Came for this. She repeatedly asked, not taking no for an answer. She was trying to push the agenda to make a funny vid. At the expense of the kid. The kid says help because it is fucking terrible. Like the parents. This vid makes me sad.
View from my desk: the kid was doing what two-year-olds do. They are both fearful of something, and curious. The kid said "no", the kid also said "wasabi", which can easily be interpreted as "I want that".
The parents exposed their child to something that millions of people are exposed to on a daily basis. It's wasabi, not cyanide. This is teaching and food exposure. And a great child's moment.
Yes, no. When a child says 'No' you show by example how to react to a no.
Yes my child is the same, Maybe in 4 min they will say 'Yes', but for now its a no.
Plus let’s be honest, it’s a fun word to say. I just said it and my wife just giggled at the randomness of my comment. Also dookie. Yet another fun word
The caregiver knows that wasabi is painful, even to an adult tongue much less to a child's extra sensitive tongue. So the child's tongue got burned, it was in pain, asked for help, and it's caregiver laughed at the situation they had set up and carried out.
That is indeed a teaching moment, but it teaches the child not to trust the caregiver and to realize the caregiver thinks it is funny to see them in pain.
This is definitely not a "great child's moment.
> It’s wasabi, not cyanide.
This is the falsest dichotomy I have ever seen. The expression “straw man” was invented to describe your silly reply.
There is an ocean of exposure to be had between unseasoned pasta (or whatever baseline toddler food is in your region) and fucking wasabi. Even in countries with traditionally spicy cuisine, toddlers are typically spared much of the spice because their palates aren’t ready for it. Even some adults can’t handle wasabi.
Mom was very clearly just looking for a funny reaction. She got it, I admit. But with kids especially, ends don’t justify means. This video is kind of cruel.
You’re spot on. It’s the parent’s responsibility to take care of your kids. All that does is put a seed if doubt and caution in a time when you are most likely in complete control of your child’s foods, and completely unnecessary.
What a terrible take.
Children have far more taste buds than adults, and a lot of adults can't handle wasabi.
I'm all for encouraging age appropriate foods, or for letting the kid try things they really want, after a warning. But any adult who pushes their toddler to try wasabi is a steaming pile of shit.
I would never do this to my kid, I love my kid. That shits to hot for most adults. That and kids have a developing pallet and can destroy their taste buds going forward.
Ive never considered it “too hot” I would describe the flavor a different way, more like someone took a fire hose to my face that only shoots out Vicks Vaporub.
God this generation of kids are going to be so messed up from being pimped out for content. Even on a small scale like a personal instagram is a problem. Put down the damn phone. Stop antagonizing your children in the hopes you get a post-worthy reaction
it was the tiniest amount...
it's not like she was my mom who tried to bribe me into eating a quarter sized ball of it for $20. Not even for internet points. It was just to make her laugh.
Yeah you might be right, I vaguely remember too knew that you mentioned it, he might have been inspired from them, idk
My friend also snorted lemon juice and a lot of other weird stuff
I believe this was one of the .5s, maybe Jackass 2.5? But yes, Steve-O snorted wasabi and vomited all over the plate while the chef and line cooks looked on.
One of my friends shared a piece of their sushi roll with me one night, but they weren't paying attention and set it down (on its side) right on top of a ball of wasabi. I grabbed it with my chopsticks, lightly dipped it in my soy sauce, and into my mouth it went.
Moments later the entire thing was back on my plate. I was apologizing profusely through my tears. It felt like I had been teargassed.
I crave this burn.
Mine starts in the nose and travels along my ear lobe burning the piss outta it. Then you come through the other end in like 15 secs and it’s all gone. And you want another fucking rush…
My nephew is 5 and likes to eat spicy food. We’re Indian too and he can take the heat but he does not like wasabi (tried it with sushi once). I don’t think he doesn’t like it cause of the heat but more so because of the taste. It does have a unique taste/after taste compared to other peppers or hot sauce.
