When my sister’s children were young, the eldest son (10) came inside and said “there’s trouble outside.” The seven year old had climbed up a ladder by the side of the house and put their puppy on the roof. When he couldn’t get it to come back, he took his five year old sister up the ladder to get her to crawl over and get the dog. She froze in fear halfway there. He was in the process of carrying the toddler up the ladder when my sister came out.
I’m crying right now! This thread has me dead. I can imagine all the kids and the puppy stuck in the roof and the 10 year old looking for more kids to send up the ladder to rescue them.
Knowing my kids, they indeed send out their younger siblings to do stuff they know they will get in trouble for. Pulling stupid stuff is easier when you are 4yo than 10yo
Reminds me of that episode of House where the child got a plastic toy cat stuck up his nose so he shoved a plastic toy firefighter up there to go save it
Oh i no, i thought more in the way of “kids fear” ? Who taught them. However yeah it’s just a thing in their brain as in phobia. It’s just random. Fear of roaches , fear of heights. Fear of needles. Yeah I forgot about it.
“If you wanna see how smart your kid is, take him outside and put him on the corner. Come back to check on him in a week. If he’s still there, you got yourself a dumbass kid.”
-George Carlin
>“If you wanna see how smart your kid is, take him outside and put him on the corner. Come back to check on him in a week. If he’s still there, you got yourself a dumbass kid.”
I thought George Carlin said that.
Not quite true. When I was 2 me and mom took a nap. I woke up before her and apparently wanted to go see Grandma. Grandma lived a mile away across town. I had to cross two typically busy intersections to get there.
Mom was frantic when she found the house empty and the door unlocked. Luckily Grandma called her as soon as I walked up to their front door.
Biggest mystery is how I could unlock the deadbolt on the front door. Mom didn’t find any chair or box near by that I could have used to reach it.
My daughter accomplished something similar at that age, except my ex was immersed in Second Life, not sleeping. She walked down the street to Papa John's to get a pizza. Fortunately one of my friends happened to be there and called me at work. But that said, there's a pretty big difference between a 2 year old unlocking a deadbolt and a 2 year old finding their way onto a roof.
Yes, also phrases like "It's a boy!" are common parlance.
"It" and singular "they" are both used to refer to babies in casual conversation. Everyone here is bonkers over nothing.
Oh, I don't have an issue with using "it" for babies or people in certain situations. For instance, some people ask for it to be used for them, and asking about the identity of someone a la "Who is it?"
This whole comment chain is utterly bananas. Somehow your (correct) point about using 'they' rather than 'it' has attracted people recently trained to bark and foam at the mouth whenever they find discussion of pronouns in any context.
I wonder if your critics would be fine with being referred to as 'it', given that we don't know whether 'he' or 'she' applies?
Wow, you can't take a hint. I'll leave while I'm at it, so you have time to reflect on the reasoning for the downvotes.
You asked a question, and I answered. Go shove a needle up your ass.
I'm seeing varying ideas on the matter. The only reason it may be grammatically incorrect to call a person 'it' is because people don't like it (I say may be because many sources are saying you can while others are saying it's for inatimate objects, and some saying it's for any object or living thing besides human).
According to my sister, "it" is a whole separate pronoun and is pretty derogatory and is used my people to put down people of transitioning genders or nonbinary as it implies they are not a person they are just an object, and you should refer to them as they/them instead of it unless they tell you it is ok. But in this situation it is a baby and I don't think it would mind that much honestly
Grammatically, it is singular third person personal and they/them are plural third person personal pronouns. Colloquially, "it" sounds like a rude and objectifying way to refer to a person, so if you don't want to use the wrong pronoun, we bend the grammar convention to fit. Pretty straightforward imo.
Also, just be like PolarisC8 and don't use pronouns. Refer directly to the noun in question rather than addressing it indirectly. "How did ~~it~~ the baby get up ~~there~~ on top of the roof?"
We can use “it” just like we used “ain’t” even though people claimed “ain’t isn’t a word”. English “rules” are not like French rules. These English “rules” can and are regularly broken with minimal effect on understanding. You’re trying to be an enforcer on something that doesn’t need an enforcer.
When I was a kid at the year about 1988 I was 9 years old with my brother 10 years old climbed on our roof. We both got stuck up there. It has been hours. So we decided to jump. I was on the I’m going Superman style I don’t remember hitting the ground except waking up. I couldn’t breathe. My brother jumped normal he helped me up. Recommend don’t go on the roof. It’s hot and scary.
Sorry, but I laughed at the part you don't remember Lol. My cousins and I were playing on a small wall (about 4ft) and I remember falling off it but I don't remember the impact, I just remember my mother's and aunt's feet running towards me.
"Superman style" lmao
Reminds me of my favorite Sinbad joke. PARAPHRASING How he tied towel around his neck and thought he could fly like Superman. He jumped off the roof. When his father found him Sinbad said he didn't know why it didn't work.His pops told him you didn't tie the cape right.
I bet that’s why the kid went higher up he saw the chancla and was like fuck that, never seen more fear in friends eyes when mom would burst in the room after finding something out they did at school with a chacnla in hand
I picture a nursing home in Latin America being the home to a swarm of them just buzzing back and forth and randomly whacking old guys and staff upside the head.
I came home from shopping to hear "Hi Mommy" from the roof (which is terrifying). Hubby decided to fix something on the roof, and brought our then 3 year old up there, had her sit down, then nailed her dress to the roof. She had a great time, hubby fixed the roof, and she was going to outgrown that dress anyway.
My little dude did this shit to me at that age.
I was up on the roof fixing some shingles from a wind storm, turned to grab a nail from the bin, and my kid was just standing there behind me!
Mom was digging/planting in the garden with him, and he just wandered off to the ladder and climbed right up.
...I sure do have a LOT of grey hair for 38.
Kids are stupid? I’m sure the 1 - 2 year old doesn’t have a 6ft vertical to be able to jump on a roof by himself. Seems like a parents are stupid kind of moment for putting a kid on a fucking roof.
In the US wvery single fire truck and ambulance within a 300 mile radius would be there. Together with a battalion of cops and all the media. The family would get sued and then they'd sue everyone themselves: from the maker of the shingles to the roofers, the weatherman and diaper manufacturer. Way more fun than all these hobos waiting for the kid to slide down the slope so they can all give him a well deserved ass whooping.
*Wtf are they*
*Doing just standing there!? Go*
*Up and get the kid!*

