[–]Blahblag12321 257 points258 points ago

I usually just sit on the bench and observe until I see either blood or tears. Like a good parent?

[–]Braundy94 55 points56 points ago

The best kind of parent

[–]cuminmyanus 2 points3 points ago

I do the same except that when they come crying to me I smack them across their face and command them to go back and play like real men. Stupid children.

[–]thebendavis 155 points156 points ago

One of the reasons that I still refuse to sign up for Facebook is because I am not patient enough to pretend that I give a shit about other peoples' kids.

Kids make me uncomfortable, I don't like them. I don't know how to relate. Sometimes I'll try jingling my keys in their face in an attempt to entertain, then the kid is all, like "Dude...I'm eleven..." Kids are like farts, you can really only love your own.

P.S. I know I've said this before; but if I do have kids, I just hope they're not Mexican.
I'm not racist, I just don't speak Spanish.

[–]shadow1515 34 points35 points ago

I love kids, but I can relate to them. The trick is to perpetually be an immature child yourself.

[–]Dykam 7 points8 points ago

While staying responsible (in both senses). That is the part some seemingly forget.

[–]shadow1515 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, that too. But sometimes I don't wanna! Can I just sleep in 10 more minutes, pleeeeaase? ARGH! YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!

[–]Secret_Agent_Bear 0 points1 point ago

As a person who's been uncle, godfather, or close friend, but never father I find it great to act like a child, entertain myself (and the kid, by proxy) for hours. Then, when the tears or blood start, I'm no where to be found, as I dump the kid back on the parents for the actual work.

[–]redshoes 12 points13 points ago

Just hide the offending people from your newsfeed... My newsfeed is pretty quiet nowdays...

[–]perverse_imp 64 points65 points ago

Kids are like farts, you can really only love your own

TRUTH

[–]Jumba 14 points15 points ago

I have to disagree, I love my niece, and I'm pretty sure most uncles/aunts do too.

[–]Kale 5 points6 points ago

I was also awkward around young kids until the nieces came along. I have a deep voice and refuse to use baby talk too, and when everyone else in their life uses high pitch to speak to them, they were a little afraid of me at first. After each reached about 8 months all three are fine with me now, thanks to oreos and always being a click away from Calliou on my phone.

[–]Tastygroove 10 points11 points ago

Calliou is a whiney little bitch. Banned in my home.

[–]bingosherlock 0 points1 point ago

BUT MOMMMMM I DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH ROOOSIEEEEE

BUT MOMMMMM I DON'T LIKE SAAANDWICHES

BUT MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[–]kakey 2 points3 points ago

I use my normal voice to speak to all my and any kids I encounter, and they'll adjust to your tone accordingly. And it's easier on yourself too.

We can either talk with a level lower than them (we have a natural tendency to underestimate children) or talk normally and let them bring themselves up to our level, and they'll actually be enjoyable to talk with, like a normal human being.

[–]wetwater 1 point2 points ago

Despite the many soul-scarring mistakes my mother made raising me, I am thankful she never (or rarely, I can think of maybe two instances) used a baby voice or baby talked to me. I have an aunt who still baby talks to her three grown children and it generally infuriates me, especially when she forgets I'm a grown adult and not a 4 year old.

[–]PreppersFantastic 1 point2 points ago

Oh yeah. Oreos and callous. Doesn't get any better than that--speaking as a proud aunt of my niece and nephew.

[–]ToshsCabanaBoy 1 point2 points ago

I like other people's kids because you get to act like a little kid and then you hand them back when a diaper needs to be changed or they get injured. Best of both worlds.

[–]Caloooomi 2 points3 points ago

I've always gotten on with kids, probably because I usually act like one.

[–]pru_man 0 points1 point ago

I used to be you, for all the same reasons (except I didn't want my kids to be Canadian). Then when I had my own, I realized much of my discomfort came because I had a crappy dad who didn't teach me how to interact with young kids (by interacting with me). My big advice is, if you ever do have 'em, just get down on their level and play with them. The rest is pretty easy. Unless you can't understand them...

[–]cyklone 0 points1 point ago

Can you explain why you don't want them to be Canadian?

Don't want to learn to speak "Canadian"?

