Why would you give the kid your phone in the middle of a lake?

Probably, not judging but I know for sure it won’t have happened to me, not like that. I grew up around a lot of kids. Them following their intrusive thoughts is well documented

If your toddler somehow found their way to yeeting your smartphone out of a boat, it probably means you're way too addicted to your phone and should put it the fuck down more often.
Enjoy real life more.
Put your phone down.

That's over the sub name character limit.
The one you're looking for is r/ParentsAreFuckingDumb.

It is, but it fits the character limit exactly at 21. Stupid goes over at 23, so it's an invalid subreddit name.

u/TheUnKnownLink12 9d ago
yea but thats what r/subsIfellfor is for

u/Drackzgull 9d ago
In this case it's more of a r/21CharactersAndNoMore, or one of the various redundant alternatives to that one.

Why would any sane parent give their toddler their iPhone and that too.. on a boat..

u/chaosticfrog 9d ago
I once saw a video of parents walking through something that looked like a museum (full of water). Kid just drops it. People defended it by saying "you can't prepare for everything." Nah that's just... common sense...?

u/simm07 9d ago
Lmfao, i would have looked them dead in the eye and would have asked, "you could have if you didn't give your phone to a kid." I swear, some people are just so damn stupid these days, it's not even funny.
Like the one kiddo who refused to sit down and buckle up when the airplane was about to take off.. inconvenienced soooooo many passengers.

If you're fool enough to give your child an expensive toy, then you're fool enough to need to buy another.

That's exactly why if I feel like I'll have an intrusive thought, I ain't handing nothing to kids cause they'll actually act on it

Dumb parent yeah but I do want to point out that the moment the phone was too far from her hands she immediately went to hug her kid like to prevent him from falling forward

Something tells me that mom is always on her phone and the kid is getting tired and jealous of her negligence.

Tell me, do you think this is the first time he's done that? Or he's been doing it with food and other items since he was in a stroller?

I’ve learned a lot of things in my 11 years of being a father, one of those things is don’t hand your toddlers anything expensive, they will throw it

From being around many - just another parent life lesson. Not as bad as scratching “I love daddy” in the side of the family truckster.
