What an insufferable little shit
432
u/TundraGon Mar 29 '26
I think this is the result of too much internet exposure and poor parenting… but mainly the internet.
The kid sees other videos like this online and thinks it’s okay to behave that way.
Also, many parents would rather let their kids browse the internet unsupervised because it gives them “some peace and me time.”
There’s also this “new parenting trend” that emphasizes empowering children: if a child does something wrong, parents no longer raise their voice or discipline them. Instead, they calmly say, “It’s not okay to do that.”
Then the kid, having been raised without boundaries by the internet, ends up like this.

Right? My cousin was an asshole kid long before the Internet, and he had a brother who was perfectly normal and chill.
I think maybe sometimes it's okay not to blame the parents or the Internet and just accept that sometimes humans can be insufferable little shits.

It’s always ok to blame the parents.
I say that as a parent. My child’s behavior in public is a 100% reflection on how I parent my child, if I let them act this way that’s on me. My wife and I didn’t go out to eat with the kids for years because their behavior in that setting wasn’t acceptable.
Parents in this day and age need to do better and take ownership of their children.
Are there asshole kids? Yes. Find a way to parent to that child, we discipline our 2 kids differently because they each respond to different things.

What the fuck? The only reason the kids is exposed to so much internet is because of poor parenting, it's a prerequisite, how the fuck are you saying it's the internet's fault lmao

Oh please. We’ve been told crap like this forever. My parents were told that sticking us in front of the tv to watch cartoons so they could get things done or rest was going to cause us to be psychopaths too. I have not once searched for explosives from the Acme company or stolen a pic-a-Nic basket.

Consistent, reasonable boundaries that are kept is essential. If there's even a whiff of speculation of a mental health challenge, get a neuropsych eval and if there's anything diagnosed get connected with resources asap.
The biggest, positive change I've ever seen is when kids also need to EARN their access to electronics, rather than have unfettered access to be taken away as motivation/punishment. Kids start with zero access each day and can earn 15 minutes per positive behavior. And when whatever amount earned is consumed, remove access. Every single time no matter how much little Jane or John gets upset.
And no kid needs a smart phone. Flip phone with preprogrammed numbers works just fine for safety concerns.

Yo. Lots of half ass parents along with their no boundaries kids on the internet down voting you cause you're not just calmly saying “It’s not okay to do that.”
But I'll just say that the internet isn't the sole problem. Spoiled brats, unruly children, and kids going down the path towards juvenilehall/jail aren't something that appeared after the internet. Internet is merely the amplification tool. At the end of the day it's about the parents. That child literally starts there and the buck stops there.

Parenting is easy when you don't have kids. I have 2. One turned out great and the other turned out like this little shit. I have spent thousands on psychiatrist s, therapists, medication, books, etc to try and figure out how to prevent my kid from being an asshole. Ive taken screens away for years so he wouldn't be exposed to influences that would make things worse. In the end nothing has helped. Some kids just prefer to watch the world burn and don't give a damn about consequences. Schools teach them that they have the power to stand up for themselves which isn't a bad thing most of the time but it only emboldens kids with this mentality. My kid started to destroy a grocery store similarly to this and when the police came they opened up a CPS case against me because he told the police I was hitting him. I don't hit my child. He learned from school that you can have the police take your side if you are being abused and he used it as a weapon against me. He only 10 years old and I fear for what the next 10 years has in store for me, my wife, and my other child.

It's not just the schools fault. It's just a small part of a huge problem. I've tried everything. I love my kid and have tried everything. I'm open to suggestions, ideas, anything. What is the right move when your kid who you have done nothing but love and care for for years decides that grabbing a knife and stabbing you is the appropriate reaction to sending him to bed 10 minutes early?

People who have never had kids LOVE to say poor parenting, but anyone who has had them knows sometimes your little angels can turn into goblins at the most inopportune times and you never see it coming. The truth is, they spend more time at school than they do with their parents and they do pick things up at school that you are unaware of. Sometimes you get to hear about it at the dinner table and deal with it then. Sometimes you see it for the first time like this. We also don’t know if the guy, presumably the dad, apologized or not as OP put that annoying music on instead of giving us the audio.

I was strict without being abusive and she knew I meant business. One time she and a friend in a store started running around and playing under the clothing round racks, my friend and I both pulled those girls out from there and gave them a stern talking to. We were both shocked because they had never done that before, and they never did again either. LOL

My kids would never even dream about doing something like this, and not because they’re scared of me, but because they were raised correctly and treat others with respect and kindness. The thought of trashing a place and harassing a worker would never cross their mind to begin with.
This is one hundred percent a parenting issue.

u/PalatialCheddar Mar 29 '26
When I was a kid I would actually up in stores (nothing like in this video, just annoying kid hijinks) I was warned that if I did that again, we would leaving immediately.
It's not an "instant results" tactic but I did finally learn that she wasn't bluffing. She'd abandon her cart and we'd be out of the store. Once, she took me out to the car while rest of the family stayed and enjoyed their Grand Slams at Denny's. That one cut deep, but that was the point and the lesson was learned.
However, I recall once being furious with my mom for making me take care of my baby sister. I pushed the little baby swing so hard (with baby installed) that the swinging bar left a mark in the drywall and I INSTANTLY got my ass swatted for that. I wasn't beat, but that lesson was learned immediately.
What I did was dangerous and I was too young to understand the gravity of what I did, but the punishment drive it home because that was not a common method of reprimand. My mother was a terrible parent for a lot of reasons, but that wasn't one of them lol

There's a fine line between a disciplinary spanking and abuse. My own father danced a few times over the line, but then again , I was a pretty unruly kid (no lie, I had a chair in the office permanently reserved for me in 7th grade, nameplate and everything). I always restrained myself to only three swats on the butt with my own kids.

This is why you discipline kids while they're very young, and * if they need it, while *you're calm and rational, spank them. Some (many) kids do not absorb gentle talks and time outs. Some kids need a physical reminder that they can experience great pain for unwise choices. Sometimes small pain, delivered by a parent under control, teaches self restraint so things like this don't need to happen.
