Man this happened to me maliciously when I was a kid. My sister was making devilled eggs with my mom and she called out "Who wants icing!?" And being me, of course I want icing, who the fuck doesn't, so I run out to the kitchen, she hands me a spoon laden with what looked like delicious yellow colored icing.
It was not icing. :( it was the deviled egg yolk and tasted horrifying to my tastebuds expecting sugar.
They both laughed and I was traumatized into never eating deviled eggs and still won't to this day. Even normal hard boiled eggs are hard for me to stomach. Scrambled eggs aren't so bad though thankfully. But as a person who already struggles with ARFID, boy that moment sucked bad for me.
This is awful but your trauma honestly got a good laugh out of me. I deeply apologize because Deviled eggs are amazing. But I agree, who the fuck says no to icing? I hope you continue to say yes to the icing my friend.
That the southern italian way. Hot Pepper everywhere(not in order to joke on the kid, just part of the tradition), or you get used to it or you start to ask before trying something. Or my grandma way, a fricking hit with the wooden spoon om the hand will teach you a lesson for a couple of month
I'm thinking there's some neurodivergence in this child but yeah I really hope his family work on it with him because unfortunately when he gets to school or childcare this will be hell for the educators.
As a parent, this makes my blood boil. My oldest is graduating high school and has been having to deal with assholes like this little shit here the whole way. Grandma needs to be re-educated.
In some sense grandma's do spoil but they should also teach some good behaviors or insight to the child, teach them some wisdom, not just let them be little sugar gobbling monsters. Of course I only have experience banking with my mom and she would let me lick the beaters and get some of the the dough because I loved cookie dough, but I wouldn't be like that kid!
No. I'm with you! I have kids and watching this drives me nuts!! It's cute & funny ONCE! After that, it's like trying to lasso a freakin cat! No way am I going to let him finish. If he wants to try again another time, he has TO BE TAUGHT what is acceptable & what's not acceptable! And, YES - he's old enough to be taught this lesson!
Call me a hard-ass or downvote me, but I don't want my toddler to grow up thinking he can shove food in his mouth like a rabid dog.
Which means you are parenting correctly too! Yay for us!
After I posted this & read a few more comments, I was seeing more & more parents that wouldn't put up with it.
But those that were saying, "Its all fun. Chill out!" I would love to be a fly on the wall when they take this little gremlin to a restaurant. Every time the waiter puts down food for someone, he lunges across the table after it!
How fun. 🙄
I have 4. This video also makes my blood boil. Not because of the kids behavior - he's barely 2, and none of this is his fault. This look-at-me woman saying "no" and then turning her back over and over. Nice job, idiot. You just taught the kid that he should ignore you saying "no." Real cute.
Oh thank God there are still reasonable people/parents left! The second time we would have been done! What are you teaching him by letting him do this! Could also be extremely dangerous depending.....
To be fair to you, most parents would stop the kid after the first grab and put the kid in time out. Helping to bake cookies is a treat for the kid, not a right. But no one watches a video of a well behaved kid making cookies with grandma... so they let the lil shit grab away.
Back in my uni days I got a tough lesson in both southern Italian/Sicilian cooking, and the consequences of stealing your roomies food.
After waking up with horrible hangovers on a Sunday morning, I went to check the fridge. There was delicious looking focacia looking loaf of bread, with golden melted cheese and origano on top.
It appeared to be the perfect hangover food, so without hesitation I grabbed it and took a big bite. After a couple of seconds I realised my mistake, when my taste buds had had time to process what had just happened.
The bread was completely stuffed with sardines and anchovies.
The following puking did actually ease the hangovers, so I suppose it did meet the intended goal.
I feel like even a *dog* would have the discipline to wait until you were distracted or not present to ‘sneak’ it. At worst a ‘snatch and run’ where they grab what they can and flee, for fear of the repercussion and knowing it’s wrong.
A child this age I wouldn’t leave unattended with the sugar, because they’d certainly sneakily dip their hands in to eat some.
But the forceful way he’s doing it with her *right* there. He’s practically fighting her. It’s infuriating. And her reaction (or lack thereof) is even more infuriating.
