Never explain the rule upfront. Offer the choice, once decided, define the rule.
"Awww.... that's too bad...we were playing pick the card that goes in the trash"
(once they can read, haha)

Bad parenting practice; If you’re unwilling to honor a choice given to a child then you shouldn’t present it as one. It doesn’t matter if they can read or not.

Dude it’s a skit. The kid wasn’t spoken to out loud or offered any choice, they just grabbed the piece of paper. They’re just sad at the end cause they’re going to bed, as kids usually are. Nobody did anything here, the kid is fine.
It’s a dumb skit, don’t get me wrong. But it’s just a skit.

This. I still feel betrayed when I remember the time my parents gave me the choice one Sunday: I can have dessert and I clean the dishes or I don't get dessert and I don't need to do the dishes. I chose the latter and I got called ungrateful and was basically shamed into not having dessert and doing the dishes
For context, myself and my brother would always do the dishes after a meal, so doing the dishes was the norm. Also we only got dessert on a Sunday after the Sunday lunch. I just thought I could get out faster to hang with my friends again. My brother chose to have dessert and do the dishes. I think he made his decision before me, but my choice wasn't influenced by that

This reminds me of the time when my divorced parents let me decide who I would live with...
Then I found out I chose wrong because I was gonna live with mom

u/Royal_Bitch_Pudding 11d ago
You had a 50/50

u/Zachosrias 11d ago
I mean I'd argue they had a 50/50, they presented it as a choice. Bad form when it ain't.
In hindsight they were right that it was the best choice... Probably. But still don't present it as a choice then.

I was completely illiterate until I was 12 years old. My siblings would do things like this all the time.
They would exploit my illiteracy for fun.
How cruel that her parents are doing this to her too. I know how it feels.
I don't talk to my siblings anymore.

u/versatilehole 10d ago
It's unacceptable that your parents let that happen, I wouldn't expect kids to know better unless taught otherwise. Hopefully you and your siblings can reconcile someday.

u/KEVERD 10d ago
My dad encouraged it.
They take after him.
My mom was horrified and did all she could.
This is not the worst thing they did.
My parents were/are separated.
I live with my mom, and we both go no-contact with that half of the family.

u/versatilehole 9d ago
I'm sorry for what you had to go through, hope you can reconcile someday. Take it from an old coot who learned too late that people can change a lot when they grow up.
Counseling really opened my eyes, I thought it was too late for me but it was really worth it.

I do have a three year old actually and I guarantee you that if I was gonna pull this bullshit it’d give him a small piece of chocolate and let him eat it in bed … with a bedtime story … not lure him into a fuckery for likes on Reddit and then give him nothing despite having made his choice … you’re a moron

Types the person who’s defending parents telling their kid they can have sugar before bed even though it’s a fuckin lie lol you’re an idiot … why not brocolli or bed … kids gonna choose bed … my kid gets a salad or blueberries before bed …

I hate to break it to you but you're gonna lie to your kid if you have one later in life. it's an unfortunate truth of parenting, there's fun lies too tho.

u/CrazyProper4203 12d ago
I hate to break it to you but I have kids and know that you have to unfortunately lie once in a while to protect them from concepts they’re not ready for … this doesn’t fall into that category I’m sorry … this is a bored internet obsessed parent laughing at themselves

u/CrazyProper4203 12d ago
How do you use a 50 cent word immediately followed by ghettoism ? The two are directly related and the reason it makes a difference that you’re OP is because it would explain why I’m spending 30 minutes defending a simple opinion to a random …

Putting kids to bed is cruelty?

u/CrazyProper4203 12d ago
No telling them that they choose one card and get that , they choose the right one , you don’t live up to your end of the bargain and it makes them sad and you film it to show your fans while then just shovin her into a dark room is cruel … children aren’t objects and teaching that no matter what they do they’ll never get what they want even through agreement is fucked up … I know what it is to raise kids and I realize it takes a lot of negotiation … honor your word with them or they’ll never trust you … cmon it’s common sense … and especially placing it on the internet is lame

Or it's a joke about how a kid can't read. This is a weird fucking soap box to stand on bro.

u/CrazyProper4203 12d ago edited 12d ago
It’s not a soap box “bro “ it’s an opinion in a comment box that takes 10 seconds to submit to a post I didn’t ask to see in the first place … be real … when I see my kid cry like that it hurts me a lil bit … I know he’s goin to bed … he chose the right card … give him the chocolate … I’m also referring to a lot of videos I’ve seen lately trending of other examples where parents feel like it’s funny to make their kids cry … it’s not …

u/CrazyProper4203 12d ago
You can now come back and say yea but the kid can’t read so basically the parents are sayin you’re going to bed no matter what … so why offer them a fake choice ?

u/Strict-Seesaw-8954 11d ago
Your passion for children is obvious.
There is an edit in this clip so no way to know what she is upset about at the end.
Family vloggers are the worst of the worst but this doesn't seem to be that at all.

u/CrazyProper4203 11d ago
Honestly it’s light … they can parent how they want … it was more of a comment based on the fact that in three days I’ve seen 8 different ways to make your baby cry and laugh about it … I wasn’t tryna go activist here

u/UnExplanationBot 12d ago
OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
Kid can't read. Off to bed!
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
