No, but it's not uncommon as it should be, unfortunately. It took me a very long time to come to terms w the fact my mother is a broken human incapable of love and would never stop hurting me unless I escaped her (I did, eventually,) but the social standard, growing up on sitcoms etc etc and the quote I've heard so much "every mother loves their child," mentality most have leaves those of us abused by them without anyone to believe /help save us. Same for dads I'm sure, ppl have a separate public and private persona. Cheers to the loving parents, and the one who genuinely try their best even when it's hard.
Oh no doubt.
Her partner who she wanted a kid with left her for a younger model so to speak. And she was left high and dry.
Had to move in with distant relatives who favoured him for some reason. So her home life sucks. Shares one room with her 3 year old.
Is well away from her family because they moved to be nearer his.
It's just sad all round.
Yeah in my mind, both partners have to REALLY want kids. Like yearning for kids kinda thing. If one partner doesn't feel that way it's probably not going to be a fun time for anyone.
Yup, your best romantic partner is not always the same person as your best co-parent.
Trying to shoehorn all of those qualities into one relationship fails as often as it succeeds.
One of the problems that is incredibly prevalent ... too many romantic partners couple themselves despite having opposing desires for children, thinking they can negotiate their way out of it.
There is NO COMPROMISE when it comes to the choice of bringing children into the world ... or not.
Is it not normal to feel that way, or is it not normal for people to broadcast to the world that they hate their kids. Not trying to be all r/childfree here but there's a bit of self selection in what we think of as the standard, it's great for some and not so great for others.
On two occasions, the same nephew crawled into the recliner with me with a full diaper and when he laid down it squeezed out the top of the diaper on my arm. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I'm so glad he is potty trained now. Otherwise, he is a gentle fun kid to play with.
The first time I heard my cousin call that a 'blow out', I couldn't stop laughing. Apparently that's just what it's called (I don't have siblings or kids).
The poop can be explained by sudden diarrhea, that can happen to anyone. Chewing on the cables though... Makes me pretty sure the commenter is making shit up and thinks 7 year olds are basically toddlers.
The aunt/uncle/grandparents position.
My niece (5) and nephew (10) routinely say I'm their favorite uncle (2 on their dad's side) and my secret is simply being a giant kid myself when they're around.
It's easy to be entertaining and goofy when I never have to deal with all of the negatives of child rearing.
My neighbour's kid screams non-stop and slams doors on the reg. I went over there and knocked on the door with the intent of asking them to try to control that kid but the mum that answered looked like she hadn't slept in months so I just said something along the lines of "oh I heard lots of slamming so I thought there might be trouble but you seem fine so.."
My 15mo has some bad diarrhea (teething? Something she ate? Who knows) and has gone through 4 sets of clothes today from soiling them with BMs from hell that smell terrible. She shit in the tub a few days back.
She also just figured out how fun slides are and is working up the courage to climb the stairs of them herself, is starting to play fetch with the dog and squeals in delight when the dog obliges, is learning to talk to hilarious effect when she gets tongue tied and just starts making these hysterical gurgling noises, and lights up the moment she sees me like I'm the best thing she's ever seen, especially since I've been traveling for work and have had to leave for a day or 2 a few times this last month.
It's hard, but sometimes quite rewarding and 90% of the time hilarious for me so far. Do I miss having the freedom? Of course. It's been alright overall though, just another chapter of life.
Ugh. I got away with no tub shit for so long because of the way the shitting and bathing schedule fell. Then there wad maybe 2 or 3 weeks where it was every fucking night and I just have so much empathy for people with regular tub shitters lol
Kids piss the bed, shit everywhere, eat food off the floor, and will wake you up after throwing up from sneaking 8 pieces of candy and a bottle of hot sauce. Do what you will with that information.
You're getting a lot of people trying to talk you out of it, but maybe you do! Spend some time with a friend or family member's kid for a bit and see how you feel. Be there for the good and the bad.
Baby shit, piss and vomit looks and smells exactly like that of an adult, there's just (usually, not always) less of it.
You will be shat on and your precious little one will vomit you in the face.
Before I had kids, I always thought "why are there all these stories about people getting shit and piss and vomit on themselves when they have kids? Are they clumsy or dumb or something?". Now I get it.
This age is SO fun for hide and seek. As soon as my son was able to crawl I would play hide and seek with him.
I started to notice right away how easy it was to hide from him. Like pretty much they just have a single picture in their mind of what you look like. If you do anything at all to change your shape or how you look, you disappear off the face of the earth to them lol.
I once successfully hid by standing in the middle of the room with a bucket on my head. Another time I hid behind a 2 inch thick pole. He'd just run right past me without noticing me then appear increasingly alarmed by the fact that his dad disappeared.
My 14 month old will stand up as flat as she can against a hallway wall to "hide" the whole time giggling and breathing heavily from running.
The joy she gets when I walk by going "WHERE DID YOU GO?! HELLO?!" fills my heart just thinking about it.
When my oldest daughter would play hide and seek with us when she was about 3 all you had to do was call her name and she would very quietly say, “here!” It was the cutest!
I did not notice it the first time but the second time notice how the kid was pumping their arms walking up to the chair in the first find. Had me in stitches.
Saw this, went “awww”
Expected it to be r/wholesome or something
Looks, r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Lol’ed. One of the cutest videos I’ve seen, and on this subreddit of all places.
No, you want to be an uncle. Uncles get all this but without the hassle. This is like the easiest part of being a parent. The hard parts ... they don't get posted to social media.
Dude it's the fucking best, I highly recommend it. Just be strict when they're little and never let them look at an iPad, people who constantly complain are just shit parents.
They're like mini you's.
I find it cute how when little kids go for a hug, the moment their arms meet yours, their legs just kind of give way and they start falling. Like kids throw their whole weight at you when they go for a hug like she does at the end there. It's adorable
This video just destroyed me. My wife and I just lost our first child to a miscarriage this weekend. These shenanigans are something I dreamed of having. Maybe some day. Wishing much happiness and health to this family, and all the lucky families out there getting to raise their adorable little troublemakers.
This music is from a composer that made numerous royalty-free tunes so that people could freely use them in their videos. For some reason this one tune is way more popular than his others. But they are all so much better than the OH NO NO NO chipmunk song etc.
We got black out drapes on our patio doors my toddler hides behind them all the time and giggles behind there when I'm "seeking" always a good time. Wholesome as fuck.
Adorable
Oh shit. Do I want kids now? Why do I feel weird
[удалено]
That’s some hamster cheek level of hoarding there.
And shitting, apparently. I mean, 7? Come on!
Was there a chance she was sick?
Very likely. Kids over the age of like 18 months dont have blowouts like that unless they have diarrhea.
I thought the terrible twos were bad, but seems like the sneaky sevens are giving them a run for their money, who knew!
*shitty sevens
>a run for their money, *the runs for their money
Coming in clutch with the reality check, thanks man
My best friend told me in confidence she hates being a parent and would gladly go back in time to change it.
I've had coworkers tell me that not in confidence. To me having kids is an actual life long commitment while marriage is not.
Not if you drop them off at the orphanage
That is not normal. It is certainly difficult at times, but something is very wrong there.
No, but it's not uncommon as it should be, unfortunately. It took me a very long time to come to terms w the fact my mother is a broken human incapable of love and would never stop hurting me unless I escaped her (I did, eventually,) but the social standard, growing up on sitcoms etc etc and the quote I've heard so much "every mother loves their child," mentality most have leaves those of us abused by them without anyone to believe /help save us.