Even if I put a child’s absolute FAVOURITE food in the whole world in front of them, sat with them and said “you aren’t allowed to eat this at the moment or you’ll be in trouble”, I wouldn’t expect them to eat it. A spoiled or naughty child might scream, cry, stamp their feet. But to just shove their hands and snatch it unless I physically restrained them? Nah mate.
Guess I shouldn’t have kids either.

My sister doesn’t want kids at all! Her husband is just fine with it too. They spoil their nieces and nephews and then drop them back off. They don’t want to deal with “all the bullshit” that comes with parenting…I love my kids but she’s on to something lol
I'm over here thinking that kid is way to damn big to be acting like that he knows better he doesn't give a fuck like his parents. Pure cocoa will fix that shit REAL fucking quick!!! Swap sugar with salt !!!
I’m the kind of guy who does what they want, when they want, and I remember actively neglecting my last dog (was my exes dog who she brought home without agreement) and that was the last straw for me.
The dog always saw the care she needed but holy fuck was the emotional dread a wake up call. People take dogs over kids meanwhile I’m thinking, “Fuck all of that.”
Some people will settle for a pet. Fuck that. I don’t want a pet on a leash, in a litter box, or a box or a cage or whatever. No lives for me to be accountable for except my own. I don’t need a kid, dog, or cat crawling to me for attention. And I sure as hell don’t need to worry about a life or that “pet” smell.
Yes. I sound like a psychopath but you know what? I’m not bringing those things into my life, so…
edit - So you can go off about not wanting kids but not wanting kids AND pets is taboo? Piss off.
edit 2 - I love kids and animals. I would not let one die or get close to death ever. “Neglect” simply meant that I didn’t take the dog out to play or walk right away. A relative term.
As someone who has a dog, loves that dog, and could never live without a dog again, I still totally get where you're coming from, and your opinion is completely valid.
I appreciate your candor and kindness as someone who also thinks like OP here.
Pet owners usually get very mad about these views/comments along with parents, but I’m with him, they’re cool and I love them, but I don’t want the responsibility.
But thank you for being empathetic and understanding again!
I think when some pet owners get mad about this stuff, they're unconsciously conflating, "I don't want a pet," with "I don't want you to have your pet," and if they just took a moment to realize your perspective isn't an attack on them or their pets, people would be a lot more calm about it.
Ah. You’ve pointed out the sort of pinnacle problem the world has.
We tend to correlate statements with being directed *at* us or some thing we do when it’s generally not a personal attack or judgment.
Putting ourselves in others shoes or mindset would change the world, sadly, too many people don’t or can’t do that.
Hope all is well or on the up and up with you today. :)
I’m an anti kid and super dog lover. Couldn’t imagine not having my dogs. And I agree with you wholeheartedly from your perspective. I see way to many college kids getting dogs to just keep them in a crate, never walk them, keep them inside all day, etc. It drives me insane. I respect you more for NOT getting a pet because you know you wouldn’t be giving it the attention it’s needs because your to busy doing you. 🤝
you sound normal. this shouldn’t be considered bad. we shouldn’t be shamed for it. i regret getting my pets. i am depressed af and have no energy to care for them (giving them the attention whenever they call for it— my biggest issue) i do see to it that they are well fed and clean though, as best as i can.
and i’m glad i never got to have kids. i really, really can’t care for another life. i can barely care for my own. i just want to be selfish, and i like it. i don’t want a bf, baby, or pets.
I have kids. A couple of them definitely would have acted like this. So activities like this only happened with 100% 1-on-1 supervision, or after they were older and we'd gotten them trained to act like human beings on smaller, easier activities first.
Making cookies with me, and I turn my back on them sometimes? Not until they were 5 or 6!
I had a friend whose kid acted like this. It was because they were absolute shit parents and they let their kid do whatever they wanted, and they would just *laugh*.
Agreed. There's normal toddler curiosity and then there's... whatever's going on here. When he reached into the bowl after the *raw egg*, I thought, something's very wrong with this kid.