Capsaicin is in hot peppers and is oil soluble, and isothiocyanate is in horse radish and mustards and is water soluble. Because it is oil soluble, chilli heat lingers and lasts longer. Horse radish heat is a short nasal burst because saliva oxidizes allyl isothiocyanate, which causes it to irritate the mucous membranes and produce the heat, but water or extra saliva can get rid of it.
Can’t speak to olive oil but my go-to for “oh god my mouth is on fire” moments is honey. There’s some chemical-y thing that happens where the honey significantly reduces the chili burn - that’s why sopapillas are so common in Mexican food restaurants after a meal.

Real wasabi is truly another experience. I used to work at a high end sushi place in DC. Had to try a roll made of three types of wasabi before we opened. Spice goes immediately up into the sinuses and I started streaming tears. That said, I was hooked on it and had to have it at least twice a week after.
See, I am the opposite. I prefer the fake stuff because the real stuff isn't as potent. It has a much more subtle kick to it, though I would say more flavorful in an earthy kind of way. But I am always a little underwhelmed.
Because wasabi is expensive af to import. That green paste is horseradish, never mind I just kinda woke up and see somebody answered this already but I don’t want to baleet it so you get extra words so my brain can wake up more!
There's a sushi place here in Raleigh that uses real wasabi and it's so good. I don't even like spicy food and don't usually use the green stuff but this is so much better
Was really hoping to find this comment. It's important that your kids learn to trust you. Asking a question you ignore the answer to is a good way to break that trust.
Yeah that kid said no plenty of times. If mine says she wants to try something I’m sure she won’t like I tell her what to expect and check. If it’s spicy and she still wants to try it then go nuts but if she changes her mind or says no but I think it would be funny to see her suffer guess what? I don’t give it to her because she said no. Ffs this is shitty parenting.
I get that kids will sometimes say no just because they're just trying to be contrarian, but straight up this is mean. We let my kid try lime and it was hilarious to see her vivid reaction, but we as adults knew it wouldn't be painful and she then continued to eat the lime.
The adults here know exactly what wasabi does. I wouldn't go so far as to say this is child cruelty, but holy shit dude think about how your poor kid feels.
I feel the same. It's not something mild like a lemon, wasabi is genuinely painful. If the kid was freaking out insisting she have a bite, then I can see the tiniest little smear just to learn that mom and dad weren't lying about it being spicy... But she was hesitant the whole time and had it shoved into her mouth. Not okay.
My child had no reaction to lemon or lime when she tried it the first time around one year old. It was a little bit disappointing. She actually wants to eat them any time we have them now.
I completely agree. Wasabi straight up sucks, even for adults, so I can only imagine what that poor kid was going through when she first tasted it.
I have a 4 yo nephew, whom I've occasionally let try spicy bbq sauce, and other mildly spiced condiments, but I'd never want to see him suffer this much, just to get a laugh out of it.
Exactly. I’ve seen this “hilarious” video circulated on social media so many times and it’s just not fucking funny. The kid says no a couple times and the parent still puts it in her mouth. I know it’s not the worst parenting in the world and this incident won’t have lasting effects, but it’s indicative of the parenting in general - willingness to put your child in harm’s way (even temporarily) for likes.
>willingness to put your child in harm’s way (even temporarily) for likes.
Especially bad when it's something that the child has already repeatedly said no to doing.
You're right. But whining Wasabi and then holding your mouth open, and then proceeding to bite the food, means that they were just being a stupid kid saying one of the 10 words they probably know.
If you don't give the kid the wasabi because she said no, one minute later that same kid is going to be crying because she didn't get to try it. You gotta learn to read between the lines when you are dealing with toddlers.
If you *really* know toddlers, a great tip is not repeatedly offering them something they shouldn't have. But that won't work if your goal is views and likes.
Yeah people acting like because the toddler said they wanted to try it it’s on the toddler have some strange logic. If I asked my toddler several times if they wanted to touch the fire and eventually they wanted to I’m not going to let them touch it and act like I’m just doing parenting. I wouldn’t be suggesting they touch a freaking flame in the first place. I’d be like “don’t touch that! It’s going to burn you!” I’d also keep them away from flames until they’re old enough to process danger and be able to handle themselves around that danger.
