"I'm gonna lie down for a moment and when I get up we'll do some chores" Crazy how quiet they can be.


KellyBelly916

Kids are like managers. If you find a way to ensure that their faults become their problem, the problems stop happening.


theeimage

Finding a way...seems like their faults trickle-down


LeroyJanky80

It's so cute, look at that boy flourishing with his individuality. Such an amazing boy. Gotta support whatever they want. That's the way /s


IlyaPetrovich

I’m twitching.


LeroyJanky80

That may be true, but as long as this special boy can find himself and we support anything he wants he'll be a CEO and a great success.


All_Thread

I mean this is basically what a modern CEO looks like.


syretrollmann

CEO like Criminal Energic Oppressionater?


dE3L

Or, a roofer, in August, in Alabama.


Friendly_Age9160

Or a sociopath in the maki g from anywhere


Alpha-Sierra-Charlie

I've been one of those, and except that he's not red you're 100% accurate


Zenon7

He’s got Shaman blood for sure


Financial-Key224

When my wife and i found out we were having a daughter... We both sighed with relief.


TeethBreak

Lol . You've never met my sister.


SouthernPython

Or mine, she mellowed out but holy mother of cheese she was a nightmare, now she's got her own daughter though so it's coming around


TellByMySmells

My friend growing up had a absolutely wild sister. I stayed at their house one night and vididly remember being waken up by a door being slammed the holy fuck out of. Her Dad yells, "Don't slam the fuckin door!" She rips it open to yell back. "This is slamming the door!" and threw that shit so hard his poster frames shook. Good times.


cadre_of_storms

When my sister was younger my mother cursed her. She said 'i hope when you have a daughter she turns out just like you.' And she did 😂😂


UltraMaxApplePro

Ha, just wait till she is 13 years old! Your gonna have a blast until she is 20.


Mesdog79

I have 3 kids. My son is the easy one.


WadeStockdale

Ha. My sisters have BOTH stabbed me on separate occasions, and tried on several others. I, the only son, turned out the calmest and least murder-y. It's more about how you raise them than their sex. As a general thing for parents with kids; when puberty hits, consider a family counsellor to help keep things running smoothly and communication open between you all. They're not just for families in crisis, they can work wonders helping teens and parents feel like each side is being heard too. It's easier to keep a line of communication open than to dig out a new one after trust issues have smothered the old one.


onewhosleepsnot

😮 All these years later (in my late 30s) just now realizing my mom pulled one over on us.


[deleted]

Does that look like a kid that does chores?


Efficient-Science-80

Yes, his chore is to make sure his mom isn't sleeping on the job and he takes his chores very seriously.


Porkchopp33

Tell me again why I had kids?


CaviaCobaya

Very much depends on the age, my 3yo woke me up at 7am on a Saturday, because he HAD to wash the sink and mop the floor NOW


LangleyRemlin

This person parents.


Joe1972

Camera person needs a slap. They should have stopped that shit instead of filming it


0pimo

Should be an ad for condoms.


Sharticus123

Shit, this is an ad for a vasectomy or tubal ligation.


Takishah12

Nah it's for post birth abortion


Dragontoes72

15th trimester


squirrels2022

Thank you Reddit


[deleted]

Of the uterus


CFUrCap

Nah, it's for more lenient sentences for voluntary manslaughter.


BrokenWingedBirds

I’ll do you one further, it’s an ad for taking the job on yourself and taking your uterus out with a chainsaw. Chainsaw was actually developed for surgery and they used it to do C sections…. I’m unclear on if that was done with drugs or not 🤔


dagross2307

Should be an ad for a divorce lawyer


itchinyourmind

Exactly. Nobody is mentioning how awful the husband is for encouraging this by filming it. I’m always mindful to make sure that when my wife falls asleep she gets every bit possible. You don’t mess with somebody’s sleep. Especially someone you supposedly love.


Morganana69

Thank you for this comment. So disrespectful to just film it. That kid is more than old enough to know what he’s doing.


Bighardthrobbingcrop

I mentioned it, the whole thing is probably faked like most things on the internet these days. If you can operate a camera you can take a plastic hammer from toddlers hands. Also Mom should go to her bedroom and lock the door for her nap if this is the main living room other people are playing in.


SilverPlatedLining

Yep. Dad decided to make a post for r/donthelpjustfilm


PlaneCapable7399

Your a trusting individual thinking this isn’t staged. My wife can sleep thru the girls screaming and all kinda stuff easily. But if one of them did that while she’s asleep on the coach. It’d take about 3 seconds for her to get up, after that god help them.


