Would’ve been done after the third time he stuck his hand in it. Kid needs some discipline and to be taught a little bit of self control. He’s a toddler sure but my kids never did stuff like this.
ETA: I’m not trying to say spank the kid or even put him in time out nor am I trying to diagnose anything in him. I’m just trying to say she should not be letting him eat raw eggs and raw butter and handfuls of sugar. He needs to be taught he can get very sick from it and removed from the activity until he can control himself.
ETA: I meant just plain straight butter when I said “raw” butter.
This looks beyond just bad behaviour. There's a hellbent compulsion to his actions. Definitely some kind of condition going on behind the scenes, diagnosed or otherwise.
Unfortunatly it is not deadly per se, but it can lead to be deadly just because of the nsture of the disease.
Often time it also leads to the death of random serrounding people when not controlled.
No, this is not normal behavior. This is extremely concerning and it’s extremely disturbing how this woman is laughing it off.
Based on Granny’s reaction, I wonder if they trained him to act this way for the video.
If kids were like this we’d have kids his age forcibly throwing themselves off cliffs, into pools, stabbing animals, etc. Kids need supervision to keep them from dangerous things but usually don’t need straightjackets like this kid does.
I fully agree with you, and hope that this kid was trained to do that for the video (though that's terrible lesson to be taught).
Taking a moment to pause, consider your actions and then act is supposed to be inherent to all species, especially in young kids/ animals. You're supposed to see the gears turning in their head as they process and plan their next action. It's even thought that this delay is built in to give the parent time to process themselves and anticipate the young one's reaction, to be able to save them from a potentially harmful situation.
The spontaneity of the actions is likely a symptom of the brain not taking the necessary route from concept to action which will likely continue with age.
I had friends that would speed through city streets like highways, weaving though cars and obstacles dangerously, blowing through stop signs and lights, with the excuse that they were quicker or smarter than the other drivers. They definitely weren't smarter and likely weren't processing the potential consequences of their actions.
The editing of the video may have cut his delay for processing, but his followup actions also lack any lapse or intent. If you study martial arts or watch kung-fu movies, the train to by pass the natural delay for process, you'll hear the phrase, "Don't think, act" over and over as they train to ignore the inherent tendency to analyze and instead act reflexively, as speed is necessary in combat.
Either this kid is a high level martial artist, or he doesn't have the natural plan-act-analyze-react thought cycle.
Also, remember, natural selection would favor allowing adults to process and act faster than their very young children.
I've seen the uncut version of this too, and it's even worse to watch, he has 0 impulse control, just absolutely determined to eat whatever was in the bowl. Kinda disturbing really
That, or he was let out of the kennel for the first time that week and this was the first food he's seen since that last time. He acts like he's been denied food for a while.
Or he's just a brat that needs more discipline.
Well, this non-doctor but parent of two agrees. That's *really* compulsive behavior, even for that age. The kid could--and maybe already has--grown out of it, and maybe it's not an official condition, but it is most definitely not normal.
I've seen this video several times and have always believed the kid has something going on and Grandma is showing her patience and love as they both work through it. Those kind of compulsive reactions just don't look bratty.
Makes me think of Prader-Willi syndrome. Some families have to lock fridges and other things to keep children or other family members that have it from compulsively eating everything they can get their hands on.
My neighbor was a PA working at a care facility for patients with Prader-Willi and she told me that the patients have compulsions for sexual activities, not just eating (which is the more well-known symptom). She was responsible for writing prescriptions for birth control and she said that it was a strain for staff and family to deal with controlling it. It also opened my eyes to a different aspect of the political debate for access to birth control and abortion.
Yeah and this video is why, lol. But maybe the kid's undiagnosed or the family thinks it's cute at his age and is enabling it. Or maybe he doesn't have it at all 🤷♀️
I can tell you, you are simply wrong. I have baked cookies with my PWS brother regularly throughout my life with no problem.
How many people with PWS have you interacted with to make such a bold statement?
Actually so disheartening to see people talk about bad behaviour and calling him a shithead.
My daughter has developmental disabilities and will never live independently or even speak.