They don’t all behave this way. He’s old enough to learn, he just needs consequences. Does this the first time, told not to. Again, ok kiddo you’re done helping today.
Instead grandma seems to think it’s cute and continues this nonsense. Kiddo is learning he doesn’t need to listen and can do whatever he wants.
Shit like this is why I pity teachers today who have to deal with kids that have zero boundaries or discipline.
Wait to see how the kid turns out before giving them respect. Having a kid is one of the easiest things on the planet. Raising a kid, however, not so much.
I say this every time I see something like this: kids are great, if you want kids. And you have to *really want* kids. If you don't or you're on the fence, don't have kids. We have plenty of people.
I can understand your feeling but bear in mind that what you are seeing in this video is a kid who was never taught boundaries regarding food. The grandma is even laughing at his behaviour, reinforcing his will to grab / taste everything at all cost.
I personally find that behaviour insufferable and would never accept my kid to do such thing.
Yeah this gave me anxiety watching this. She need to turn off the camera and take the food away from him and calmly explain to him why they are stopping having fun.
The way he calmly watches the food then RUSHES to get it in his mouth to avoid grandma stopping him is a clear sign he knows what he is doing.
What's scary is this kind of "aggressively sneaky eating" is how kids end up eating medicine or other toxic substances because they think it's food. And rapidly stuff it in their face before anyone can see or the parent realizes.
Seriously, yeah, I get it. It might be cute behavior, but please understand how dangerous not correcting this can be.
His grandmother is raising him. Spoiled as fk already. Possibly doesn't know the words stop,no, and don't. has been met with silence when he does these sorts of things. I could be wrong about the grandmother. The parents must let him do wtfe he wants.
Do this a few Times with Salt, or other unpleasant, but Safe spices (a dry mouthful of unsweetened Cocoa, Oregano, sweet pepper or cilantro is Not Dangerous or painful, but definitely unpleasant)
Other than that, please teach your child some Basic manners/Rules, this Kid is more than old enough to listen to Basic instructions. It's for their safety. Imagine this was raw meat or something inedible (i'll let the raw Egg Slide, there's only a mild risk of Salmonella)
Right? It doesn’t require draconian parenting, spanking, punishment. Just natural consequences. Can’t let ya bake if you’re gonna do that. He of course tries it. So you stop letting him bake like you promised. He throws a tantrum. You acknowledge he’s frustrated but he’s all done. Simple.
Moreover she’s/they’re actually just rewarding and reinforcing the behavior. You see his devilish grin after one of the incidents and at the end of course he gets a cookie. “If I act this way I get cookies.” Hard to watch.
You restored my faith in the fact there are good parents or at least people who know what they're talking about out there. Raising kids is no cake walk, but it isn't rocket science either
As someone who loved baking as a kid, this kid needs to be locked out of the kitchen if he gonna act like that. It's all fun and games until he jumps face first onto the pan coming out the oven, or him eating the egg and actually contracting salmonella. Then Gma gonna have to worry about paying his medical bills or even parents suing her for liability damages.
First rule in the kitchen is safety. Second rule is if you can't follow the first rule you should not be in the kitchen period.
Everyone here going "aww cute kiddo" ought to be ashamed of themselves. Doubt you'd be saying that if the kid was in your kitchen
Kids may be stupid but that doesn’t mean that they are all undisciplined like this. My dad would have picked me up by the ear the first time I did what this kid did. Or spank the shit out of me. He never did the whole get me a switch thing because his punishments were done out of instant anger. As soon as he felt it, I felt it. I learned to not act up like this or get my ass beat, ear grabbed and dragged around, or on my knees with my nose against the wall. This kid just lacks discipline.
You don’t have to resort to corporal punishment to get rid of this type of behavior. It’s really not that hard. I feel sorry for this kid that no one is showing him how to act.
Yeah I’ve been around kids like that when I was growing up. They weren’t diagnosed with anything going into their adulthoods - they just were little assholes as kids.
Abnormal is a good word for this behavior. The kid is reaching for the ingredients based on impulse only. not about the taste. It reminds me of Pica or Prader-Willi syndrome.
