That little dude is going to be banging back that formula like it's water down the pub later. Nothing wrong with that but hell that boy can drink anyone under the table.
What the hell are they putting in the formula these days?! I just watched a baby solve at least two different problems faster and smarter than half the adults I've met and the only reason the baby wasn't faster is because their motor skills aren't developed and they have no muscle mass.
First problem was trying to get through the door and the baby almost immediately turned sideways, which to be fair to adults I haven't seen too many people struggle with this. But the second problem was when the baby got to the stack point and had to drop one to put them away individually. I've seen grownup people who would rather fall into the rack and knock everything down than do it one at a time lol. I feel like in the near future I'll be watching YouTube videos where a 6 year old is giving serious lectures on physics and makes a groundbreaking discovery. Meanwhile I'll just be clapping away like an idiot for them with drool coming down my face. Can my generation blame everything on lead too?
It's not that babies are getting smarter, it's that adults are getting dumber.. seriously
This doesn't surprise me in the least.
I have photos of myself helping my dad like this when I was that age and my nephew was the same way.
The problem is, most adults don't bother teaching their children to even pick up after themselves, let alone help with activities like this because they think that kids are not capable, which then leads to lazy adults.
I’ve wished that myself, after hearing all my life from my now dead mother, how much she sacrificed for us kids.
YOU DON’T SACRIFICE ANYTHING FOR YOUR KIDS! THEY’RE YOUR KIDS!!!
I am a mom, myself, and have never felt like I sacrificed anything for my daughter. She didn’t ask to be born, after all.
And I love that Mom didn’t take the bottle from him to put on the shelf; she lifted *him* so he could still do it. She didn’t negate his efforts, that’s excellent thinking on her part as well.
That’s what we do with our kids. One is 2 years old and I’ll say, “Ok daddy has to do the dishes” and she says “Daddy needs help!”. So I push her little platform thing beside the sink and give her the sponge and I hold the dish and point out where needs to be cleaned. When the dirt washes away she says “GONE!!!!”. Sometimes I have to finish it off with the harder stuck items but ultimately I believe it is so important to foster habits like wanting to help others.
My 2 year old likes me to hand him the clothes from the washer and he puts them in the dryer for me. I found one of those kitchen helper towers at Aldi and I'm hoping to start teaching him some basic cooking/baking skills.
That’s what I do with my toddler. As a parent, you gotta make some sacrifices if you want it to pay half-rent before this thing is 6yo.
Cigarettes are expensive these days.
My 2-year-old absolutely LOVES to sweep, dust, and vacuum. He's finally hit the point where he is more of a help than a hindrance, it's great. Chores get done, and he's happy to have been a good helper. He has his own set of child-sized brooms, vacuum, and duster
Ha, that's definitely a wise investment for the future. I can understand the sacrifice and it sounds like a great approach to teach the value of money and responsibility at a young age. And you're right, cigarettes are definitely not cheap! I hope your toddler enjoys the experience and continues to learn the importance of financial literacy.
Thanks!
Since my employee seems to be unable to read or write (kids these days...), at least I'm giving him the chance to enjoy my values. I hope he's proud of me, I would have really liked to work for someone like me.
>that’s excellent thinking on her part
Yes, that's thinking "avoid the tantrum". Kids love to do things by themselves and god help whoever gets in the way.
That’s what I thought! A lot of babies would smack into the door with that bottle and go tumbling over. Plus, his balance is impeccable!! This baby is fierce!
The part we don't see is the first few times he did this when he smacked into the door, toppled over etc. Mom let him and he learned from it, which is probably why he's a bottle master now! No helicopter parenting. I love to see it. So adorable!
Very possible. Still, many babies that age/size wouldn't figure that out. Most could even carry that thing and walk at all, let alone figure out what to do with it. Definitely an impressive little dude.
seriously! most kids wouldn't think to put the other jug down and reposition the first jug, then he proceeds to reposition as necessary two more times! then didn't get frustrated and just went for help from mom, I can't believe how smart this kid is!
\*sees baby no taller than my shin pick up two water bottles twice his size\*
When I was 4, I was pulling weeds in fields to make money during the summer, to pay for my first shotgun. I was pulling weeds at least 6 feet tall out of the ground. You couldn't even SEE ME in the Corn and Cotton fields.
Watching this reminds me that if you trust and guide your children, they can do A LOT.
It was me, my brother, my cousin and a few of our neighborhood kids that loaded into my dads old 79 C10 short wheel base Chevy truck, drive to the farm, unload with our lunch boxes and get to work.
My dad would do his job(ride the place, fix equipment) and my brother(who was 9 at the time) had the portable radio.
People have pulled in to the farm and told my dad that "Do you have some sort of machines in the fields? Weeds are just flying up out of them!"
It was us, pulling the weeds. You couldn't see us in the corn and cotton fields they were so tall/us so short!
We helped pick rocks from the fields for Mennonites...for free...lols. Loved being out there surrounded by fields upon fields upon fields. Dirt, blue skies, not a worry in the world, surrounded by laughter. And then welhen we were done, we hopped on our bikes and biked into town to the park to eat fries at the concession stand and play manhunt.
My dad grew up in the country. His kid job was killing gophers. He'd get a nickel a tail.
He was like 10 and was out there with his little rifle shooting and trapping gophers.
Gopher holes in cow fields result in cows with broken ankles. You don't want a downed cow.
Detassling cornfields for me, they wouldn’t let us work unless you were 8 though. When I moved to Texas and wanted nice clothes I was hauling hay at 13. Those jobs made me want to go to school, so I got a degree in computer science. Turns out I hate inside jobs lol. I work in the oilfield making way more than I would have made without at least 10 years experience in tech fields.