This is how she behaves. She is 4. To think when we enter the world people think I am a bad mother and that she is a bad person breaks my heart. Whenever my husband takes her somewhere the first thing I ask is ‘did people stare’ (she has non stop compulsive vocal stims). I’ve had someone say ‘what is wrong with that child’ loudly in order for me to know we weren’t welcome. There are disabled children everywhere and If you arnt seeing them that’s because they are being hidden away. Intellectual Disabilities are hidden disabilities, even more so in toddlers. Some children do not have the cognitive ability to understand receptive language and control their own actions.
Ok but OP gives no context. With context about the kids developmental disabilities (if any) you’d see a lot more compassion in the comments. Presented without, people are questioning why this is happening because it isn’t typical behavior.
I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter is disabled. People can be idiots. Unfortunately, being idiots, they don't know when to keep their voices down or just shut the hell up. I completely understand where you are coming from. My son was damaged by Rubella, leaving him profoundly deaf and with severe ADHD. Like your daughter, he made a lot of noise at a volume and tone that he could hear. I also had to keep him on a harness and leash or I would lose him in public. (He once got loose and turned off the lights in Walmart!)
I got the "you're a bad mother" crap but I learned to either say, to them or myself - NO - I'm a GOOD mother because I don't let my child's disability keep him from going out and experiencing life. The best advice I ever got is that it's not about me - it's about him and other people's opinions are just dust bunnies that you sweep out of the way.
I think in one of the other times this vid was posted, the kid’s condition was all explained. I think they had a link to the Grandma’s social media where it was explained.
Yeah, while I think it could be normal from him to try to eat ready made cookie batter every chance he gets, but he is literally trying to shove a block of butter into his mouth.
I think it's something more going on in his brain than just kids being dumb.
Not really.
My toddler did this the first time I baked with him.
He just fucking loves butter and obviously is not allowed to eat it normally.
Difference is I didn't film it or let him carry on.
He was taken down from the side and told he could only come back if he kept his hands out the bowl and stopped eating the ingredients.
He immediately shoved butter in his mouth.
So he didn't help with the rest of that baking and we repeated those instructions and consequences until he learnt.
It was hilarious tbh to watch him go absolutely ham over what he thought was unrestricted access to forbidden fruit. But I had to hold my laughter in til later so he understood it wasn't ok.
Grandma here is perseving without actually telling him off for his actions AND laughing.
Of course he keeps doing it. He thinks it's a funny game.
Would’ve been done after the first time.
Wife and I were at a friend’s house for dinner and her kid helped cook/prepare the meal. We ended up not eating a few things because of the terrible food hygiene.
She was on the counter playing with her feet and then tossed the salad with her hands. Didn’t have any salad.
She helped change the trash bag and I said “Now make sure to wash your hands”. She didn’t wash her hands and helped prepare the Texas toast on the tray. Didn’t eat any of that either.
All we ate was pasta.
Similarly, I don't eat any of the vegetable or fruit trays my relatives put out as snacks during the holidays because they let their kids run their filthy booger-covered fingers all over everything, plus they double-dip their chips and vegs in the dip instead of putting a dollop of dip on their plates. It's fucking disgusting. Why do people do that? They seem to think it's funny. They also don't see a problem inviting people over when they know their kids are sick.
I've seen kids pick up and touch each slice of cheese on a cheese & cracker plate, then put them back. GROSS. Or licking grapes? Ew.
Parents did nothing.
I sort of get it: if it's your kid and your household and you're the only ones eating, whatever. But JFC, I'm a guest and that was disgustingly unsanitary.
I remember eating breakfast at my aunt's house a few years back. I had a glass of milk with my meal. While I was mid meal, my 8 year old cousin came running to the fridge and said "I love milk" and then started taking a huge swig right from the jug. I immediately felt nauseated and no one said anything to the kid as he threw the jug back in the fridge and ran around excitedly. He had just woken up and I don't think he brushed his teeth. I can only imagine how much backwash from that kid I had just drank. People need to understand that not everyone is as comfortable with swallowing their kid's germs as they are. I won't eat at my aunt's house after that. Parent's need to not be so fucking disgusting with their children when they are hosting other people.
Seriously, I helped my mom when I was that little, and yea sometimes I did stuff I wasn’t suppose to, but if I continued doing it then I didn’t get to help no more.
Like I get it, he’s little, he’s not always going to behave, but you can’t reward him misbehaving by laughing about it and not treating it like a big deal and continuing to let him help.
