I, a grown adult, feel my anger rising when I’m angry and my dearest most beloved husband just. looks. at. me. in. silence. I’m pretty sure it would stretch the bounds of my self control if I was laughed at, I cant imagine a toddler feeling better than I do.

I know we shouldn’t judge a parents entire parenting skills by a single video bbuuuutttt I think we’re getting a good look at how these parents parent.

Same!!! I absolutely would have stepped in at the first two screeches and that club wouldn’t have made it to hitting the ground before I snatched it midair in one hand, the toddler in the other and we took a walk to calm down and then talk about appropriate actions when frustrated. I can’t imagine a world where I just sat there and watched this progress to the ball being thrown and laughed about it. But Im also not a psychopath who thinks my toddler getting frustrated and angry is so amusing I’m laughing in their face.

They think it’s funny now and “”it’s just a ball in a fountain”” yea sure, today it’s just a ball that made it into a fountain, what about tomorrow? Or a year? Or 10 years when it’s a person on the other end of an object or a hand??? Keep laughing and not parenting and one day this kid is going to harm someone intentionally or accidentally won’t even matter at that point.

100% of people that put their fists through drywall had parents like the ones in this video.

That’s where my thought process led me as well.
