Thank you for posting this. I knew I had seen this before: Same title and everything

[–]MrSafety 22 points23 points ago

The current recommendation from developmental experts is NO ELECTRONIC GADGETS for the first two years of life. The brain is laying down wiring for social interaction skills which last a lifetime. To do that you have to actually interact with them. TV does not provide the necessary two-way feedback.

[–]wepa 0 points1 point ago

You obviously do not have kids. As much as I would love to spend every minute speaking with them and trying to teach them everything I can, it is just not possible. I believe a little TV never hurt anybody, I'm not saying leave them watching TV all day.

If you want to know why, watch this talk by one of the leading scientists-pediatricians in the field.

I would have loved to watch that video, but it does not work.

[–]miitan 4 points5 points ago

I would have loved to watch it too but I'm not allowed to watch video until I turn 3.

[–]maxsterbator 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, fixed!

[–]AmiriteClyde 51 points52 points ago

quick parenting not working? you're gonna have to do some real parenting? that sux...

[–]KevGatz 9 points10 points ago

Someone is not entertained.

[–]aldude3 0 points1 point ago

They got nannies for that.

[–]willowswitch 0 points1 point ago

Snookie?

[–]mattbluesman -2 points-1 points ago

I don't care what you say you are not a parent.

[–]Gnisufnoc 13 points14 points ago

He probably wants love and affection from his parents... Could just be me though.

[–]eclipse98 9 points10 points ago

[–]aldude3 0 points1 point ago

I am memorized by the thumb going up and then quickly going down. I am entertained.

[–]BeyondCR -2 points-1 points ago

that gif never makes a thumb up does it...

[–]Forever-Independent 1 point2 points ago

You need a comma. But anyways it was created to display a downvote/dislike.

[–]BeyondCR -1 points0 points ago

ik , but a man can dream. I always have this false hope of him actually thumbing up and smiling

[–]zergbadger 3 points4 points ago

re post

[–]ehorgan 1 point2 points ago

you are a terrible parent

[–]Subzero_Archer 2 points3 points ago

Probably because you're a humongous, hairy, scary gladiator.

[–]stampyourfoot 2 points3 points ago

How about having some damn human contact with the child? It's crazy that the first thing you do is sit him down in front of the TV and expect that to fix everything.

[–]waldonuts 2 points3 points ago

WHOA, way to make the assumption this person hasn't just spent the previous 12 hours interacting and now wishes to set themselves in front of the kitchen food cooking thingy-ma-giggiess..

[–]Lurkerhereduh 1 point2 points ago

Is he covering his ears when you turn on the music he loves?

[–]Deneth0r 1 point2 points ago

maybe he is hungry...

[–]ExceedingJohn 1 point2 points ago

Has he/she eaten?

[–]Breedlove88 0 points1 point ago

I don't miss those days. Then again, mine's about to be seven and likes to talk back.

[–]scigs6 0 points1 point ago

I just get cozy on the couch when my 2 year old asks me for snacks. I get em for her cause I love her

[–]metans 0 points1 point ago

looks like "are you ready to dance?"

[–]kingofbigmac 0 points1 point ago

Dad! You haven't changed me in 2 days!

[–]vynusmagnus 0 points1 point ago

My favorite part of that scene is that when it zooms out to show the crowd at one point if you look to the far left, you can see a guy wearing jeans and a white button-up shirt.

[–]Asshole_Perspective -1 points0 points ago

So you're saying you're a reposter AND a shitty parent?

[–]Mr_Zero 0 points1 point ago

When my daughter wouldn't go to sleep I would put her in her car seat, and drive around the block a few times. She would be in a coma when I put her to bed. Total time: Less than 10 minutes.

[–]brinnswf 0 points1 point ago

kids shouldn't really even watch tv before 3 years