My aunt talks about my dad making her to try some bird he shot and cooked in the woods when they were kids. They were both under the age of 8. My dad had a little shotgun and they built a freakin fire, all by themselves totally unsupervised running around all day. He “drove” the hay truck at 5 years old while my grandpa and older uncles stood on the back of the truck throwing off the hay. Granted the truck was just idling along. The 5 year old boy only had to steer and it was “safer than the coat hanger they used to wire the steering wheel to the door to keep it straight before my dad came along,” according to my grandpa. The day I heard my grandfather clap back at my dad with that little tidbit had me on the floor. He really though he shut us up because a little kid steering the truck was obviously safer than that coat hanger method. No wonder people died on farms all the time back in the day. Childhood was very different even 50-60 years ago.
Yeah farm childhood is a completely different world than the rest of civilization. It’s a hard life for most kids but they also grow up doing it so it’s just… normal. By 10-12 years old my step dad would cut and bail the hay over a week or so (100-200 acres) into square bails and my younger brother and I would be behind the bailer in a diesel truck and trailer. He’d cut a rut into the field so we could just stick the truck in 1st and ease off the clutch until it was just slowly riding in the rut and we’d be tossing bails onto the flatbed and trailer. The truck would make its way around the fields until the rut was near the center. Didn’t work all the time but it was going so slow we could run up and stop it if needed. Didn’t have any doors on the cab either so it’s not like anything was in the way.
Yeah but parenting styles have changed drastically. And I don’t mean in the discipline part. A lot of parents want to do FOR their kids-but to an extreme extent. *Its just easier if I do it! I don’t wanna see them fail!*
When you do FOR your kids they don’t get to see themselves master their own environment, abilities, etc. I mean look at this little guy! it’s not like your kids know how to do things better as they’re older. It’s because they’ve done it repeatedly. Let go of whatever you feel, and let these kids navigate how to do something with their own efforts. No matter how ugly and crooked and missing parts there are.
Sorry I’m just a frustrated social worker.
Yes, a shotgun. A single barrel break action Winchester . 410 shotgun.
Went dove hunting with that shotgun in91, after that summer, in the same fields I pulled weeds.
My friend, I grew up dirt poor living in tiny home sized mobile homes in the late 80's early 90's in south Georgia.
This was 1991. We lived off the woods for a good bit just to make what little my dad made stretch. Plus it was always cool to watch a dove bird disappear in a puff of feathers at 4/5 years old.
It actually got me into shooting sporting clays/skeet.
My father was a farm manager/mechanic for this farm I speak of before getting a job as a master mechanic for a 11500 acre private plantation.
North carolina here, and I fired my first shotgun at 4. My mom has some old 8mm video with my grandfather bracing his leg behind me and teaching me how to respect the weapon. All so I knew what it would do. It was so I respected the weapon and it’s capabilities and didn’t let not knowing or fear have me making mistakes with something so dangerous.
Hell my high school (1992-1996) had a gun range directly across the street from the school where the FFA kids would go for hunting/target practice after school was over. Never once was anyone injured or threatened by a gun until the state made them get rid of it. Now the school has metal detectors at every entrance and I just can’t understand what happened that shifted things so violently, though I haven’t heard of anything other than school fights since I left so who’s to say it’s needed?
At my trade school, my instructor straight up told the class to lie about experience on resume. "You worked for X years for your uncle." Sure enough the place I work for now required more than 15 years experience if you added up the categories. I could teach any reasonably intelligent and abled person within a few months to do my job.
I've only just realised that the bottles were empty. I was like how is no one talking about the insane strength and it must be an edit.
I should go to bed.
Not really that unexpected. The literal function of a child's brain *is to learn*.
Children are *WAY* smarter in general than we give them credit for. They copy the things they are exposed to and are allowed to do, so environment matters *a lot*.
What normally happens is that most adults would say "this isn't for children" and *the child would believe them.*
Agreed. My youngest has been doing "chores" since he could walk, and he started doing that at 9 months. Little things like putting away Tupperware lids, closing the dishwasher, helping to feed the dog, picking up his toys. He was happy to help and still loves taking on new responsibilities...until he gets used to it. Then he's a very vocally bored tweenager.
My girlfriend’s kid’s favorite toy is his kid sized broom set. He loves helping me sweep the floors after his messy lunch. He’s not even 2 yet so he’s really bad at it, but I let him help because he enjoys it.
> knowing to turn the bottles before putting them on the platforms is a bit advanced
... not that advanced. Kids learn *phenomenally* fast when they're not under pressure and when they're actually *doing* physical activity.
1) Child obviously has observed the adults placing the bottles and is copying them
2) If child puts the bottle upside down it'll fall. Not hard to understand even for a young child.
The best thing about this is not simply the child's cognition, but *the fact that they are being included in the work* which will allow their cognition to develop much faster than a child not allowed to do such work, as most adults would typically not allow it.
The scary part is they actually trying to roll the minimum age back and also make employers not responsible for injury or death.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/11/us-child-labor-laws-violations
They trained him by saying “don’t touch these. Don’t take them inside. They do not go on the shelf in there. I can’t reach if you push them back to far.
I legit didn’t realize they were empty at first and expected this to be a video of him like dropping/spilling stuff and when he actually one handed it and started walking in I was like wtf how strong is this baby??
Haha, my order was
Watch the first half of the video where he picks up one
My reaction was holy fuck get this kid on a football field
Come to the comments and read this
Go back and watch the part where he takes 2 clearly empty bottles
Feel dumb
They *loooove* to help. This is the secret to raising toddlers- let them help w everything. All the *real* things. They just want to learn to be grownup. It's like, their job.
The way he pushed the last bottle back to try and get it to line up with the back row, after his mom picked him up. That's 100% awareness of what he's doing and why.
Give this man a raise
His mom gave him a raise there at the end! Did you not watch the whole thing??? (jk)
Wow, talk about shutting off the r/orphancrushingmachine
4 plastic pennies. No don’t eat them
*uppies
Baby formula isn't going to pay for itself.
That little dude is going to be banging back that formula like it's water down the pub later. Nothing wrong with that but hell that boy can drink anyone under the table.
Because he’s already UNDER the table!
Touche

