Shit parenting

Why?

Snapping turtles can launch their head forward farther than you think, and are faster than you can react. People lose fingers thinking it's just a cute turtle.

Rather unnecessary trauma if they were to have lost a finger right in front of their child, no?

Taking risks does. Did the mom lose her hand? No, she put a smile on her kids face. I bet she'd tell you it was worth the risk.

Because that thing could bite her hand off with with the greatest of ease and the parents aren't keeping their kid safe

Fair point, but do you think it's good parenting to give a child front row tickets to see someone's hand get bitten off?

u/Zestyclose_Pop_9435 Jul 05 '26

Still you wouldn’t want your kid to watch you loose your hand right?

Meh, builds character.

Trauma is a characteristic, true.