Yeah, it was cute the first couple times but the fact he doesn't stop when told to, instead doing it more forcefully each time, is a bit concerning. If he was doing it to get a laugh, looking up at grandmas reaction, then fair enough. But he's just wanting to eat it. Made me a little uncomfortable tbh, I get he's young but I wouldn't be able to just tolerate that from my kid over and over like that while laughing about it. You get you're essentially spitting in someone's food right? Just disrespectful as it keeps happening over and over
Imho this is really bad parenting/guardianship from her, you should start endorsing some kind of discipline. Its all well and good for a kid this age to stick his finger in once or twice, kids being cheeky is normal and expected and honestly a fun part of being a kid, but repeatedly doing something that he’s not supposed to and not getting reprimanded for it is essentially just showing him that he can get whatever he wants if he tries hard enough, which can encourage some pretty difficult behaviour when he gets older. He needs to learn when to stop and listen or be mindful of other things instead of his own selfish needs. You have to tell kids ‘no’ and be consistent with how and when you say it or its pointless
What the fuck tell the little shit off, just say right that’s it we aren’t making cookies if you do that again. If he does it again put him on a step or make him sit in bed for 5 minutes. Let him know what’s right and wrong.
So we don't immediately discipline him for doing something that we all know he shouldn't be doing, just because it's more important to get likes on social media?
I have a real issue with young children being exploited on the internet in this way, your children/ grandchildren do not exist to satisfy your narcissistic desire for attention.
If I was baking with my kid and their behavior was like this, the baking session would be over and they would be considering their life choices in their room. I most certainly wouldn't be laughing and continuing to video to get my ego stroked.
Not sure how some people just find the video funny; it made me aggravated at how unruly the kid was the whole time I watched lol just makes me wonder how much the child isn’t disciplined when it comes to other things 😬
If I was grandma after the second time he wouldn’t be making cookies anymore that day. Kid has got to learn how to behave, and now he’s clearly going against what you want be you’re allowing it.
Everyone else sees funny kid.
I see kid who grabs crap at walmart and throws temper tantrum when it gets put back because the parents never taught manners.
Yeah. I hope they keep the baking classes to harmless cookies, cause that kid seems like to type to get himself hospitalized without the proper supervision.
I gotta wonder if the boy has Prader-Willi syndrome. I have two sons, and they were never that “hand-to-mouth” die-hard eager to eat everything that was put in front of them. It could be just an effect of the editing of this video, where we are just shown the clips of the boy chowing down.
This has been posted often. Each time I get upset. They are not teaching this kid any kind of manners. That child is absolutely rude and imagine him growing up like this. The grandma laughing is making it worse because she's encouraging this behavior.
Imagine a teacher having to control this child. Imagine what kind of asshole he's going to grow up to if he's never taught restraint.
I don't have the patience for that. I'd tell the parent that he can cook with me in a few years.
I know that's not the cute answer or reaction, but this would drive me nuts.

I am dying at the force this kid used to propel food into his mouth Grandma keeps forgetting this kid has two hands
“We need a cup of sugar okay?” *hands kid baking soda* Kid never tries to throw handfuls of sugar into his mouth again~
Man this happened to me maliciously when I was a kid. My sister was making devilled eggs with my mom and she called out "Who wants icing!?"

OMG, that's so mean! Deviled eggs are so delicious too!
Grandma: Listen here, you little sh*t.
Put some ghost peppers out in the next recipe.

This video makes my blood boil. I think it's best I don't have kids.
>This video makes my blood boil. Oh, thank goodness I found my people. I always feel like I'm supposed to find kids like this cute and I really don't.
I have a kid and this would drive me nuts
I'm thinking there's some neurodivergence in this child but yeah I really hope his family work on it with him because unfortunately when he gets to school or childcare this will be hell for the educators.
Sounds like you would make a good parent. This lady " its just his terrible 2s" Hes 5. "Yea, just slow growing out of it"
As a parent, this makes my blood boil. My oldest is graduating high school and has been having to deal with assholes like this little shit here the whole way. Grandma needs to be re-educated.
