I'm glad they're not making a big deal about this, cause shit happens sometimes, but why did a parent allow their child to get into a situation of tipping over the jar to see what's inside in the first place?
All it takes is a few seconds of looking away, something even the best parents do. Especially at a museum. "Look at this, honey" crash.
When I had two kids I would think the same and that’s because my kids were well behaved and so I could just judge other parents. Then I had my third kid and shit went sideways somewhere and now I can understand these parents. Then I had my fourth kid and realize that I am now one of these parents.
I never understand people that have too many kids, it's like someone saying 'so I gambled all my money away and now I'm broke which I'm going to make your problem'
If you choose to have too many kids to keep under control then you don't get to go to places where kids need to be kept under control unless you have people there to help you.
Kid 1: Pull out method is a lie
Kid 2: On purpose
Kid 3: On purpose
Kid 4: Pull out method is a lie
My kids are 15, 11, 4 and 3. I was mostly saying my first response as tongue in cheek. My oldest plays high school football and second oldest is on 2 travel soccer teams.
Don’t really have time to do much outside of sports. We mostly head up to cottage country in Canada during summers for vacations. No fucking way am I bringing them all to museum of all places lol.
Even with just two kids and two parents, one parent is paying or presenting a ticket, second parent notices kid 1 is leaking nose horror all over their mouth and reaches to wipe it. Kid two, now knowing they have 4 unsupervised seconds, will teleport to the other side of the room, use their Felix the Cat briefcase to make a stepladder, and is now standing on top of a brontosaurus smoking cigarettes they found.
My one year old yesterday used the time it took me to give my 4 year old a courtesy wipe in the bathroom to push a kitchen chair across the room, climb that chair, start the coffee maker, and grab a handful of candy from the candy drawer. It sounds outrageous, but we've been pressing coffee pot buttons in the morning to help make the coffee. He's seen me get him a piece of candy for desert from the candy drawer. He learned the day before he could climb up on a piano bench by pulling his belly on top. And that morning he pushed in a heavy kitchen chair that was sticking out, and it is the first time he could move it. So, of course, he synthesized those skills at the most opportune time.
He's one. My four year old gets up to some real oceans 12 shit when left to her own devices. Kids are nuts. It would be equally a normal story for a 4 year old if the kid had been found hiding INSIDE the pot, making documentary accurate dolphin noises.