[–]thatthatguy 1 point2 points ago

I think it's his aversion to hockey. If they grew up Canadian he'd have to listen to them talk about hockey. Or worse, watch their little league hockey games.

[–]akatherder 1 point2 points ago

P.S. I know I've said this before; but if I do have kids, I just hope they're not Mexican. I'm not racist, I just don't speak Spanish.

You just stole that joke from the pregnant cashier rage comic. Where she hoped the father of her kid was the white guy she had sex with and not the Mexican guy because she doesn't speak spanish.

Kids are easy to entertain. Just show an ounce of interest in anything they do. Oh, you have Pokemon cards? Badass! Oh you're flying a spaceship box? Sweet! Half the shit they do is more fun than the shit we get stuck doing.

[–]thebendavis 0 points1 point ago

I've never seen that comic. Because I don't look at rage comics, they are stupid. I've been using variations of that joke for about 12 years.

[–]MechaToast 0 points1 point ago

You sound like my brother. He tries playing fetch with his nieces and nephews.

[–]Gr8peJ3llyJamz 4 points5 points ago

I think it's this part.. brace yourself!

[–]hazleapricot 53 points54 points ago

I've seen this before and to this day it scares me more than Slender Man. This is a group of children raised to be the leaders if the future.

[–]jackskidney 106 points107 points ago

if the future.

I enjoy the implications of this typo.

[–]frenzyboard 2 points3 points ago

There's a pretty solid attrition rate at these sort of things.

[–]workpuppy 0 points1 point ago

Yea. Honestly I'm more okay with kids being raised this way (the teen years are great at fucking over this sort of thing) than the people who come to it later in life.

As an adult, you tend to look at all the stuff you believed as a kid in a critical way. But adults are very poor at critiquing their beliefs.

[–]Shoola 1 point2 points ago

I went to similar camps to this one (they definitely weren't as militant, just big on the crazy emotional Jesus stuff) and I can tell you that if these kids are intelligent and open to asking questions, they'll be fine.

[–]jwallace582 19 points20 points ago

Well, I'm going to go kill myself now. Cya tomorrow.

[–]Law_Student 23 points24 points ago

You may be doing it wrong.

[–]SlairStyle 11 points12 points ago

I'm sorry, what?

[–]Kale 9 points10 points ago

two things: 1) it's closed now, 2) when some kids are brainwashed (because it's easy to do), and they work through it as they mature, they gain the ability to be introspective and question everything. source: my childhood. I learned to question everything.

[–]Law_Student 6 points7 points ago

It sounds like you may be doing it wrong.

[–]SlairStyle 9 points10 points ago

Oh, okay.

[–]SkyeFire 1 point2 points ago

Hm, you apparently need some chicken in your piano, according to what I've res tagged you with. I can't think of why that is :V

[–]jwallace582 2 points3 points ago

Yes, Fried chicken, I need it for my piano. Muy Importante.

[–]JimmyLee123 10 points11 points ago

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying..

[–]AustinHiggs 4 points5 points ago

Fuck everything about this.

[–]ThaBomb 4 points5 points ago

Wow. This is brainwashing. And absolutely terrifying.

[–]SarahnadeMe89 1 point2 points ago

"Ah, children, God's little awkward moment machines"

[–]Andrasito 1 point2 points ago

This is brainwashing, fucking brainwashing done to children. How is this even legal? how is this even allowed?

[–]Shoola 1 point2 points ago

I cracked up at the Obese woman using a McDonald's drive-thru metaphor.

[–]opoipo 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit

[–]Madhadda 6 points7 points ago

Funny enough it's "Jesus camp" if anyone was interested

[–]Skizot_Bizot 11 points12 points ago

Yes raptor jesus camp. He died to the great asteroid for all our sins.

[–]BaconIsFrance 7 points8 points ago

Scariest horror movie I've ever seen.

[–]kevka 6 points7 points ago

Good thing they have toddlers carrying tissues around for all the crying kids.

[–]aepac 0 points1 point ago

It's Jesus Camp indeed

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points ago

It's from a documentary called "Jesus Camp", following a bunch of kids being indoctrinated into Christian evangelical fundamentalism.

Watch the documentary, it's frightening and takes an interesting look at fundamentalism in religion from the perspective of the children they pretty much brainwash.