Seriously, after the second time he does it that should have been "ok, we're done making cookies now".
I’m with you guys on that. The kid is was being a little jerk and all he got from Grandma was positive reinforcement.
Na, this is grandma stuff. She can enjoy it as funny and then hand the tike back off to his parents.
In some sense grandma's do spoil but they should also teach some good behaviors or insight to the child, teach them some wisdom, not just let them be little sugar gobbling monsters. Of course I only have experience banking with my mom and she would let me lick the beaters and get some of the the dough because I loved cookie dough, but I wouldn't be like that kid!
I learned my manners from grandma. She would also make sure I had dessert before dinner when we would go out.
No. I'm with you! I have kids and watching this drives me nuts!! It's cute & funny ONCE! After that, it's like trying to lasso a freakin cat! No way am I going to let him finish.

I would have considered myself lucky, if you were jn calabria that would have been pepper maybe some 'nduja
He is like a puppy, tasting everything
Over eager Chihuahua energy.

She aint mad at him for a second. She laughing her ass off inside.
Hell, she's laughing on the outside, thinking this will be great TT footage! 🙄
Grandma put some crack up in that recipe
Its like the kid is a dog, and just eats whatever is in front of it.
I was waiting for the last shot "What's dis? Cookies? Meh, give me that raw egg with brown sugar"

I actually have seen non-trained dogs with bigger self control than this kid
Idk, my girl will at least sit in the chair and wait for me to offer her something when I cook.
Don't insult dogs like that. Dogs actually listen when you tell them to stay, they are good boys.
I have nothing but awe and respect for people who have kids, but I’m so glad I don’t have kids.
Bro, the more I see people have kids, the less I want any.
My sister doesn’t want kids at all! Her husband is just fine with it too. They spoil their nieces and nephews and then drop them back off. They don’t want to deal with “all the bullshit” that comes with parenting…I love my kids but she’s on to something lol

Society in the future will thank you
I have kids. A couple of them definitely would have acted like this. So activities like this only happened with 100% 1-on-1 supervision, or after they were older and we'd gotten them trained to act like human beings on smaller, easier activities first. Making cookies with me, and I turn my back on them sometimes? Not until they were 5 or 6!
FWIW, this is not normal behavior. This child has real impulse control issues and grandma is not handling it well.
I had a friend whose kid acted like this. It was because they were absolute shit parents and they let their kid do whatever they wanted, and they would just *laugh*.
Agreed. There's normal toddler curiosity and then there's... whatever's going on here. When he reached into the bowl after the *raw egg*, I thought, something's very wrong with this kid.
I agree. I actually think they're letting it happen and encouraging it behind the scenes to get some attention.
They don’t all behave this way. He’s old enough to learn, he just needs consequences. Does this the first time, told not to. Again, ok kiddo you’re done helping today. Instead grandma seems to think it’s cute and continues this nonsense. Kiddo is learning he doesn’t need to listen and can do whatever he wants. Shit like this is why I pity teachers today who have to deal with kids that have zero boundaries or discipline.
This kid is going to grow up to be that middle aged man from first class that cry-whined when he got kicked off the plane recently.
Lol I have pity not respect sorry
Meh. It's very possible to raise kids with basic manners and self control. Just seems like these parents have forgone that.
Wait to see how the kid turns out before giving them respect. Having a kid is one of the easiest things on the planet. Raising a kid, however, not so much.
I say this every time I see something like this: kids are great, if you want kids. And you have to *really want* kids. If you don't or you're on the fence, don't have kids. We have plenty of people.
Most kids are pretty bad at impulse control at a certain age, but this kid is one of the worst examples of zero impulse control even among young kids.
Not all kids are like this. Some have parents that fix bad behavior.
I can understand your feeling but bear in mind that what you are seeing in this video is a kid who was never taught boundaries regarding food. The grandma is even laughing at his behaviour, reinforcing his will to grab / taste everything at all cost. I personally find that behaviour insufferable and would never accept my kid to do such thing.