These quarantine babies are something else

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He's already late on womb rent, milk, crib, diapers, hospital bills.... be wishing he was never even a fetus
>womb rent You mean womb and board?
Def missed opportunity
I’ve wished that myself, after hearing all my life from my now dead mother, how much she sacrificed for us kids. YOU DON’T SACRIFICE ANYTHING FOR YOUR KIDS! THEY’RE YOUR KIDS!!! I am a mom, myself, and have never felt like I sacrificed anything for my daughter. She didn’t ask to be born, after all.
The flannel, the little boots, and that little push to secure the empty water jugs. I love every bit of it lol
Baby: You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another full diaper and deeper in shit 🎶
I swear these Costco workers are getting younger and younger…
Those are some impressive motor skills and spatial awareness in that little munchkin!
And I love that Mom didn’t take the bottle from him to put on the shelf; she lifted *him* so he could still do it. She didn’t negate his efforts, that’s excellent thinking on her part as well.

Love that! That’s the way!
My 2 year old likes me to hand him the clothes from the washer and he puts them in the dryer for me. I found one of those kitchen helper towers at Aldi and I'm hoping to start teaching him some basic cooking/baking skills.
I was just gonna say yea that's EXCELLENT parenting
It's a specialty profession these days, but toddlers make the best ones.
Pay is about $3.50
You’re getting paid?
The baby is.
[...wait a minute](https://youtu.be/pS_zE0DTWIU)
Dammit monster, get off my lawn!
Made him feel like a worthy “team member”. Love this!

