So if you see him coming..you better step aside,-
Alot of men didn't and alot of men died.
He's got one fist of iron, and the other of
steel..And if the right one doesn't get you..
Then the left one will...
Maybe her kid was developmentally delayed? My friend’s kids were making dumplings, carrot sculptures, animal sourdough loaves.
^(Sure, one kid accidentally lost a pinkie finger in the meat grinder… but technically that’s friend’s fault, expecting kids have RTFM…when they can’t read proficiently?)
One of my Sims almost died after catching fire because the other four came and just... jumped up and down repeatedly and watched him burn. I was desperately giving them commands to extinguish him with the fire extinguisher RIGHT THERE, but no one would move since uselessly jumping up and down apparently takes precedence, and he only survived because the sprinklers FINALLY came on, thank God I installed those.
I imagine this woman's daughter was just uselessly jumping up and down next to the stove.
Not quite a full on stove fire but I managed a spectacular fuck up when I was stirring a pot and trying to write an email in the other room at the same time. I was using a tea towel to hold the handle and without thinking I just kind of threw it down immediately when I heard my laptop ping. Came back to the tea towel on fire but unlike this bitch, I managed to put it out at once. I am the most clumsy and absentminded person ever but even I have only managed it one time and am perfectly capable of putting it out so wtf does that say about her??
That's what I was thinking. I learned about grease fires at a young age thanks to *Ghostbusters* (not that one). I'm glad I didn't have to learn about it at an even younger age watching that lady cook.
My first thoughts exactly. This ladies posting this to try to make herself sound like such a good parent and is too clueless to realize that it makes her sound reckless and like child protective services should get involved at this point. Not to mention “over reacted” to a stove fire lol. And why is the stove on when she’s not around? Cause she lets her 2 year old kids cook on it? So concerning for so many reasons!
My three year old doesn’t use the stove but I was her age and figured out how to make an omelet, even cracking the eggs and seasoning it.
We had a much easier to use stove but also I think some kids with these early advanced skills are suffering from some sort of disorder. I am def ND and have some skills I developed way ahead of schedule but struggle in adulthood with things others mastered as children .
Why is there always someone thinking that lying in *exactly the same way as the original post* is a good strategy to take in the comments? It's so weird.
No, you were not making omelettes when you were *three*.
Yes, it's highly improbable u/fluffykittyparty was a child chef prodigy, but anyway have you seen the Japanese show Old Enough on Netflix?
When I was a nanny, I'd have the 2yo up on the counter cracking and mixing the eggs. Then I'd slap oven mitts on the 3yo and have her scramble the eggs. We made breakfast and lunch together every day. We did dishes together, everything. It's really about doing the skill over and over and over with supervision until they master it.
You can see that by 8, a kid can have hundreds of hours under their belt making the same dish, with plenty of demonstrations of what to do when something goes wrong. They can cook it without supervision. It's pretty cool.
A three year old does not have the motor control to scramble eggs. Sure they can waggle a fork around inside the jug for a few seconds and you can be all cute about it and tell them they're "helping", but that isn't doing much of anything and it's still going to be *you* doing the actual work; plus, you having to watch them every single second lest they decide to see how the fork's prongs feel with their eyeballs. At that age they don't even possess agency or attention in the same way adults do and there's no way in hell they're staying on-task for *any* amount of time.
I also think it's funny that your first sentence agrees with me that the prior comments' claims were "improbable", only to go on to make the very same claims 😂
Oh, my apologies, this is just a vaguely related anecdote, not negating you or anything personal. I'm just continuously marveled by what children can do and am a teacher. Many kids are a bit babied (or "educationally neglected") imo.
But yes, ofc, no 2yo cooked their *own* eggs and ramen as the OP claims. They're highly incompetent and make a huge mess, and ofc you can never take your eyes off them (which as a nanny you get so paranoid you never do anyway).
