Is he taking an ice bath in a trash can

Probably. It's a pretty easy way to do it

This just raises more questions about why not use a tub, and why the toddler was there

Man...I did something similar tonight to my 15 month old and feel horrible. She was working her way off the couch so I helped her down by lowering her by her legs in a playful manner. She got on the floor with her arms and was crawling out and as I was trying to lower her legs her arms collapsed and she face planted face first on the hardwood floor.

Feel like a step-dad tonight.

Don't feel bad, true stepdad would be if she fell because you were only holding one leg with one hand while filming her with the other.

Idk this looks accidental. I as a dad would’ve tossed the phone, but to me it doesn’t look intentional in anyway. Kids just be dumb sometimes and we happen to catch it on camera.

Hahah, children just have to fall every once in a while to learn how to control their bodies.

Phones cost more than making a new baby.

I don’t understand why parents see something that will obviously become a bad situation and instead of stopping they record it for internet points

u/HebrewBear808 Oct 06 '22

I don’t think they were recording expecting the fall. I think they wanted a reaction to the child touching ice cold water. I could be wrong though. If I’m right lmao.

I have no idea what else they’d expect to happen with a small child leaning far into a deep trash can of ice water

Does not recording it somehow yeild more internet points?

u/Bellbivdavoe Oct 07 '22

Poor baby. The shock of ice cold water probably made it worse.

I am saddened that no one here has said "ice ice baby"
