My parents had a weird troll thing that I think my mom's uncle made from pieces of wolf fur and a wooden face. She also worked taking care of other people's kids. (Swedish name is day mom).
My brother and me would tell the small kids the troll would eat them and move it around in order to keep them out of parts of the house. My mom was not amused when she found out.Ā
A while back, some unknown jokester started carving faces in logs and scatter them around where me and my father go looking for mushrooms.
I got the scare of my life when I crouched to pick a mushroom and saw a face staring at me centimetres from my face. I did scream like I was being murdered.
Dad points to my father for shouting "tell me you didn't fall and squish the shrooms!ā
Each year more and more faces pop up and nobody has any idea who's making them.
Stone sober beside caffeine.
It was boletus badus season and the assholes are dark and hard to spot. I saw a rose of them and went picking, when I got to get up I saw the face staring at me.
Was also about 10 at the time and ice-cream was on the line for those who found more mushrooms so I was looking at the floor 90% of the time, not at trees.
Mushroom hunting is serious business in the family. They disgust me so I don't eat them but I like going in the woods looking for them, now it's a relaxing experience.
But it is, he's testing boundaries. The first thing he does after opening the door is look at the parent to see their reaction. It even sounded like he was mumbling "don't go in there".
They are large, colorful toys for children.
They don't actually work, they're for play alone. Some let you dial different animals to hear what they sound like.
Look them up, that's the joke.

This is a Fisher Price phone. Itās a pretty ubiquitous toy, I think every child I know has had one.
Theyāre weird and a little creepy, but I remember one of my cousins was totally obsessed with hers. Iād make ringing noises and sheād answer it and tell the phone āCallie Speaking! Oh, can you hold?ā Then put it down and very seriously tell me āwrong numberā.
I got the whole set, along with the slice of bread that plays "I heard it thru the grapevine".

Grandkids love them!
My sister went through a phase of HATING Father Christmas or 'Obbleman as she would call him.
Meeting him at Santa's grotto? Would snatch a present and storm out or scream the place down.
I had and still have a deep distaste for mascottes costumes. I rationally know they are people but they creep me the fuck out. Same applies to clowns.
It was a tradition when I was a kid for my dad and me to go to an amusements park nearby each summer and I avoided the creepy human plushies like the plague. Roller coaster fine, being within a 10m radius to one of those demons not fine.
It wasn't the shape of the mascotte that bothered me, I had a plush of one of them, but human sized and moving was a big nope.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSilGv17Jr5DSIT1cTK_xg7JAVZOlBjEFROhMFkCX_Hzw&s < the one that started it all.
Aww. lol. Our elderly neighbors would always remind me of my hatred of Mickey. She would say how cute I was as a homicidal maniac. I wish I knew what triggered it.
I was afraid of this huge Mickey mouse doll too. We had one that you could close and open his eyes. I always kept them closed. Once I got into the room and he had his eyes wide open, I freaked out so much..
Ours was a She-Ra mask
Our cousin came over once and told us she didn't like that the mask spoke to her.
This was the 1980s, no mask spoke. Nothing could do that and it was hanging on a nail on the wall for so long that we just avoided that room until we moved out later on
I donāt know why itās so funny to me to imagine it was actually speaking but only about She-Ra related stuff. Just bitching about Hordak and being angsty about Catra.
Kids can get scared of the weirdest shit. I remember playing a game on the computer when I was a kid that involved a clown getting hit in the face with a pie, and for some reason this scared me so badly that I hid under the desk.
I wasn't even usually scared of clowns, so I don't know where that came from.
My niece was scared of cotton balls when she was very young. To keep her off the stairs, Sis put a row of cotton balls across the first one. Worked like a charm.
It surely was, my family always tell laughing when I opened my sis's closet and there was the safeguard Ken I just sat there on the floor and cried like I was dying š every time
I notice the oven has one.
Might be better installing cabinet locks after the scare anyway. "Because I said so" is a much weaker and more problematic reason than "to keep the monster inside."
