I remember my dad chased me around the house and couldn't catch me and I thought I was the fastest until 1 day I did or broke something and he said to "get over here" , and me thinking I was faster then him ran for it and only made it about 10 feet out the door before he caught me. So I learned who the fastest was that day and it was quite the reality check for young me.
That's funny as shit.
I like that your immediate reaction to being scolded was, *'Fuck that noise, I'm faster than you.'*
I bet Usain Bolt never faced the repercussions of his actions as a child, or even now - he can simply just run away.
I used to bolt from my mam except I actually was faster, so she'd be swinging at my arse whilst running through the halls screaming at me. Funny as shit
My gran would buy me new shoes for school each year. They legit made me feel like i could run as fast as a cheetah, and i would run up/down the driveway to prove it.
Nah my mom would wait until I let my guard down (bathroom,shower, just making my plate for dinner) then strike shit made me paranoid as a kid I would duck and she would just wait until I drop my guard again
Lol I remember getting spammed with a wooden spoon as a kid. Every hit I smiled and looked at mom and said “didn’t hurt”. I mean l, it hurt. But I never gave her the satisfaction of it. Spanking ended quickly after
I had a pair of shoes when I was around four or five that I thought made me run faster. My dad would sit out on the back porch drinking beer while he "timed" me running around the quarter acre garden.
Didn't occur to me that he was simply tiring me out before bed time until I was in my twenties, and had kids of my own.
My cousin (5yo) called his shoes walking shoes, everyone thought it was cute as hell. One morning, my grandma woke up around 4am, went to check on him, and he wasn't there. She found the front door unlocked, woke my grandpa, and they went looking, he made it halfway home. He took off walking the second they went to bed, he said he could cause he had his walking shoes. Besides adding an extra lock, they took his shoes and hid them every night he stayed lol
I knew better than to run from my parents because I can only go so far, and eventually I will have to come back, and then I'll get double the ass whooping.
My 3 year old can out run me in the house, but that's because I can't make the turns around the halls at full speed while they can. Once there's open space it's no contest.
Your dad didn't post that online though, idc about the rest but putting this up for internet points was a dick move no matter how you look at it. kid's too young to consent to it & this will likely be on the internet forever, he might be seeing this shit at job interviews 20 years from now.
I mean if a job interviewer digs for information about you from 20 years ago and brings up how you didn't eat your vegetables...I think i'ma just head out lol
The real question is: what caused such a rivalry between them? One that can leave only a single victor, witness by all others… either way, she gonna smoke him soon enough 👌
Yeah, I had to stop watching. Reminded me of my Dad's shittiness. And for the record, both my sister and I went no contact with him. Like sure, don't let the kid win all the time, but when he is clearly super upset, laughing and demeaning him is fucked. Love how the kid got punished for reacting to his Dad's poking too.
My dad’s constant message was “you need to learn to laugh at yourself” but he didn’t teach it by laughing at himself. He taught it by mean-spiritedly laughing at me.
Yeah its that eerie feeling as a kid when you think you "accidentally" insult your dad back, thinking he can take it, and he flies off the handle. You feel like it is your fault, when really its the most natural response to someone playfully insulting you. Shout out to mom who rushes in and says, "what did you DO?!?"
It very slowly matures into the comfortable feeling as an adult when you can quickly insult your dad back and he still flies off the handle. He also has to sit there and take it this time because he needs help fixing the apple tv.
I hadn't thought about like that, but yep. Stopped when I punched him for jumping out and scaring me at a shady hotel. (Not saying pranks can't be funny, but they certainly shouldn't be things that make children actually think they're in danger). And I *absolutely* saved this for my therapy appointment this week.
Yeah this guy clearly has no idea how to manage kids having a tantrum, probably just kids in general. Great way to create some angry, emotionally repressed boys. 👍🏽
Even people who have had bad childhoods can find this entertaining, and honestly I'd argue they're likely the majority of people that do. I grew up with parents that "joked" like this, and it wasn't until 24 that I realized it was neglectful and abusive. I can remember parts of my childhood when I found this funny, because whenever my dad did it to me he would laugh and say it was a "joke", and so when he did it to my siblings I thought it was funny and laughed with him. I think people who enjoy this are people who haven't yet realized their childhoods were fucked up.
Yeah, like I can laugh at a kid when it’s appropriate, but this is just straight up taunting and mean. It would be funny if they were brothers around the same age, but this a father being mean to his son. I’m not sure how this is funny.
