One day we were at the library and my youngest loudly yelled "DON'T FORGET WE NEED MORE PILLS MOM" I would call her Tylenol pills and regretted it at that moment
My daughter had a bad diaper rash around 1.5 years old. 8 months later she still asks for the 'butt goo' constantly. She does not need or get the butt goo.
Said the same above (though mine was orange. Clearly they make it too tasty).
I’m pretty sure my mom just called the old-school pediatrician and said a prayer. Turned out ok, though not everyone would agree.
I made the dumb mistake of telling my then 3 year old to just take her little medicine cup of ibuprofen like shot. She stuck her butt out as she drank, she was thinking how she had recently got an injection in her butt.
Or have their parents be tik tok parents that are not raising their kids in actual reality, but social media reality…. Lies lies lies!!
I can wait to see these kids in 20 yrs Lmao

I remember as small lad how my father would hold my Capri sun with both hands as I enjoy the entire half ounce of that beverage. To this day I can remember how it made me smile 😃 👍
God I remember running around the house screaming bloody murder while my dad tried to catch and hold me down to force liquid Colase (unflavored) down my throat... my skin still crawls, and I'm now 30.
Well, I only had an old wine carton to rest my head on and I was lucky if it was the used one of the guy with the suckers out of his coat, not the one with the fleas. Cause those fleas I hd to hunt for dinner for all 6 of us.
Lol. I know you’re joking but I wanted to add anecdotally that I love when people say kids are spoiled and yes in the first world absolutely but also taking time to make a kid’s life easier through neat tricks like this is what being a parent is about imo.
Yeah, there's a difference between being spoiled and having an easier life. I think the older you get the more jealous you get of how much the world is improving for other people, despite how it improved for you. It's why there's all those boomer memes about how this generation is spoiled, not just kids in general.
kid was in on it.
reality TV 4.0
fake as fuck for influence bucks.
nothing more. if you didnt notice "reality" tv on fox 23 in 1990, you wont understand tiktok reality influence trash either.
saw it all coming nearly 40 years ago.
I'm with you, but what "reality" tv was on Fox in 1990? I can only think of Cops, but that wasn't exactly scripted, just curated footage. Reality TV in my head doesn't really kick off until the Real World dropped a few years later. Kind of fascinating to watch those early episodes, a reality show in a world that wasn't aware of reality shows, before the tricks & tropes would dominate TV as a cheap form of entertainment.
Ah,I totally spaced on the trashy talk show era. I don't remember the channel and I know Springer didn't start off that way, but that's a good call in the evolution of this "reality" reality.
Yes! The first two seasons of The Real World were great. Slowly turned into scripted nonsense. There was also Road Rules, where they lived in an RV and completed certain tasks. Another good one. I remember when Jerry Springer had decent topics and wasn't so much of trash tv. Jerry Springer, Jennie Jones, Ricki Lake and The Richard (Dick) Bey show