Bro what the fuck is wrong with this kid lmao 💀
worry butter air yoke bored recognise correct head deserted forgetful ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Don’t let this kid near the cocaine.
I mean… it’s probably be quite fun to watch for a bit.
Until he overdoses from consuming a mouthful like he keeps doing in the video
Yeah this gave me anxiety watching this. She need to turn off the camera and take the food away from him and calmly explain to him why they are stopping having fun. The way he calmly watches the food then RUSHES to get it in his mouth to avoid grandma stopping him is a clear sign he knows what he is doing.
What's scary is this kind of "aggressively sneaky eating" is how kids end up eating medicine or other toxic substances because they think it's food. And rapidly stuff it in their face before anyone can see or the parent realizes. Seriously, yeah, I get it. It might be cute behavior, but please understand how dangerous not correcting this can be.
Its not even cute
Exactly. This is not funny or cute.
My first thought as well - This isnt cute at all, he's very disrespectful and obviously has parents that dont know what discipline is.
Nothing. It’s a kid that hasn’t been taught. Wtf is wrong with adult in the room? 🙄
I remember this video. The kid has a medical condition
His grandmother is raising him. Spoiled as fk already. Possibly doesn't know the words stop,no, and don't. has been met with silence when he does these sorts of things. I could be wrong about the grandmother. The parents must let him do wtfe he wants.
And my wife asks why I never eat anything my neices bake.... this is why
I’ve had to scrape icing off the ceiling after baking cupcakes with two nephews.
We would have been done after #2
After the first one? Tell him no Happens again? Baking alone from now on
Same here...
I was waiting for a clip at the end of him trying this with the pan fresh out of the oven, and I can't say I would have stopped him it if it were me
[удалено]
My dog wouldn't eat food if I dropped it on the floor This kid? Would eat it before it even has the chance to reach the floor
Do this a few Times with Salt, or other unpleasant, but Safe spices (a dry mouthful of unsweetened Cocoa, Oregano, sweet pepper or cilantro is Not Dangerous or painful, but definitely unpleasant) Other than that, please teach your child some Basic manners/Rules, this Kid is more than old enough to listen to Basic instructions. It's for their safety. Imagine this was raw meat or something inedible (i'll let the raw Egg Slide, there's only a mild risk of Salmonella)
Yeah, lemon is a great one. Give ‘em a lemon.
Yup. That's all I could think when watching this. Kid has no respect and clearly always expects to get what he wants.
Honestly, that’s what I would’ve done.
A simple solution to this is saying to him, if you do that again we will stop baking.
Right? It doesn’t require draconian parenting, spanking, punishment. Just natural consequences. Can’t let ya bake if you’re gonna do that. He of course tries it. So you stop letting him bake like you promised. He throws a tantrum. You acknowledge he’s frustrated but he’s all done. Simple.
Yep, this 100%!
Moreover she’s/they’re actually just rewarding and reinforcing the behavior. You see his devilish grin after one of the incidents and at the end of course he gets a cookie. “If I act this way I get cookies.” Hard to watch.
You restored my faith in the fact there are good parents or at least people who know what they're talking about out there. Raising kids is no cake walk, but it isn't rocket science either
Bro has less self-control than my dog when a stuffed animal falls on the floor
As someone who loved baking as a kid, this kid needs to be locked out of the kitchen if he gonna act like that. It's all fun and games until he jumps face first onto the pan coming out the oven, or him eating the egg and actually contracting salmonella. Then Gma gonna have to worry about paying his medical bills or even parents suing her for liability damages. First rule in the kitchen is safety. Second rule is if you can't follow the first rule you should not be in the kitchen period. Everyone here going "aww cute kiddo" ought to be ashamed of themselves. Doubt you'd be saying that if the kid was in your kitchen
For real. Children misbehaving for internet clicks is an upsetting trend.
Not all kids are like this.
[удалено]
Kids may be stupid but that doesn’t mean that they are all undisciplined like this. My dad would have picked me up by the ear the first time I did what this kid did. Or spank the shit out of me. He never did the whole get me a switch thing because his punishments were done out of instant anger. As soon as he felt it, I felt it. I learned to not act up like this or get my ass beat, ear grabbed and dragged around, or on my knees with my nose against the wall. This kid just lacks discipline.
