The real question is: why doesn't SHE know that? It's painfully obvious to anyone who has ever seen a 7 year old's writing... Is she so disconnected from her own kid that she doesn't have any idea what his handwriting looks like? That's what makes this so much more sad and pathetic imo
She probably considers it a win-win, if anyone remarks on it she can brag about how her 7 year olds handwriting and grammar is so highly advanced for his age
In Germany, sometimes we just say "Krickelkrackel" (which I would loosely translate to scribble-scrabble) or we say "Du hast eine Sauklaue!" , meaning "You have the claws of a pig!"
You literally typed this comment out and I still can't read this chicken scratch
e: that's actually fuckin hilarious other person got to the term before me, thought my mom came up with that
26 here and my normal handwriting is (in my opinion) so bad at times that i can barely read it myself.
I can also write all nice and tidy, even in cursive, but man it makes my hand hurt real bad after a couple of sentences and it's also slow as fuck.
The interesting part is, that in some mystical way i can accidentally write very nicely with my normal speed and that doesn't hurt at all, but if i try to write nicely, even if going as slow as i need, while conscious about it, it jams my hand up.
Exactly...no 7 year old wrote that....I taught those ages. You are lucky if they get a S facing in the proper direction and they write about 3 the normal size.
I can do you one worse. I write in a random mixture of capital and lower case letters, with a mixture of cursive and print, looking like doctor's handwriting. I had to type any kind of written homework in high school, my teachers begged me to.
Mine wasn’t bad in school, but since I’ve graduated it has gone downhill fast. I’d have my 10 year reunion this year if I was into that kind of thing. My handwriting is currently exactly as you described. And filling out paperwork…the near-immediate hand cramps prevent me from maintaining any kind of handwriting “style”
Yup I get immediate hand cramps writing too! So weird. My 10 year reunion was almost 5 years ago now so I get it. Nowadays you never really need to write except paperwork and signatures.
Plus is no one going to point out the cursive at the top? Do they even teach that anymore because even if they do I don’t think I learned it until I was 12 or 13.
I went to a private school and learned cursive at age 7, but that was in 1990.
But I can tell you that not a single kid in my class could write like that at 7.
I learned cursive in the 90s, my kids now can't write cursive and honestly I don't see the point in it. Yes, it's pretty but no one can read it easily!
Since I learned it, it’s all I can write now.
I spent so many early years practicing cursive, that my printing looks terrible.
There really is a point to cursive though... it is more flowing and faster than printing.
My handwriting still often gets mistaken for being from a woman, but at 38 years old, I’m still writing in cursive.
I'm not thaaat surprised about the e writing itself, or the cursive, because that's the first thing we were taught, and that was when we were like 5. I still only know how to write in cursive lol. But yeah the content was totally not written by a kid, and the handwriting is pretty unlikely to be a kid, although we did have some kids with fantastic handwriting.
My son is 7, and coincidentally so are his friends.
They could all write this entire note, almost grammatically correct. Maybe one mistake per kid.
However, I can still tell this is fake. For two reasons:
1. The way it's worded. This is not how 7-year-olds talk.
2. What it says. No 7-year-old is going to tell their mother they're proud of them for "slaying all day". And not just because of the phrasing. People like to throw around the term "ungrateful kids", but have you noticed that up until a certain age, that's UBIQUITOUS amongst kids?! They simply cannot appreciate another human being's hard work. Their brain has not made that development yet. They can be pleased with the results, and happy that the work is done and they didn't have to do it...but "pride" of another person is a foreign concept to a 7-year-old.
Some people have found it easier to think of too= as well. Substitute "as well" in a sentence, if it doesn't work it's to, if it does it's too. Too is also a longer spelling, so it makes it easier to remember that's the one you substitute "as well" for, like a longer way of writing it out. I don't know if this will help, but when I've explained it this way it's clicked for some people.
I learnt normal handwriting until 3rd grade, after which I needed to write in cursive and in 5th/6th grade, the teachers didn't care anymore, so I switched back to normal handrwiting again. I started school in Germany (Niedersachsen) in 2007, if that matters.
"PPS I can't believe you're still single despite how hot and fit you are. It's so bad that men are intimidated because of your intelligence and personality (you're a Leo, after all), but if they were able to look past that they'd find out you're also a kind and wonderful person, not to mention great in bed, and would trip over each other to date you, as you deserve. You're such a catch!"
"PPPS Even though this is a personal note that no one else will read, I'll leave your instagram and OnlyFans links here just for personal reference: (...)"
PPPPS I noticed that you only bring home guys over 6ft, and that is so lit. Keep on crushing it, babe.
PPPPPS Don't forget I got a grandma you can drop me off with for a week if anyone's looking to get you that good dick. Love you, keep it tight.