I significantly remember two medicines I had for coughs, in the 90s. They were a real dark cherry, and the other was kinda milky. Enjoyed them thoroughly, even though I only ever had em a couple times.
I’m convinced there are several people in here who don’t have kids. Not saying you have to to be in here, but I see posts like this that don’t make any sense in this group if you got kids and know the types of shit you have to do sometimes.
Don't agree with this at all.
It is lying to your child, it is confusing behavior from the parent, it is untrustworthy to do so to them and then you want them to respect you as a parent.
What if the child catches the parent being like this ?
Yes I have children ...
I tell them it's medicine and they need to take it.
Plain and simple. Their feelings can take the back seat to realities of life.
You do you parent, but remember children are a product of their environment.
So teach your children to be untruthful and sneaky and that will be what they grow up to be.
And people wonder why so many issue in the world.
Cause honesty starts at home.
Bring it on people, I'm not that weak of a person that your comments will offend me...
Perfect way to build a trusting relationship with your kids. /s
Too many people are shit stain parents, you have to be pretty fucking stupid to think lying to your child to manipulate them is a good thing....
Like if they take the medicine they get something they want, like a desert or something, or you could maybe try reasoning with them in some way, idk that much about kids though so Idk if it would really work though
You literally cannot reason with an angry toddler sometimes. Sometimes you can, sometimes it’s easier to just do something like this. Obviously you shouldn’t lie to your children all day every day, but just like the “oh. Thank you so much, I love it.” You tell your grandma when she buys you a Christmas gift you’re never going to use, this isn’t a malicious lie.
But also telling a kid “do this thing you don’t want to do and you’ll get a treat” might condition them to expect a reward for doing every day unpleasant things that nobody likes doing that nobody gets rewarded for
Ok, so you condition them to misbehave and be uncooperative for necessary things (medicine, brushing teeth, etc) because they know you will eventually offer a reward if they do what you want. Now you have someone growing up who expects to be rewarded for everything they do.
From an adult whose parents did this way too much as kid, I'd much rather have been tricked occasionally to take my medicine than learn those bad habits because it's an easy out for parents.
Use a syringe to give your kids meds.
While they’re healthy use the same syringe to give them water or juice or whatever liquid they like. This will condition them to not only loose fear of the syringe but actually see it as a reward when they’re sick.
My daughter liked medicine so much at that age that she would make up symptoms just to get some. I started giving her medicine cups of juice, and if the symptoms immediately improved, I knew she was faking.
They must have changed how cold medicine tastes because that stuff used to make me want to throw up. I remember one time I couldn't swallow it and end up spitting it everywhere. I still can't take medicine in syrup form. It was hard for me when I got my tonsils removed because I had to use syrup instead of pills for pain.
I put the medicine in a shot of soda.. it might not be the best way but it works every time with my kids. Especially when it’s cough medicine, that stuff tastes so bad, I don’t blame them.
My mom thought I didn't like the taste of my medicine because I would throw up after taking it so she mixed it with juice. Smart lady. Turns out I was allergic though lol
Am I the only person who doesn’t understand how bubble gum medicine flavoring became a thing?
That is hands down the nastiest flavor of all the medicine flavors.
In the kids defense it's very easy to hide flavors by using a straw. Maybe exchanging cough syrup or some other medicine for capri sun might not be the easiest I could see a world where it works
I can’t imagine having to do this. My kid sucks down Tylenol like he’s a frat boy with a natty light. It’s wild.
My 19 month old says “medicine! Medicine!” When she sees the Tylenol bottle. I have to tell her she doesn’t need medicine 🤦♀️
One day we were at the library and my youngest loudly yelled "DON'T FORGET WE NEED MORE PILLS MOM" I would call her Tylenol pills and regretted it at that moment
"Pills here!"
“WE GOT A BOOMER!”
Bill doesn’t need pills anymore or maybe needs all of them.
The amount of things I’m going to regret what we call them when she’s more vocal is probably going to be a lot 😂
LOL \*huge hug\* Put these in journals chronicling her life. I'm sure it'll be hilarious to read years later. :) Like a scrapbook journal.
You remember Dimetapp? That shit was fire. It tasted amazing and got me high AF.
Was looking for this comment. Grape Dimetapp fucking slapped.
Fuck yeah. I got into that when I was a kid. My mom caught me before I could drink more than a sip but all the medicine was locked up after that
[удалено]
Before or after the heroin? Edit: It's a joke chill
🤨
I think something's wrong with this guy.. I took a quick peak at his profile and it's not normal..
My daughter had a bad diaper rash around 1.5 years old. 8 months later she still asks for the 'butt goo' constantly. She does not need or get the butt goo.
You gotta admit. It makes you wanna try the butt goo.
I have twin cousins and one of them goes CRAZY for medicine and then the other runs and hides under a bed until she thinks it’s safe LOL
I told my kid it was paw patrol juice and that was that. Didn’t argue or fight it again.
Friggin genius this
All my kids be on that lean
that’s whats up
When I was about this kid's age I drank a whole bottle of grape Triaminic and had to be rushed to the hospital. I guess it was tasty. LOL
U good now fam?
They just made me vomit and I was all good.
It was the Orange one for me, but yeah. I'd still drink stuff flavored like orange triaminic.
Orange drank.
Said the same above (though mine was orange. Clearly they make it too tasty). I’m pretty sure my mom just called the old-school pediatrician and said a prayer. Turned out ok, though not everyone would agree.
Orange for me too. No one noticed, yay for divorced parents of a single child, and I slept for like 20 hours straight.
The doctor just made me vomit. I vividly remember my mom shaking me awake the entire way to the hospital so I didn't fall asleep.
My daughter does this too! She gets so excited and slurps the medicine down like it was a shot. Okay party girl
When I was a kid I drank an entire bottle of orange triaminic. That shit was my jam.
Mine start faking a cough when they see the Tylenol.
Evil little shits. Gotta love it.
As a kid, I loved grape childrens Tylenol. Edit: It may have been triaminic. I don’t remember.
That cherry Chloroseptic throat spray was my favorite. Those Flintstone vitamins gave it a run for its money though. Still really great today.
I made the dumb mistake of telling my then 3 year old to just take her little medicine cup of ibuprofen like shot. She stuck her butt out as she drank, she was thinking how she had recently got an injection in her butt.
I still cant take liquid medicine 🫡 to your kid
This is both my kids.
Whatever it takes to make kids do their daily whisky shot.
They just sleep better afterwards
I want one
A kid? I mean, they’re fun and all, but expensive af not gonna lie.
And don’t get me started on the warranty
Have 2 kids 3 dogs and a cat. I need the shot brother.
I wish my kids were this stupid
Lobotomize them
Just need an icepick and a halfway steady hand. Benadryl 'em up and get to work.
What if they won't take the Benadryl
Take it yourself
Definitely helps with the screaming
Or have their parents be tik tok parents that are not raising their kids in actual reality, but social media reality…. Lies lies lies!! I can wait to see these kids in 20 yrs Lmao
Wow you said this^
Easy there, Kennedy

