Yep. He supposed to put his foot down and sent her on her way.

I get why she mad, lil baby dont know nothing bout chilling. Stimulation is real important for development at that stage.

I don’t understand how people do this, nothing on my screen is more interesting than my kids.

 

[Prodyson]

why do you comment like that
He could get off his azz and actually interact with the baby, not the Ipad.
That's an infant, for godsakes - you don't just leave an infant in a seat like a sack of potatoes

Are you a parent?

It is impossible to spend the entire day “stimulating” your child. Maybe the guy just needed a break from a stressful day. The baby wasn’t crying or agitated, which is a great time for a parent (especially of a toddler) to take a moment to decompress.

This is probably why some women are always super stressed. Thinking something always has to be “done.” Sometimes the best thing to “do”, especially for your mental health, is nothing. Otherwise you’re eventually gonna make life miserable for everyone else around you too... but I guess misery loves company.

The wife is actually right in this case. You need to interact with the child. Sitting on your ipad whilst the baby is awake doing nothing stimulating isn't healthy. And according to the twitter thread, the husband rarely interacts with his child.

This is why we have a nation of zombies where children as young as 3, have their faces buried in their tablets not being able to interact properly.

The problem is the wife came across as nagging. A smart woman would've approach softly "hey hun, I know you're busy but I think it would be great if all of us could do something together before lunch. Is that OK with you? "

A simple request rather than nagging would've been easier.

One thing my baby mother and i understood, is that i'm just not a talker. I respond but i can't just stimulate intellectually out of thin air. So it was her job to talk to the baby, my job was to stimulate the baby's coordination. I do better with the physical activities, i'll teach a baby to dance long before i can teach one to talk.

Dude seems real disinterested. He can go on his ipad when the baby takes a nap or at night.
Take the baby to the park or read to the baby, there's even apps on his Ipad to help him interact with the baby.

do you have kids?

do you have kids?

People think all this stuff is easy until you’re barely getting sleep, working full-time, trying to keep your marriage in tact and trying to make sure your baby, who can’t talk or use the bathroom or feed itself, is taken care of... all for people on the internet to tell you you’re being lazy for taking a break when the baby finally decides to stop crying and screaming it’s head off.

Exactly. It's scary when I see parents who think letting their children sit in front of the TV or on their tablets all day is baby sitting. Doing the bare minimum is not good parenting.

When the child is awake, that's when you read, talk, play with the child. When they're sleeping, that's when parents should have their me time.

You can tell whose children were stimulated at a young age and whose were just left to be raised by technology. There's a reason why there are more children 'diagnosed' with ADHD.

what the fukk are you talking about

Test?????? What fukking test?


I dare a woman to teat me, I'm bushing there and then

 

[Rell84shots]

You gotta make it look cute when you and the baby are chillin and the woman will leave you alone.
I'll let the baby fall asleep on me, while i snooze a little. If she walks in a disturbs that picture she'd have to be particularly cold hearted.

If you do something else besides nap, just let the baby participate and she's usually alright with it too.

but don't feel pressured to make every interaction some educational, teach the baby numbers and letters type stuff.

No one with common sense would do that, this is just an example of women making things harder on themselves. It's like asking for more work at your job, and then complaining about all the work you have to do.

Yes I’m a parent and ok, whatever. I’m never content with not doing, that’s not how I’m built. Everyone has their part to play in parenting. The time to decompress is at night or scheduled times set aside just for the parents to recover. Not just random spurts of time- that baby looked bored is all I’m saying and the father looked disaffected. Don’t know why y’all are personalizing this- the comment wasn’t directed at fathers in here; if it doesn’t apply to you then it doesn’t.

All facts right here. As the parent of a 2 year old, times like that in the video, baby peacefully chilling, not crying, is heaven sent. Who the fukk "stimulates" a baby 24/7? In fact, you can over stimulate a baby the age as one in the op. Ain't nobody with no kids gonna tell me shyt

Then you probably a mother like the one in OP

Do you realize how many hours a day a toddler is awake. It’s not even feasible to actively stimulate your child that much EVERY DAY. Not to mention, there are also things around the house that have to be done. So you’re telling me cooking, cleaning, exercise, work, personal time, etc. all have to be done while the baby is napping or sleeping? Not possible... in this is my experience raising two children. It’s even more difficult when you have more than one.

Let’s also not ignore the fact that those things hanging from that toddler chair the child is “chilling” in are specifically for “stimulating” a child’s mind. That baby could have been developing color and shape recognition right then and there and the mother interrupted it to take a walk.