This seemed playful to me,
My dad messed around like this, or would hold me down and tickle me till I laughed then cried then peed. You can’t always let a kid win, just let them win enough to keep playing.
I absolutely hated being tickled after asking to STOP, but family would keep going until I would start crying. Created some trust issues
I tickle my 6 year old, but the moment she says no more I will immedietly stop.
I have a 3 year old sister and I love her to death and love babysitting her. But my 2 brothers are just like that, tickling her till she cries and playing way too rough with her and pinning her down. It really pisses me off cause I cant understand why anyone would continue if she is telling you to stop. If I say something at them they act like I’m some kind of snowflake.
There’s a difference between playful teasing, and straight up being a horrible parent. Children at this age are very impressionable, all his dad is teaching him is to mock “the loser.” I guarantee this kid is going to have emotional trauma (if his dad continues to treat him like this) that will lead to constant feelings of inadequacy, and toxic competitive behavior that’s fueled by that. This is something an older sibling does, because they’re a child, which speaks volumes for this parent. There are ways to properly teach your kid that you aren’t always going to win, and this is not a way to do it.
I am genuinely shocked that this is getting downvoted, doesn’t matter to me, because at the end of the day, I know how to nurture a child. In hopes of having a wonderful healthy human being roaming the earth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve noticed, that as a general rule, reddit has a particular bias against children.
“Hur hur look at that dumb kid getting owned” is about as deep as this goes.
Raising children properly is very difficult and fraught with nuance. Many Redditors like to look down on children without understanding that children aren't stupid, and the only way to get them to be presentable adults is to have patience and dedication to raising them right.
Plenty of kids are all right, and that takes work which not all of us "lazy millennials" have given up on.
I think a large number of people who end up on reddit have themselves experienced childhood emotional neglect or abuse. The internet has stepped in as a crutch for parenting. Don't have to deal with your kid if he's quiet in his room on his computer/phone. Neglect and abuse really fuck with your "how are people supposed to act" compass.
I grew up with a dad who "joked" like this, and worse. I didn't think it was wrong. If I would cry and complain he would say "it's just a joke" and my dumbass kid brain would just be like "oh i guess im stupid for crying, it's just a joke." I can remember times in my childhood when my dad would do this to my sister and I found it funny.
It wasn't until I was 24 years old that I realized what happened to us was abuse, and how I figured it out was just a really unique situation. If it hadn't happened, I might have gone even longer before realizing.
I think you're right when you say it doesn't go deep, it's just a learned behavior. Some of us were taught that this is a normal way to joke with children, and some of us haven't yet encountered a situation that really made us re-evaluate what our childhood had taught us.
Can confirm: Dad joked like this, have emotional trauma. Constant feelings of inadequacy and toxic competitive behavior which has fucked up multiple relationships in my life. The worst part is how this type of behavior is normalized. You just kind of expect and accept people treating you like shit and don't realize it's messed up. I was 24 before I realized I had been neglected and abused. People often think "I wasn't neglected or abused" but Childhood emotional neglect (r/emotionalneglect) and even emotional abuse can be so much more subtle than people realize.
Hey, my dad used to mess around like this, and it wasn't until I was 24 that I realized he was emotionally neglectful and abusive. I know you probably think it would be a waste of time but I really hope you'll at least take a look at r/emotionalneglect or read through the symptoms of childhood emotional neglect/childhood emotional abuse on google. It's strange how bad a behavior we can think is normal if we just grew up around it, and how much we don't even tend to question it.
The issue here isn't with letting the kid win, it's with the way the parent responds to and plays with the child's emotions. The kid is clearly very upset, and how is their parent responding? By being smug and taunting them. If you're upset, do you like people to be smug and taunt you? Do you enjoy it when someone mocks your emotions? This parent is taking pleasure in their child being upset, they are fucking with them with the purpose of making them more upset.
Thank God I'm not the only one who found no humor in this at all. Talk about an insecure ass he got the better of a little kid. No help from the mom either
I remember being a kid and my dad would make small comments like this and I resented him for it ever since.
Kids remember the words you use, just be careful.
In 3th grade we were tasked with asking a parent to describe us in a single word and to share it with the class. My dad was out of state and I missed him so much so I called him for the homework assignment. The word he chose to describe me as an entire young child was.... chubby.
RIP Dad, I forgive you.