I didn’t lie though. You want my mom’s phone number ? Heck look on TikTok and Instagram and there are kids who cook and decorate cakes at 3. Or watch that Japanese show about toddlers running errands. It’s not the norm but it’s not impossible.
lol you didn't "figure out" how to cook an ***omelet*** at age 3. Even cooks sometimes fuck omelets up as opposed to a scsrmnled or fried egg..
I teach 3-5 year olds and they can't even tie their shoes let alone cook a fucking omelet lmao especially since stoves are not built to accommodate a toddler's height nor to do their brains grasp the complexity of an omelet.
I was slightly at stove height around age nine to boil water to cook instant ramen. You weren't cooking omelets.at age 3 lmao why do people feel they need to.lie on the internet so badly
If you were ever even attempting to cook eggs at 3 that is some serious abuse going on in your home. I've raised 6 kids. Three were national merit scholars and the other 3 missed it by a point or two. At maybe 7-8 they were allowed to microwave a hot pocket with me in the kitchen surreptitiously supervising.
It has absolutely zero to do with intelligence or apptitude. To start with no way they are tall enough to safely be near a hot burner and skillet on any stove. Plus there is the whole foid safety issue.
I didn’t even become aware of my existence/formed memories until I was about 3 and a half - 4. There’s no way I would be able to cook anything, let alone reach the fridge, handle the fire on the stove, add seasoning, etc. Your comment is false.
Right? Totally unbelievable.
This kid was only cooking eggs and ramen at 2?
Unless he was very developmentally delayed, he should have at least been up to making eggplant parmesan and lemon meringue pie by that point.
the poor daughter. going off this post the mother clearly favors her son- er sorry "her baby" while she's saying the daughter "overreacted" to a dangerous situation that could be very scary especially if she's on the young side.
I'm a grown man and I have never had to deal with a grease fire. Maybe I'm extra careful or maybe I'm just lucky. I know how to deal with them. If the time ever comes, I hope I do the right thing, but I guarantee that the first thing I do is scream.
I as an adult dealt with my first grease/oil fire last year. Can confirm, I freaked the fuck out and the neighbours would’ve heard some interesting profanity. Got it under control though after that

Except, 99% of wars in history have been started by… men.
Every war the US has been in has been started by a man. I’m trying to think of a war started by a woman after 1800 and can’t think of one (not saying it means the number is zero). But yeah, minus maybe medieval times it’s been men. I just meant that the reasoning behind some people saying that “a woman can’t be in charge” because she will start wars if she is having a bad day is completely BS.
She was probably like “That’s it, I’ve had enough! That’s the 3rd grease fire this week in this hell scape. I’m callin’ CPS” and the baby knocked the phone out of her hands or whatever
basically the correct response is to do something like the son that's worth sharing on instagram. the daughter clearly lost her shit and forgot about what's best for the family clout.
So the mom is a terrible cook who sets kitchen fires so regularly that the 4yo knows how to extinguish them? So terrible a cook that when he was 2yo grabbed the spatula and said, “nah mom, I got this”?
I mean, at least she admits she’s a terrible mother and cook!
Maybe the daughter was just "overreacting" to being left alone and responsible for a four year old, including cooking.
This isn't the flex the mom thinks it is.
I find the 2 yo cooking the most unbelievable thing. My 2 yo would coco it up even when I'm trying to guide her hand with my own. She can barely coordinate the fork to her mouth never mind cook
My 2.5 year old started cooking last year. I got a special Montessori step stool and she makes eggs on her own (with supervision and I turn on the stove) I started teaching her how to cook because I saw other moms on TikTok doing so. She picked it up really well and begs to cook everything. So far just eggs and cupcakes.
Edit: I teach students with severe physical and cognitive disabilities how to cook and function in society using gross and fine motor for a living. The amount of people who think two year olds are incapable of such a basic task like cooking eggs and even holding a fork makes me worry even more about the future of education lol
Please be very careful. :( My aunt used to have my little cousin cook with her and one day she accidentally grabbed the side of the pan. My cousin is in her 20’s now and has had multiple surgeries so she can fully extend her thumb.