The strobes of light and the Raptor face were added in later on for comical effect and are not part of the show. The kids crying and looking demented, is.

[–]AliceFishyWishy 4 points5 points ago

Still remember that one quote. "Let me say something about Harry Potter. Warlocks are enemies of God! I don't care what kinda hero they are. They are enemies of God and had it been in the Old Testament, Harry Potter would've been put to death!"

[–]Megapigeon 1 point2 points ago

Oh I remember watching that in Religious Education. The joys of having an atheist teacher!

[–]lydocia 4 points5 points ago

This is pure gold.

[–]MechaToast 0 points1 point ago

Seems like the kind of thing that happens in my family. The kids are a lot safer with mom.

Of course, they have a hell of a lot more fun with me.

[–]chrisma08 82 points83 points ago

Fortunately, at those ages, kids are pretty much made of rubber, and recover quickly.

Plus, if you are constantly trying to protect them from their own fearlessness and ignorance of gravity, then they have trouble learning how to negotiate obstacles on their own, as well as discovering both their personal limits and the natural laws of physics.

[–]Ag-E 54 points55 points ago

Toss 'em off a bridge. That'll learn 'em.

[–]clarusdogcow 29 points30 points ago

Don't waste the effort. Kids want to give it a go themselves without your assistance.

[–]pburn883 2 points3 points ago

My mom used to say that quote to me. and when i was in HS i got smart so when she asked i responded with "hell yea sounds like fun" I got grounded

[–]bru_tech 3 points4 points ago

Some guy did that in Bayou La Battre, AL a few years back. The judge forced him to look at pictures of his kids until his death penalty sentence is carried out.

[–]shadow1515 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, my son climbs all over everything and frequently falls. But he's been falling less as he realizes what kind of leverage and positioning he needs to avoid toppling over.

[–]AppleBlossom63 110 points111 points ago

I imagined the little girl going

"WHEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE!!!"

when she got thrown in the air.

Oh my god, I have not laughed at something that hard all day... It is so much better with audio... Fuck I'm giggling as I type this...

[–]TheVapourRub 38 points39 points ago

The sped up gif really doesn't do it justice!

[–]libamonkey[S] 52 points53 points ago

True but then I've never been able to get a video to get a decent amount of votes to be noticed.

[–]Tech_Support 27 points28 points ago

Sad truth. I probably wouldn't have clicked it if it was a video :/, but the vid is way better than the gif. Thanks for posting it anyways!

[–]orzof 6 points7 points ago

Isn't it a strange dichotomy? We won't watch a video, but we'll gladly look at a gif of that video.

[–]Right_on_BRO 6 points7 points ago*

GIFs are usually short and sweet. Nice when browsing reddit, and just clicking links down the list. Videos implicate that you need watch something longer than one would like to, and also the use of audio. I imagine a majority of people browsing reddit don't have their sound on, or are listening to music.

[–]circaskater411vm 3 points4 points ago

No damn ad before a GIF or I wouldn't watch them either.

[–]Vlyn 14 points15 points ago

You never heard of Adblock? I never saw an ad on youtube *insert evil laughter here*

[–]Zhang5 2 points3 points ago

Adblock is amazing. I was so confused the first time I saw an ad on Youtube, and this must have been quite a long time after they had started adding advertisements.

[–]orzof 0 points1 point ago

I forget that Youtube videos have ads. You should try Ad Block.

[–]rabbitcoin 1 point2 points ago

With Hover Zoom installed, I don't even have to click the link if it's a gif. It just plays.

[–]schwab002 0 points1 point ago

The sped up gif is horrible. You miss all the action at the end.

[–]Username_Storytime -1 points0 points ago

I step through the Orchard and reach out

red orbs seizing my sight, compelling a lust

away from the ordinary, each step an intricate inspection

thunder and quakes strike through ever again

endless bounty and fields of stems shooting

out in a violent upheaval that ground the Earth

grass brushed up ever to the naked nerves of my soles calling

out for alarm through my sense as I felt the ever never calming

breeze, lifting the web of branches upwards rattling ever

great red orbs, weighted masses of Sin clouding more

thought as the grass withered away to lifeless

sand that killed the calming breeze to dry whiplash

by repeated folly, your memory reaches out to the harsh desert around

a great red orb, illusion fades as desert hisses away as a swarm

sixty three great red orbs, in the center of orchard

clearing, causing a sigh "Some get 72, but 63 is better than nothing"

[–]Kimbernator 10 points11 points ago

More like Username_RunOnSentence

[–]Indoorsman 2 points3 points ago

Yeah there is another guy who does stories with usernames and he is real good, doesn't force it. I saw a guy named gradual_murder once, was hilarious but only posted once.