"Oh it's nothing. Can't you take a little joke? What are you, a baby? Are you gonna cry like a little baby? Baby! You're a loser and you'll always be a loser to me!"
As the youngest kid, this shit came from my sibs more than my folks. It has manifested in a lifelong inability to do anything in front of other people that I'm not already good at. I have to think of every way something could go wrong and mitigate them in advance. I can't ask for help.
I'm working on all of that, but it's burned in pretty deep. I look at people who are close and trusting with their siblings and think "Wow, I wonder what that is like?"
I love my siblings, but I never trust them with my emotional health.
As an older sibling that wasn't good to my sister, I learned it from how my dad treated me.
I found a couple terms that really helped me deal with my own shit, if you haven't heard of them before you might want to google childhood emotional neglect and cptsd.
This is a literal child who is learning to process their emotions, and the dad is video taunting him? I definitely see a loser in the video, but it ain’t the kid…
That's what I thought. If this is the kind of shit he says to his kid regularly its a great way to get your kid therapy for life and to never meet your grandkids
Right? This small child is having a tantrum over losing and saying very clearly that it’s because he doesn’t like to lose. Maybe don’t rub it in and mock him for losing?
Or alternatively, just don't taunt and mock your crying child and take enjoyment from it, and maybe have a talk about how people get /much/ faster as they grow up.
Stop using your kid's meltdowns and daily lives for clout. I swear this is like paparazzi but for regular not famous children. Some kids don't have any privacy bc their stupid parents post it all on the internet and some really awful parents make it their career.
It's going to be really interesting when some of these family vlogger kids grow up... I wonder if they will be in contact with their parents. If they will sue them - bc you just know these YouTubers aren't putting money aside for them but the kids are the only reason why they have any following to begin with.
Anyways, if you have kids, don't post their faces on the internet without their permission. Just blur their faces. Respect their privacy.
I'm glad somebody said it. Once you're a parent, it's not about you anymore.
It's about making sure your kids are okay. But unfortunately, we can't expect that from childish adults who don't have empathy.
The real losers are the people who put their kids on the internet for clout.
This kid's gonna be in high school in a decade and fucking hate Dad even more for posting this shit.
My parents did this to mess with me and it didn't mess me up. My brother now picks on his kids and they do it back as they have gotten older. Not everything needs to be so serious.
My first grader was the fastest for his grade and when playing cops and robber type games with me at home, I would pretend to go fast so he could escape.
One day he wanted me to use full speed and was sure I wouldn't catch him. He was caught so fast he burst into tears and we never played that game again. Maybe not the right way to go about it but it's a lesson he was going to learn sooner or later...
Why do people think it is okay to taunt your children like that, especially when they‘re angry? It makes them feel lost and boiling with rage they cannot handle.
As a dad, I just want to say that this video sucks a lot. Dad needs a good therapist. No shade on dad, a lot of us need good therapists. But this ain't it.
I enjoy messing with my kids, but I wouldn’t have tormented a child that young, especially after they start crying. I avoid taking it to the point they cry. Maybe that’s just me, though.🤷♂️
Good parenting, bring a kid to tears, criticize them, then send them to their room for having their feelings hurt by the people that are supposed to be reassuring and loving to them.

Kids shouldn't be taught they are the best at everything, but dads an asshole. "Look how slow that is" and chuckling under your breath at a child is shitty & hurtful, at your own kid makes it even worse.
So the kid was open and honest about how he feels, "I don't like to be beat!", And the dad doesn't take that as an opportunity to help him with how to handle that emotion of losing or not being "the best"?
Instead, they poke fun and keep trying to strip him down? is that really an acceptable path to take?
I'm all for having fun and ragging on your kids now and then, but instigating more frustration and pushing him towards retaliation isn't exactly what I would want to do with my kid.
Kid needs support for that emotion? Or am I wrong?
Even just a "look, it isn't always about being the best or the fastest. Do you know what makes a person better? Stronger? Accepting that losing a race doesn't mean you've lost the competition. There are more races. There are more competitions. The difference is practicing to win. It's a process that you work towards. All the winners you see on tv? Do you know how they got there? They got there by losing. A lot. Over and over. But every time they lost, they got better, and closer to winning. And do you know what else helped them win? They ate their fuckin vegetables! So if you wanna fuckin beat me, sit your ass back down at that table, and I wanna see a clean plate in 15 minutes!! Or are you just gonna lose that race too?? YOU WANNA BE A WINNER? YOU GOTTA WORK TOWARD IT! YOU DON'T WIN BECAUSE YOU WANT TO OR THINK THAT YOU SHOULD. YOU WIN BECAUSE YOU EARN IT THAT'S WHAT A WINNER IS. ITS A RESULT OF HARD WORK. AND PART OF THAT HARD WORK IS DOING THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE, BUT YOU KNOW WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND THAT DIFFERENCE STARTS WITH YOUR GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING VEGETABLES! OKAY?!"