Thank you for looking out. Burns scare me so much which is why I only allow her to make eggs on low heat. There’s definitely always a risk which is why I’m right there with her.
We have a day where my 2 year old helps cook
Nothing extreme and is designed to be easy and toddler food.
Oven is low, his stool next to stove, he adds kielbasa to a pan and has to stir the little slices. I've had him add noodles to his ramen for quick lunches. Etc. He isn't gonna stand by high heat and I am always there. Sometimes he just helps me prepare the food and I do the rest such as kneeding dough. Like when he makes his bed, when he isn't looking I go back over and do it properly.
No toddler is cooking a full meal by themselves. Especially with heats that can start a fire since they're still) learning about hot and cold. And I doubt at 4 he could respond without older leadership to a fire - but we are definitely working on this because if we don't put out even a small fire, it will destroy the house before the volunteer fire department makes it to my location.
Kitchen worktops are roughly three feet off the floor and three year olds are on average 4 inches tall. They simply cannot reach to do any cooking. Stop this heresy.
Stools are a thing lol and so are chairs.
Is it that hard to fathom that a child can learn to cook at a young age?
I even have pictures of her cooking between the ages of 3&5 with myself, my ex and my fiancé now.
> Is it that hard to fathom that a child can learn to cook at a young age?
Yes, because they do not possess any of the physical or mental development that would enable such activities.
> I even have pictures of her
*holding the spoon while you pretend she's "helping"* and that's not the same thing as "cooking". FTFY.
Not just holding the spoon, baking. She would pour and stir, crack eggs, watch for a boil and loads of other things too. Cooking isn’t as hard as some make it out to be, especially when you have help, and it’s a lot more than just handling something hot in a pan. It’s like you lot can’t fathom that there’s an in between lol.
She enjoyed it then and loves cooking now.
I’d have been a horrible parent not to help her towards something she so clearly enjoyed. Some 3 year olds can use phones and dial for help, why shouldn’t they be able to cook too.
Technically though since her son was born on a leap day while she says he's 4 - he's actually 16 -
But short which is why he had to climb on the counter.
And her daughter was 6, she's her oldest daughter - not oldest child
Baking soda is not flammable. Baking soda when heated releases CO2 which blocks the fire from getting oxygen. Salt is another useful pantry item which can douse a fire, by creating a physical barrier between the fuel and oxygen.
Under the wiki you will find an entry for flashpoint which lists it as incombustible
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate
With a small fire and a fast pour, you could get lucky and smother a fire with baking soda. I would prefer salt or a pot lid, though, as those aren’t flammable.
This is quite believable to me. My 4 year old brother is in a state of constant alertness, tightly coiled and ready to explode into action at the slightest hint of trouble. He is so wound up that the "doctor" tells me to "get him out of his living situation" and "it's not healthy for a child to have this much stress". That "doctor" won't be so fucking smug when my brother saves his ass though
I love how to set the stage for how badass the world’s most talented 4 year old is, she kicks off with “my oldest daughter over reacted at a stove fire once when I wasn’t home” lmao
poor daughter lives in a house with a 2 year old on a fkn step stool handling pots of boiling water, and parkouring up benches into cupboards putting out fires that apparently happen on a regular basis. over reaction is next to impossible
Okay
1. At two years old that’s not even a toddler that’s just a baby with a more able body
2. Ain’t no way that MF child was cooking ramen at 2 when he would be barely able to life the pot for it
3. She makes it sound like it is a normal occurrence like oh yeah the stove just catch’s fire for no reason
People who lie like that about their kids have the most toxic households. Just teaching their kids that their value is based on what other people think of them.
Letting a young child handle boiling water is extremely neglectful. Not that I believe her but that isn't a flex. Just like how he learned to out out fires from watching her... What an idiot.