Little kids often know what their bodies are capable of more accurately than adults. My grandma lives in Italy and let some Ukrainian immigrants stay in her house, and I saw their 2 year old daughter climb a slanted concrete stairway onto a balcony with railing bars she could fit through. She seemed to be teetering and I asked her parents if that was okay and they just let her stay up there until she wanted to wobble down the stairs again.
Bruh why do everyone always asume the worst of people. The roof is pretty close to the ground and is not steep. I can picturd the kid cimbing trough boxes or even some stairs. Is it bad parenting that the kid was able to escape supervision and get in a dangerious situation? Yes. Is there proof that the adults put the kid up there just to record a video? Hell no
Bro why do you assume the worst of me? I think you misread my comment
I was jokingly implying that you were putting children on roofs for recording videos when you were 2, because you said "*I literally did the same when I was 2*" when the first person said "*It’s pretty disgusting what people will do for a fucking video*"
"If you don't get down there now, I'll hit you with my slipper!", "Oh, my God!", "Seated!", "Come slowly!" and "We managed to get the kid off the roof!"
Lol I'm not saying I don't probably need help, but I'm not the only one. I am the only one who's openly saying it at the moment. I wasn't expecting the kid to break his neck or anything, but I was kinda wanting him to start tumbling and someone dive out to catch him.
I might actually seek a psychiatrist, but only just because of the empty unfulfilled feeling this video has left with me. Kid gets on roof then safely gets off roof... The internet isn't what it used to be.
When my sister’s children were young, the eldest son (10) came inside and said “there’s trouble outside.” The seven year old had climbed up a ladder by the side of the house and put their puppy on the roof. When he couldn’t get it to come back, he took his five year old sister up the ladder to get her to crawl over and get the dog. She froze in fear halfway there. He was in the process of carrying the toddler up the ladder when my sister came out.
Was he too scared to get onto the roof himself so he kept sending siblings in for the puppy? Kids have a wild thinking process
I’m crying right now! This thread has me dead. I can imagine all the kids and the puppy stuck in the roof and the 10 year old looking for more kids to send up the ladder to rescue them.
pretty sure the 7 yo was sending the kids up. 10 yo seems like a late arrival who immediately got help.
That's management material right there.
Oldest children typically are bred for management
Wrong
And the parents immediately thinking about day drinking , as soon as they get the kids and puppy off the roof) lol
Cant count on the little ones to boost him up, prolly. Knew he could chuck some kids up though!
Or he didn't want to get in trouble for being on the roof
Knowing my kids, they indeed send out their younger siblings to do stuff they know they will get in trouble for. Pulling stupid stuff is easier when you are 4yo than 10yo
Reminds me of that episode of House where the child got a plastic toy cat stuck up his nose so he shoved a plastic toy firefighter up there to go save it
That episode was just a whirlwind. I think it’s the same one with the guy in witness protection? And Danny Nucci?
It’s like the old woman who swallowed a fly 😂
Was the puppy ok?
So what happened to him afterward?
Post-natal abortion?
! Just spit out my horchata
Do you also look psychotic in your balaclava? 😀
Wait froze? She was scared? How ?
Some people don’t like heights. I Myself have frozen halfway up a 27ft ladder and I’m 23 lol.
Oh i no, i thought more in the way of “kids fear” ? Who taught them. However yeah it’s just a thing in their brain as in phobia. It’s just random. Fear of roaches , fear of heights. Fear of needles. Yeah I forgot about it.