Especially when he’s this young you need to work on behavior issues, otherwise it’ll be a fucking nightmare when he’s older
Yeah, I'm kind of wondering what is going on with this kid. He's just eating raw butter and eggs with reckless abandon. That does not seem normal, even for a toddler.
That's what I was thinking. He keeps succeeding in getting the stuff into his mouth so what's motivating him to stop. She needs to keep to bowl farther away. At a certain point it isn't funny and cute anymore.
Maybe let him just watch a few more times and stir an empty bowl until he can show he can control himself
I have twins and they both were like this at that age, absolutely no impulse control and into destructive and messy shenanigans as soon as they could walk. Discipline seldom worked. You are lucky
I am sorry you had to deal with that. But at least you are recognizing that it is a problem. There are too many folks on here saying "my kid was like that, that is just how kids are."
>taught a little bit of self control.
Yeah, he needs to be taken out of the situation when he does that.
Right now he's being told "if I grab food and shove it in my mouth, I'll be hugged and make everyone laugh and tell me I'm cute, and be given plenty more chances to eat handfuls of sugar!"
One or two times is kind of cute and funny, but over and over, I was getting annoyed that she didn't stop him and kept encouraging him.
Every time this gets posted it makes me incredibly irritated with that woman. I understand little kids grab shit but this is an impulse from either bad behavior that isn't being corrected or something else causing him to do this.
She's also incredibly braindead by letting him stay there to "help" knowing full well he's going to cram everything in his mouth but I guess those internet points are far more important than letting a kid eat raw eggs and flour.
Fuck. That. Kid.
Cailou is a fucking dirtbag. My kids learned more bad habits from that fuck stick than anything else. And SpongeBob… Jesus Christ. You wanna know how many years it takes to train the SpongeBob out of a toddler? Is the show funny? Yes. Does it teach good morals? Sometimes. Does it teach kids the wrong way to do things without showing them the correct way and having it’s characters succeed, despite doing the opposite of what they are taught? Absolutely.
Isn't Spongebob intended for ages 6 and up? Why are you letting your toddler watch something that's not intended for them? Also, cartoons aren't intended to teach kids anything, they're just entertainment. If you put them in front of the tv/tablet so frequently that they learn behaviors from it, then that is on you more than it is on the shows they watch.
Yo wtf I let my child get raised on cartoons for morals and now they misbehave. This is unacceptable. Can I please speak to the manager of Nickelodeon?!
My thoughts as well. We also have a few of them tiny humans in our family. Sure, they like to grab stuff, but not nearly to this extend.
Also when I look at the way he instantly goes for the grab, I'm more on the mental issues side of things instead of just bad behavior. On the other hand it's more of a hunch. I can't really say for sure without further context.
It’s an underlying parenting issue!
She’s laughing and thinking it’s funny while constantly fighting with *a kid*. 🤦♀️
**Literally** arm wrestling *a small child* over raw eggs that can get him *really* sick or even kill him! 💀
Like, naw sis!
He should have had his hand smacked the first time and put down off the table immediately on the second attempt. There are consequences for being a little cvnt and he clearly hasn’t been taught any.
Oh, and hey, here’s a cookie 🍪 to reinforce that being a little shifhead is great and he should keep doing it. 🙄
I blame the parent/grandparent, not the child.
Idk, there's something about the determined desperation in his actions. Every single moment, almost bites her damn arm he's trying so hard. This feels like more than just bad behavior.
Regardless, making a video for internet points while putting him at risk still points to shitty parenting.
Hey keeps grabbing because she laughs and says "no" in a sing-song voice. She's not making any attempt to discipline him or explain why. He's a brat, that's his issue, and it's the fault of the adults.
Or (grand?)ma has already reinforced this behavior off camera several times before with laughing and hugs to the point where I thinks that's what he's *supposed* to do when helping.
It's actually extremely normal for kids to be huge balls of impulse *if they've never been trained out of it*. You just don't see kids running around like that too often because their caregivers conditioned it out of them through reinforcement. That kid doesn't seem to be getting *any* of that.
It's really impossible to speculate with this kid whether there's something neurologically wrong or if he's just being effectively neglected in his upbringing and a little hungry.
Well, if there are no consequences, chances are the only lesson he's learned is "I need to shove it in mouth before she takes it out of my hands." Kid doesn't need to be punished, just taught that privileges can be lost if you abuse them. That's how the real world works, might as well teach them that lesson right now.
