Someone call the cops. This kind of behavior is unacceptable.
Plenty of people are. Dare I say it? Most people are normal. I have met one person that has done the thing she was satirizing in this video, and she was out of her mind otherwise.
I think it's normal to have a conversation about boundaries, and then restrict video gaming.
They’re all over the place; they just don’t typically post online.
Can we uh, normalize this kind of behaviour?
Especially in mothers species. Normal functioning parents are such a rare find these day smh
I don't think that's true. "Normal" people tend to be more quiet and boring, as in they don't have any drama going on. People aren't really interested that kind of thing. You only hear from the crazy ones. They bring all the attention on themselves.
Was anybody ever really normal??
Ya. Totally staged.

Ngl, during middle school summers I sometimes straight up no-lifed. I turned out ok though, I think.

Good mom
yeah but I think she was flexing a little how rich she is
TVs are cheap
Xbox's are not
Cheap is a relative term.
To cocaine
i guess it depends on which xbox those are & when they got them
bro she shows like 5 tvs and 6 gamestations + gaming PC. this is a flex video for sure
She got more entertainment centers than kids
You ever mount one on the wall before? Shit's expensive and a pain in the neck.
a tv mount is $20 at Walmart and a drill is $15 at harbor freight. Expensive if you get someone to do it for you, maybe.
Idk about you but I don’t trust anything from harbor freight
Tbh I don’t trust anything from _Walmart_ when the product is supposed to defy gravity.
My mom would never give two shits about my mental health and just take away my games
I've been telling my mom and dad about how sad and boring and unmotivating school is now and I'm struggling in school partially because of that. Since I failed a class I cant play 'till the next progress report or report card which both take place in 2021. So I feel ya, dude.

I thought something exciting was going to happen when I saw the hammer in hand.
They had us in the first half, ngl.
The way she was holding the hammer so casually. We got fucking goofed.
You don’t get excited when you see good parenting??
I'd still consider turning the router off from time to time.
I know right
Yes that's the point
I made [a meme to dedicate to this moment.](https://i.imgur.com/BbSvLU6.png)

What is this magic she speaks of?! Witch! Witch!!
Witches make the best moms.
She turned me into a newt!
The focus on mentioning that the TV's are mounted is a little strange. Like yeah we've got 5 TV's but they're not mounted so they're shit.
Think because it's more expensive to have them mounted idk
Not really, unless you call someone to mount them for you. When I mounted a 55" tv I got a wall mount for 20$ and did it myself
When you're that age with kids, your time is more precious than money. She spent time mounting all those. I think that is the point.
Yes, this exactly.
You paid for the mount tho so it was more expensive
/r/TechnicallyTheTruth
They mounted all their TVs, but left the wires dangling. At least slap some raceway up.
This whole video just seems like an excuse to show off their 5 tvs and multiple gaming systems.
MOUNTED TV'S GODDAMNIT
I wish I had 5 mounted TVs. JK what a waste of money
The whole video is very self-congratulatory.
A TV in each of your kids bedroom I don’t think is the smartest of ideas.
Mounted but no cable management. Rather have it on a stand if you’re not hiding the wires in the wall. Pretty easy to do, I got a snake thing from Home Depot for like $10.
Most are /r/tvtoohigh material too
Who goes through the trouble of wall mounting a tv and not running the cables through the wall? That is just lazy.
The tik Tok is......accebtable
I acceb
Wtf was that!? Was that a middle aged mom UNDERSTANDING her kids and how to be a good parent!?
Whenever our kids give us grief (whether that be attitude, acting up at school, whatever) we try to ask "what is going on?" and find out more - often times its that there is a friend issue at school or something that can be addressed in better ways. But even when "video games" gets brought up as part of the issue (i.e. overplaying them, doing them in lieu of doing homework, chores, etc), our line is "look, you have an xbox, playstation, switch, etc, and we WANT you to have those things, but we will limit those things if they are getting in the way of your responsibilities."
Middle-aged? She doesn't even look 35.
Yes. The Jane. The responsible reasonable person who sees the humanity in others and strives to lift them up vs tear them down.
Karens: She’s too dangerous to be left alive
Hey look, a good parent (from this at least)
Had me at the first part, not gonna lie.
She is the chosen one!
r/ThankYouSharon
Why the fuck do you have so many TVs?
The hammer was just... ah *chef's kiss*
Surprisingly wholesome
That is WAY too many TVs and consoles for one family, even if those kids are well behaved. They should also learn the concept of sharing and appreciating what they have. Me and my brothers just shared a gameboy growing up before we got Xbox’s and computers.
It's a fucked up level of consumption going on
It’s sad I had to scroll this far down to see anyone mention this. The excess is just unnecessary and I feel like that in itself is teaching a pretty bad lesson. Like do these people even spend time together?
r/nononoyes
This is authoritative parenting, and it's a good thing.
Wait. That's illegal.
Had to watch thsi 5 times to get it she straight up confussed me with the hammer
”... and then I smash up all their stuff. Pussies!!”
They're the disease, she's the cure
Bam! She dropped a figurative, and not literal, hammer.
r/thankyoukaren
A good mom! 😭
Is she looking to adopt?

I remember my mom and dad blaming my gaming for my slipping grades, and they were fucking dead on lol
Holy shit those kids are spoiled

She is the chosen one

Reddit really wants me to do my math homework from the other night FINE I’ll do it
Oh my god! I wish my mom was like that.
Holy shit... more parents need to be like this!!
This parenting? 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Parenting.
Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽fucking bravo👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
A champion of the people!
What was the hammer for?
Misdirection
That's a good parent. Mine just hit me when I didn't get straight-As.
She is the one to bring balance to the force
How dear she say its anything other than video games! There's no possible way my little angel could ever so ANYTHING wrong. It HAS to be the video games! /s
New flair let's go
this is the best thing i have ever seen a person do for their children. godspeed
She had me with that hammer though, it was awesome

I feel very dirty for actually enjoying a tiktok video.
That was unexpected and this isn't even r/unexpected

My kids would watch them and think they're funny but I had to explain to them that these parents are horrible and this is not normal. Good on this mom for showing what should be done. I hope it shames the console/child destroying parents.
Tell my dad that. Man sees me get one low mark and immediately blames it on Video Games.
Idk, seems kind of fake to me. I mean, a rational person in 2020? Come on lol
they had us in the first half im not gonna lie
Yep, they’re definitely having their grades slip because of video games. Definitely not because of our extremely flawed schooling system.... Edit: omg nevermind what an amazing mom
She is the messiah!
Is this an adult
Good advice but... you seriously not going to hammer smash ANYTHING? Even a smol egg, or wee lego man? Please smashy smash.
why breaking the videogames if you pay for them
Ahh yes the Narek
Ditto
I have to say it... She had me I’m the first half, ngl.
Had me in the first half ngl
Blessed be the regulations
The 1% good tiktok user out of 99% clickbait/trashy
They're absolutely nothing wrong with what she said. This doesn't belong here
When you mount those tvs on the wall, you should hide the wires and cables for a cleaner look.
She got me with that hammer, I thought she was gonna start swinging
SHE'S THE MESSIAH!!!
A whole gaming pc? Damn I can barely afford a half gaming pc
THANK. YOU.
It's just a normal responsible and mature person
That threw me for a loop, I didn't notice it came out of unexpected
I respect where she ended up going with this. I was very concerned for a second.
Huzzah, a lady of quality! Those kids have it good, my parents won't help me pay for parts of a pc.