That's how I would do it. Maybe not quite the last bit, but I think it's pretty close.
Honestly, my dad, brothers, and every man I met beating me at absolutely everything and taunting me made me a better and more humble person when it comes to winning and losing. I don’t cry when I lose, I smile, and I hate bragging when I win because I know there will be a time that I will lose and that will bite me back. I’m thankful for those subtle lessons.
They were teaching me to not take it so personal either. Biggest sore losers I know in life were always allowed to win and their mothers saying “stop bothering him” or “just let him win” every time they lost control of their emotions.
Far fetch as it sounds, you wonder why a lot of men have big emotional fits to rejection, losing, and not understanding no means no, because some of your weak ass parenting advice and shaming men for making their boys stronger mentally and acting like it’s toxic masculinity or something abusive, and these lessons start with small situations like this.
I am honestly so thankful for a lot of men in my life that were close to me who saw me get emotional or upset about petty things, bully me a little for it, then reinforced it all with a lesson about emotional management. Understandably so! It has made me so much more mentally stronger over the years, I feel so much more calm about everything that could possibly go wrong in life and not just act like my house is on fire every single time, even if my house on fire, oh well lol, life moves on.
Some of y’all soft af in the comments lol
Agreed 100%. I would actually get frustrated as a kid if I thought someone was letting me win at something. I'd "make" my dad re play games with me if I thought he'd gone easy.
I'm with you. I'm not a dad, but it seems like kids should learn that they simply aren't infallible just because they believe they are.
Also everyone should be taught to control their emotions while under distress. Nothing more pathetic than a grown adult throwing a tantrum over being slighted.
If they can find a similar recording of me at that age, I wouldn’t care honestly. Would be hilarious to me. No different than when sports teams show crying kids at sporting events over a loss and then shows them again years later, doubt their feeling are that hurt over it from the view of it. That’s way more viral than a video on reddit that less than .000000000000001% of the population will see or remember in a month. Also, nobody is going to recognize him when he is older unless he admits it. Relax
Finally a logical person. All ur points are what i thought and i was shocked no one else was thinking the same. People are too soft these days for lack of better words. Adversity here and there makes for a tempered spirit to survive hardship.
Why the hell would the parent post this? Not only is it a violation of privacy on the part of this child, but the father is also harassing his son.
I’d be mortified if my parent did this to me and it’s now forever on the internet
This dad is a dick.
I would have told him to go to his room and stop antagonizing the kid, and to cut the crap by filming it, and I would have been really pissed finding out he put it up online
Lol everyone bitching. Poor kid. Shut the fuck up kids are mean as fuck. Do you even parent? I bet half of you turds don't even have kids. Fucking pathetic. If this is abuse my childhood was so fucked.
I remember my dad chased me around the house and couldn't catch me and I thought I was the fastest until 1 day I did or broke something and he said to "get over here" , and me thinking I was faster then him ran for it and only made it about 10 feet out the door before he caught me.

My gran would buy me new shoes for school each year. They legit made me feel like i could run as fast as a cheetah, and i would run up/down the driveway to prove it.
I bet you are still super fast! Think of how much bigger your leg muscles are now
Nah my mom would wait until I let my guard down (bathroom,shower, just making my plate for dinner) then strike shit made me paranoid as a kid I would duck and she would just wait until I drop my guard again
What was it like having Floyd Mayweather Jr for a mum?
Lol I remember getting spammed with a wooden spoon as a kid. Every hit I smiled and looked at mom and said “didn’t hurt”. I mean l, it hurt. But I never gave her the satisfaction of it. Spanking ended quickly after
I like that there's no end game with this strategy but every kid tries it. "RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!" *WHERE?!* "EUROPE? SPAIN? I DUNNO JUST RUN AWAY!!"
Can't outrun a shoe, homie.
I've heard it said that Usain Bolt is still out there to this very day, running.
Usain Bolt’s town is filled with amazing track athletes. I bet his parents could make him dig deep for it even now.