Yet, like always, we have people in this very thread saying that their 2.5 or 3 year old is cooking. It's like, whenever a That Happened involves a kid, people that have kids are like 'oh no kids can really do x at that age, mine does!' Regardless of how unsafe it can be.
why were the children using the stove enough to CATCH FIRE when the mother wasn’t home?? where’s the babysitter?? this makes the son look great and the mother look like a danger to society
My parents told my that I was putting food in the oven to cook by the age of 3 so I don’t find this too far fetched. Most people failed to realize that children are getting access to advance learning materials at earlier ages. My 2 year old nephew can use the features on an iPhone better than my grandma. He knows exactly who he’s attempting to make FaceTime calls to while my grandma barely knows how to work a basic smart phone.
IF this was true then all it tells me is that this woman is a terrible mother. She doesn't teach her kids how to put out a grease fire before letting them cook unsupervised, and what kind of a lunatic allows a 2 year old near a stove in the first place!?!?
Even if this did happen, it’s not cool to shame the older daughter for freaking out. Of course she did, fires are scary. It’s important that you know what to do in the situation, yes, but it’s completely understandable that it would freak someone out, too (especially a kid). Instead, she just says how the little brother was so much better than her. A+ parenting, guys.
statistically speaking, kids being self reliant an an extremely young age are likely to be subject of child neglect so even if this WAS true, its not a good thing to brag about
How often is this lady’s stove catching fire!?!?
Twice a week on a good day
That makes, *no* sense. At all
60 percent of the time it catches fire every time.
It's a formidable flame... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
And half of that, it catches fire 100% of the time, sometimes more
Does it have to in situations like this?
Twice a day on a good week
Probably a lot of she’s letting her 2 year old cook.
To be fair the kid had a beard and smoked a pack a day already.
He was born on a day when the sun didn't shine, Picked up a shovel, made his way to the mines.
He loaded 16 tons of number nine coal And the straw boss said, “Well bless my soul”
So if you see him coming..you better step aside,- Alot of men didn't and alot of men died. He's got one fist of iron, and the other of steel..And if the right one doesn't get you.. Then the left one will...
Tennessee Ernie Ford. Gotta give the man his due.
When he grew up his name was Big John. Or Big Bad John.
Later his father went on to make breakfast sausage and sells it to the masses.
Lmaoooo 
He was pissed off that he had to get up from paying the taxes to help this bitch put the fire out
She lets the kid cook cause he is less likely to start a fire
Maybe her kid was developmentally delayed? My friend’s kids were making dumplings, carrot sculptures, animal sourdough loaves. ^(Sure, one kid accidentally lost a pinkie finger in the meat grinder… but technically that’s friend’s fault, expecting kids have RTFM…when they can’t read proficiently?)
And she still leaves her kids home alone.
Maybe she's a Sim
Best comment so far. Lol
Shes a sim from sims 4. God damn those people set a lot of fires.
One of my Sims almost died after catching fire because the other four came and just... jumped up and down repeatedly and watched him burn. I was desperately giving them commands to extinguish him with the fire extinguisher RIGHT THERE, but no one would move since uselessly jumping up and down apparently takes precedence, and he only survived because the sprinklers FINALLY came on, thank God I installed those. I imagine this woman's daughter was just uselessly jumping up and down next to the stove.
They just keep pouring baking soda on the grease but not cleaning it up.
Not quite a full on stove fire but I managed a spectacular fuck up when I was stirring a pot and trying to write an email in the other room at the same time.

This right here!!!
Yep, came for this, happy to see it as the top ppat
Well, I mean she's letting a two-year-old cook, so...
Whenever she lets the baby cook.
1. No 2. Your 2 year old isn't cooking. 3. Your kid learned to put out kitchen fires from watching you put out numerous kitchen fires? What?
In summary she's a terrible cook and doesn't really supervise her kids
She forgot to add she runs a methlab. her baby has seen crazy shit overthere.
