Mom of the year in Northern Ireland

SexyKOT69 · 2012-11-16T14:09:16+00:00

The picture is photoshopped... This is Ukraine. And that is Ukrainian language cut out of the original. I know because I live here... Shame on you OP...

Edit: Also - Ulster Bank logo added...

Edit 2: Some people have reported NSFW ads or popup windows on the website... I didn't get any, but still I changed the link for imgur. Sorry everybody!

johnsmcjohn · 2012-11-16T12:05:19+00:00

What a horrible person. Letting a child ride a bike without a helmet. She should be ashamed.

seaney · 2012-11-16T13:53:37+00:00

'Mom' in Northern Ireland? I don't think so. Try using 'ma' instead.

yen223 · 2012-11-16T12:40:03+00:00

I remember hearing a mother saying that the toddler leash sounds like a terrible idea, until your child decides he really needs to run into a lake.

ScratchThatItch · 2012-11-16T13:53:43+00:00

If you're gonna leash your kid, this.

Megamedic · 2012-11-16T14:08:43+00:00

Repost..

FoodBeerBikesMusic · 2012-11-16T14:10:25+00:00

That's just wrong. Any fool knows you're supposed to use a pinch collar to keep the little bastard's speed in check.

eat-your-corn-syrup · 2012-11-16T14:10:36+00:00

Reminds me of this man who got rejected from a bus for having his girlfriend on a leash

meatyjuan · 2012-11-16T13:58:48+00:00

Dog collars always screw Irish kids over one way or another.

xounds · 2012-11-16T12:56:22+00:00

Just for reference: there are plenty of Ulster Bank branches outside of Northern Ireland and in fact there is a significant amount of Ulster outside of Northern Ireland.

Eoiny · 2012-11-16T14:23:55+00:00

I could point out that there are Ulster Banks all over Ireland but fuck it, nah, let them take the blame...

AgewithRage · 2012-11-16T11:22:22+00:00

She was getting too much shite for the shock collar, felt this was the better option.

What I find amusing in this picture is actually the fact that the Royal Bank of Scotland is called Ulster bank in Northern Ireland.

tallgordon · 2012-11-16T14:09:54+00:00

You gotta use a choker on a five year old, or they won't respect you and shit in your shoes.

sometimesijustdont · 2012-11-16T14:11:44+00:00

That kid is going to have neck and back problems his entire life.

FurriesRuinEverythin · 2012-11-16T14:20:19+00:00

You know some of us actually enjoy this.

Annnnnnd.......REPOST!

percafluviatilis · 2012-11-16T12:47:02+00:00

Fake as far as I remember. Also, maybe from Poland.

Faps_McTickle · 2012-11-16T13:57:55+00:00

because this "mom" rationalized that a child leash was not only not fit for a child, but too expensive. Let me just make a trip to the local ANIMAL STORE to buy a LEASH AND COLLAR for my child. I wish I could punch her in the throat.

ILoveBooksAndMen · 2012-11-16T13:59:36+00:00

-_- Leashes should only be used for dogs or the bedroom.

blackjeezus · 2012-11-16T14:08:16+00:00

You know the world's gone to shit when we put leashes on our kids and clothes on our pets.

oo- · 2012-11-16T14:16:48+00:00

this leash demeans us both

weusedtovacation · 2012-11-16T11:48:07+00:00

I like that some people's minds don't intervene and stop them doing crazy shit like this

CanYaDigItz · 2012-11-16T14:11:14+00:00

I can't wait for a study that comes out in 15 years on how those backpack leashes for toddlers cause separation issues...

kinghenry · 2012-11-16T13:48:46+00:00

That'll teach him for fucking around too much.

UNAlreadyTaken · 2012-11-16T13:54:22+00:00

My brain didn't even process that the leash was around the kids neck like a dog vs. a children's leash until I read the comments.. not sure what that says about me, but I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have children.

Mensabutt · 2012-11-16T14:04:47+00:00

As long as his name isn't "Chicken". That would just be wrong.

porkfatty · 2012-11-16T14:13:51+00:00

Who are we to judge? Maybe he's into that kind of shit!

PostPostPostIronic · 2012-11-16T14:13:58+00:00

I guess neck belts were only recalled in America

sayitinmygoodear · 2012-11-16T14:17:54+00:00

What kind of retard would think that would be a good idea? I mean its obviously a dog leash, even ignoring the safety issues of having somthing AROUND YOUR FUCKING KIDS NECK, you are walking down the street with your kid in a dog collar so wouldnt that be kinda socialy taboo?

Man_Dinga · 2012-11-16T14:30:25+00:00

I thought shit like this only happened with rednecks in the US.

larebil · 2012-11-16T14:32:52+00:00

Good thing that's not a Dad and his daughter.

ibzzi · 2012-11-16T14:40:58+00:00

I have made it a point not to judge other parents until I myself become a parent. I see how much shit my sister has to keep up with with her son. It's not easy and I have no right to judge any parent until I myself am put in that position.

swinglerTheFifth · 2012-11-16T14:50:50+00:00

I think having an AMA with a person who was leashed as a child would be interesting.

Alexanderh86 · 2012-11-16T14:51:22+00:00

Where's her other 10 kids?

adidasaids · 2012-11-16T14:55:07+00:00

OP earns a reward of my dick.