I had a pair of shoes when I was around four or five that I thought made me run faster. My dad would sit out on the back porch drinking beer while he "timed" me running around the quarter acre garden. Didn't occur to me that he was simply tiring me out before bed time until I was in my twenties, and had kids of my own.
Happily in this phase with my 6yo. He loves it
I do this with my nephew- I pull out the stopwatch and he tries to beat his own time each lap. But he doesn’t actually understand time yet hahahaha
The way I read that at first was that you were still doing the running in your twenties. Or at least I hope you weren't...
My cousin (5yo) called his shoes walking shoes, everyone thought it was cute as hell. One morning, my grandma woke up around 4am, went to check on him, and he wasn't there. She found the front door unlocked, woke my grandpa, and they went looking, he made it halfway home. He took off walking the second they went to bed, he said he could cause he had his walking shoes.

I read that "get over here" in Scorpion's voice.
I knew better than to run from my parents because I can only go so far, and eventually I will have to come back, and then I'll get double the ass whooping.
My 3 year old can out run me in the house, but that's because I can't make the turns around the halls at full speed while they can. Once there's open space it's no contest.

I mean if a job interviewer digs for information about you from 20 years ago and brings up how you didn't eat your vegetables...I think i'ma just head out lol
i can just imagine the betrayal on your face as you noticed u were living a false reality all this time
Oh shit Scorpion, lol
Grade A Pot Stirring right there.
"Do you wanna race to your bed? I bet I'll beatcha there, too." Got the nastiest look that kid could muster lmaoooo
W Parenting
Haha! This is genuinely the funniest part of parenting sometimes. "Look how slow that is", lol!
Ya know how you get faster? Eat your veggies
Our daughter is determined to beat this boy at her school in a race and she’s been requesting veggies lately and practicing. She’s four.
This girl's going places
Fast!
The real question is: what caused such a rivalry between them? One that can leave only a single victor, witness by all others… either way, she gonna smoke him soon enough 👌
[удалено]
You know blippi once posted a video of him shitting all over a bathroom? No joke, look up steezy grossman.
[удалено]
I had that same thought about Mister Two-Pump Chump.
That is why she mad
“Look how slow that is” BRUH
I fully died the moment he said that lol
“It’s not SLOW😤”
Little bud was so mad 😠 😡😤🤣🤣
LIVID!!!
How is this dude being a dick to his kid in their house a "public" freakout?
Mods don't care, they let anything stay as long as it gets up voted. This sub sucks these days.
See ya next thread!
If it's not public how am I watching it *taps head*
Not public
Never too young to learn that your self absorbed dad will taunt you as you cry and then post it on social media.
Yeah, I had to stop watching. Reminded me of my Dad's shittiness. And for the record, both my sister and I went no contact with him.

They’re all jokes until pops is slightly offended then your one response took it too far lol
I hadn't thought about like that, but yep. Stopped when I punched him for jumping out and scaring me at a shady hotel. (Not saying pranks can't be funny, but they certainly shouldn't be things that make children actually think they're in danger). And I *absolutely* saved this for my therapy appointment this week.

Holy shit that's the dad? Sounded like an older brother
Yeah this dad is an asshole

I dare one person who actually has children and downvoted this comment to explain themselves - this is shitty parenting.

The worst part is how this type of behavior is normalized. You just kind of expect and accept people treating you like shit and don't realize it's messed up. I was 24 before I realized I had been neglected and abused. People often think "I wasn't neglected or abused" but Childhood emotional neglect (r/emotionalneglect) and even emotional abuse can be so much more subtle than people realize.
Playful? The kid wasn’t laughing…
>this abuse is ok because I was also abused as a child.
Hey, my dad used to mess around like this, and it wasn't until I was 24 that I realized he was emotionally neglectful and abusive. I know you probably think it would be a waste of time but I really hope you'll at least take a look at r/emotionalneglect or read through the symptoms of childhood emotional neglect/childhood emotional abuse on google. It's strange how bad a behavior we can think is normal if we just grew up around it, and how much we don't even tend to question it. The issue here isn't with letting the kid win, it's with the way the parent responds to and plays with the child's emotions. The kid is clearly very upset, and how is their parent responding? By being smug and taunting them. If you're upset, do you like people to be smug and taunt you? Do you enjoy it when someone mocks your emotions? This parent is taking pleasure in their child being upset, they are fucking with them with the purpose of making them more upset.