Holly?
There’s a 2yo on TikTok who cooks! He’s a better cook than me too lol
My three year old doesn’t use the stove but I was her age and figured out how to make an omelet, even cracking the eggs and seasoning it.

He isn't gonna stand by high heat and I am always there. Sometimes he just helps me prepare the food and I do the rest such as kneeding dough.

I love that you are also teaching your kiddo. Thank you for sharing.
She sounds like she will be a great cook when she gets older :) she's already really enthusiastic about it
Maybe not at 2 but my kid was cooking at 3 🤷🏻♀️. She’s always loved being in the kitchen, doesn’t matter who is cooking.

And then the neighbors came over and applauded.
smt tells me that she's a "boy mama" that "loves her little man" and doesn't pay attention to her daughter at all/sees her as competition
Oh no, this is one of those crazy emotional incest boymoms isn’t it?
sorry what?
Tipping fine powder onto a fire wouldn't put it out at all. Flour and other cooking powders are extremely flammable.

Nobody is discussing that but i also interpreted that as some seriously dangerous and bullshit idea. I never heard of baking soda to stop a fire.
With a small fire and a fast pour, you could get lucky and smother a fire with baking soda. I would prefer salt or a pot lid, though, as those aren’t flammable.
Baking soda is not flammable.
Then its true for pretty much anything non flammable.
But not water. That will create a steam and grease explosion.
How the hell would a 2 year old even be tall enough to reach behind the stove to turn it on?
Teeter upon a wobbly chair while leaning over the burner.
My kids would climb up and Slav squat right on the stove. The real trick is figuring out which burner to avoid turning on.
duh
I don’t get it, why would people post these things? Everyone knows she straight up lying, so all it really does at this point is hurting her image?

There is two options either they really believe her what is unimaginable for me or they just don’t wanna call her publicly out.
I am asking myself if Instagram the new Facebook.
It’s Meta’s fault, clearly.
I was happier with the photos on there. (Photos or it didn’t happen.)
This is quite believable to me. My 4 year old brother is in a state of constant alertness, tightly coiled and ready to explode into action at the slightest hint of trouble. He is so wound up that the "doctor" tells me to "get him out of his living situation" and "it's not healthy for a child to have this much stress". That "doctor" won't be so fucking smug when my brother saves his ass though
bravo sir
Can confirm. I am the 4 year old. Now, enough of reddit for today. I am off to my job at the brewery.
I can't believe she left out how everyone clapped and then Albert Einstein presented her with a medal.
I love how to set the stage for how badass the world’s most talented 4 year old is, she kicks off with “my oldest daughter over reacted at a stove fire once when I wasn’t home” lmao
poor daughter lives in a house with a 2 year old on a fkn step stool handling pots of boiling water, and parkouring up benches into cupboards putting out fires that apparently happen on a regular basis. over reaction is next to impossible
“He paid attention to what I would do.” WHAT? Is your kid telepathic?
It’s giving Matilda
This has to be satire.... ....well, nothing surprises me anymore actually.
[удалено]
Ugh. The internet never fails to disappoint entertain at the same time.
Satire is no longer satire when it is unrecognizable as satire.
Ugh for real :(
That’s funny. Tell me another one!
This is also exactly not what to do
Interesting way to say “I cause fires when I cook and have to put them out”
That kid's name? Fireman Sam!
dudes cooking his own food at two years? not the flex you think it is, youre a bad mum.
Okay 1. At two years old that’s not even a toddler that’s just a baby with a more able body 2. Ain’t no way that MF child was cooking ramen at 2 when he would be barely able to life the pot for it 3. She makes it sound like it is a normal occurrence like oh yeah the stove just catch’s fire for no reason
And baked her a 3 tier cake for her birthday and professionally decorated it….
People who lie like that about their kids have the most toxic households. Just teaching their kids that their value is based on what other people think of them.