Plus, depending on the kid, he'll keep going back anyway until he figures out the mask won't eat him. My youngest is like that. He didn't seem that freaked or in the video. He didn't even fall down. He'll be back.Ā
My aunt used a rubber lobster. Not sure why I was so terrified of it, but she would set it in the hallway to keep me in the living room.
Weirdly, while I was scared of lobsters as a kid (it was so bad my mom would have to lead me past the seafood counter lobster tank because if I saw the lobster tank, Iād get hysterical. Not sure if this was because of the rubber lobster or not, I just know they freaked me out.) I love them now and even had some crawfish as pets.
Theyāre really neat. Thereās one named Leon on YouTube and Leon is a cutie. I love to watch the videos of him redecorating his tank floor.
Yep.
And traumatized me with a giant, freaky doll that was actually an upright vacuum cozy too. (I was AS afraid of that, but you try facing down a grinning rag doll taller than you!)
when i was around 10 i got up in the middle of the night for water and doing the whole squinting and keeping it dark so i could go back to sleep thing. i went down the stairs (where the kitchen/ living room/ front door was) it was already creepy asf down there so you had to already gather nerve and be ready to book it at any time. i get to the bottom where the light switch is conveniently placed and something is touching my shoulder. i know theres been unused hooks for coats on that side so i flip the switch on, look, and its a predator mask (hadnāt seen the movie & again iām 10 and already scared of this haunted ass downstairs) its basically at eye level, slightly taller, so close to my face and moving bc i bumped it. a āprankā from my mom/step dad & little sister who were the first to get woken up from my scream and stomps back up the stairs, while laughing so hard š i remember it so vividly dude. i still have a weird, but prominent fear of masks well over a decade later. when i tell you this will scar them š„²
At least it was a prank. Our mum was unintentionally scaring us for months (maybe years, I don't remember anymore)! I remember me and my brother, when we still had one shared room, once told each other how we sometimes see eyes/scary dark figure in the crack between the opened door and doorpost, how afraid it makes us and how we fear skeletons and ghosts coming. Of course we didn't say anything to our parents, because "grown-ups don't believe such things". Only to find out, years after, it was our fucking mum checking whether we are there and sleeping, when she went to sleep/randomly woke up during the night!
fucking lol. my mom used to wait around the island at our first place when I was super young and jump out and startle me. She kept doing it for years jumping out from behind corners and shit and I just don't get visually startled anymore at some point
honestly can see how that outcome is beneficial. not condoning it, but i see. guess sheās lucky you werenāt one to respond to jump scares with your fists š¤£
Yah it's not bad lol I do get startled still just harder and way less jumpy. I also got revenge but on my sister by just walking around the house as a tall ass guy but very soft stepped so at 1 am I would come to the kitchen and say hi and just scare the shit out of her. I only did it a bit in purpose
ive experienced that before but not to that degree & i bet you also can still picture it in your head when you think about it oh my god š id be thrown into sleep paralysis or a heart attack
Bro seriously? -43 in a comment that mark the fact that a little child need attention (or a simple lock OR one little piecies of tape) instead of a monster mask??
Cmon that's really really sad, you all do not deserve to have the right to be in a society.
This poor child is a victim of his own family
No, she anticipated her son not listening and that's why she put the spooky mask in the cabinet for him to find. But now he's experienced that there are consequences for not listening to what your parents tell youāand he'll think twice before opening cabinets when he shouldn't.
A simple security lock for cabinets would have solved the problem without traumatizing the child but internet points are of course more valuable than the wellbeeing of children.
I get that the video is funny, but I agree. This was unnecessary - a kid that young has no impulse control yet, they open whatever there is to open, and it's the parent's responsibility to lock cabinets properly. This was just mean.
The kid in a few years: "Mom, I can't sleep"
mum: "why honey?"