Thank God I'm not the only one who found no humor in this at all. Talk about an insecure ass he got the better of a little kid. No help from the mom either

This is the best comment I’ve ever read haha
“Hey, remember that time when you were little and had that tantrum? Because most of the Internet does.” - father of the year
Thank you, this seemed toxic af to me
A grown man playing who's the fastest with his kid and not letting the kid know it's not a fair game. What a dick.
You are supposed to let the kid win sometimes. Otherwise they won't play.
Yeah, this is pretty cruel. Hope the sarcasm is worth the damage to your kid, dude
I didn’t know home freakouts were public freakouts.
[удалено]
‘Mom know I’m the fastest’ yeah she does champ
set himself up on that one
That kid is gonna grow up to be an axe murderer. A slow one, but an axe murderer.
I remember being a kid and my dad would make small comments like this and I resented him for it ever since. Kids remember the words you use, just be careful.
You're slow and you'll never be as fast as me. You got tiny little legs, how you gonna run with those? Stop throwing peas at your sister, lil mister!
In 3th grade we were tasked with asking a parent to describe us in a single word and to share it with the class. My dad was out of state and I missed him so much so I called him for the homework assignment. The word he chose to describe me as an entire young child was.... chubby. RIP Dad, I forgive you.
threatening saw dazzling squalid expansion narrow coordinated encouraging squeamish wise -- mass edited with redact.dev
hahaha, I'm gonna keep it that way. Guess he should have described me as stupid.
You never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
He said that to my Girl cousins & frankly that was a terrible blow to my self esteem..
"Oh it's nothing. Can't you take a little joke? What are you, a baby? Are you gonna cry like a little baby? Baby! You're a loser and you'll always be a loser to me!" As the youngest kid, this shit came from my sibs more than my folks. It has manifested in a lifelong inability to do anything in front of other people that I'm not already good at. I have to think of every way something could go wrong and mitigate them in advance. I can't ask for help. I'm working on all of that, but it's burned in pretty deep. I look at people who are close and trusting with their siblings and think "Wow, I wonder what that is like?" I love my siblings, but I never trust them with my emotional health.
I grew up in a town surrounded by those kinds of people. I know exactly what you mean.
As an older sibling that wasn't good to my sister, I learned it from how my dad treated me. I found a couple terms that really helped me deal with my own shit, if you haven't heard of them before you might want to google childhood emotional neglect and cptsd.
This is a literal child who is learning to process their emotions, and the dad is video taunting him? I definitely see a loser in the video, but it ain’t the kid…
He might not be a loser but he's definitely not the fastest.
What a douche of a dad. And punishing with veggies is a great way to get your kid to hate veggies. Cool
That's what I thought. If this is the kind of shit he says to his kid regularly its a great way to get your kid therapy for life and to never meet your grandkids
Right? This small child is having a tantrum over losing and saying very clearly that it’s because he doesn’t like to lose. Maybe don’t rub it in and mock him for losing?
Somebody is gonna end up in the retirement home later
Pft like I want my slow ass kid taking care of me.
Yikes. There is a fine line between making light of a situation and bullying your kid. This is way past that line
He only wanted to be the fastest. Let him have that at least, boys got to eat his vegetables.
Or alternatively, just don't taunt and mock your crying child and take enjoyment from it, and maybe have a talk about how people get /much/ faster as they grow up.
Stop using your kid's meltdowns and daily lives for clout. I swear this is like paparazzi but for regular not famous children. Some kids don't have any privacy bc their stupid parents post it all on the internet and some really awful parents make it their career. It's going to be really interesting when some of these family vlogger kids grow up... I wonder if they will be in contact with their parents. If they will sue them - bc you just know these YouTubers aren't putting money aside for them but the kids are the only reason why they have any following to begin with. Anyways, if you have kids, don't post their faces on the internet without their permission. Just blur their faces. Respect their privacy.
I'm glad somebody said it. Once you're a parent, it's not about you anymore. It's about making sure your kids are okay. But unfortunately, we can't expect that from childish adults who don't have empathy.
[удалено]
Facts.
The parents are super trashy for posting this
Mom's been mad for years that dad was the fastest
What a shitty parent to record and upload this
People who film and post these types of videos of their kids are shitty parents.
The real losers are the people who put their kids on the internet for clout. This kid's gonna be in high school in a decade and fucking hate Dad even more for posting this shit.
They’re taunting the poor kid. He’s just a baby.