Askesl · 2012-11-16T15:12:32+00:00

I'm danish, and i went to England and Scotland a couple of years ago, and a couple of times i saw mothers who kept their children on harnesses strapped around the child's chest. Is this common in the UK?

TWSpellz · 2012-11-16T15:13:44+00:00

That.. is just....

TehMushy · 2012-11-16T15:17:10+00:00

Guys guys, this is - you guessed it - another repost.

btd39 · 2012-11-16T15:30:09+00:00

My cousin used one of those child leashes with his daughter a year or two ago. My entire family was disgusted by it. It pisses me off when parents do that.

Fraka9 · 2012-11-16T15:30:37+00:00

so, when they started using Cyrillic in NI?

Exl · 2012-11-16T15:31:10+00:00

When I was 3 or 4 years old I was prone to walking off on my own. After I almost drowned in a pond and nearly fell down a rather large cliff, they leashed me up sortof like the picture. Except it was around my wrist.

arl5240 · 2012-11-16T15:35:46+00:00

That poor mother

Treestump57 · 2012-11-16T15:35:48+00:00

I mean, this isn't photoshopped or anything.

metalmike187 · 2012-11-16T15:45:34+00:00

A repost with a different title is still a repost.

Sirrianna · 2012-11-16T15:47:22+00:00

Imagine what that kid had to do to that poor woman....

blaghart · 2012-11-16T15:49:29+00:00

Whether this is shopped location wise, it saddens me to know that parents in the ukraine do this...and from my personal experience parents in america do too.

mattshill · 2012-11-16T15:53:17+00:00

This comment need a proper Northern Irish description of how you would point this out to a friend if you saw it.

'Yeooo Willy. Look at dat (Points at kid). Thon wee mucker on the bikes ma's a fecking eejit letting him out da house like dat der' what happens if he falls and smacks his bake on a floor N' hurts emself cuz he has no helmet? There'l be tears so there will.'

brendan773 · 2012-11-16T15:57:21+00:00

Was this in Derry or Belfast ?

x3r0h0ur · 2012-11-16T16:00:10+00:00

Is she high? "Why are you following me!!?"

dr_chinstrap · 2012-11-16T16:02:41+00:00

D'yoo like dags?

StarWolf999 · 2012-11-16T16:09:50+00:00

XD Can't wait to meet her down the road in Belfast!

CamCamJenkins · 2012-11-16T16:19:51+00:00

I just imagine the kid getting wrapped around a pole like a tether ball.

WorseThanHitlerAIDS · 2012-11-16T16:20:32+00:00

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Sure the collar shouldn't be around his necck, but child leashes are an excellent idea. If you have a child, tell me, with a completely straight face and in all sincerity, that you haven't thought about leashing your child.

jonafu · 2012-11-16T16:23:10+00:00

The only WTF here (other than the [FAKE]) is that people still fail to recognize that the child could be a nonverbal autistic or have some other developmental or mental disability that would make him prone to running. The parent might have tried all other methods (including harnesses) and this is the last gasp at keeping the child safe while still trying to be societally inclusive. This might even be a method of safety SANCTIONED by the professionals she works with to provide interventions for her child.

Calculus777 · 2012-11-16T16:23:16+00:00

Well, this is embarrassing...

Narcoleptico · 2012-11-16T16:23:28+00:00

Indydegrees2 · 2012-11-16T16:36:57+00:00

False. We Northern Irish say 'ma' not mom.

awake673 · 2012-11-16T16:42:05+00:00

My twin use to have one of those too, she was always running around some place and it was hard to find her. She gave us a scare and a great amount of panic when all of a sudden she disappears. Instead of the handle and the neck collar, we had bilateral hip attachments.

Noldorian · 2012-11-16T16:47:05+00:00

Thats wrong. Your child is like a pet. Whats wrong with people.

RJBuggy · 2012-11-16T16:59:40+00:00

makes you long for abortion.

C'mon, guys. It's not that bad. I mean, she's using a retractible leash.

navan12 · 2012-11-16T18:40:11+00:00

Awesome a dog on a bike, now thats something you dont see everyday

Bikenutt · 2012-11-16T18:54:20+00:00

One more reason to legalize abortion in this country. Humans are not pets you pasty inbred twits.

River1 · 2012-11-16T19:48:14+00:00

Too bad it's not a shock collar.

GeoSzef · 2012-11-16T19:48:56+00:00

Leash: If ahead of holder, it's a pet. If behind holder, it's a slave. This is basic S&M

fawker · 2012-11-16T19:51:27+00:00

As horrible as that is, I can understand how that came about. Fucking 3 year olds, I don't know how they survived in primitive times, it was probably a bit more traumatic for them.

hydrox · 2012-11-16T22:08:45+00:00

This photo is from Eastern Europe, Ulster Bank has been shopped into that sign. Notice the atm has green trim. Ulster Bank is blue.

Sweet. Another thread about the north and people are bickering about whether Northern Ireland is part of Ireland or not, as usual. The clue's in the name, morons.

ObscureX315 · 2012-11-17T02:21:20+00:00

somebody slap that lady, please. your child is not a fucking dog!

Mike12344321 · 2012-11-17T02:25:38+00:00

Option A: Collar and leash

Option B: Little fucker rides into a roadway because some kids are just little rebellious cunts and get subsequently gets smooshed.

choose one.

DizzyRose · 2012-11-17T04:43:03+00:00