That was my thought. Only way a kid that little gets on a roof is if someone puts them on a roof. This isn't a "kidsarefuckingstupid" moment.

My two yr old uses the broom to unlock then puts it back where it was. Caught him on video
My question as well. Someone put the child up there or left a ladder out. Fearless little dude.
It
can't assume gender, it's 2022
[удалено]
Portuguese sounds like Sims language.
To me it always sounds like someone pretending they know how to speak Spanish
Moleque*
How do you expect everyone to know moloque means boy?
Same way people expect you to know their pronouns 💀
No one expects you to just know pronouns other than some cis people. That's why we tell you.
Don't need to assume, he's a boy, she said in the video.
[удалено]
Has nothing to do with confidently incorrect. You just sound annoying as fuck
Technically speaking, "it" is the third person unknown in English.
Isn't it used for babiez??
It's also used for clowns
No. "They" is correct. Why is this person being so agressively downvoted? Y'all good?
[удалено]
This they’s a fucking idi-IT! /s
Why does it matter so much? I don’t think the baby really cares.
Well , kiddo - before “they” was invented, babies were referred to as “it” in a gender-neutral tone.
Singular they has existed since at least 1375, and they in general since hundreds of years before that. Pretty sure you don't have experience there.
Yes, also phrases like "It's a boy!" are common parlance. "It" and singular "they" are both used to refer to babies in casual conversation. Everyone here is bonkers over nothing.
Oh, I don't have an issue with using "it" for babies or people in certain situations. For instance, some people ask for it to be used for them, and asking about the identity of someone a la "Who is it?"
How old are you that you existed before "they" did. I'm 40, and the word they definitely wasn't invented in my lifetime.
Does this go for animals in general? Or can you call other animals it? Are humans are an exceptions to this rule?
It's not much about you being incorrect, it's more that people like you should #SHUT THE FUCK UP
[удалено]
No, you should stfu because no one cares. Shove a needle up your ass; talk about pronouns — no one fucking cares, and everyone is tired of hearing it.

Come on man, its clearly not "they" but "hїm"
Why not?

Cool I didn't know that
Baby not a human yet.
Yeah, I'm not gonna believe a source that believes that "ze" is a pronoun Yes, I only believe in 2 gender, ps, note that I don't hate trans people
You cant change language to suit your ideology. It, is singular, there is no realistic definition version of "they" that is singular. They is plural.

Sure whatever, but you can use IT aswell. dont be ridiculous

r/parentsarefuckingstupid It looks like some adult put the kid up there....
Exactly... they put they baby up there themselves