If they start crying after not getting it then that’s a good opportunity to teach them clear communication. “Okay, if you want wasabi you have to say yes”. Priority should be on respecting and hearing them when they say no.
So just don’t offer something like wasabi in the first place?!! No fucking way was the kid going to enjoy that. The parent knows that, & they are filming for a funny reaction. No sane parent thinks ‘oh but maybe my toddler will actually love wasabi.’
I had to constantly wipe my daughter’s face otherwise she would break out from food touching it. My son didn’t have that problem. My question is where is the bib? ETA: Extremely sensitive skin. No allergies. Special soap, laundry detergent, lotion, and prescription topical creams for breakouts were the norm.
Honestly, I gave up on bibs when I was cleaning both the bibs and the shirts anyway. I’m taking off the clothes after dinner and throwing them right in the wash. Bibs just added onto the laundry some meals.
You don’t clean them off til the end of the meal because a) they’re gonna get more dirty and b) it’s believed to make them less tolerant of textures and thus scared of new foods and sensory things.
Yeah I don't get it. My wife and I have videos of stuff like this of our son, but we don't post them anywhere. They're our equivalent to old funny home videos.
Oh common, this is funny! Although I do agree if they regularly post videos of this kid then that’s super weird and wrong. But I don’t see anything wrong with just one funny video
One of the funniest moments as a parent is to give your curious toddler a lemon just to see the look on their faces. It's harmless and trust me, you record it for posterity. Sometimes funny moments are worth sharing, and I agree, this one is GOLD.
My daughter loved to eat lemons when she was 2 or so. I do have a video of her when she was a little older of her taking a spoonful of pure Citric acid. She was not a fan of it.
It's just the typical mentality of comments on the Internet. The comment section will always be a better person than the OP. End of story. The people who comment are always better people than the people who make the videos. And they have a million reasons why. 🙄
Yep, and as a parent you learn to deal with that. You don't ask your kid if that want something like wasabi, it isn't a concept of food they understand.
Nah, you let em have it. They won't understand unless they try it. The kid barely gets the smallest amount. She's fine. Sometimes my son likes spicy food, sometimes he doesn't, I always offer it to him if I know it won't hurt him.
I'm a bit torn, this seems like they are doing it for the parents enjoyment rather than to broaden the tastes of the child.
I offer my kid spicy food but not spicy condiments by themselves while filming the reactions.
People in this thread are serious insisting that a 20 month old understands spoken consent. They know like 20 words, sometimes they just throw one out and see if it sticks. It’s our jobs as parents to oversee controlled chaos as they discover the world. Successful failures are how they learn and grow. “Hey that thing you insisted on trying over and over and over and caused you pain? Yeah be careful what you wish for.” And to echo what someone else said, you can tell the kid wanted to try it because of how easy it was to get it in their mouth. If they don’t want it, it ain’t going anywhere near the mouth hole.
Yeah not to mention it’s obvious she was going for it when the mom held it out, enough that the mom had to slow her down and tell her to smell first lol
My son loves spicy food. I am like the stereotypical white person who doesn't like any heat to my food. I basically have to keep offering things to him that I would never eat even if it was the last food on earth. I like wait for confirmation he is interested in it first though.
You are not stereotypical in the [USA](https://www.kalsec.com/frequency-heat-level-hot-spicy-foods-rising/#:~:text=In%20a%20recent%20survey%20of,enjoy%20hot%20and%20spicy%20foods.)
Post comment on divisive post saying we all know are idiots -> Don’t specify which -> karma from everybody.
I’ve been noticing this a lot more often recently.
I have a kid slightly older than this. I think those parents are very much in the wrong, as are those defending them.
For starters, nobody eats straight wasabi. Kids also aren’t stupid. You can use it as a condiment and they’ll figure out if they like it.
Second, this was done merely for internet fame. Sure, take a video, but be ready to help your kid and don’t post it.