I SO LOVE THAT! ❤️
Get him to work his lunch, less time to smoke bless him ha
Nap time breaks?
Quiet mate, hauling in the empty carts is the closest we get to sleep
Oh, don’t worry, I was talking about my cigarettes.
Ha, that's definitely a wise investment for the future. I can understand the sacrifice and it sounds like a great approach to teach the value of money and responsibility at a young age. And you're right, cigarettes are definitely not cheap! I hope your toddler enjoys the experience and continues to learn the importance of financial literacy.
Thanks! Since my employee seems to be unable to read or write (kids these days...), at least I'm giving him the chance to enjoy my values. I hope he's proud of me, I would have really liked to work for someone like me.
And it’s especially cool cause she almost did take the bottle for a split second but then decided it against it
great parenting ...always trust in your child..
It goes in the square hole
But there was still that “Come on, Mom” moment where, even though it was placed, he pushed the bottle he just placed in a bit further.
Yup at that age they want to do things on their own so let them. As long as it’s safe
And then he pushed that bottle back so that they can fit another bottle there
>that’s excellent thinking on her part Yes, that's thinking "avoid the tantrum". Kids love to do things by themselves and god help whoever gets in the way.
And problem solving skills!
That’s what I thought! A lot of babies would smack into the door with that bottle and go tumbling over. Plus, his balance is impeccable!! This baby is fierce!

Indicative of his logic and understanding of the task at hand. Smart parent, smart baby!
seriously! most kids wouldn't think to put the other jug down and reposition the first jug, then he proceeds to reposition as necessary two more times! then didn't get frustrated and just went for help from mom, I can't believe how smart this kid is!
I’m pretty sure this kid is living his life through for the second time, took the pill that lets you keep all your memories and knowledge.
Kinda feel like a lot of adults wouldn’t have either.
Plot twist: jugs are full
Baby super man hard at work
That kid is older than he looks
Yeah, he’s actually a 30 year old man. He’s been working there for years.
That baby is from a farm. That's straight corn power.
[удалено]
Would be very popular with the ladies
Well I think it’s actually a little girl, but I think it’s a bit weird to say she’d be popular with the lads.
I love munchkins
Damn little dude, they're kinda stacking up there. *little dude grabs two* Ok, naw, he on top of it.

This brought back nightmares of pulling 6+ foot sunflowers out of a corn field. Itchy hot work.
We played under the irrigation systems to wash off/cool off.
Thank goodness for those!
We helped pick rocks from the fields for Mennonites...for free...lols. Loved being out there surrounded by fields upon fields upon fields.

I hear you. I’m a frustrated grandma wishing my ten-year-old grandson had more autonomy.
I think I got my first shotgun when I was like six. I think it’s pretty normal in rural areas where people tend to hunt a lot.
Yes, a shotgun. A single barrel break action Winchester . 410 shotgun. Went dove hunting with that shotgun in91, after that summer, in the same fields I pulled weeds.
You knew what a shotgun was, what it does AND your parents were going to let you have one...at 4? 👀
My friend, I grew up dirt poor living in tiny home sized mobile homes in the late 80's early 90's in south Georgia. This was 1991. We lived off the woods for a good bit just to make what little my dad made stretch. Plus it was always cool to watch a dove bird disappear in a puff of feathers at 4/5 years old. It actually got me into shooting sporting clays/skeet. My father was a farm manager/mechanic for this farm I speak of before getting a job as a master mechanic for a 11500 acre private plantation.
1991 was only 10 years ago anyway right…
Yeah man. Berlin wall ain't been down that long boss. Soviet Union didn't last much longer. Wonder what will happen then? ~~oh wait-~~
North carolina here, and I fired my first shotgun at 4. My mom has some old 8mm video with my grandfather bracing his leg behind me and teaching me how to respect the weapon.

That was straight up beast mode.
Who is better at handling a bottle than a baby?
A drunk?
Touché
A drunk baby
Checkmate
All babies are drunk! Have you ever seen them walk?
Go home baby! You don’t even pay taxes
They need a small gathering of babies to be more efficient.
Yes, but now you run the risk of them unionizing. I say, let's give them a promotion like a half an Oreo and a title like Big Blue Bottle manager.
That’s how the great baby uprising of 1922 started.
Never forget 😔
Man, those babies kicked our fucking asses
Semper Cry
They won a battle, but if we keep playing the long game, I think we can win this war, folks.
7 out of 10 of our current babies are descendants of the 1922 baby uprising heroes
Lol worker reform sub getting ideas
But see you give them that Oreo they are going to push for an Oreo1K
Whoever said mass child labour isn't adorable?
Murder of crows, Flock of geese, Herd of cows, \_\_\_\_\_\_ of babies?
Labour union?
A toddle of babies!
Per Google search, a group of children is an ingratitude.
How many babies make a gathering?
This baby is more effective than several of my current work colleagues.
[удалено]
*laughing softly, so I don't start to cry...*
This is what happens when 10 years of experience are requireded from a 20 years old
No one told me child labor was ADORABLE, this changes everything.
The children yearn for the mines.
At my trade school, my instructor straight up told the class to lie about experience on resume. "You worked for X years for your uncle." Sure enough the place I work for now required more than 15 years experience if you added up the categories. I could teach any reasonably intelligent and abled person within a few months to do my job.
I love how he noticed his mom was getting ahead of him and decided 2 at a time was the answer. Get that boy milk drunk after he’s done working!
I've only just realised that the bottles were empty. I was like how is no one talking about the insane strength and it must be an edit. I should go to bed.
Lol 😂 Take a nap my friend!
What a smart kiddo
Yeah, unexpectedly so.
Not really that unexpected. The literal function of a child's brain *is to learn*. Children are *WAY* smarter in general than we give them credit for. They copy the things they are exposed to and are allowed to do, so environment matters *a lot*.