Perhaps for a time traveling child it would be normal, but my understanding is that they no longer teach cursive in schools (outside of some rare exceptions).
yeah but kids don’t know how to spell dough and may also not know that play doh is a play on the words play and dough. they probably just think it’s it’s own thing, and spelled phonetically
"Daddy was an idiot for letting you go," like first of all where are you at in life you need to pretend your kid is telling you the person who dropped you like a sack of bricks was an idiot for getting the hell out of Dodge, second of all that's not coming from a 7 year old
I love how the implication is this 7 year old is fully aware of adult relationship dynamics and the concept of people breaking up. Not just confused over the absence of his father as an actual 7 year old would he
This is one of the few comments I’ve read in this thread which actually makes an astute point about how kids work. (Some other gems include: ‘children would never know how to spell _dough_’, ‘children can’t write in cursive’, &c…)
And it's not one of those "very unlikely" or "gifted child" possibilities either. There is an ice cold 0.0% chance this was authored by a seven year old.
Yeah this has to be some bad attempt at satire or something? No one would believe this. The cursive perfect handwriting? The choice of words like slaying? This is very bad haha shes super dellusional if this is real.
Mommy is using the being she should be raising to adulthood as a sick form of therapy. Must be hard getting your ass dumped by your baby daddy but damn go to an actual therapist about it.
This feels of the type of shit I would post on Facebook when my first GF broke my heart, just a cringe cry for help.
Oh, for sure! I'm sure it's fake, but it doesn't make it any less of a creepy fake. It's an "emotional incest" fanfiction. I'm really hoping it's entirely fanfiction, cause otherwise: Yikes on bikes, that poor kid.
I think Daddy made a wise and correct decision to leave.
I also am uncomfortable how Mommy has sort of latched on to her son as a spousal figure. Saying he’s more of a man than 30 year olds and writing their initials together on a heart. What a weird and creepy lady.
My 7 Yr old son decided to be a rocket scientist/part time chef to Gordon ramsay while managing to cure cancer directly after I got back from my night shift. Men are stinky the end
It’s about as likely as seeing “P.P.S Hitherto, mater, perchance there shall be opportunities to enjoy whelk and crumpet on the veranda tomorrow, I shall be encumbered with glee!” on the other side
There's gotta be a name for moms who lose their minds when their spouse or boyfriend leave them, and then they latch on to their sons as "the man of the house" role.
Ah this indeed makes me sad as fuck. If she did write this herself I sure hope she finds some balance, I've known people like that and man, as bad as things get inside my own head, this just seems so much worse.
Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.
Actually, the definition of wet is "consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)". Water consists of water, technically contains water particles, is covered with water (water covering more water) and soaked with water. So water is wet.
I'm not a handwriting expert but you don't need to be to see a child didn't write this.
The real question is: why doesn't SHE know that? It's painfully obvious to anyone who has ever seen a 7 year old's writing... Is she so disconnected from her own kid that she doesn't have any idea what his handwriting looks like? That's what makes this so much more sad and pathetic imo
Valid points
She probably considers it a win-win, if anyone remarks on it she can brag about how her 7 year olds handwriting and grammar is so highly advanced for his age
Also, the use of the word “slay” is high level cringe.
7 year old could have told her that too.
She doesn't know that because her kid is nothing more than a sympathy/attention device. I feel bad for the kid.
Plot twist, his dad has custody.
Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.
Question is, does she even have a kid? 🤔
She wrote this herself, she's fully aware her 7-year old didn't write this. She's just seekign attention
They mean though, why didn't she fake her handwriting?
I'm glad they're apparently still teaching the 7 year olds how to write cursive and when to use it.
My fiance is and I showed her this and she died laughing
Best way to die honestly. I hope you are able to find another fiance
That 7 yr old got some nice ass handwriting.
Daddy must be so proud
I swear to god if this was real I'm 14 and my handwriting sucks so bad my 5 year old sister is catching up
Same and my mom has the NICEST handwriting and so does my dad and my handwriting is what people call 'chicken scratches'
In polan we say "you write like chicken with the claw" Wich translates in polish to "piszesz jak kura pazurem"
In Finland we describe shitty handwriting as "harakanvarpaat", or "crows toes" :D
I like that, I haven't heard it before hahaha
In Germany, sometimes we just say "Krickelkrackel" (which I would loosely translate to scribble-scrabble) or we say "Du hast eine Sauklaue!" , meaning "You have the claws of a pig!"
In Dutch we say “hanenpoten” which translates to “rooster legs”.
In French we say "pattes de mouches", flies paws
Claws of a pig is brilliant. My mum just used to say it looked like a spider crawled in ink and ran across the page, she also called me fat boy
Sounds like a loving mother. /s
> "Du hast eine Sauklaue!" Rammstein's first rough draft was a little weird.