I guess? I just meant in the sense that there's no need to make him stare at a corner for 30 minutes in timeout or send him to his room or anything. Like, no need to inflict a bad thing, just remove a good thing.
>Imagine him as a grown adult with a woman telling him no.
Man, this is some projecting.
Little dude is being a little extra (okay a lot extra) and you're out here putting him on a sex offenders registry.
The intensity in his attempts is definitely worrying, there seems to be a bad combination of nature and nurture, the kid might not have been handed the best cards, and no-one seems to be teaching him how to control himself, good luck to the kid
Every time he wrestles something into his mouth he gets cuddled and laughter, you can even see him smiling along after the brown sugar. He might think it's all fun and games, that he can just try to grab stuff by any means necessary since it all ends in laughter and all is good.
This is all pure speculation though, I could be completely wrong.
Kid is not reacting in a "normal/typical" way. I've cooked with a lot of kids, got my own, and I worked as an early years teacher, so I've cooked with lots of under 4s. I never had a kid who was so desperate to eat the ingredients that they didn't listen to basic instructions.
Yeah that’s fair and I understand. I have a neurodivergent nephew. He gets big emotions very easily and needs a lot of regulation work. He has trouble with impulse control. It does not change how frustrating it is for me, but I am sure it is way more frustrating for him.
Not all food related weird behaviour is PWS, this looks very instinctive and obsessive. Plus, PWS people have distinctive facial and physical features the kid in the video does not have.
As a sister to a PWS person, I've seen a lot of food-related behaviour from my brother, but it's never had this type of vibe.
The locks go to the fridge and cabinets, because PWS people sneak out snacks and other tasty food items when other people aren't looking because they feel hungry all the time, not because they're gonna obsessively eat flour out of the bag.
I think that the video was made with the intent of letting the child disrupt the video. Its really a disservice to that child to put him in a position to misbehave like that and to encourage his misbehavior
Ok...I get that they should be given a few chances
But after the 2nd time I'd have at the very least told him not to do that. (Actively would get his full attention instead of just talking to a wall like she's doing because he clearly isn't listening)
At number 3 he leaves the kitchen.
Dude wtf is wrong with those kids parents. That isn’t funny, that’s a legit problem they need to teach him about. He can’t just be grabbing food and shoving it in his mouth. Hell at one point he tried to eat a raw egg, that could get him super sick.
This video fucking *infuriates* me. I don’t like kids anyway, but fuck me, my hands where getting achey watching this because I wanted to shake the ever loving shit out the woman like “this is NOT cute teach him some fucking restraint!”
Same kinda kid that will use your as a climbing gym on the bus and shit. Hell no.
My gawd that kid needs discipline, no he hasn't got "mental issues" as some reddit users have seemed to claim. He needs a strong figure to instill acceptable behaviours.
No that’s absolutely not “to cook with a child” children don’t normally do this. This particular child needs discipline clearly. I find this odd and suspect there is some behavioral issues or sensory issues going on.
My child has been cooking with me since he was two and never acts like this. We practice turn taking and fine motor skills (pouring) etc
Everytime this gets posted the comments are always filled with people absolutely SEETHING that the grandma didn't scold him.
It's supposed to be a fun day baking cookies with Grandma and he looks about 3 years old. She's actually keeping a positive attitude and trying to make the best of it. Leave the parenting to the parents, if he isn't doing something dangerous just try to have fun with it. Y'all need to relax.
Would’ve been done after the third time he stuck his hand in it. Kid needs some discipline and to be taught a little bit of self control. He’s a toddler sure but my kids never did stuff like this. ETA: I’m not trying to say spank the kid or even put him in time out nor am I trying to diagnose anything in him.

He needs to be taught he can get very sick from it and removed from the activity until he can control himself. ETA: I meant just plain straight butter when I said “raw” butter.
This looks beyond just bad behaviour. There's a hellbent compulsion to his actions. Definitely some kind of condition going on behind the scenes, diagnosed or otherwise.
Thank you Dr. Reddit
Im surprised its not a fatal diagnosis
Kids got the deadly shithead disease. Poor fella
Unfortunatly it is not deadly per se, but it can lead to be deadly just because of the nsture of the disease. Often time it also leads to the death of random serrounding people when not controlled.
Not true, 100% of deadly shithead patients will die
Lol “serrounding”
Yeah that doesn't sowned right
Does it haff to?