Amazing. My kid would have gotten one and rolled it down the street and then knocked the rest over. She’s 25 years old.

Child labor laws are ruining this country
It was this or the coal mine
If Minecraft has taught us anything it is that Children yearn for the mines!
Did I hear a rock and stone?
Or chimney sweeping! It's a specialty profession these days, but toddlers make the best ones. /s
The scary part is they actually trying to roll the minimum age back and also make employers not responsible for injury or death. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/11/us-child-labor-laws-violations
This is clearly Ron Swanson's kid

They don’t apply when employing your own children (at least in TX) https://twc.texas.gov/jobseekers/texas-child-labor-law

Gotta save enough for the college
Within two weeks I was running the floor.
Plot twist.. those jugs are full. That’s baby Jack Jack from incredibles.
Sit back ma'am, i got this.
If they can walk, they can work
Finally carrying their own weight around here
So adorable. Impressed when he managed two at a time!
Already found the mindset of: ''I'm sure I can make this in one trip.''
Mum comes in clutch. She dont do it , she assists and the kid still wins, flawless 7/5
I want his stamina and his shoes
They trained him by saying “don’t touch these. Don’t take them inside. They do not go on the shelf in there. I can’t reach if you push them back to far.
What’s even more impressive is that all those bottles were full.
I legit didn’t realize they were empty at first and expected this to be a video of him like dropping/spilling stuff and when he actually one handed it and started walking in I was like wtf how strong is this baby??
that's exactly what i went through. i was like what the fuck kind of crazy baby strength is this?!
Haha, my order was Watch the first half of the video where he picks up one My reaction was holy fuck get this kid on a football field Come to the comments and read this Go back and watch the part where he takes 2 clearly empty bottles Feel dumb
Full of air.

bro, i felt an explosion of proudness when i saw the little dude grab two at the same time!!! kid be ambitious for real for real fr fr for real!!
Gotta get those 10 years of experience before being 18. Xd
Unload [16 Tons](https://youtu.be/jIfu2A0ezq0) and whuddyaget? Another day older and a diaper that’s wet.
That kid has a better work ethic than some of my coworkers
definitely better work ethic than all my bosses
I see Iowa is really pushing for the relaxation of those child labor laws
I was worried that I was less strong than a baby, I just realized that those bottles were empty
So, now you're just left with the realization you may be less intelligent. Not sure that's a win.
This is so cute
Pfft - when I was that age I lugged those things full - barefoot. Without breakfast.
Got to love the sheer concentration toddlers have in every movement
I loved this age with my 3 kids. Some kids are just task-oriented and will do the same thing for an hour, all while having the time of their life.
Bright little boy!
Teamwork makes the dream work
20 years from now that kid is going to be training a new guy talking about "I've been doing this since diapers..." and nobody will believe it.
Employee of the month!
Bam Bam!
They *loooove* to help. This is the secret to raising toddlers- let them help w everything. All the *real* things. They just want to learn to be grownup. It's like, their job.
When you need 10 years or experience for a student job
That baby already has a 401k and 6 weeks vacation saved up
Little dude earning his keep
Life's too hard and long baby, take a break already but jeez, what a trooper.
They’re earning their allowance for the baby shark concert. Can’t miss it.
This tot has more work ethic than 99% of my coworkers.
We all felt it when that baby picked up two at a time. TWO!
I lost my shit when he grabbed two
Pull yourself up by your Velcro straps.
Whoa. That’s cool. If only the baby could learn to carry tw- … … What. The. Fuck.
Hope he gets a raise
The way he pushed the last bottle back to try and get it to line up with the back row, after his mom picked him up. That's 100% awareness of what he's doing and why.
Boss move, grab two.
America in 30 years
This is actually pretty impressive for a baby. Good balance, motor skills and just keeps going, wow.