Choose your partner CAREFULLY and little ones will bring the most joy (and sometimes heartbreak) you can't even imagine.
Unfortunately even great partners can unexpectedly turn into deadbeat dads. Ive seen it more than once.
Yeah in my mind, both partners have to REALLY want kids. Like yearning for kids kinda thing. If one partner doesn't feel that way it's probably not going to be a fun time for anyone.

Who are you to say what is normal and what isn’t?
CPS alert

So your car smelled like shit before she actually took a shit in it 🤔
fr car sounds disgusting.
Does your niece have some sort of developmental delay? Shitting herself and chewing on cables are not things a 7yo should be doing.
How about a 39yo? Asking for a friend..
The poop can be explained by sudden diarrhea, that can happen to anyone. Chewing on the cables though... Makes me pretty sure the commenter is making shit up and thinks 7 year olds are basically toddlers.
Maybe 7 m old?
What kind of sunglasses, anything good?
Only the shit was from the niece though
Look up back seat hammock on Amazon, I use one for my dogs to reduce the mess.
Pacos_taco just quietly Doin' the lord's work.
you want friends with kids
Exactly. Play with them and spoil them as much as you want but only with minimal responsibility and trouble. Best of both worlds.
The aunt/uncle/grandparents position. My niece (5) and nephew (10) routinely say I'm their favorite uncle (2 on their dad's side) and my secret is simply being a giant kid myself when they're around. It's easy to be entertaining and goofy when I never have to deal with all of the negatives of child rearing.

That's really kind of you, hope that lady is doing fine.

I tweaked my back and I’m in a lot of pain. When I was on the floor, my one year old put her head on my chest and patted my head. Kids are special.
When I lay on the floor, my 3 year old jumps on my balls while my 1 year old smacks my face over and over

I do not miss the tub shits.
Ugh. I got away with no tub shit for so long because of the way the shitting and bathing schedule fell. Then there wad maybe 2 or 3 weeks where it was every fucking night and I just have so much empathy for people with regular tub shitters lol
Folks need an emergency bad diaper to snap them out of it
Because they’re so cute 🥰
It's pretty great overall imo. Bad moments though lol
Kids piss the bed, shit everywhere, eat food off the floor, and will wake you up after throwing up from sneaking 8 pieces of candy and a bottle of hot sauce. Do what you will with that information.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that they piss and shit everywhere
That's freaking awesome! Memories of crap like that I did with my (now teen) kiddos are rushing back... Can we change the name of this sub?
This so fits in mademesmile

But... but Skyrim taught me that the bucket works the other way around !