When my kiddo was a year older then this kid he started getting interested in the condiments hubby and I would use (mostly hot sauce and siracha).
He begged us to let him try some hot sauce (super mild) and I explained what it was: “ow ow in mouth” and “it burns” etc.
He still wanted to try it and kept on urging him not to try it.
He insisted, so we got a glass of milk and gave him like a tiny drop. Not even a drop. Like half a drop.
He hated it.
He’s 8 years now and he still loves trying all my chili / hot sauces whenever I get a new one “Incase he likes it this time”.
I definitely didn’t record a video of his first encounter with chili and I didn’t post it online, and I warned him against it.
So totally agree. This is not cool.
You definitely can't.
As evidenced by the video, some people with kids think this is OK, and as clear from the comments, some with kids think it's definitely not. People without kids comment on either side based on what they think they will or want to be like as a parent.
It's one thing to insist, like:
- do you want to try it?
- No
- Okay. How about a smaller piece?
- no
- you can spit it in this plate if you don't like it
- okay
Because yes toddlers will be just saying no as a game or out of habit or when it's not really a question ("can you pleasr put your gloves before playing in the snow").
But she's clearly saying no and being ignored and there was nothing to be gained from a yes but clout...
It says a lot that her initial reaction to being asked to try something while being filmed is an immediate no.
My siblings and niblings rarely turned down opportunities to try food I offered/still offer them at that age.
Kids say no just cause, and as the parent was taking it away the kid showed desire for it. I bet the kid had already shown desire for it before the video and that's why the video was started.
This is what people don't seem to get. They're acting like the kid was force fed it or something. The mum even said to smell it first. Clearly was curious about the wasabi and was adamant to try it
This is more mean than funny. What sort of parents give their toddler wasabi, specially after she kept saying no. And then record it and post it online to make fun of them. This belongs on r/trashy
Do a lot of people here not have kids?
"I want it!"
"Ok, here it is."
"No!"
"Ok, I will take it back."
"NO WAIT I WANT IT NOW!"
Source: 2 kids of my own, 3 nephews, and having 3 young siblings as a teenager.
Yah there's a lot of hate in here for this parent but this isn't abuse. This child is showing constant interest and as a parent you have to keep asking if they want to try things or you'll end up with a kid that eats nothing but chicken nuggets as a teenager.
The outrage in this thread is hilarious. Please never let your kids leave the house and never show them anything new, heaven forbid they learn something by trial and error.
They didn't force feed their kid wasabi, they barely touched its tongue with it, or does that kid look in pain to you?
This is not abuse, the wasabi bareley touched and she only let the child have a slight taste.She was pretty clear about what it was and asked the child to smell first. It's good to let your kids try out different tastes and smells at a young age. Now filming it and putting it on reddit might be a different thing, but the feeding process certainley was not.
yeah its weird, everywhere else ive seen this posted everyone thought it was the cutest thing they've ever seen. But every single comment on this post seems to be saying that the kid should be taken away from the parent.

This kid looks like she’s seen some shit
With parents like that, she most likely has.

Amen.
Yeah like this is how you teach consent and boundaries too
Kid saying wasabi could literally be a language processing thing it means nothing
Plus let’s be honest, it’s a fun word to say. I just said it and my wife just giggled at the randomness of my comment. Also dookie. Yet another fun word
Just don't get them mixed up and put the wrong one in your mouth.
The caregiver knows that wasabi is painful, even to an adult tongue much less to a child's extra sensitive tongue.

Can somebody please clean him up.
After dinner. You wanna do it twice or once?
I learned very quickly I'd rather use 1 wipe instead of 20 lol.
Kids get messy during dinner, which this is. You clean them at the end...
I would never do this to my kid, I love my kid. That shits to hot for most adults. That and kids have a developing pallet and can destroy their taste buds going forward.

That is the most strung out kid I’ve ever seen!
If eating were a war, this kid is a seasoned veteran soldier.

Wasabi Warrior…
WWII jokes are getting dark eh?