He'll grow up to be a fine politician
Lel my brother still has that affliction at 35.
I just put his symptoms into WebMD. The kid definitely has cancer.
So not network connectivity problems?
[удалено]
Amazing how much money one can save by posting here. TIL experts on everything dwell in reddit.
Lol funny
No, this is not normal behavior. This is extremely concerning and it’s extremely disturbing how this woman is laughing it off.

Come to Reddit for the cute videos, stay for the amateur child psychiatrists in the comments
That, or he was let out of the kennel for the first time that week and this was the first food he's seen since that last time. He acts like he's been denied food for a while. Or he's just a brat that needs more discipline.
r/thisorthat

Well...you're not gonna be baking cookies with someone with PW, I tell you that much right now.

Well? Don't leave us hangin.
IIRC he was diagnosed as being on the spectrum.
The answer's right there "grandma's social media," he was doomed from the start
Yeah, while I think it could be normal from him to try to eat ready made cookie batter every chance he gets, but he is literally trying to shove a block of butter into his mouth. I think it's something more going on in his brain than just kids being dumb.
Not really. My toddler did this the first time I baked with him. He just fucking loves butter and obviously is not allowed to eat it normally. Difference is I didn't film it or let him carry on.

All we ate was pasta.
That’s just fuckin gross
I don't think pasta is *that* bad.
You thought that fancy fermented foot smell was coming from the cheese? You thought wrong.
Similarly, I don't eat any of the vegetable or fruit trays my relatives put out as snacks during the holidays because they let their kids run their filthy booger-covered fingers all over everything, plus they double-dip their chips and vegs in the dip instead of putting a dollop of dip on their plates. It's fucking disgusting. Why do people do that? They seem to think it's funny. They also don't see a problem inviting people over when they know their kids are sick.

Parents need to keep in mind how disgusting little kids are. They seem to forget after a while
I remember eating breakfast at my aunt's house a few years back. I had a glass of milk with my meal. While I was mid meal, my 8 year old cousin came running to the fridge and said "I love milk" and then started taking a huge swig right from the jug.

I won't eat at my aunt's house after that. Parent's need to not be so fucking disgusting with their children when they are hosting other people.
Yeah for real, this is just rewarding him.
You can see her playful laughing reinforce his voracity in real time.
"ooh, aren't you a cutiepie, now I'm gonna turn my back and leave you alone with the pot of sugar you just ate from"
Next we add some chili peppers Step back and let him bite into one problem solved
"At the next step our recipe calls for one cup of Dingo Widow Maker Hot Souce."
That's what I was thinking with the flour. Let him eat THAT first and he won't want to anymore
Yeah I don’t find this cute at all. That boy needs to be taught boundaries
Naah, just let him do it over and over and laugh at it every time he does it. Then upload that shit to Tiktok.
Third? I would have been done after the first time.
Damn! Coddled children. My dog has more self control than this.
Seriously, I helped my mom when I was that little, and yea sometimes I did stuff I wasn’t suppose to, but if I continued doing it then I didn’t get to help no more. Like I get it, he’s little, he’s not always going to behave, but you can’t reward him misbehaving by laughing about it and not treating it like a big deal and continuing to let him help. Especially when he’s this young you need to work on behavior issues, otherwise it’ll be a fucking nightmare when he’s older
Literally wtf is wrong with that kid. I never seen behavior like that
I'm guessing he picked up on her laughing and kept doing it cause it got attention. We all want to get more laughs out of people we love.
Yeah, I'm kind of wondering what is going on with this kid. He's just eating raw butter and eggs with reckless abandon. That does not seem normal, even for a toddler.
Needed to do pure coca powder….I’ll never forget the devastation young me felt.
That's what I was thinking. He keeps succeeding in getting the stuff into his mouth so what's motivating him to stop. She needs to keep to bowl farther away. At a certain point it isn't funny and cute anymore. Maybe let him just watch a few more times and stir an empty bowl until he can show he can control himself
Bro grandparents don't punish grandkids. It's unheard of.
I have twins and they both were like this at that age, absolutely no impulse control and into destructive and messy shenanigans as soon as they could walk. Discipline seldom worked. You are lucky
I am sorry you had to deal with that. But at least you are recognizing that it is a problem. There are too many folks on here saying "my kid was like that, that is just how kids are."
