So, is THIS kid "cute"?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47069points) September 10th, 2013

See this video

Remember the video of the little girl putting on her own seat belt, how some people thought she was so cute telling her father to mind his own business? Father thought it was cute too. The video above will be her in another 5 years. Would it be cute if the boy was only 2 or 3, yelling that stuff, the same way the little girl with the seat belt was yelling similar stuff at her dad?

Can you imagine what they’ll be like in another 10 years?

He’s a mess, but his parents are worse, far worse.

I so agree. Totally. I think that “cute” little girl with the seat belt thing was becoming a mess too.

Gawd, that is awful all around. That kids will not be liked by anyone. And the parents will be baffled because they “always loved our cute kid!”.

“They just don’t like you because you’re smarter than them,” is what they will say.

Here is that little girl. I think they are very comparable. She seems cute because she’s so little. I’m sure that 7 year old boy at the game seemed cute when he was 2 and telling people to “F off,” in a squeaky, cute little boy voice.

It’s the kids parents that are encouraging him to be a little weenie, kids are smart, they will repeat behaviors that get a rise out of others. Nothing cute about it, obnoxious little brat IMO.

So was the little girl @Coloma, don’t you think?

How about some no. Not even maybe. On the other hand…

Does anyone have a machete? Because I want to dress up as the Superhero “Malaysian Head Hunter”.

Personally to me, there’s nothing “cute” about the kids. Then again I don’t have any kids, so that makes my opinion biased.
However, I grew up being told that “kids should be seen and not heard.”

I’d like to enter his home on xmas morning dressed as Santa & murder his parents with a big knife. Then i’d force feed the little shit all of his presents & laugh in his face as he choked on his own vomit. He survives, but is emotionally scarred by the experience & eventually commits suicide in his late thirties.

I don’t think this kid compares to the little girl at all. Why will she be a “mess” in a few years? Kids say stuff like that. I thought the “worry ‘bout yourself!” was pretty cute, and no one can say anything about the dad’s parenting or how this girl will turn out from that one video.

This boy, though, is not cute. He’s old enough to know better, but he was obviously never taught how to behave in public.

Who’s to say the father of the girl would allow her to talk to someone else that way? Who’s to say he didn’t correct the behavior the next time it happened?

I think people are quick to judge the parenting of others on such limited information. What the hell do we know?

Dutchess_III's avatar

The girl is old enough to start learning better. You could be right @livelaughlove21. Maybe the dad just caught this one video and that’s the end of it. I hope so. But it could be that the the parents of the boy thought he was just as “cute” when he was that age.

@Dutchess_III I just don’t think a 2-year-old being sassy with daddy is necessarily going to turn into a 7-year-old screaming at someone he doesn’t even know, even if the behavior isn’t immediately corrected once the video stops. It’s a bit of a leap. I was a sassy little thing, my parents never corrected it unless it got out of line (which it never did), and I didn’t turn into an asshole a few years later.

Perhaps we should test chromosomally for this and then preemptively abort?

ragingloli's avatar

Legalise retroactive abortion now!

I would request security shut him up or throw them out. Hopefully ban them from the stadium, and teach a lesson to all those who need it taught to them… including the other fans who seem to think they need to put up with this just because he’s a child.

Even churches have cry rooms where parents take unruly children to cool off before getting struck down by God’s lightning.

Obnoxious piece of shit, up and coming bully and clearly an ill-raised terror that will bring pain to others in his life!

What’s sad is that he must have learned it directly from a family member, his father or uncle or whatever. Still, an annoying little fuck for sure. Hopefully he’ll get his ass beat by another kid that he mouths off to, so he’ll wise up and learn to interact with others properly.

whitenoise's avatar

I think it is sad and I’m happy none of my children would ever behave like that. (I hope)

I am with Maceo the Cat, though who left the following remark on this page:

“He is. But calling a 7-year-old an asshole and not blurring out his face in the video is 3,000 times more assholish, Ley.”

I hope this kid grows up into a responsible adult still. And then not be haunted by this clip

How can you all be so shittily harsh about a 7 year old kid?
Please direct your negativity on whoever was with the child and responsible for it.

Strauss's avatar

I’m with @whitenoise on this. Behavior like this is learned.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Absolutely it is learned. The words and phrases are learned. But what is it about our society that can cause SOME people to think that it’s OK just because its a kid? Same thing with the little girl. Her nasty, rude behavior was learned as well.