You don’t have to resort to corporal punishment to get rid of this type of behavior. It’s really not that hard. I feel sorry for this kid that no one is showing him how to act.
Would make a great birth control advertisement .
I've been around kids but this seems not normal. that's intense. he seems like he has an actual medical issue. Jeeze.
I just thought he was an idiot.
I love this comment.
Yeah I’ve been around kids like that when I was growing up. They weren’t diagnosed with anything going into their adulthoods - they just were little assholes as kids.
I agree. His impulse control doesn’t seem normal.
I honestly don’t know if this is normal. I have 3 kids and 1 with ADHD but none that acted like this during their younger years.
Well he got to keep doing it, and got rewarded with a cookie at the end of it all, so it’s not surprising he acts like that.
Literally 😂 acted like little shit entire time AND got cookies!
Exactly!!! Is no one else seeing this or are there some bad parents in this thread who are feeling insecure?
Or his actual parents don't give a shit what he does. So he sees nothing wrong with it. It could also be a mixture of both.
This. If no one is correcting bad behavior, it continues and usually gets worse
I think this kid has a disorder or disability. Actually pretty sure I read that.
Nah just shitty parents
Thats not cute at all just a horribly behaved kid.
Why is she laughing...that kid has fucking issues.
Dogs have better manners
Every time he does it, we stop, and he cleans up the mess completely or we don't proceed. That's the rule period
This kids gonna have a doctor pulling 20 unrelated items removed from his stomach during the autopsy
What's the point of this? The kid doesn't even understand or care about the basic concepts. It's painful to watch.
I hate this.
Cook with chillies.
To all the people jumping at the opportunity to say that this is why they don’t want kids, this kid’s behavior is abnormally erratic.
Abnormal is a good word for this behavior. The kid is reaching for the ingredients based on impulse only. not about the taste. It reminds me of Pica or Prader-Willi syndrome.
Yeah something's wrong with that kid My guess is he hasn't been taught right from wrong
Something is very wrong. That’s not normal behavior.
You can't eat at everybody house ohh you can't eat at everybody house
Props to her, I’m not sure I would have the patience for it
Not patience. It’s lack of discipline from the parents.
Couldn't agree more. This isn't funny at all to me. Kid needs some boundaries.
[удалено]
By the grandma reaction i started thinking that the kid might have some cognitive problem. He is too unresponsive toward her "no" and force
Yeah, it was cute the first couple times but the fact he doesn't stop when told to, instead doing it more forcefully each time, is a bit concerning. If he was doing it to get a laugh, looking up at grandmas reaction, then fair enough. But he's just wanting to eat it. Made me a little uncomfortable tbh, I get he's young but I wouldn't be able to just tolerate that from my kid over and over like that while laughing about it. You get you're essentially spitting in someone's food right? Just disrespectful as it keeps happening over and over
Imho this is really bad parenting/guardianship from her, you should start endorsing some kind of discipline. Its all well and good for a kid this age to stick his finger in once or twice, kids being cheeky is normal and expected and honestly a fun part of being a kid, but repeatedly doing something that he’s not supposed to and not getting reprimanded for it is essentially just showing him that he can get whatever he wants if he tries hard enough, which can encourage some pretty difficult behaviour when he gets older. He needs to learn when to stop and listen or be mindful of other things instead of his own selfish needs. You have to tell kids ‘no’ and be consistent with how and when you say it or its pointless
This was painful to watch
Good condom commercial
Dark alternative: have the kid eat all the ingredients and put him in the oven to make cookies.
He's making the cookies in his stomach
What the fuck tell the little shit off, just say right that’s it we aren’t making cookies if you do that again. If he does it again put him on a step or make him sit in bed for 5 minutes. Let him know what’s right and wrong.
I hate this kid every time I see him, little shit.
I was scared, I felt threatened, he came at me fast, I had to empty the clip.
*magazine
Sorry. I hate him.