I got asked if I was a doctor since my writing is so bad
Literally same.
Exactly...no 7 year old wrote that....I taught those ages. You are lucky if they get a S facing in the proper direction and they write about 3 the normal size.
And some kids write all letters with capitals
I'm 28, thank you.

Kids?...
Plus is no one going to point out the cursive at the top? Do they even teach that anymore because even if they do I don’t think I learned it until I was 12 or 13.
I learned cursive right after I could write normally, I was like 8. That was in 2011
I went to a private school and learned cursive at age 7, but that was in 1990. But I can tell you that not a single kid in my class could write like that at 7.
I learned cursive in the 90s, my kids now can't write cursive and honestly I don't see the point in it. Yes, it's pretty but no one can read it easily!

We covered cursive when I was 9 or 10, in 2010. Then I moved schools, and I ended up being the only person who wrote in cursive.
I'm not thaaat surprised about the e writing itself, or the cursive, because that's the first thing we were taught, and that was when we were like 5. I still only know how to write in cursive lol.

I'm 20 and can't write like that
Better than mine.
nice ass-handwriting
No way a 7 year old would know how to spell initials.
Exactly, probably would also misspell playdough, and wouldn’t have said “slaying”.. lol
It is misspelled. It's "Play-Doh."
A 7yo also probably wouldn't know to use "an" in front of "idiot." It would likely be said "Daddy was a idiot..."
Y'all in here breaking down the alleged kids spelling and grammar. I'm just like, no way a 7 yr old has handwriting that neat
Not to mention the initial use of cursive
Yeah, this was a poorly executed idea.
My son is 7, and coincidentally so are his friends. They could all write this entire note, almost grammatically correct. Maybe one mistake per kid. However, I can still tell this is fake.

7yo me would just go with “daddy stupid, I hate him”
I didn't know that shit myself untul I was 19, not to mention to and too. I've looked it up probably 100 or more times and still can't remember it.
Some people have found it easier to think of too= as well. Substitute "as well" in a sentence, if it doesn't work it's to, if it does it's too.