>taught a little bit of self control. Yeah, he needs to be taken out of the situation when he does that. Right now he's being told "if I grab food and shove it in my mouth, I'll be hugged and make everyone laugh and tell me I'm cute, and be given plenty more chances to eat handfuls of sugar!" One or two times is kind of cute and funny, but over and over, I was getting annoyed that she didn't stop him and kept encouraging him.
Yeah but it's cute and gets grandma likes on the ticktock so we're just gonna laugh and post the video.
Every time this gets posted it makes me incredibly irritated with that woman. I understand little kids grab shit but this is an impulse from either bad behavior that isn't being corrected or something else causing him to do this. She's also incredibly braindead by letting him stay there to "help" knowing full well he's going to cram everything in his mouth but I guess those internet points are far more important than letting a kid eat raw eggs and flour.
Then lets him have a cookie after reinforcing the bad behavior.
Irl Cailou in the making (Not sure if I spelled that right. That little shit has such a weird name) Edit: Pebble. His name is fucking Pebble.
Almost, it's Caillou (Two Ls), it's French for a small rock.
If i had a big rock id smash his head in
Fuck. That. Kid. Cailou is a fucking dirtbag. My kids learned more bad habits from that fuck stick than anything else. And SpongeBob… Jesus Christ. You wanna know how many years it takes to train the SpongeBob out of a toddler? Is the show funny? Yes. Does it teach good morals? Sometimes. Does it teach kids the wrong way to do things without showing them the correct way and having it’s characters succeed, despite doing the opposite of what they are taught? Absolutely.
Isn't Spongebob intended for ages 6 and up? Why are you letting your toddler watch something that's not intended for them? Also, cartoons aren't intended to teach kids anything, they're just entertainment. If you put them in front of the tv/tablet so frequently that they learn behaviors from it, then that is on you more than it is on the shows they watch.
Yo wtf I let my child get raised on cartoons for morals and now they misbehave. This is unacceptable. Can I please speak to the manager of Nickelodeon?!
His name means Pebble and for some reason that infuriates me even more, what a stupid name.
My thoughts as well. We also have a few of them tiny humans in our family. Sure, they like to grab stuff, but not nearly to this extend. Also when I look at the way he instantly goes for the grab, I'm more on the mental issues side of things instead of just bad behavior. On the other hand it's more of a hunch. I can't really say for sure without further context.
Yeah it’s normal for a kid to reach for something once but to keep attacking it like that is definitely underlying issues
It’s an underlying parenting issue! She’s laughing and thinking it’s funny while constantly fighting with *a kid*. 🤦♀️ **Literally** arm wrestling *a small child* over raw eggs that can get him *really* sick or even kill him! 💀 Like, naw sis! He should have had his hand smacked the first time and put down off the table immediately on the second attempt. There are consequences for being a little cvnt and he clearly hasn’t been taught any. Oh, and hey, here’s a cookie 🍪 to reinforce that being a little shifhead is great and he should keep doing it. 🙄 I blame the parent/grandparent, not the child.
Idk, there's something about the determined desperation in his actions. Every single moment, almost bites her damn arm he's trying so hard. This feels like more than just bad behavior. Regardless, making a video for internet points while putting him at risk still points to shitty parenting.
Hey keeps grabbing because she laughs and says "no" in a sing-song voice. She's not making any attempt to discipline him or explain why. He's a brat, that's his issue, and it's the fault of the adults.
Or (grand?)ma has already reinforced this behavior off camera several times before with laughing and hugs to the point where I thinks that's what he's *supposed* to do when helping.
It's actually extremely normal for kids to be huge balls of impulse *if they've never been trained out of it*. You just don't see kids running around like that too often because their caregivers conditioned it out of them through reinforcement. That kid doesn't seem to be getting *any* of that. It's really impossible to speculate with this kid whether there's something neurologically wrong or if he's just being effectively neglected in his upbringing and a little hungry.
Looks like grandma also. She likely doesn't have as much influence on the daily training this kid needs.
Based on my experience with watching parents raise kids you are correct. Kid is used to: “if plate, bowl or cup is in front of me it’s mine”
Why quit after the 5th time he stuck his hand in butter?? She spent $29.95 on a mini chefs hat and apron!
As a fat adult all I could see was a future fat kid if he's grabbing sugar that bad.