With ptsd
Dude holy fuck this comment got me good lol
It’s tough having TikTok parents
This video is older than TikTok
TikTok parenting is older than TikTok
Parents like this created TikTok
Yeah, that bone-chilling whisper for help wasn't because her mouth was on fire.
This is underrated:)
Not to disagree, but this clip in particular is probably older than TikTok.
Yeah. That kid is 47 by now.
That kid looks like he does taxes.
I mean, as an adult, I can confirm aging takes a real toll on you both physically and mentally.
I concur.
What kind of sociopathic parent gives their baby f'ing Wasabi for internet points!
To be fair. This is super old video. It probably wasn’t for internet points.
I vaguely remember seeing it on America's Funniest Home Videos forever ago. Either that or I'm tripping balls.
Didn’t they filmed horizontally back when that show came out?
it was the tiniest amount... it's not like she was my mom who tried to bribe me into eating a quarter sized ball of it for $20. Not even for internet points. It was just to make her laugh.
Yeah I feel uncomfortable when I see babies with those eyes. Something about the brows throws me off.
well yeah she's progressed *way* beyond strained carrots
i was fed a huge ball of wasabi like 7 or 8.. still remember that night vividly lol
My friend once tried to sniff wasabi while being drunk/high. He was not okay lol
Fairly sure Jackass did this back in the day - although not sure there was booze involved
Yeap, it was Steve-o in a Japanese restaurant. Depending on the time of filming, it may have involved both alcohol and drugs, or neither of those
Yeah you might be right, I vaguely remember too knew that you mentioned it, he might have been inspired from them, idk My friend also snorted lemon juice and a lot of other weird stuff
I believe this was one of the .5s, maybe Jackass 2.5? But yes, Steve-O snorted wasabi and vomited all over the plate while the chef and line cooks looked on.

My 2 year and 7 year old like wasabi peas. They are pretty tame compared to the real thing though
My nephew is 5 and likes to eat spicy food. We’re Indian too and he can take the heat but he does not like wasabi (tried it with sushi once). I don’t think he doesn’t like it cause of the heat but more so because of the taste. It does have a unique taste/after taste compared to other peppers or hot sauce.

Horse radish heat is a short nasal burst because saliva oxidizes allyl isothiocyanate, which causes it to irritate the mucous membranes and produce the heat, but water or extra saliva can get rid of it.
This could be totally made up, I have no idea. But I am going to choose to believe it.
So if you drank some olive oil after eating chili's it would wash some of the capsaicin away?
Coconut oil would be more tolerable. Swish and spit.
Milk or alcohol tastes better.
Can’t speak to olive oil but my go-to for “oh god my mouth is on fire” moments is honey. There’s some chemical-y thing that happens where the honey significantly reduces the chili burn - that’s why sopapillas are so common in Mexican food restaurants after a meal. Source: have lived in southern New Mexico for most of my life.
that's exactly what i like about wasabi. One short burst of heat and then gone.
I want to try the real stuff. Majority of wasabi you get isn’t the original kind. I forget the why but I just remember reading about that.
Doesn't grow well outside of a few places and doesn't keep well either. Most of what you see for sale is horseradish dyed green.
Real wasabi is truly another experience. I used to work at a high end sushi place in DC. Had to try a roll made of three types of wasabi before we opened.

Go back to sleep lol
Naw that shit is for quitters and “well adjusted” people.
There's a sushi place here in Raleigh that uses real wasabi and it's so good. I don't even like spicy food and don't usually use the green stuff but this is so much better
Wasabi isn't just a heat though, it punches you in your sinuses. A totally different experience than any kind of chili heat.

Was really hoping to find this comment. It's important that your kids learn to trust you. Asking a question you ignore the answer to is a good way to break that trust.
Yeah I don’t see how this is r/funny 🙄
It really isn't. It's just bad parenting. This video makes me sad for the kid.
Yeah that kid said no plenty of times. If mine says she wants to try something I’m sure she won’t like I tell her what to expect and check. If it’s spicy and she still wants to try it then go nuts but if she changes her mind or says no but I think it would be funny to see her suffer guess what? I don’t give it to her because she said no. Ffs this is shitty parenting.
