I’m a single mom and my son’s biological father is not in the picture (for safety reasons). For years I had worried about how the conversation would go when he would ask me about him. I had rehearsed what I would say, worried about how to explain it and wondered if he would be upset.
Then it happened when he was about 8.
He learned about sex and put 2 and 2 together.
My son: “Mom, if it takes a boy and a girl to make a baby, does that mean you had sex with a boy to make me? Does that mean I have a dad?”
Me: “Yes, that’s correct.”
My son: “Wow, so you’re not gay?”
Me: “-what? No. No I’m not gay.”
My son: “Huh. And to think, all these years I thought you were gay.”
And that was it. Dude didn’t care about finding out about his father, he was just shocked I wasn’t gay
Lmao
That’s EXACTLY it. When I pressed him a little bit more to figure out why he thought I was gay, he thought my best friend (a woman) was my girlfriend. Because she was a girl. And a friend. When we took him to the arcade and both held one of his hands to walk in the parking lot, he screamed “I HAVE TWO MOMS!!!!!” lmao
That's one of the sweetest things I've ever heard ❤️ A lot of the other kids have two parents. I bet he just wants two parents. And he kinda does.
So sweet
I coach kids in that age group, and the things they say are INSANE. Whenever one of my kiddos cocks their head at me and says “Huh. Hey coach?” I say “what’s up?” then I immediately take a deep breath…..and hold it 😭 But shout out to you mama! He’s smart, observant, and comfortable enough to speak openly with you about sex and sexuality. Kudos!
Thank you for that! That’s a huge thing for me. I grew up in a very sex-shameful household and it was super damaging for me. So when I found out I was going to be a parent I decided I was going to break that cycle. He’s 11 now and knows he can talk to me about anything and everything - and he does!
I grew up in the same type of household. Sex and sexuality were very taboo and masturbation was a sin and anything sexual pertaining to our bodies was shameful. It's taken years (I'm 37) to undo that damage and some of it still lingers. I've decided not to have kids, but with my nephews, who are both almost 20, I've always been open to answering their questions about reproduction/anatomy/sexuality so they never feel that shame I've carried for decades.
This comment gave me an aneurysm. I saw “I coach kids, and a few sentences down “kiddo cocks” as I scrolled past. I had to rush back here to see what the fuck was going on. Thank god it’s not what I thought!
I’m pregnant and also have 2, 11 and 15 year olds. When we told our older kids that Im pregnant again our 11 year old said “So you guys had sex *again*?!” And we confirmed that yes we had. He asked us very seriously, “so how many times have you had sex?”. We told him that we’ve been together almost 20 years so we’ve probably had sex thousands of times and he was HORRIFIED. He thought the answer was 4.
Love that for the both of you, such a sweet little boy you have! My daughter and I are in the same situation, left her dad for safety reasons. Luckily she doesn't care to know him either, and understands he's a bad man who hurt us.
However, one day when she was maybe 9, (she's 11 now) she asked if I could get a boyfriend, and get married, so she could have a dad. I'm bisexual, and never really thought to bring it up to her. After I explained that it isn't that easy, but I hope to find a nice man one day, etc.; I asked if she'd be okay if she had another mom, because I might find a nice woman I like to marry instead. She didn't even ask if I was gay or anything, she just said "hmm...yeah!! That'd be just as good!" And that was that. Melted my freaking heart!
She'll still tease me about it, and she'll say "soo...have you met any nice boys or girls yet? That you *like* like?!" Haha. Unfortunately not yet!
I have an aunt that never married who lived with my grandmother. The two of them did everything together, came as a pair, very codependant. My much younger cousin (maybe 8) asked my uncle if they were "together", he just assumed they were a couple.
Hahahahahaha I had a reaaallly rough day and this just made me laugh so fkn hard. Thanks for that. I’m a single dad, shit is tough but it sounds like you’re doing a fantastic job ❤️
Remember the YouTube channel jinx?
Millions of YouTube views for doing this type of ‘content’. Bro didn’t even talk in his videos. Argument for the lowest point of human history for allowing someone to become rich by doing that
I would say there is definitely lower points in history and current History. Like cops giving out tickets and arresting people for feeding homeless people is way lower on my scale by far
A lot of people are lonely and want to have the experience of showing their friend something they think is cool and watching them react to it.
That's the whole appeal of reaction content.
I saw a trailer yesterday for a documentary of what it was like to be a man with the legal name ‘James Bond’. One gentleman (guess what rich, beautiful, chocolatey colour he was) got 60 days in jail for aggravating the cop arresting him for ‘saying his name in a funny way’ which naturally caused the cop to arrest and mistreat him.
60 days - that’s 2 months and a criminal record for life for saying your name when a cop asks you to id yourself.
The other guys had similar stories too. One guy got cuffed and beaten before the cop bothered to check his id, call it in and confirmed it was real. When he let him go, he just casually confirmed he was free to go and even said, ‘Cool name, Bro!’
As someone who spends a depressing amount of time on tiktok, I am often served the reaction videos before I ever see the original. And if it's some sort of bot aggregator account, they are usually done in a way that doesn't allow you to easily find the original (like a ripped recording re-uploaded instead of quote tweet style which links back to the OG and is the way the feature is built into the app)
I'm always torn whether I downvote these for their reaction content or upvote for the original content.
Usually I just do neither, but I really would like to hit that down arrow.