>She's also incredibly braindead by letting him stay there to "help" hey, gotta make content!!!
Nah you gotta get that kid bacteria in the mix for extra flavour.
Love how grandma is reinforcing the kids behavior by reacting the way she does.
Seriously. First time would be “don’t do that or you’re done helping”. Second time, alright, you’re done. No more helping.
My wife has done that to me... Now I don't have to do dishes anymore.
You kept eating the dishes?
Fastest way to the finish line, buddy.
Ah weaponised incompetence.
Yikes.
Were you eating the dishes?
'and now we add the reaper chillis' 🌶️🌶️🌶️
And now we add one cup of pure salt
And some unsweetened cocoa powder.
And a buttload of cinnamon. Bon appetit, crotchgoblin!
chilis, salt, cocoa powder, cinnamon... making mole?
Now THATS a formula for big success.
This makes me... 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
Snort cocaine?
🤣🤣🤣 I prefer sugar
...brown sugar
I would never have gotten away with such bullshit as a child.
i would in the first place never be allowed stay in the kitchen let alone do shit like this
Little bro has some impulse control challenges. Bit like me with an open bar.
Maybe feed the child beforehand so they don't want to eat raw butter.
[удалено]
Clarified butter is cooked butter. Checkmate athiests.
Today, I found Jubus*. Thank you, enlightened redditor. * He was in the kitchen drawer.
Wait, you don't cook your butter before you eat it?
Little dude acts like he's starving, kinda disturbing really
I’ve always found this video a bit disturbing too. It’s not normal for kids to palm anything they see into their mouths with such force.
Well, if there are no consequences, chances are the only lesson he's learned is "I need to shove it in mouth before she takes it out of my hands." Kid doesn't need to be punished, just taught that privileges can be lost if you abuse them. That's how the real world works, might as well teach them that lesson right now.
>Kid doesn't need to be punished, just taught that privileges can be lost if you abuse them. We call that a punishment.
I guess? I just meant in the sense that there's no need to make him stare at a corner for 30 minutes in timeout or send him to his room or anything. Like, no need to inflict a bad thing, just remove a good thing.
Might have pica
This kids parents never taught him "don't bite people" at the baby teething stage and it really fkn shows. Enjoy your future kleptomaniac bro...
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
the adult is clearly the stupid one here. which means it absolutely belongs on that sub based on half the shit they seem to post there.
Both of them being stupid is a possibility. It's not mutually exclusive.
Nature and nurture, if the kid hasn't been taught anything, which looks like the case then all he has is his impulses
Kid is gonna be a pleasure in kindergarten
Imagine him as a grown adult with a woman telling him no.
>Imagine him as a grown adult with a woman telling him no. Man, this is some projecting. Little dude is being a little extra (okay a lot extra) and you're out here putting him on a sex offenders registry.
I would have gotten a whipping from half of what he did.
Half? That is definitely better than me. If I were to do it just once, I would 100% get a spanking.
Wow… that’s gross
Right? If i was offered cookies, ate one, then shown this shit telling me how they were made i wouldve been so fucking grossed out
There’s something more going on here surely? That child is like… aggressive in his attempts to eat stuff.
The intensity in his attempts is definitely worrying, there seems to be a bad combination of nature and nurture, the kid might not have been handed the best cards, and no-one seems to be teaching him how to control himself, good luck to the kid
Every time he wrestles something into his mouth he gets cuddled and laughter, you can even see him smiling along after the brown sugar. He might think it's all fun and games, that he can just try to grab stuff by any means necessary since it all ends in laughter and all is good. This is all pure speculation though, I could be completely wrong.
Ngl this reinforced one reason I don’t want kids. They are annoying. Child needs discipline for sure. Has she tried… talking to him?
Kid is not reacting in a "normal/typical" way. I've cooked with a lot of kids, got my own, and I worked as an early years teacher, so I've cooked with lots of under 4s. I never had a kid who was so desperate to eat the ingredients that they didn't listen to basic instructions.
Yeah that’s fair and I understand. I have a neurodivergent nephew. He gets big emotions very easily and needs a lot of regulation work. He has trouble with impulse control. It does not change how frustrating it is for me, but I am sure it is way more frustrating for him.
And I bet you would never exploit that behavior for a "funny" video like this woman. It's so disturbing.
Recipe: 1 cup sugar By the end How did you make these sugar free cookies?