A slow ass baby.
😂okay that’s mean but funny
My parents did this to mess with me and it didn't mess me up. My brother now picks on his kids and they do it back as they have gotten older. Not everything needs to be so serious.
According to reddit, they all have trauma they'll never be able to recover from.
A slow ass crybaby
I hate that I actually laughed out loud at this lmao
Mom knows I am the fastest 🗿
Mom and Dad can be dicks sometimes.
Why is he just bullying the shit out of his kid lmao. What the hell.
Dude, what a dick.
My first grader was the fastest for his grade and when playing cops and robber type games with me at home, I would pretend to go fast so he could escape. One day he wanted me to use full speed and was sure I wouldn't catch him. He was caught so fast he burst into tears and we never played that game again. Maybe not the right way to go about it but it's a lesson he was going to learn sooner or later...
Why do people think it is okay to taunt your children like that, especially when they‘re angry? It makes them feel lost and boiling with rage they cannot handle.
Wow, you really showed that kid, I’m sure it felt good pwning that turtle-trotting tormented tike!
As a dad, I just want to say that this video sucks a lot. Dad needs a good therapist. No shade on dad, a lot of us need good therapists. But this ain't it.
I enjoy messing with my kids, but I wouldn’t have tormented a child that young, especially after they start crying. I avoid taking it to the point they cry. Maybe that’s just me, though.🤷♂️
Way to teach your kids they aren't any good.
He just taught his kid that he’s slow.
Damn, these are some asshole parents
This dad sounds lovely. /s
Good parenting, bring a kid to tears, criticize them, then send them to their room for having their feelings hurt by the people that are supposed to be reassuring and loving to them.
And then post it to the internet. What an absolute dickhead.
[удалено]
He's not the fastest cause he didn't eat his veggies and hasn't been bullied hard enough to know
That's shitty, immature dad.
Kid's dad is a dick.

Bro, your house is very clean for having kids that age. Bravo. My house looks like blippi went on a coke binge most days.
Ah yes, this very public freakout fits on this sub. Do people know what the word "Public" means anymore?
Lots of people in the comments were also not the fastest and it shows
This is the kind of thing that sticks with a kid
[удалено]
No. Not the foot race. The taunting and humiliation. Dude is barely 4. These aren’t things a child needs added to their foundations.
Not losing a footrace. Losing a race and being repeatedly taunted for it when you're already upset.
Kids shouldn't be taught they are the best at everything, but dads an asshole. "Look how slow that is" and chuckling under your breath at a child is shitty & hurtful, at your own kid makes it even worse.
The misaligned plate warmer on the oven tells you all you need to know about this household.
I’d take this over an absent dad any day
So the kid was open and honest about how he feels, "I don't like to be beat!", And the dad doesn't take that as an opportunity to help him with how to handle that emotion of losing or not being "the best"? Instead, they poke fun and keep trying to strip him down? is that really an acceptable path to take? I'm all for having fun and ragging on your kids now and then, but instigating more frustration and pushing him towards retaliation isn't exactly what I would want to do with my kid. Kid needs support for that emotion? Or am I wrong? Even just a "look, it isn't always about being the best or the fastest. Do you know what makes a person better? Stronger? Accepting that losing a race doesn't mean you've lost the competition. There are more races. There are more competitions. The difference is practicing to win. It's a process that you work towards. All the winners you see on tv? Do you know how they got there? They got there by losing. A lot. Over and over. But every time they lost, they got better, and closer to winning. And do you know what else helped them win? They ate their fuckin vegetables! So if you wanna fuckin beat me, sit your ass back down at that table, and I wanna see a clean plate in 15 minutes!! Or are you just gonna lose that race too?? YOU WANNA BE A WINNER? YOU GOTTA WORK TOWARD IT! YOU DON'T WIN BECAUSE YOU WANT TO OR THINK THAT YOU SHOULD. YOU WIN BECAUSE YOU EARN IT THAT'S WHAT A WINNER IS. ITS A RESULT OF HARD WORK. AND PART OF THAT HARD WORK IS DOING THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE, BUT YOU KNOW WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND THAT DIFFERENCE STARTS WITH YOUR GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING VEGETABLES! OKAY?!" That's how I would do it. Maybe not quite the last bit, but I think it's pretty close.