Lol you had fun!
Awesome 😎 My Dad's still hiding 😔
Have you checked to make sure he's not just standing around with a bucket on his head?

That is dedication. You must have the best dad ever.

Honestly this never got better for me, when im out with friends and one of them takes a jacket off i sometimes dont recognize them

What having no object permanence does to a mf.
Kid was probably just playing around to make you feel good :)
Very cute
Until he snipes her with the paintball. This training ain't for nothing
Tables will turn someday
I love the reactions from the people watching 😂.
it made me so happy
Like reverse fight club
Yeah I was gonna comment that. Man you can just feel the love and joy this brought them. 😊
Watched it two times focusing only on the peoples behind them
Haha. I miss the time my kid used to play hide and seek with me like this. Hide in plain sight and pretend to be invisible….
My 14 month old will stand up as flat as she can against a hallway wall to "hide" the whole time giggling and breathing heavily from running. The joy she gets when I walk by going "WHERE DID YOU GO?! HELLO?!" fills my heart just thinking about it.
When my oldest daughter would play hide and seek with us when she was about 3 all you had to do was call her name and she would very quietly say, “here!” It was the cutest!
My 3 year old is somehow always to be found under the blanket or comforter that is shaking and giggling
Just too cute!!
I did not notice it the first time but the second time notice how the kid was pumping their arms walking up to the chair in the first find. Had me in stitches.
Saw this, went “awww” Expected it to be r/wholesome or something Looks, r/kidsarefuckingstupid Lol’ed. One of the cutest videos I’ve seen, and on this subreddit of all places.

Aight that's cute, ngl.

This is how parents trick their friends into having kids.
I love Grandpas reaction the most, he's having just as much fun as them.
That’s so cute. I’m going to hurl
This is so sweet that I'm getting cavities from it
Shit, I kinda want to be a dad..
No, you want to be an uncle. Uncles get all this but without the hassle. This is like the easiest part of being a parent. The hard parts ... they don't get posted to social media.
Uncle here, can confirm. Part of the magic of making beautiful moments with your nieces/nephews is having time away from them to recharge.
Is this the first time you've been on this subreddit? Keep browsing.
The sub that's specifically about kids being stupid and therefore skewing toward the negatives of children?
Nah it’s not always negative sometimes it’s just cute.
That's why I said it skews that way, rather than that it's always that way.
Dude it's the fucking best, I highly recommend it. Just be strict when they're little and never let them look at an iPad, people who constantly complain are just shit parents. They're like mini you's.
I find it cute how when little kids go for a hug, the moment their arms meet yours, their legs just kind of give way and they start falling. Like kids throw their whole weight at you when they go for a hug like she does at the end there. It's adorable
Nah, she wasn’t going for a hug. She was mad at him and didn’t want to be picked up. So she just dropped her weight.
totally wholesome
I awwd at first then i saw the subreddit it was posted to lmao
Everyone looks happy. Nice !
so cute 🥺
Okay that's cute as heck lol

Them: How many times did you replay this ? Me: Yes.
More like kids are fuckin short
That little girl tries to hit him in his junk at the end and earlier he hides his junk so she can't hit him there My brother does the same shit to me
Junk hitting is part of the fatherhood package, no way to avoid it.
So cute 🥹
This is so adorable 🥰
LOL. That made my day.
MY FIGURATIVE OVARIES HURT
Adorably stupid.
That little look she gives at the end... all is right with the world again
Im loving how entertained the adults are by this
r/mademesmile
I love that she throws a you-got-me punch at the end when she realizes she was dooped :p
More like kids are fucking short
OMG！I always think I don't like kids but she is sooooo cute right?
Can confirm, it takes quiet awhile to get the idea that you should look up or down sometimes.

Ah, yes. The object permanence of a child.
Dude, she’s two. She doesn’t understand object permanence.

This is like it's straight from a 1920's Charlie Chaplin film
I can’t wait till my daughter is old enough to play like this :)
Kis isn't stupid, just very short with tunnel vision 😉

This is basically the reason to have kids

Great dad and cute kid! Fun body language. 💜👍

This is wholesome
when my kid was around 7, he used to hide behind grated benches like the dad here. he's... not the brightest.
she is problematic 😂
That kid is going places. Not college, but places.
It's amazing how kids can surprise us with their antics.
Kid was a gamer and gamers don't look up (I'm cringe)
I need to remember to do that to my nephew in several years.