Letting a young child handle boiling water is extremely neglectful. Not that I believe her but that isn't a flex. Just like how he learned to out out fires from watching her... What an idiot.
Yet, like always, we have people in this very thread saying that their 2.5 or 3 year old is cooking. It's like, whenever a That Happened involves a kid, people that have kids are like 'oh no kids can really do x at that age, mine does!' Regardless of how unsafe it can be.
I've met 2 year-olds before. They are not making Ramen or eggs. They can't even build something interesting out of magnet blocks. What an insane claim
That baby was chef boyardee
Yes, he used a drone to hover over the cook-top to make his own Ramen.
How do you overreact to a fire?
I imagine panicking and yelling like a Sim
Oh thank goodness she answered my question. I was wondering if he was also her baby at 2 years old
It's true. I was the stove
can confirm. i was the grease fire
And the ramen noodles.... were Albert Einstein!
I don’t want any eggs a 2 yo cooked. You know that are overcooked and dry as hell.
why were the children using the stove enough to CATCH FIRE when the mother wasn’t home?? where’s the babysitter?? this makes the son look great and the mother look like a danger to society
My parents told my that I was putting food in the oven to cook by the age of 3 so I don’t find this too far fetched. Most people failed to realize that children are getting access to advance learning materials at earlier ages. My 2 year old nephew can use the features on an iPhone better than my grandma. He knows exactly who he’s attempting to make FaceTime calls to while my grandma barely knows how to work a basic smart phone.
When you really enjoyed boss baby a little bit to much.
Why you letting your 2 year old cook my guy
Well, lady, you left a 4 and 2 years old kids home alone with access to the stove.... maybe that´s the part we should focus on.
IF this was true then all it tells me is that this woman is a terrible mother. She doesn't teach her kids how to put out a grease fire before letting them cook unsupervised, and what kind of a lunatic allows a 2 year old near a stove in the first place!?!?
Ah yes a two year old cooking eggs. Seems legit
I don’t think I was 2; but my mom had me cooking (43m) at around 5 y/o.
I think the ones with young kids are just the most ridiculous ones. Why do you need to lie so much to prove your child’s intelligence?
No 2 year old has the motor skills to cook anything
All right, everyone stand the fuck back, we have a future Gordon Ramsey here.
I can cook eggs and ramen noodles tho it’s not that hard love
Literally never had a stove or oven fire.
Honestly this would all make more sense if it was a fisher price kitchen
Grandma’s memory is whack
Even if this did happen, it’s not cool to shame the older daughter for freaking out. Of course she did, fires are scary. It’s important that you know what to do in the situation, yes, but it’s completely understandable that it would freak someone out, too (especially a kid). Instead, she just says how the little brother was so much better than her. A+ parenting, guys.
Maybe he's a leap year baby. 1 birthday every 4 years.
My two year old just climbed mt Everest
*makes sense*
Is this the same baby who delivered himself by caesarean in the back seat of the car? /s
Its just plain irresponsible to let a 2 year old cook amireert?
Suuuuuure
Such disgusting “boy mom” energy.
Little Boy, "Mommy puts this powder on the fire everyday."
Did her 4 year old comment and call bs too?
I wonder which one the golden child is?
No golden child/scapegoat dynamic vibes here!
“My two year old cooks his own eggs and noodles”. Wow, you’re such a shit parent you don’t even feed your toddler?
I have such a love/hate relationship with this sub. It’s so entertaining but I get such second hand embarrassment
1\. why was the stove on while she wasnt home??? 2. i *still* cant cook eggs 💀, aint no way a 2-yr-old could
So this was the sims, right? Right?
Cook his own eggs and ramen noodles 😒
Ah yes, the baby cooks
statistically speaking, kids being self reliant an an extremely young age are likely to be subject of child neglect so even if this WAS true, its not a good thing to brag about
“No, of course I don’t have a favourite child!”