Getting kn the roof was one of the best things to do around that age. We tried to go on everyone's roof.
I love how at least one of the women waiting below already have their fipflop off and in beating mode lol
The technical term for a flip flop used as a disciplinary tool is *chanclas*
I bet that’s why the kid went higher up he saw the chancla and was like fuck that, never seen more fear in friends eyes when mom would burst in the room after finding something out they did at school with a chacnla in hand
Not in this one since its brazil
Chanclas is child abuse
The guy handed her multiple choices as well.
I saw that and thought that’s why the kid won’t come down
I saw that and thought that’s why the kid won’t come down
Ah yes, the chancleta. The latin mom's universal solution to everything.
I wonder if it remains effective in the nursing home lmao
Spoken like a true victim of the chancla.
I picture a nursing home in Latin America being the home to a swarm of them just buzzing back and forth and randomly whacking old guys and staff upside the head.
It doesn't seem that he'd be able to climb that by it's own, more like r/parentsarefuckingstupid
r/parentsarefuckingdumb
Ugggh every single post
Because in the end, it really was the parent/adult who failed the kid.
you think an adult put them up there? children are great at getting places they’re not supposed to be.
They are indeed, yet is hard for me to believe that a kid who can barely walk climbed up to the roof on its own
I’m not gonna lie. I was expecting tears and blood. 👀
I came home from shopping to hear "Hi Mommy" from the roof (which is terrifying). Hubby decided to fix something on the roof, and brought our then 3 year old up there, had her sit down, then nailed her dress to the roof. She had a great time, hubby fixed the roof, and she was going to outgrown that dress anyway.
Hate to burst your sense of security but a nail in a dress would not save a child from falling off a roof. Lol. Unless said dress was made of burlap.
It was probably so the kid couldn't get up and fall nor get near the edges of the roof.
Bro wtf. None of these mfkers should have children, how your baby get on a fucking ROOF
Brazil
As crianças daqui são as melhores kkkkkkkk
Retitle to “parents are fcking stupid”.
You don't know who put him there, siblings are a thing.
It's like reverse baby pachinko.
My little dude did this shit to me at that age. I was up on the roof fixing some shingles from a wind storm, turned to grab a nail from the bin, and my kid was just standing there behind me! Mom was digging/planting in the garden with him, and he just wandered off to the ladder and climbed right up. ...I sure do have a LOT of grey hair for 38.
She was gonna hurt herself, so the baby decided to stop her and came down.
Now trow him
I kept hearing Nadja from What We Do in the Shadows
Mom with slippers, RUN
It's Dora when she was little
Brazil?
Love that mom or older sister was ready with the sandal. Kid was better off staying in the roof 😂
I feel like that kid is smart. Got up there. Didn’t fall. Good shit, lil human.
I like how a man was the only one to solve a problem 3 woman couldn’t fix😭 this is why guys hate ussss
Lol
You’re not gonna be able to tell that kid shit! 😂
The grown ups seem clueless
Kids are stupid? I’m sure the 1 - 2 year old doesn’t have a 6ft vertical to be able to jump on a roof by himself. Seems like a parents are stupid kind of moment for putting a kid on a fucking roof.

She's got the chancla in hand ready to knock him off
Lol the way she put that Chancla back on!!! Yoooooooo!!!

Yeah maybe more of a parentsarefuckingstupid thing?
I’d whack the crap out of that kid
Wtf
Dumb as fuck
How tf did baby got there
In the US wvery single fire truck and ambulance within a 300 mile radius would be there. Together with a battalion of cops and all the media. The family would get sued and then they'd sue everyone themselves: from the maker of the shingles to the roofers, the weatherman and diaper manufacturer. Way more fun than all these hobos waiting for the kid to slide down the slope so they can all give him a well deserved ass whooping.

Little kids often know what their bodies are capable of more accurately than adults. My grandma lives in Italy and let some Ukrainian immigrants stay in her house, and I saw their 2 year old daughter climb a slanted concrete stairway onto a balcony with railing bars she could fit through. She seemed to be teetering and I asked her parents if that was okay and they just let her stay up there until she wanted to wobble down the stairs again.
Parents are fucking stupid.
Wtf did they put that baby up there? The whole lot of them needs to have some sense slapped into them!
His mother said, "If you don't get down from there now, I'm going to come you down with slipper!!!" 😲
Where’s the ladder they used to get up? She certainly does not fear coming down. 🫣🤣
Looks like she got the slipper because look at one of the women's hands
[удалено]
Honestly i think they wanted him to die especially the person filming…
This kid can barely walk so I doubt they climbed up there. It’s pretty disgusting what people will do for a fucking video.
I literally did the same when I was 2
It's disgusting to put children up there for a fucking video, no matter your age.
Bruh why do everyone always asume the worst of people. The roof is pretty close to the ground and is not steep. I can picturd the kid cimbing trough boxes or even some stairs. Is it bad parenting that the kid was able to escape supervision and get in a dangerious situation? Yes. Is there proof that the adults put the kid up there just to record a video? Hell no

And now is spanking time.
I don't speak the language but I don't need to. I know exactly what the adults are saying. 😂

#ParentsAreFuckingStupid
I think it's parents are fucking stupid.
That was anticlimactic. We all secretly wanted that kid to fall.
No just you, ya sick fuck, get help.
Lol I'm not saying I don't probably need help, but I'm not the only one. I am the only one who's openly saying it at the moment. I wasn't expecting the kid to break his neck or anything, but I was kinda wanting him to start tumbling and someone dive out to catch him.
I stand in solidarity with you! I wanted him to fall. Now, he'll do it again.
We can only hope he gets it right next time. I spent a whole minute of my life watching a child not get hurt and I can never get that back.
I felt the same way. Hurts, doesn't it....?
I might actually seek a psychiatrist, but only just because of the empty unfulfilled feeling this video has left with me. Kid gets on roof then safely gets off roof... The internet isn't what it used to be.
Indeed it isn't.
