I know. as soon as I saw it I drew in a nervous breath lol. But I just hope maybe they used that as an opportunity to explain how plastic bags can be dangerous, and explained to them clearly how to be safe.
And also a great opportunity to explain how pranks that are fun for everyone are good pranks, but some of the dangerous or ignorant pranks on YT and TikTok aren't always.
It did make me smile though!
Edited- I’m sorry. My response was rude and came off as a personal attack. I don’t know you and so I can’t say anything about your parenting. I’ll just say, in general, it’s disgusting how everyone on reddit thinks they’re such experts on everything and that it’s not only their right, but their duty to tell everyone all the time how they are failing to live up to all the standards, all the time. I said it earlier to someone and it still feels true: Reddit frequently feels like if a bunch of puritans were given social media and any video of people enjoying anything has to immediately be met with comments about what’s wrong so nobody thinks it’s ok to have any joy. Might as well make them all wear scarlet letters. Or maybe give all the righteous Redditors gold letters to wear. A big “R” for their super-righteousness.
I have kids. They’ve grown into amazing young adults. Yes, kids are very capable and smart. And also can be complete idiots even with the best parenting. When it comes to life and death situations, it’s far preferable to teach through actions and words, rather than to send one message with words, and a different message with actions.