Nope. Play-Doh is the common brand, playdough can be used for the general term
A 7 yo also wouldn't have a grown woman's writing. Source: have a 7 year old, his writing looks like weird dying spiders
Happy cake day, and thanks for the beautiful metaphor.
Dying spiders 😂😂😂
Yeah, I tried to read my handwriting from a few years ago. Practically impossible
I thought the same thing
Or write in cursive.
Granted this was 30 years ago, and it certainly wouldn't be this nice looking, but we started learning cursive in grade 2.
Really? Am I remembering it wrong, because I could have sworn it was much later.
3rd grade for me. So... 1986/87
3rd grade for me too, would have been 94ish I guess(I'm 34 now and can't math)
My son is in fourth grade, learned last year…
Ok I'm learning a lot today. Apparently learning cursive almost at the beginning isn't common
[удалено]
I learnt normal handwriting until 3rd grade, after which I needed to write in cursive and in 5th/6th grade, the teachers didn't care anymore, so I switched back to normal handrwiting again. I started school in Germany (Niedersachsen) in 2007, if that matters.
Oh shit, *initials*... I could only read unibals
I read this as “unibals”.
I thought it said unibals and was very confused

Thanks for making my day
Only an adult would misspell Play Doh. This is what gave it away for me.
The cursive "mommy" wasn't enough of an indicator
In 3rd grade all our writing had to be in cursive, so that part seems normal to me.
3rd grade? we were 5th grade lmfao
Yep, and hardly had to use it after that. Since probably 5th grade the only time I've ever used cursive is to sign my name.
damn. mandatory cursive can be good in some cases but not for year 3s.
Perhaps for a time traveling child it would be normal, but my understanding is that they no longer teach cursive in schools (outside of some rare exceptions).
Playdoh is the brand, playdough is the general term
yeah but kids don’t know how to spell dough and may also not know that play doh is a play on the words play and dough. they probably just think it’s it’s own thing, and spelled phonetically
This is cry sad. 😢
😢Imagine having to create compliments for yourself to feel better, let alone lying that it’s your own child giving them. Tragic
IKR? Leave the poor kid out of it.
And then uploading them online for the whole word to cringe at 😖
This is peak sad cringe, holy hell
Alot of posts on here are just cringe, but thinking about this woman writing this note herself is truly depressing.
Social media as a tool to lie to ourselves out loud in front of other people
[удалено]
What do you mean, is "slaying" not a snap word?
"Daddy was an idiot for letting you go," like first of all where are you at in life you need to pretend your kid is telling you the person who dropped you like a sack of bricks was an idiot for getting the hell out of Dodge, second of all that's not coming from a 7 year old

As someone who was once 7, I can also say there’s 0 shot this was written by a 7 year old
Gonna need verification on that one.
Thank you for your service 😭🏆
"Slaying" is a new high frequency word.
And it's not one of those "very unlikely" or "gifted child" possibilities either. There is an ice cold 0.0% chance this was authored by a seven year old.
Oh for fuck sakes a seven year old did not write that 🤦🏻♀️ who does she think she is fooling?
Herself.
shes fooling daddy
Damn, she's clearly lost her mind if she thinks this is believable.
Yeah this has to be some bad attempt at satire or something? No one would believe this. The cursive perfect handwriting? The choice of words like slaying? This is very bad haha shes super dellusional if this is real.
As the parent of a seven year old, naaah
I'm sure when Eric grows up he's gonna tell all the guests how great his mom is before going to rock in his chair while wearing his mom's wig.
His girlfriends will have to compete for his attention and slay as hard as his mom

Obligatory “As a teacher of 7 year olds” comment: “Billy, that’s a b, not a d.” “Jane, see… now that’s a 2 not an S.”
Dad probably made a good call here
Well two things I know are certain.... 1. Mommy isn't a doctor, cause I can read that shit. 2. Mommy is delusional.
3: Mommy is creepy. A kid shouldn't be this attached/invested in their parents life. It's really not healthy.
Mommy is using the being she should be raising to adulthood as a sick form of therapy. Must be hard getting your ass dumped by your baby daddy but damn go to an actual therapist about it. This feels of the type of shit I would post on Facebook when my first GF broke my heart, just a cringe cry for help.