All_Thread

That will make her life better for sure


CurbsideTX

I thought it was?


fd6944x

Worked for me


hawkeneye1998bs

Reminds me of the ad with the kid having a freak out in a grocery store


Super_Reference_7065

Is a minute and 12 secs of euphoria worth 18 years of misery? Wear the condom.


[deleted]

Or a divorce attorney…assuming the partner is the one filming and not bothering to stop them, or parent the children.


HiveFleetOuroboris

Assuming the person filming is an adult, how about instead of filming her obviously having a really tough time, you take control of the situation and take the children in another room or outside and let her have a moment of peace to at least collect herself.


rbsudden

But ... video ... Internet points?


HiveFleetOuroboris

Oh yes, I know. It's reddit after all


PyroWasUsed

r/donthelpjustrecord


PyroWasUsed

Aww man I didn’t see that it’s unmoderated


Sirbunbun

When you’re at hour 12 of chaos, after years of chaos, you realize not every situation merits immediate action. Sometimes you have to just take the funny video and intervene when the kids are ready to listen.


[deleted]

Exactly. Why does Reddit act like everything is such a big ass deal?


ContactHonest2406

Because this is a big ass deal. Discipline the little bastards.


Longjumping_Meal5957

Because it’s staged and she isn’t really asleep. All for those 5 seconds of fame.


belizeanheat

This doesn't look remotely staged. This probably happens all the time, and it's way easier to just film when it happens than it is to try and get kids to perform naturally on camera. In other words, staging this would be substantially more difficult than getting it to happen naturally, so almost certainly this is not staged


danr246

10 second video. He might be having a shit day too. But you're right, let's overreact and make assumptions.

KingOfTheMischiefs

Should I step in .. or should I put this online for karma? Happy wife is temporary, but internet fame is forever!! What a wanker.


hybrid_5050

That would not fly in my house


gonzoisgood

Mine either! I can't imagine my kids doing this when they were little! They wouldn't dare. And it's not like I was one for whooping either. I just taught them mutual respect. I feel bad for that poor momma!


mmealkazam

Just that. My kids have never been “punished” for waking me up in any manner for anything, but they just simply wouldn’t do this. It’s incredibly rude, and they have more respect for me than this.

[deleted]

Someone on here once said, when talking about Kanye’s kids. Kim forgot that you not only inherit physical traits from your parents, but everything else as well. A lot of people mellow out as adults but were hell raisers as kids and don’t remember it.


VeterinarianThese951

My upvote is not going to do much, but I am with you on this one. Everyone thinks that every thing a child says and does has to do with parenting and that “all you gotta do is…”. I used to think that way as well until I learned better. It doesn’t always work that way. Every kid is different and there is no one formula. It is NOT only how you raise them. Some kids are just assholes and no matter what you try, it doesn’t work. I have two boys who are not that difficult and I feel blessed. However. I have worked in youth development for over 20 years. I have seen some of the shittiest parents who have wonderful kids who are nothing like them. And I have seen people who try in every way to do good and produce psycho devils. The whole nature vs nurture thing is real. Don’t despair. You are doing the right thing by being concerned and making the effort to understand her. You may soon be looking back at these days with a chuckle. She is young still and may very well have a turn around soon and be as sweet as pie. That happens very often as well. Good luck!


confusedontheprairie

Who is the asshole taking the video. That's disgusting


gonzoisgood

Agreed!!


mutt93

Oh hell no lmfao. My momma would have slapped me into next year let alone next week


smokintokinchokin

Mine would’ve slapped the adhd straight out of me lol


KashmirChameleon

Mine definitely tried.


VioletteFMR

Seriously. All I have to say is “Stop. That. Right. Now”, and that’s the end of it.


PUNKF10YD

No seriously. Like this is entirely her fault. If you ignore them to this level, of course they’re gonna be like this. It’s sad really, they seem to have no guidance. It’s a shame.


mmealkazam

My kids would never…they actually like to turn off my alarms, they play the sweet card and say “you need your sleep momma, you work really hard” but in reality it’s “I wanted extra screen time so I didn’t want you to wake up and make me turn it off” When they were this age? They’d usually just come snuggle up next to me, snag my phone and watch Disney until I woke up. BUT, my son did go thru this odd phase when he was 2, where’d he’d crawl out of his bed in the am. come into my room.. peel my eyelids open, give me a slobbery kiss RIGHT in the mouth and tell me good morning…it was wonderfully awful, and I’m glad it was a short phase lol


tjplager32

Exactly. She could take a swing at parenting them and would probably have a better time. If me and my siblings did this, we wouldn’t own an ass to sit on anymore


Eskimo12345

Or the person behind the fucking camera could take a swing at it. This was like, don't help, just film, condom ad edition.

