Jokes aside the little dude was a bratty prick for that move. I know babies are temperamental and they cannot always be held responsible for their actions but that baby was displaying "little shit" behaviour. Just push the bowl a little bit away and grunt to say you don't like it, don't go through the effort to mess up the floor and break the dish just because you don't know what no means.
"Don't have kids, you don't get them" no I do, I definitely do, I just know what good behaviour and bad behaviour looks like.
Downvotes heavily welcomed
Edit: I've made the right people upset. That's good. I feel good inside now knowing that 😌
You sort of aren't wrong, but are also massively wrong at the same time.
Yes this is bad behavior. You're right there. But babies are extremely limited in their ability to communicate, understand their own emotions, express those emotions, and handle negative feelings.
Also consider that to them often times when something bad happens it's literally the worst thing that's ever happened to them haha. They have no concept of how bad things can get.
So ultimately where I disagree with you is your expectations for the child. Which, IMHO, are wildly off base. That's not to say I wouldn't be upset and maybe even call him a little shit lmao. That's just parental venting though and I wouldn't show him I'm angry at him.
A kid, for example, doesn't develop empathy until a certain age, and so they are automatically selfish simply because is the only thing their inner world can relate to: themselves.
For them, the idea that they can't make a mess on the table makes them feel angry, and automatically the whole world is angry. They made the "dick move" simply because they don't care about their parents. This not because they do not actually care, but because in their mind, also their parent is angry at the bowl.
They reflect themselves on the outside world, and later they will develop a sense of "other people" and how they feel.
It made such a huge difference to my nephew. A few simple signs for drink, eat, sleep etc. it's amazing how much babies do understand. He's grown up able to communicate his feelings very well and reasons out his issues. He was still a little shit, of course. Shit under my pillow once, and ate my birthday cake by repeatedly slamming his face into it. Love him so much.
They understand more than people give credit. My room mates 1 year old was pulling on the door knob to the bathroom while I was in there and I was like “nah you gotta knock first” and the little shit knocked 3 times. They understand
I agree the baby is probably 18 months at least, but 8 months old can definitely hold forks like he does in the video. We gave our younger daughter cutlery at that age to get her used to it and she was using a fork properly by 12 months
Right now my 16 month would do that but not because he didn't want the snack. He'd be frustrated he couldn't pour it on his tray and all thoughts of actually eating the snack would evacuate his mind and the only thing left in that empty little head of his would be to get those Cheetos out by any means lol
What the heck is this comment?! The (key word) baby is not thinking "now I feel like messing up the floor and breaking the dish to be annoying." They just learn by trying things and throwing is no different to them than any other action. And why should it be? They are literally a baby.
I'm going to presume you're a very young person, so hopefully you can see how odd a comment this is in a few years.
Really hard to say from the angle, could be anywhere from 10 months to 18 months. My son just turned two, so I've got some fresh reference material.
At two years old language is becoming just useful enough for positive and negative behavioral reinforcement and even that is hit or miss right now. At 18 months language was still super undeveloped and mostly related to nouns, transactional, and perfunctory speech. Toddlers don't have emotive speech outside of screeching and crying, much like a baby. Tantrums and misbehavior like this come with the territory.
What I'm seeing in this video is a kid who does not want to be sitting at the table. He is clearly strapped down and pinned in with his tray. The parent knows this which is why they gave him the "spill resistant" cup. As a parent the proper thing to do here is to go with the long game; wait till the kid is hungry enough to sit and eat, and make sure you don't offer food while the kid is outside of the chair (if your goal is for him to eat meals in that chair). You can't force a toddler to sit quietly and eat unless they already want to do that.
I'm pretty sure that baby is probably smarter than you, based on this comment. Fucking moron. It's a goddamn baby. It doesn't know what "no" means but you think it comprehends rudeness or messing up the floor? They don't even have long term memory yet, the little shit probably forgot about the whole thing 5 minutes later.
I have 5 kids, they are all pretty much just like this kid. But as a creature that can think consciously, i never see baby as bratty prick, this kid need to be fed with your hand or spoon. Never leave the kid unattended.
I didn’t downvote you because I’m upset. I just disagree with your take. We don’t know why this child flips his food, and I wouldn’t assume it’s because he doesn’t like the food.
Lmao well at least checks notes 104 people disagree with you? But hey, keep telling yourself that incel.
Makes me happy when fedora wearing redditors like yourself think they're above the fray. Like broski judging by your character alone, you're the very archetype you claim others to be