[–]Username_Storytime 0 points1 point ago*

I don't see why so many folks hate on it but meh, downvote away, you won't be treading newly discovered ground there.

Edit: Can ya link to that guy? Can't say I've heard of him before.

[–]AppleBlossom63 0 points1 point ago

Shut up, that was fucking beautiful!

[–]Username_Storytime 0 points1 point ago*

That was intentional, if you can't tell. This was based around the style of a cool dude from r/fithworldpoetry , Damasques

full film. Also, the Gif looks sped up. It looks better in its original speed

[–]Mycooljam 2 points3 points ago

Thanks, I was having trouble viewing the picture.

[–]libamonkey[S] 2 points3 points ago

Of course it is I had to cut out frames and then I really didn't try to hard to bring it back to original speed. That's why there's video.

[–]Lampmonster1 40 points41 points ago

That's pretty much my nightmare anytime someone hands me a baby.

"OH MY GOD SO MUCH BLOOD!!!"

"WHAT DID YOU DO?! I WAS GONE FOR TEN SECONDS!!!"

[–]umibozu 7 points8 points ago

If you have don't have kids and wonder if this is just and hyperbole of reality, allow me to ease your mind:

this is a pretty accurate if not conservative depiction of what happens daily when you have two toddlers.

[–]Chinamerican 1 point2 points ago

I have thanked my mother on several occasions for not drowning us in the bath b/c I remember some of my antics and I can't imagine what it was like for her dealing with me and my brother all day.

That being said, bitch didn't babyproof anything. I like to think I'm a hardier person than my younger brother is b/c of it.

[–]harriswill 14 points15 points ago

Your only job as a Father is to keep the kids from somehow killing themselves.

[–]OpenPalm 21 points22 points ago

Parents need to understand that kids are much tougher than they think. They've been hardened by evolution-- the people who died out as kids by playing too hard didn't get to pass on their genes.

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 15 points16 points ago

Yeah, it's not like protective parenting is a beneficial genetic trait either.

Also, biotruths.

[–]mostlyferal 0 points1 point ago

Don't worry; biotruths about children's safety will die out within one generation!

[–]OpenPalm 0 points1 point ago

Protective parenting is a beneficial trait to an extent. Overprotecting parenting is not and I encourage you to read up on the matter. For example, overprotective parents keep their kids away from germs but being in contact with germs is actually beneficial for developing a strong immune system. There are also significant benefits regarding play that some parents may consider risky which you can google for yourself.

[–]johnylaw 4 points5 points ago

Kids are very durable, but you don't know that until you have some.

[–]oalsaker 3 points4 points ago

You don't know until you have three and there's not enough parents to go round.

[–]MovingTarget111 5 points6 points ago

If my kids fall down, I tell them to walk it off. If my kids have a splinter, I tell them to walk it off. Other people look at me funny, then they see my kids wiping their snot and tears, running off to continue to play.

[–]Jumba 11 points12 points ago

Okay, walk off a splinter? I'd take that out tho :P

But I full agree with you, I noticed that when my niece was @ two she'd look for someone to cry on whenever she fell. But if we just ignored her, or acted like nothing happened she's just carry on playing.

[–]MovingTarget111 0 points1 point ago

I just used a general example, I guess I thought of a splinter because of a local park we vist that is a little older and made out of pressure treated wood.
My main point is that your kids react to how you act when they hurt themselves. If you react to thier every wimper, kids will feed off of it and wimper and cry more and more. If you show your children that yes sometimes in life you get hurt, get up and move on with life.

[–]snow_bird 0 points1 point ago

I ended up in the ER after a bee sting and found out I was allergic when I was a kid. When the school called my mom she told them I didn't need to be in ER and that all I need was an aspirin and to walk it off.

[–]akatherder 1 point2 points ago

In my experience, most parents do understand this. You're only hearing from the very vocal minority of crazy parents who hound other parents for not wrapping their kid up in bubble wrap and letting them run around without a leash.