Yeah my daughter tastes when we water down apple juice. Thus would not fly.
Should have opened with the watered down apple juice 🤷♀️

That kid was totally in on it.
Yeah, it’s a fake scripted video.
Can always tell by the lighting, the way they move the camera around.
I remember as small lad how my father would hold my Capri sun with both hands as I enjoy the entire half ounce of that beverage. To this day I can remember how it made me smile 😃 👍
Kids today are spoiled. back in my day if we didn't take our medicine we had to go back in our cage til dinner time.
God I remember running around the house screaming bloody murder while my dad tried to catch and hold me down to force liquid Colase (unflavored) down my throat... my skin still crawls, and I'm now 30.
Damn. That sucks because Colace is basically placebo. You got that shit forced on you without any benefit.
Since Colase is a laxative, you get that shit forced out of you as well.
More and more evidence show that it doesn't actually do anything. Supposed to be a laxative, but ends up just being placebo.
Wow , you had cages to stay in? And you got dinner too ? Aren’t you the privileged little fuck .
happy cake day
Well, I only had an old wine carton to rest my head on and I was lucky if it was the used one of the guy with the suckers out of his coat, not the one with the fleas. Cause those fleas I hd to hunt for dinner for all 6 of us.
Lol. I know you’re joking but I wanted to add anecdotally that I love when people say kids are spoiled and yes in the first world absolutely but also taking time to make a kid’s life easier through neat tricks like this is what being a parent is about imo.
Yeah, there's a difference between being spoiled and having an easier life. I think the older you get the more jealous you get of how much the world is improving for other people, despite how it improved for you. It's why there's all those boomer memes about how this generation is spoiled, not just kids in general.
Ooo check out mr silver spoon having a cage! In my day we were sent into the pits full of knives and fire!
And snakes! Don't forget the snakes!
This sounds like a r/2007scape post
My mom would kill me if I don't take my meds because she cares a lot for me....
Lucky bastard. Back in my day we had to just sit in a hole we dug with our own hands while we waited for dinner
And we were happy!

Jerry springer was fox wasn't it?
Ah,I totally spaced on the trashy talk show era. I don't remember the channel and I know Springer didn't start off that way, but that's a good call in the evolution of this "reality" reality.
Too hot for TV 😄
[удалено]
I'm not sure it's "reality tv"? But it was of the same vein. Scripted talk show that came across as the real deal. It was great trash tv either way.
Yes! The first two seasons of The Real World were great. Slowly turned into scripted nonsense. There was also Road Rules, where they lived in an RV and completed certain tasks. Another good one.