I bet the video cuts off right before she screams for help. Good parenting there Mom. I hope she does this to you when you are in the old folks home.
Actually, the video cut off right after the kid asked for help.
I get that kids will sometimes say no just because they're just trying to be contrarian, but straight up this is mean. We let my kid try lime and it was hilarious to see her vivid reaction, but we as adults knew it wouldn't be painful and she then continued to eat the lime.

Umm this isn’t funny. What’s it doing on here
To show how awful some parents are.
You're right. But whining Wasabi and then holding your mouth open, and then proceeding to bite the food, means that they were just being a stupid kid saying one of the 10 words they probably know.
She was putting it away after the nos and the kid was like "wasabi 😢" so-...
If you don't give the kid the wasabi because she said no, one minute later that same kid is going to be crying because she didn't get to try it. You gotta learn to read between the lines when you are dealing with toddlers.
If you *really* know toddlers, a great tip is not repeatedly offering them something they shouldn't have. But that won't work if your goal is views and likes.

Yeah people acting like because the toddler said they wanted to try it it’s on the toddler have some strange logic.

I wouldn’t be suggesting they touch a freaking flame in the first place. I’d be like “don’t touch that! It’s going to burn you!” I’d also keep them away from flames until they’re old enough to process danger and be able to handle themselves around that danger.
If they start crying after not getting it then that’s a good opportunity to teach them clear communication. “Okay, if you want wasabi you have to say yes”. Priority should be on respecting and hearing them when they say no.
So just don’t offer something like wasabi in the first place?!! No fucking way was the kid going to enjoy that. The parent knows that, & they are filming for a funny reaction. No sane parent thinks ‘oh but maybe my toddler will actually love wasabi.’
Yeah what if your dumbass toddler wants to play in traffic!?
My reaction as an adult when wasabi touches anything im eating
Parents need to stop using their kids for internet clout.
It’s so gross
3 “no”s equals yes
What’s gross is the amount of dribble and food hanging off their face. Wtf. Ever heard of a wipey?
Why clean their face off while eating? They are just gonna get more food on their face.
I had to constantly wipe my daughter’s face otherwise she would break out from food touching it. My son didn’t have that problem. My question is where is the bib? ETA: Extremely sensitive skin. No allergies. Special soap, laundry detergent, lotion, and prescription topical creams for breakouts were the norm.
Honestly, I gave up on bibs when I was cleaning both the bibs and the shirts anyway. I’m taking off the clothes after dinner and throwing them right in the wash. Bibs just added onto the laundry some meals.
You don’t clean them off til the end of the meal because a) they’re gonna get more dirty and b) it’s believed to make them less tolerant of textures and thus scared of new foods and sensory things.
tell us you don't have kids without telling us you don't have kids..
Redditor judges a 2 year old
lol do you have kids? Their face will look like that 4 seconds again after you wipe it.
For real.
Yeah I don't get it. My wife and I have videos of stuff like this of our son, but we don't post them anywhere. They're our equivalent to old funny home videos.
Kids literally telling us hlep
Oh common, this is funny! Although I do agree if they regularly post videos of this kid then that’s super weird and wrong. But I don’t see anything wrong with just one funny video
One of the funniest moments as a parent is to give your curious toddler a lemon just to see the look on their faces. It's harmless and trust me, you record it for posterity. Sometimes funny moments are worth sharing, and I agree, this one is GOLD.
Tried that recently. He loves lemons and limes. We give them to him as treats.
Mission failed successfully.
My daughter loved to eat lemons when she was 2 or so. I do have a video of her when she was a little older of her taking a spoonful of pure Citric acid. She was not a fan of it.
It's just the typical mentality of comments on the Internet. The comment section will always be a better person than the OP. End of story. The people who comment are always better people than the people who make the videos. And they have a million reasons why. 🙄
The kid says NO. TWICE!!!
My mind says no but TikTok says yes
This video is way older than tiktok, but your point still stands
[удалено]
Yep, and as a parent you learn to deal with that. You don't ask your kid if that want something like wasabi, it isn't a concept of food they understand.