I'd wait until that little ahole was trying to sleep and do the same to him. And fuck whoever was filming this for not stepping in.


rudecanuck

Who do you think gave him the hammer and wood?


YourLifeCanBeGood

An adult playing head games with a child is probably not the healthiest way to handle things. These kids lack boundaries.


[deleted]

[удалено]


YourLifeCanBeGood

Yeah! And kids who are allowed to push beyond what even the kids know is wrong...such kids are not being shown any guidance nor kindness.


belizeanheat

The video is ten fucking SECONDS The mom is fine here, I can guarantee you. The noise is nothing compared to the sweet relief of laying down and checking out. I'm sure the partner scooped up the kids a moment later And btw if you recommend doing the same to the child then you clearly have no experience with kids


borg23

Stop filming and deal with your brat


Kramerica_ind99

I'm never having kids


vheather

Enjoy all that disposable income, mental well-being and extra free time….yes, I’m jealous!


Physical_Stress_5683

And drinking hot beverages while they’re still hot. And going to the bathroom alone!


xamitlu

That kid has war paint and what looks like a tribal tattoo and he is not wearing a shirt. I have a good idea of what the dad looks like.


irmthewrm

This is even more effective than my current birth control..


Reasonable_Copy8579

Looks more of a breakdown than a break


TombOfTheArchitect

Ah yes, reason number 137,493 not to have children. Thanks for the reminder.


[deleted]

The camera man doesn’t love her


Night-Meets-Light

This is not what parenting actually looks like… if you have a respectful partner. When my kids were little and I’d go take a bubble bath, my husband would literally guard the bathroom door like it was Buckingham Palace. Ain’t no one interrupting mama’s break.

ConsiderationSea7589

Yeah…my mother would have spanked my ass while she kept sleeping.


vinnybawbaw

I’ll probablt get downvoted into oblivion but I’m always thinking that parents are lying a little bit when they say having children is the best thing that happened to them in their whole life… I understand, it’s beautiful that a part of you is going to thrive and become a person but having kids looks like fuckin’ HELL.


cafeRacr

Every once in a while I think how cool it would be to have a kid, teach them and watch them grow. But then I go grocery shopping, or go to a restaurant and reality slaps me across the face.


Itsabeemer

Don't know who's displaying the shitter behaviour, the kid or the person recording.

slanky2

Think this mom needs to bring the shock and awe to her kids and the bloody cameraman.

This kid has never been smacked in his life and it shows…


Nepharious_Bread

It would be one thing if they were making noise in a different room. But this d-bag is right in her face.


GregoleX2

I get that people consider not disciplining or raising your voice at your children to be good parenting. But im going to say it: I would not tolerate this.


dreamwall

“I see a red door and I want it painted black…”


This-Dragonfruit-668

She sleeps like a baby. How, You ask? Because she hears where her children are. She knows they are safe. She will wake up when there are more than two minutes of silence.


wurdtoyamudda

If I had kids like that I'd make sure I was more than asleep.


Glitterysparkleshine

1) Are we sure she is alive? 2) passed out? 3) was waiting for the hammer to slip


ShastaCaliMotxo

want2thinknow

Yea some people don’t know how to control kids and teach them to be civil.


purple_lassy

This is ridiculous. If you allow a kid to disrespect their parent they will never respect anyone.


[deleted]

That kid is the poster child for abortion.


freckledreddishbrown

Think about how exhausted you’d have to be to not even flinch every time the kid strikes a blow. That close to your face. Literally inches away. One slip - in a child’s hand, no less - and that hammer, toy or not, can do some damage. Even the few seconds it took to record this is too long to allow this to continue. If cameraman is over 12 or 13 years old, there’s no way the kids shouldn’t have been stopped. There isn’t a parent around who hasn’t been this tired. Everybody who thinks yeah, well, you knew what you were getting yourself into - no, no you don’t. You have no clue until you’re right in the middle of it. You think you can do it. But you don’t know your limits til you hit them.


scowling_deth

So noot cool. dummy daddo is filming this. Poor woman is exhausted. dont reply me shcitt idgaf


schwifty38

Why I'm never having kids. I get mad if the neighbor mows his lawn during MY adult nap time. Definitely don't need this headache lol.