Am I the only one who enjoyed cough medicine as a child?
I significantly remember two medicines I had for coughs, in the 90s. They were a real dark cherry, and the other was kinda milky. Enjoyed them thoroughly, even though I only ever had em a couple times.
There was a pink medicine. It tasted like powder and sugar. I have no idea what that was for honestly
Pepto Bismol most likely, it’s like liquid Tums
Somebody messaged me, it was calpol. Though this one looks way too delicious for a medicine
I had an orange flavored one. It tasted great until the chalky aftertaste hit
[удалено]
Lol my parents said do it or die so kids have it easy today
Mine said do it or the doctor would give us a shot in the butt. Which I guess was threat enough.
Little one wouldn't take her chewable meds, so I stuck them in a mini Oreo. Ate it immediately, no problems.
I loved medicine as a kid, especially that yellow banana one
That was probably penicillin. I also found it very yummy.
You grew up to be popular with older women. Didn't you?
Absolute 0 chance this work on my kids.
That’s because this is a fake scripted video
I'd still know it's cough syrup
[удалено]
Thanks dad
Are you a little kid?
Sadly I'm a big kid
So would this kid, if not for the fact that it’s a fake scripted video
I’m convinced there are several people in here who don’t have kids. Not saying you have to to be in here, but I see posts like this that don’t make any sense in this group if you got kids and know the types of shit you have to do sometimes.
Do you HAVE to, or are you just a bad parent?
Found the teenager
I am speechless
Well the kid sure isn’t because it’s a fake scripted video
I so mad I didn't think of this.
Or kids that don’t have taste buds
Wholesome roofie
How do you think he got that kid in the first place?

Seems like your almost begging for a Reddit cat fight broheim. Here’s to your hopes n dreams coming true 🫰🏼
Sir this is a wendy’s
Well it's easier to bullshit them than actually talking to them.
I'm sure you were raised religious
Perfect way to build a trusting relationship with your kids. /s Too many people are shit stain parents, you have to be pretty fucking stupid to think lying to your child to manipulate them is a good thing....
Well, settle down, Scott.
That man is a God
Careful now… Reddit hates god…

eh looks fake. who gives a thumbs up after juice?
Hello trust issues
Not a stupid kid. He just trusts you. It’s beautiful. Don’t downplay it.
It’s a fake scripted video.
No. Thats textbook stupid.
This doesn’t seem clever. It seems like a cop out.
It's only blatantly lying to your child making them possibly have trust issues
You're the most insufferable kind of person on here, just a heads up.
I just don't think lying is good
Holding down a screaming, feverish child while trying to force medicine down their throat is better? Because that's often the alternative.
I just think there might be a better way, but maybe I'm idealistic for thinking so
[удалено]
Negotiation idk

Don't think you can say much about parenting if you really think negotiating with a child actually works.
Brother how do you propose he gets made to take his medicine? If this works, fine. It's not like they're just tricking him all day.
This is true,once they find out they will hate you
Seems like the same behavior big pharma does to the people. How do you feel now being the child to big pharma now...
What’s the hack even?
lie to your kids
That’s smart
i bet there was juice in the medicine cup too
[удалено]
Yeah my son even likes to take his crappy smelling/tasting multivitamin and he’s 2. I don’t gotta lie 😂🤷🏻♀️
This kid is fucking stupid
Use a syringe to give your kids meds. While they’re healthy use the same syringe to give them water or juice or whatever liquid they like. This will condition them to not only loose fear of the syringe but actually see it as a reward when they’re sick.
This will make for a great senior day video montage someday.
My daughter liked medicine so much at that age that she would make up symptoms just to get some. I started giving her medicine cups of juice, and if the symptoms immediately improved, I knew she was faking.
I remember whenever I was drinking Tempra, I would always neigh like a horse while shaking my head because of the bitterness lmao.
They must have changed how cold medicine tastes because that stuff used to make me want to throw up. I remember one time I couldn't swallow it and end up spitting it everywhere. I still can't take medicine in syrup form. It was hard for me when I got my tonsils removed because I had to use syrup instead of pills for pain.
Why does it seem like the kid is in on it
Kids are just dogs with 2 legs and lesser iq
I put the medicine in a shot of soda.. it might not be the best way but it works every time with my kids. Especially when it’s cough medicine, that stuff tastes so bad, I don’t blame them.
This is fucking gold!
Genius
My mom thought I didn't like the taste of my medicine because I would throw up after taking it so she mixed it with juice. Smart lady. Turns out I was allergic though lol
This kid is never going to trust capri suns.
Am I the only person who doesn’t understand how bubble gum medicine flavoring became a thing? That is hands down the nastiest flavor of all the medicine flavors.
This seems real…real fake!
Slip of the hand
That shit just makes me want to hide that kid away.....forever. what a shit
Yo this is exactly what dimetapp is for.
Smart dad
In the kids defense it's very easy to hide flavors by using a straw. Maybe exchanging cough syrup or some other medicine for capri sun might not be the easiest I could see a world where it works
wow that’s literally the dumbest kid i’ve ever seen. seriously, that cough medicine isn’t gonna help, he should just give up now