[–]Chinamerican 1 point2 points ago

In my experience, even if they don't understand, they're too tired to care.

Generally, parents get comfortable enough in their abilities to give them more slack on the leash.

It's coming up in about a month. I'm freaking out... not sure how i'm going to deal with 5 days of being a 'parent'. I'm sure I can do it... i just don't know HOW!

[–]vandalhearts 5 points6 points ago

Ha don't worry. He's 10 years old. He can dress himself, use the toilet etc without any supervision. Mostly your responsibilities will be to make sure he doesn't get kidnapped.

This was pretty much my experience when I had 8 under 3-y/o's in childcare and no extra help. That day, I quickly learned they'll be perfectly fine. Just watch out for the climbers when they get to the monkeybars. Falls from 5+ feet are not good.

I do not understand you kids and your new-fangled "Animated GIFs". If there's a video, link to the video.

THIS is why I only have one child!

One of the funniest posts I've seen.

[–]PreppersFantastic 0 points1 point ago

Oh shit that's hilarious! Since I am going to be a teacher that is a very valid concern for me. It's one thing to be responsible for your own child quite another to be responsible for others :/

Yea it's not that I don't LIKE kids per say, but I'm scared shitless of the fact that I'd be responsible for another human being in every way shape and form for at least the first 18 years of their life. It's mind boggling and I think that many new parents don't grasp the enormity of such a responsibility.

I work at a daycare. This pretty much sums up what is feels like. However my children haven't ever been injured. You've got to be quick and you really do have to have eyes on the back of your head.

I was definitely the little boy, always hurting myself somehow. I love how he takes the swing to the face an just stands there.

Is that scene not traced from the opening frame of Monkey Dust? This is only going from very distant recollection, mind.

[–]JamieSweetTooth 0 points1 point ago

That was a gif? Most impressive.

[–]RedThunder90 0 points1 point ago

I want to see more .gif files like this. Less clips from videos, more original cartoons.

This is me every day except three instead of two.

[–]metaldogman 0 points1 point ago

This is exactly how it happens.

I desperately try to explain these things to my wife and she just stares at me like I am a monster.

I get the ice cream now.

The mall chapter of Heavy Rain also scares me when I think of being a parent.

[–]apextek 0 points1 point ago

i hates kids, granted Im a parent and i love them, but I hate the fact that they are kids, I wish they could be born with a brain filled with the first 10 years of common sense at least.

I accidentally kicked one of mine in the face once. She cried so much that I didn't just physically abuse her, but I had betrayed her in the deepest, cruelest ways. But the awesome part of being poor is that it's super easy to buy back their affection. I pulled a quarter, two dimes and a few pennies from my pocket and offered them to her. She jumped down off the counter and went back to playing immediately.

My coworker told me about the time she "dropped" her kid while she was breastfeeding her. She was so exhausted and let go so her daughter rolled down her leg. Baby was fine.

[–]workpuppy 0 points1 point ago

Heh. I was out at a park with a buddy of mine. I had my kid, he had a loaner (he wants kids, so he takes care of his godkid sometimes for practice).

So we're pushing the kids on the swings, and I push the hell out of mine...Doing some of the semi-dangerous stuff. The big running push where you go under the swing when you're finished. Grabbing her legs, and pulling her way up then letting go, etc. She's having a great time.

So he's pushing his godkid, and I'm already kinda sick of this kid (he's a whiney little shit), but whatever, I can deal with him for a while. And my buddy says, "Hey little guy, you want a big push?"

And the kids like, "uh-huh"

So my buddy pushes him...Right the hell out of the swing to faceplant in the playground mulch.

It took so much effort to hold in the guffaw that I got bodychecked by my own kid, who then laughed herself out of the swing, and started jumping on me where I was lying on the ground.

Good times.

Those old see-saws are some of the most dangerous playground pieces ever. I always hated going on them with somebody bigger than myself because they would ALWAYS make a quick exit when they were done. This was when I first learned to fiercely guard my balls.

Everytime i end up being responsible with children, one of them either ends up with a minor injury or learning a new cuss word.

I want kids of my own one day, but dear lord do i hate most other peoples kids <_<.