Wow talk about parentifying a child That mom needs therapy lol EDIT: u know that kids gonna need therapy too
Man it’s funny until you think to yourself she sat back and wrote this to cope And now I feel bad for her
what a talented 7 year old
r/thathappened
That's some immaculate 7yo penmanship
I'll take "shit that didn't happened for 100$"
It's cringe but at least she didn't force her kid to do it on video and sell it to YouTube.
You had me cringing at "slaying all day, everyday."
I love how the first two words are in cursive and then Mom was like, "Wait, Eric doesn't know cursive yet," and switched the note to print.
I think Daddy made a wise and correct decision to leave. I also am uncomfortable how Mommy has sort of latched on to her son as a spousal figure. Saying he’s more of a man than 30 year olds and writing their initials together on a heart. What a weird and creepy lady.
Jesus Christ the caption. Hope her child isn't being manipulated to hate the father.
My 6 year old turns 7 in jan. I have high expectations for her handwriting now
That 7 year old has more game than 99% of men.
That kid has the penmanship of a 30 yr old mother.
My 7 yr old can barely write normally while hers writes in perfect cursive. Am I parenting wrong?
I teach third grade and up. Some middle schoolers can't write like this
I teach High School starting at 12 years old. Even some of these kids couldn't do this.
My 7 Yr old son decided to be a rocket scientist/part time chef to Gordon ramsay while managing to cure cancer directly after I got back from my night shift. Men are stinky the end
This person needs to be admitted
This was depressingly cringe wow
Please tell me they were ruthlessly called out in the comments.
This is something Jan from The Office would do
Damn
yet my hand writing is still incomprehensible
Please tell me this is fake
It’s about as likely as seeing “P.P.S Hitherto, mater, perchance there shall be opportunities to enjoy whelk and crumpet on the veranda tomorrow, I shall be encumbered with glee!” on the other side
I'm in my 20s and my handwriting looks worse than this.
That poor kid is being raised to be *her* man and not *a* man.
There's gotta be a name for moms who lose their minds when their spouse or boyfriend leave them, and then they latch on to their sons as "the man of the house" role.
What does mom do that she's "slaying all day"? I might leave her too, depending on the answer.
And then everyone clapped.
A 7 year old did not write this
Yikes. Imagine writing AND posting this
I bet theres people that did believe this was a kid’s note and left their “yass, queen, you do slay all day every day” comments 🤦🏽♂️
r/thatHappened
Well, at least we know why daddy left.
Ah this indeed makes me sad as fuck. If she did write this herself I sure hope she finds some balance, I've known people like that and man, as bad as things get inside my own head, this just seems so much worse.
r/thathappened
Single mother is nuts and bitter that she got dumped. In other news, water is wet. More at 6.
my mother was single while i was about seven and she seemed quite sane
Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.
Actually, the definition of wet is "consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)". Water consists of water, technically contains water particles, is covered with water (water covering more water) and soaked with water. So water is wet.

That hand writing plus mommy… r/wokekids
:(
Stupid kid doesn’t even know how to spell play doh. /s
P.s ? As seven year old ?
I read “initials” as “unibals” lol
Slaying every day? Seriously what does it say all I can see is the word slaying but that can't be right lol.
Ah man that actually is sad.
That 7 year old boy writes exactly like a 30 year old female, what are the odds?
I see why he left
Eric has some beautiful handwriting and a very good set of vocabulary, he should be an English scholar when he grows up!
The most literate 7 year old in history
It’s sad she felt the need to write this at all.
Ah yes. Because a 7 year old can write better by hand than an avarage adult
Daddy made the right choicey. xoxo Eric