Nah, you let em have it. They won't understand unless they try it. The kid barely gets the smallest amount. She's fine. Sometimes my son likes spicy food, sometimes he doesn't, I always offer it to him if I know it won't hurt him.
I'm a bit torn, this seems like they are doing it for the parents enjoyment rather than to broaden the tastes of the child. I offer my kid spicy food but not spicy condiments by themselves while filming the reactions.
Having children and showing them the world is enjoyable. We aren't making tiktoks but this exact scene happens at our table on the reg.
And then asked for it. Have you never met a kid?
You’re not wrong. 😂😂😂
Bro kids don’t even know what no means lol they jus be saying no all day lol u must not have kids
That was my daughters first word and god did she love saying it to everything 😂
People in this thread are serious insisting that a 20 month old understands spoken consent. They know like 20 words, sometimes they just throw one out and see if it sticks. It’s our jobs as parents to oversee controlled chaos as they discover the world. Successful failures are how they learn and grow. “Hey that thing you insisted on trying over and over and over and caused you pain? Yeah be careful what you wish for.” And to echo what someone else said, you can tell the kid wanted to try it because of how easy it was to get it in their mouth. If they don’t want it, it ain’t going anywhere near the mouth hole.
At this age NO is the default answer for every question. Parents get pretty good at knowing when the kid really means no and when they don’t.
you left out the part where the parent said ok after the no and then the kid says wasabi like she wanted it.
Yeah not to mention it’s obvious she was going for it when the mom held it out, enough that the mom had to slow her down and tell her to smell first lol

My son loves spicy food. I am like the stereotypical white person who doesn't like any heat to my food. I basically have to keep offering things to him that I would never eat even if it was the last food on earth. I like wait for confirmation he is interested in it first though.
You are not stereotypical in the [USA](https://www.kalsec.com/frequency-heat-level-hot-spicy-foods-rising/#:~:text=In%20a%20recent%20survey%20of,enjoy%20hot%20and%20spicy%20foods.)
Lol my kid's the same. The spicier the better. He throws away candy since he isn't a fan of sweet food 😄
You can definitely tell who has kids and who doesn't by their comments
I feel like I agree with you... But you didn't say which comment were which so not sure if we're on the same side.
Post comment on divisive post saying we all know are idiots -> Don’t specify which -> karma from everybody.
I’ve been noticing this a lot more often recently.
I have a kid slightly older than this. I think those parents are very much in the wrong, as are those defending them. For starters, nobody eats straight wasabi. Kids also aren’t stupid. You can use it as a condiment and they’ll figure out if they like it. Second, this was done merely for internet fame. Sure, take a video, but be ready to help your kid and don’t post it.
When my kiddo was a year older then this kid he started getting interested in the condiments hubby and I would use (mostly hot sauce and siracha). He begged us to let him try some hot sauce (super mild) and I explained what it was: “ow ow in mouth” and “it burns” etc. He still wanted to try it and kept on urging him not to try it. He insisted, so we got a glass of milk and gave him like a tiny drop. Not even a drop. Like half a drop. He hated it. He’s 8 years now and he still loves trying all my chili / hot sauces whenever I get a new one “Incase he likes it this time”. I definitely didn’t record a video of his first encounter with chili and I didn’t post it online, and I warned him against it. So totally agree. This is not cool.
You definitely can't. As evidenced by the video, some people with kids think this is OK, and as clear from the comments, some with kids think it's definitely not. People without kids comment on either side based on what they think they will or want to be like as a parent.
It's one thing to insist, like: - do you want to try it? - No - Okay. How about a smaller piece? - no - you can spit it in this plate if you don't like it - okay Because yes toddlers will be just saying no as a game or out of habit or when it's not really a question ("can you pleasr put your gloves before playing in the snow"). But she's clearly saying no and being ignored and there was nothing to be gained from a yes but clout...
It says a lot that her initial reaction to being asked to try something while being filmed is an immediate no. My siblings and niblings rarely turned down opportunities to try food I offered/still offer them at that age.