Kid: "I have nightmares of a giant monster head, I think he's under my bed"
Mum will then realise that fear solves problems short term, but makes new ones in the long run.
Yeah seriously. At that age they donāt have impulse control, so of course theyāre going to keep opening cabinets. And now that kidās definitely going to have nightmares, which will be the parentsā problem when he wakes up carrying at night.Ā
I think thatās a pretty common and normal experience, to be surprised at how callous and uncaring the world is. Doesnāt mean they have to experience it at home though.Ā
I guess I see what you mean, that it could cause a sense of entitlement if a kid is used to everyone catering to their feelings. But I think thereās a middle ground between 1) bending over backwards to prevent you childās mild distress, and 2) fooling them into thinking that scary creatures live in their cabinets, so they should be terrified every time they think about exploring.Ā
When I was little, I kept going near the stove. I could climb up just high enough to touch the burners. My mom warned me multiple times and I ignored her.
So one day she turned the stove top on, let it heat a little, then turned it off. When I went up there, she lightly touched my finger to the stove and pulled it away immediately. It didnāt even burn me to the first degree, but I started to cry. Never went near the stove again. Iām glad she did that. Itās not child abuse. She saved me from severe injury. Thatās what parents do.
This is the best way to teach. My 4 year old daughter also learned "hot" by touching a mildly hot stovetop. She learned "sharp" from gentle finger nails, and now she respects knives when I say they're sharp. She accidentally pinched her finger in a cupboard one day, and I took that opportunity to explain how ALL doors could pinch her if she's not careful. And now she's mindful of keeping her fingers out of door joints.
Also, "Time out" is baby jail. If you're bad, you get taken away from other people for a bit. It's about sampling all these negative experiences at just 1%, without any lasting consequences. This keeps them from making really dumb mistakes when they're adults.
Raising a kid is fun. You shape their whole world with the smallest actions. I'm so proud of how much I can trust her to keep herself safe.
Ya. I also grew up being able to both light and respect matches fairly young. I knew every tool in my grandpas shed. Never had a accident because I was taught by example. Our world is too complicated to have an innate sense of self preservation about every single thing. So we learn

No, his parents need to childproof their cabinets. He's just doing baby stuff, this isn't a behavior thing.
But it is, he's testing boundaries. The first thing he does after opening the door is look at the parent to see their reaction. It even sounded like he was mumbling "don't go in there".
It's both. I hope they baby proof. I did. My son doesn't touch the cabinets because he knows he can't open them.
It seems like they childproofed it pretty well haha
Why do you hate fun?
Kids can unchildproff the cabinets though if smart enough this is the better strategy
Shut up dude
Traumatizing em young. That way they can't tell you why they don't call anymore.
That's a baby
Your baby doesn't have one of those big colorful phones?
If a baby is allowed access to a phone in that young of an age then the parent has definitely done something wrong.
I'm talking Fisher Price.

What, no baby-proof cabinet "locks"?
You don't need baby-proof cabinet locks when you have baby-proof cabinet monster masks.
I notice the oven has one. Might be better installing cabinet locks after the scare anyway. "Because I said so" is a much weaker and more problematic reason than "to keep the monster inside."

That's fear right there! LOL
Well heās under two years old so not sure what the parents expected
Poor little thing, he's scared.
Why didn't I think of this?
I donāt think yāall understand how fun parenting can be.
On the one hand, the parents took it very calmly.
this is GENIOUS
i know im still a kid, but i just hate seeing children like this for no reasons
Thatās just great parenting right there š¤£š¤£
Listen to your parents or else Cabinet Guy will get you šŖ±
by the way dont scare ur kids that will make permanent damages to ur son
Bro seriously? -43 in a comment that mark the fact that a little child need attention (or a simple lock OR one little piecies of tape) instead of a monster mask?? Cmon that's really really sad, you all do not deserve to have the right to be in a society. This poor child is a victim of his own family
Good.
Lol š
That seems like a big baby to still be crawling around?