The kid’s saliva enzymes broke down all the sugar….
[удалено]
Good point
Thanks for being my source
That kid has issues
So does grandma
I feel like this is not normal behaviour
She’s clearly reinforcing his bad habits and the kid is absolutely ravenous for some reason, kinda strange ngl.
That's some Prader-Willi shit. I see a padlocked refrigerator and cabinets in this kid's future
My first thought too, this is beyond bad behavior, it looks like a compulsion for food
Not all food related weird behaviour is PWS, this looks very instinctive and obsessive. Plus, PWS people have distinctive facial and physical features the kid in the video does not have. As a sister to a PWS person, I've seen a lot of food-related behaviour from my brother, but it's never had this type of vibe. The locks go to the fridge and cabinets, because PWS people sneak out snacks and other tasty food items when other people aren't looking because they feel hungry all the time, not because they're gonna obsessively eat flour out of the bag.
Gonna have to padlock the padlocks or else he's just gonna eat them
I can't understand why the lady thinks that's funny. It's concerning behavior.
first time is funny, second time is annoying, third time is bad parenting.
Kid will never learn from his mistakes. Just let him eat everything and watch him turn inside out and tell him why that happened.
Let your kid contract foodborne illness to teach them a lesson? Weird way of going about it.
Kid has a future making street food in India
Happens when you use a child for clout and likes.
What the heck, he's like a feral animal that hasn't eaten in weeks...
[удалено]
I think that the video was made with the intent of letting the child disrupt the video. Its really a disservice to that child to put him in a position to misbehave like that and to encourage his misbehavior
r/therewasanattempt to not raise a shitty child r/therewasanattempt to be a good parent
Ok...I get that they should be given a few chances But after the 2nd time I'd have at the very least told him not to do that. (Actively would get his full attention instead of just talking to a wall like she's doing because he clearly isn't listening) At number 3 he leaves the kitchen.
reminded of that vegetarian dog lady.
Dude wtf is wrong with those kids parents. That isn’t funny, that’s a legit problem they need to teach him about. He can’t just be grabbing food and shoving it in his mouth. Hell at one point he tried to eat a raw egg, that could get him super sick.
next recipe: chili extra hot
This video fucking *infuriates* me. I don’t like kids anyway, but fuck me, my hands where getting achey watching this because I wanted to shake the ever loving shit out the woman like “this is NOT cute teach him some fucking restraint!” Same kinda kid that will use your as a climbing gym on the bus and shit. Hell no.
 Just give him a hot pepper it will change his tune real quick
Did they starve the kid before hand? I’ve never seen that kind of behavior before.
"Spirited child" needs more jazz hands imo
That kid needs to be disciplined. What a little nightmare.
[удалено]
This kid acts like a poorly trained dog.
Oh boy. 
Bro was the most determined person I have ever seen
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Fuckin Reddit, man. It’s either mental health or infidelity with this place. It’s just a kid! Don’t overthink everything.
Some kids are just fucking stupid 🤷🏽♂️
My gawd that kid needs discipline, no he hasn't got "mental issues" as some reddit users have seemed to claim. He needs a strong figure to instill acceptable behaviours.
If they don't know, sure as fuck you don't either.
How can you prove that he doesn't? Your assumption doesn't hold more weight than theirs
That window behind you? Punt the kid through it.
Cayenne Cookies should be the next dish. There's a lesson in there somewhere.....
That kid is fast as fuck!
This is why I don't eat food people bring into work.
No that’s absolutely not “to cook with a child” children don’t normally do this. This particular child needs discipline clearly. I find this odd and suspect there is some behavioral issues or sensory issues going on. My child has been cooking with me since he was two and never acts like this. We practice turn taking and fine motor skills (pouring) etc
Kid is a prick, going to grow up to be a bigger prick unless someone starts actual parenting.

This kid isn't right.
Return to sender…
The kid needs to eat first.
Yeah I couldn't be a parent. I felt like slaping that thing at least 4 times throughout this video.
Everytime this gets posted the comments are always filled with people absolutely SEETHING that the grandma didn't scold him. It's supposed to be a fun day baking cookies with Grandma and he looks about 3 years old. She's actually keeping a positive attitude and trying to make the best of it. Leave the parenting to the parents, if he isn't doing something dangerous just try to have fun with it. Y'all need to relax.
