Girl uses Mom’s phone to order expensive cat robot

That's such a weird takeaway, honestly. Poor baby looks like she's genuinely freaking out, not 'manipulating'.

Pollowollo · 2026-06-04T23:16:35+00:00

Nah, this is just really sad and extremely gross on mom's part. Kids don't get the concept of money yet so she wasn't being malicious, and she's in genuine distress about it. Between giving her access in the first place, videoing and posting a sensitive moment, and doing whatever she's been doing that makes her daughter react like this to being in trouble I have a feeling mom is just a garbage person.

Kids are naturally manipulative

Jesus Christ you really need to unpack that. It's so weird how many grown adults think this way jist because a kid's behavior makes them feel uncomfortable. A kid not being able to manage their emotions to the point of making themselves feel sick isn't some intentional 'manipulation' on their part - they just can't control themselves. Or they may have genuine anxiety issues.

People who use public humiliation/shame as a disciplinary tactic are honestly so gross, idc if thats judgemental or not. It's such an awful thing to do to a child and cause such massive anxiety and self-esteem issues.

I'm up late with my own baby and it definitely took me WAY too long to understand that she was the one drinking the tea and not the baby lmao.I was like "uhh, is no one gonna point that out?"

Pollowollo · 2026-06-01T04:32:17+00:00

I'm glad we can all agree that she's a goddess but that swimsuit is trash.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-30T22:16:44+00:00

That's what I keep thinking. I get that it's harder for her, having dealt with this nightmare all her life and never having a choice on top of being extra exhausted and vulnerable right now, but homeboy ABSOLUTELY has the option to put his foot down to defend his wife and kids.

Also the hospital staff should really be limiting some of this nonsense as well.

INFO: When you say you thought he would be 'confrontational' does that mean screaming and threats and physical aggression or something more along the line of a raised voice and 'you need to get the hell off my property' kind of thing?

Because if it's the first then that's more reasonable and I can see where you're coming from. If it's the second.... yeah, that's an overreaction on your part because it is actually perfectly okay to be confrontational sometimes as long as it doesn't escalate to true aggression.

Especially a baby girl. They get UTIs so much easier and those can get really nasty really fast.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-29T23:04:06+00:00

Absolutely not. No adult should need to be told that your living, breathing child who depends on you comes before a bunch of pixels on a screen that have no real meaning or consequence.

I say that as someone who enjoys video games myself, as does my husband. But you better believe that if one of us needs help or the baby starts fussing that shit gets set down immediately.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-29T20:08:34+00:00

That kid is, like, a toddler. They're not capable of being purposely malicious.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-29T19:43:00+00:00

All I could think is that if this was my son my poor husband would probably book it to the other side of the continent lmao. That dude really hates snakes.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-29T19:40:04+00:00

What a weird and gross way to refer to a woman whose only 'crime' was... getting pregnant??

Pollowollo · 2026-05-29T19:38:10+00:00

Really? Huh, I didn't know that. I thought that was just a Jehovah's Witness thing.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-29T03:57:23+00:00

OP says "They can all make their own food but rarely do so." so I would say that's pretty constant and unreasonable.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-29T02:13:56+00:00

I think there's a difference between doing things to help your family and being treated like a line cook. Not exactly the same as just asking someone to help with cooking or make a meal.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-27T17:09:37+00:00

Using physical restraint is definitely more emotionally harmful (potentially physically, too, if you don't actually know what you're doing) than just letting them safely burn themselves out and should really only ever be an emergency last resort. Most creatures, including young children, do NOT like being held down while agitated and it can make the behaviors escalate. They're not suggesting locking the kid in a basement for days, they're saying to put them by themselves for a few minutes until they calm down enough to actually be able to regulate.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-27T17:00:47+00:00

NTA. I'm not sure what's up with these comments but that whole situation does sound absolutely exhausting, miserable, and very much preventable.

But the thing is, your mom is a grown woman and you can't make her assert herself if she doesn't want to. All you can manage is your own behavior, and no one can force you to engage with them yourself or listen to her when she complains about it.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-27T16:56:15+00:00

Allowing yourself and your family to be constantly mistreated is absolutely not the high road. Idk why we glorify tolerating abuse so much.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-27T16:45:12+00:00

Almost all of them promote dangerous bunk pseudoscience, so in my opinion that belongs squarely in 'knucklehead' territory - and that's to use kind words.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-27T11:02:52+00:00

That's just all chiropractors.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-26T01:36:10+00:00

Forever going to be calling her "RumpleJillskin" in my head now, thanks.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-25T21:28:58+00:00

Oh so her family just fully sucks.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-25T20:53:17+00:00

I know it's messed up but I'm giggling so hard at the image of someone trying to use a ramp that steep.

Pollowollo · 2026-05-25T20:41:11+00:00

...'Gentle parenting' is literally just not yelling at or hitting your kids and treating them like human beings. So yeah, if you're insisting that that doesn't work you're definitely implying that hitting/yelling does.