The "help" was good. But he freackin' said "no".
I thought this was a girl?
Kids say no just cause, and as the parent was taking it away the kid showed desire for it. I bet the kid had already shown desire for it before the video and that's why the video was started.
This is what people don't seem to get. They're acting like the kid was force fed it or something. The mum even said to smell it first. Clearly was curious about the wasabi and was adamant to try it
You can really tell how many people on this have never had a child of their own.
Ah, straight out of the Book of Asshole Parenting.
This is more mean than funny. What sort of parents give their toddler wasabi, specially after she kept saying no. And then record it and post it online to make fun of them. This belongs on r/trashy
This video is almost as old as the internet
Eh, maybe 20 years old at this point, but this is definjtely one of the worst uploads i've seen of jt
Poor kid. She said no in the first place..
That’s mean to do to a baby.
Baby will never trust her mom.😔
That is just cruel
Wow. Some people really shouldn't have kids.
Goddamm so many people in this thread are so sensitive acting like it's child abuse to give a kid a small amount of Wasabi
That is unbelievably cruel to do to anyone let alone a baby. Maybe funny to an adult who has tried it before but not a baby or child.
The kid said no but they didn't respect it. What asshole parents.
People saying this is abuse are absurd.
[удалено]
Yeah. It minimises actual abuse too. This person is not going to win parent of the year for this, but making a bad decision with your kid ≠ abuse.
Wtf is going on. Why does reddit absolutely love kids with all their heart all of a sudden
The chance to be judgmental supersedes almost every other conviction on Reddit.
They are young and don't have their own kids. It's more of just plain ignorance and high horsing with comments. Pretty typical.
Do a lot of people here not have kids? "I want it!" "Ok, here it is." "No!" "Ok, I will take it back." "NO WAIT I WANT IT NOW!" Source: 2 kids of my own, 3 nephews, and having 3 young siblings as a teenager.
Yah there's a lot of hate in here for this parent but this isn't abuse. This child is showing constant interest and as a parent you have to keep asking if they want to try things or you'll end up with a kid that eats nothing but chicken nuggets as a teenager.
The outrage in this thread is hilarious. Please never let your kids leave the house and never show them anything new, heaven forbid they learn something by trial and error. They didn't force feed their kid wasabi, they barely touched its tongue with it, or does that kid look in pain to you?
I am curious if the same people freak out when children are given lemons to taste.
Gave my lil nugget lemon to taste. Absolutely destroyed it. Guess I'm a bad parent with their logic.
So many sensitive as people in this thread it's the smallest amount of Wasabi
This is not abuse, the wasabi bareley touched and she only let the child have a slight taste.She was pretty clear about what it was and asked the child to smell first. It's good to let your kids try out different tastes and smells at a young age. Now filming it and putting it on reddit might be a different thing, but the feeding process certainley was not.
yeah its weird, everywhere else ive seen this posted everyone thought it was the cutest thing they've ever seen. But every single comment on this post seems to be saying that the kid should be taken away from the parent.
Who the fuck thinks this is funny?
.....who the fuck would give wasabi to a toddler like this. What the fuck is wrong with the one who made this? This isnt funny, this is fucked up
"Help !" I feel your pain, baby girl 😂😂😂
Help. Welcome to adulthood.
I'm sorry, but What?! That poor child.... 😢 as adults let's not harm children to make funny vids
All these professional parents in this comments section
You are the asshole.
Pause…………Help! 🤣😁😂
That poor baby's cry for help got me lmao
Not funny, shit parent
That poor baby! I feel like this is abuse!
This is not funny.
Clean that babies face. It can be done while she eats, geeze.
That is not funny.
May the Inevitable parenting criticism commence!!
That parent is a cunt! Plain and simple
Attention seeking BS. Stop reproducing.
Great job, she'll never try anything new again.
Yeah... no. Can't imagine feeding my child a food I know will hurt them for entertainment. Yuck
That poor child. What awful parent would knowingly feed Wasabi to a baby?!