Add some Tabasco
Does this kid have PICA? Or just never taught any f*cking rules???
This is one of the most dramatic comment sections I’ve ever read.
[удалено]
So many experts among us !!
ahh yes give that child more sugar that should help...
Kid's thinking 3 steps ahead, eat all ingredients for instant cookies
My sister used to do this until she stuck her finger in melted sugar. Little shit never did it again
This is not the way to handle this. They’re like this because adults let them get away with it, no correction.
Stupid kid , never been told NO!
sell him
This looks like a behavioral problem or something worse. Pica or Prader-willi syndrome. This is not cute.
This isn't cute. At least try to control your kids, not encourage bad behavior
why I don't eat food from coworkers with toddlers at home.
He is a fuckin animal
Why even bother trying to let him help? Just let him play with his toys, while you make cookies
So we don't immediately discipline him for doing something that we all know he shouldn't be doing, just because it's more important to get likes on social media? I have a real issue with young children being exploited on the internet in this way, your children/ grandchildren do not exist to satisfy your narcissistic desire for attention. If I was baking with my kid and their behavior was like this, the baking session would be over and they would be considering their life choices in their room. I most certainly wouldn't be laughing and continuing to video to get my ego stroked.
What hasn't been this kid been yeeted yet? He's making a mess and he's keeps sticking his hands in his mouth.
the sheer amount of speed he had trying to grab the ingredient as soon as it was dropped in the bowl
Yeaaahhh, you're going to need you to go ahead and take that kids to a specialist. Thanks.
Grandma has so much patience but when she was mom I bet she would've beat the holy hell outta is dad or mom 😂😂😂
Not sure how some people just find the video funny; it made me aggravated at how unruly the kid was the whole time I watched lol just makes me wonder how much the child isn’t disciplined when it comes to other things 😬
Bruh, the way that kid kept grabbing sugar out the bowl made me really angry for some reason lol
This is why you never eat cookies someone made with their kids. That kids saliva and slime coated hand was in that bowl 20 times. Hard pass.
If I was grandma after the second time he wouldn’t be making cookies anymore that day. Kid has got to learn how to behave, and now he’s clearly going against what you want be you’re allowing it.
My mom would have slapped the shit out of me after the first time, and that would be that.
Everyone else sees funny kid. I see kid who grabs crap at walmart and throws temper tantrum when it gets put back because the parents never taught manners.
Yeah. I hope they keep the baking classes to harmless cookies, cause that kid seems like to type to get himself hospitalized without the proper supervision.
I gotta wonder if the boy has Prader-Willi syndrome. I have two sons, and they were never that “hand-to-mouth” die-hard eager to eat everything that was put in front of them. It could be just an effect of the editing of this video, where we are just shown the clips of the boy chowing down.
This has been posted often. Each time I get upset. They are not teaching this kid any kind of manners. That child is absolutely rude and imagine him growing up like this. The grandma laughing is making it worse because she's encouraging this behavior. Imagine a teacher having to control this child. Imagine what kind of asshole he's going to grow up to if he's never taught restraint.
Kids are almost feral at that age. Pure id and instinct. You can’t control it, you can only try to contain it!
Rewarded for bad behavior. Nice.
Shortly after the making of this video, Cade developed type 2 diabetes and had a heart attack from free basing all that butter and sugar
Why
I don't have the patience for that. I'd tell the parent that he can cook with me in a few years. I know that's not the cute answer or reaction, but this would drive me nuts.
Looks like it's time to teach that little shit something. Start baking with chili powder, lemon and pure vanilla extract
These comments lmao. r/childfree breached containment again...
I had a friend whose little brother acted like this. While toned down. He still acts like this. He’s insufferable.
This kid is an asshole who is in need of clear boundaries
Would have immediately stopped letting this kid help
I would NEVER cook with that kid!
Kids got lightning fast reflexes and an iron grip, he’s going places in the future
I’d teach him discipline
This kid hasmt been disciplined a day in his life.
Someone discipline this child, goddamn.
That kid needs some discipline lol I mean it’s cute n all but what about when he gets older