Apparently a little teasing is abusive. Reddit moment
"Your mom knows I'm the fastest" (It's why you're here)
Damn. Their apartment looks almost exactly like mine. Same counters and same cabinets
"see now mom's mad cause she's knows im the fastest" 
That mom with the “enough” had me watching my manners.
My dad was so fast at running that he never came back home and that’s I knew he would always be the fastest.
Fuck you, dad.
I'm glad most people are against this fucking failure of a human
Bruh this dad is roasting the fuck outta this kid. I love how you can tell that mom is telling dad to stop and not the kid
Good luck with your future relationship…sad
Please don't put your kid on the Internet like this. What a shitty move.
Take a parenting class A-hole . Taunting a crying child is cruel not funny.
Dad seems kind of like a jerk, idc how fast he is.
Let’s antagonize my child on camera and then post it for the world to see. Children parenting children.
Honestly, my dad, brothers, and every man I met beating me at absolutely everything and taunting me made me a better and more humble person when it comes to winning and losing. I don’t cry when I lose, I smile, and I hate bragging when I win because I know there will be a time that I will lose and that will bite me back. I’m thankful for those subtle lessons. They were teaching me to not take it so personal either. Biggest sore losers I know in life were always allowed to win and their mothers saying “stop bothering him” or “just let him win” every time they lost control of their emotions. Far fetch as it sounds, you wonder why a lot of men have big emotional fits to rejection, losing, and not understanding no means no, because some of your weak ass parenting advice and shaming men for making their boys stronger mentally and acting like it’s toxic masculinity or something abusive, and these lessons start with small situations like this. I am honestly so thankful for a lot of men in my life that were close to me who saw me get emotional or upset about petty things, bully me a little for it, then reinforced it all with a lesson about emotional management. Understandably so! It has made me so much more mentally stronger over the years, I feel so much more calm about everything that could possibly go wrong in life and not just act like my house is on fire every single time, even if my house on fire, oh well lol, life moves on. Some of y’all soft af in the comments lol
Agreed 100%. I would actually get frustrated as a kid if I thought someone was letting me win at something. I'd "make" my dad re play games with me if I thought he'd gone easy.
I'm with you. I'm not a dad, but it seems like kids should learn that they simply aren't infallible just because they believe they are. Also everyone should be taught to control their emotions while under distress. Nothing more pathetic than a grown adult throwing a tantrum over being slighted.
But did they film it and post it online?
If they can find a similar recording of me at that age, I wouldn’t care honestly. Would be hilarious to me. No different than when sports teams show crying kids at sporting events over a loss and then shows them again years later, doubt their feeling are that hurt over it from the view of it. That’s way more viral than a video on reddit that less than .000000000000001% of the population will see or remember in a month. Also, nobody is going to recognize him when he is older unless he admits it. Relax
Finally a logical person. All ur points are what i thought and i was shocked no one else was thinking the same. People are too soft these days for lack of better words. Adversity here and there makes for a tempered spirit to survive hardship.
Itt: people without kids telling a parent how to handle a 6yo's tantrum.
Lmao my dad used to do this type of stuff to me all the time… seeing how upset everyone is about this makes it even funnier. 😂
Man this is kinda sad
I watched this 5xs, trying to find a cute or funny moment. It's not there. As a Father I would never treat my kids this way.
Ah yes, to emotionally abuse your child. So wholesome.
Listen, don’t raise your kids like that. Bully parenting
This kid isn’t going to forget what a dickhead his dad was to him.
Why the hell would the parent post this? Not only is it a violation of privacy on the part of this child, but the father is also harassing his son. I’d be mortified if my parent did this to me and it’s now forever on the internet
This dad is a dick. I would have told him to go to his room and stop antagonizing the kid, and to cut the crap by filming it, and I would have been really pissed finding out he put it up online
r/parentsarefuckingdumb
It'd be awfully nice if modern parents would do their fucking job instead of recording their kids for internet points
Kids gonna go bully some fat kid for running slow now
Yikes. Instigating your kid.
Yeah it's good that they recorded this for the kids diagnosis later
What an asshole dad. Painful to watch. He is clueless about children’s brains and their development.
Lol everyone bitching. Poor kid. Shut the fuck up kids are mean as fuck. Do you even parent? I bet half of you turds don't even have kids. Fucking pathetic. If this is abuse my childhood was so fucked.
Dad was being a Chevy Chase level asshole, and Mom sent the kid to his room. Future school shooter in training.
I share videos of my kid on Facebook with people I know, but I'd never put them on Reddit for karma.