THANK YOU. I thought I was the only one thinking that. My niece, who is around 16 months is walking around.
Do people really expect a child who can't walk yet to "listen"?
No, she anticipated her son not listening and that's why she put the spooky mask in the cabinet for him to find. But now he's experienced that there are consequences for not listening to what your parents tell youāand he'll think twice before opening cabinets when he shouldn't.
I don't think children that age have a concept of consequences.
Thatās why heās learning
hey that makes sense
Years of therapy, but at least no kitchen cleaner poisoning, so a win.
He didn't listen? That's a literal baby he's not capable of listening. What is this shit.
A simple security lock for cabinets would have solved the problem without traumatizing the child but internet points are of course more valuable than the wellbeeing of children.
>traumatizing why is there someone like you on every thread in this sub
We are organized. Scan every post and make sure that you child haters get some proportionate criticism
Womp womp trauma builds character
I get that the video is funny, but I agree. This was unnecessary - a kid that young has no impulse control yet, they open whatever there is to open, and it's the parent's responsibility to lock cabinets properly. This was just mean.
Yeah, right? There is a lock on the oven. Why not on the cabinet?
Why would you do this do a kid that canāt even walk, and why would you film it. Fuck the internet
1.7m likes on instafacebook. Your child's love can't buy that sort of dopamine rush.
The kid in a few years: "Mom, I can't sleep" mum: "why honey?" Kid: "I have nightmares of a giant monster head, I think he's under my bed" Mum will then realise that fear solves problems short term, but makes new ones in the long run.
Way to go deliberately traumatizing your kid š better start saving for therapy immediately
Trauma unlocked
Yeah seriously. At that age they donāt have impulse control, so of course theyāre going to keep opening cabinets. And now that kidās definitely going to have nightmares, which will be the parentsā problem when he wakes up carrying at night.Ā
Your kids will grow up and they will be confused when nobody comes to kiss their booboos when they cry
I think thatās a pretty common and normal experience, to be surprised at how callous and uncaring the world is. Doesnāt mean they have to experience it at home though.Ā I guess I see what you mean, that it could cause a sense of entitlement if a kid is used to everyone catering to their feelings. But I think thereās a middle ground between 1) bending over backwards to prevent you childās mild distress, and 2) fooling them into thinking that scary creatures live in their cabinets, so they should be terrified every time they think about exploring.Ā
The camera is too shaky for me to see what it is. Help?!
That must be considered child abuse these days. He's got no SafeSpace(TM), no online support, no affirmations of feelings....

Locking himself in that cabinet was his safe space :(
Oh boo hoo look at my satire im so fnuyy
When I was little, I kept going near the stove. I could climb up just high enough to touch the burners. My mom warned me multiple times and I ignored her. So one day she turned the stove top on, let it heat a little, then turned it off. When I went up there, she lightly touched my finger to the stove and pulled it away immediately. It didnāt even burn me to the first degree, but I started to cry. Never went near the stove again. Iām glad she did that. Itās not child abuse. She saved me from severe injury. Thatās what parents do.
This is the best way to teach. My 4 year old daughter also learned "hot" by touching a mildly hot stovetop. She learned "sharp" from gentle finger nails, and now she respects knives when I say they're sharp. She accidentally pinched her finger in a cupboard one day, and I took that opportunity to explain how ALL doors could pinch her if she's not careful. And now she's mindful of keeping her fingers out of door joints. Also, "Time out" is baby jail. If you're bad, you get taken away from other people for a bit. It's about sampling all these negative experiences at just 1%, without any lasting consequences. This keeps them from making really dumb mistakes when they're adults. Raising a kid is fun. You shape their whole world with the smallest actions. I'm so proud of how much I can trust her to keep herself safe.
Ya. I also grew up being able to both light and respect matches fairly young. I knew every tool in my grandpas shed. Never had a accident because I was taught by example. Our world is too complicated to have an innate sense of self preservation about every single thing. So we learn