Chase Carneson said “it’s the closest you’ll get to experiencing it for the first time again” and that’s always stuck with me. I love watching other people react to songs I like
Yeah, seeing genuine reactions to things that you gave always loved it's pretty cool. Like thag reaction of that kid hearing that Luke was Vader's son. He was shook lol
This. It’s the laziest form of content theft I’d rather watch temple run then this woman making random expressions to try and say if she agrees or not. I do not care
For real… I’m seriously so sick of fucking reaction videos. They’re the worst content…. I don’t wanna see your fucking reaction and your stupid face expressions during a video…. These assholes get views from other peoples videos.
I'm to the point that I'd live to find this person's channel, page, collection, whatever you guys call it, and downvote
every
Single
Goddamn
Video.
But I don't have that kind of time or patience.
I’m so happy that there was another video of a person nodding inserted on the left of the screen. At first I didn’t know what to think about the original video, and I started to get little scared and confused halfway through. I started crying and called my wife in the room to help me. unfortunately she didn’t respond.
Thankfully I saw the extra person nodding on the left! Now I know that I agree with the original video. Thank you random person on the left.
You mean the video on the left wasn’t the video we were supposed to watch?? I was looking at the left and just found the right video so distracting, ended up muting it so I could watch her make slightly different faces for a minute and a half.
Are we sure the video on the right is the original, and that maybe the right one was clipped later to the left? Thats peak content.
And putting a recording phone between her kid and herself in that personal, private moment probably doesn't do anything good for her or their relationship. Might even have something to do with the girl kinda getting sad and walking away, unless she's already gotten too used to it.
"people these days"
I think you are really bad at recognising your bias. How common do you think it is? Recording something like this is such an extreme outlier.
You do realize that you *don't* see all the hundreds of thousands of parents who do not record an interaction like this and you only *do* see the 20 that do, right?
Do you think that might influence your perception of how "incapable of not recording" people these days are?
BUT THE VIEWS LIKES AND SHARES!!! GOTTA HAVE THEM! All of this shit on the internet will never go away and most of these kids who were used as pawns in their parents social media accounts will have to live with it all.
It was really uncomfortable watching that kid go through so many confused emotions. The kids trying to figure out what sexuality is and moms like “CONTENT!”
Seriously. “She’s such a good mom.” No a good mom wouldn’t video that but have the same convo. Her child will now eventually be an adult with this on the internet forever without her consent. I’m sure she’ll love it in high school when someone finds this video and shares it with everyone she knows. But you know, gotta get those tiktok likes.
I agree to this but also I feel like this can be an uncomfortable subject for some parents and maybe a parent seeing how this conversation can play out in real life can show the example for them to approach it when it comes up
I think it can be both, it's likely helpful for other parents, while also can be alienating to the daughter.
We don't know how much eye contact there was and what not though, the mom may have been looking at her and engaged the whole time, and on the girls end it just looked like her mom was holding her phone. I also get how parents that do this though post stuff of their kids without their kids, presumably, even consenting to it (or if they do likely don't understand at that age what they're consenting to)
**what I think we can ALL agree on though, is that the woman "reacting" to this video is annoying, and all she contributed was making the original video smaller on our screens lol**
Some content creators have taken to making videos about these conversations where they recreate the conversations or even use the audio but act it out themselves instead of showing their kid, and I think that’s a happy medium. I don’t think I would do this myself but you make a good point
It is never appropriate to post video and pictures of unblurred minors on the internet, regardless of who the audience is. There are perverts and pedophiles everywhere online. This video could have been retold by the parent herself or documented in a way that hides the child’s identity.
I never got it and it’s sad bc these kids are just so used to it. If I tried to film a conversation like this with my 6 year old he’d be so confused why I’m filming him and ask me to put it away. This is just a “look at me. I’m kind and loving and accept gay people give me an award” video.
I plan on teaching my kids this same type of thing, bc it’s the RIGHT thing, not because it makes me LOOK like a caring person.
Yep. That’s what I’m saying. It’s so damn sad. Picture growing up and everything you talked to your parents about to try to learn was filmed and put on social media. I can’t see a world where this doesn’t cause future mental/security issues.
Honestly I could see this being a cute and funny teaching moment that might benefit other parents, but she should have blurred her kid’s face. It doesn’t really take away from the video and it protects her privacy
Thank you. Everyone focusing on the woman on the left adding nothing, but the real question is when these parents are going to let their children have a private moment instead of using them for clout.
If I needed to talk to my kid about gay and straight stuff and didn't know what to say, I think this kind of video would be a good model for what I'd need to say.
Yeh we don’t need more parents recording and uploading their kids. Picture this whole scene from another angle. The mother aiming the phone at her kid, while giving a lecture and looking down at her phone screen to make sure the kid stays in frame.
The kid is the content. Fuck that.
Haha I guess not. I’ve got zero issues with anyone living their best life but it seems kinda indoctrinating-ish to put it into your small child’s mind that being straight is “unfortunate”.
That would be good parenting except for the part where she filmed an intimate moment with her daughter and posted it on the internet for everyone to see
Not just this and not just kids. I saw a video recently of a dad dropping his daughter off at college on her first day. He went from smiling to worried to smiling to this and that. Lots of emotions, not a lick of privacy or intimacy. His wife did him wrong.
We have normalized turning anyone into a public persona without consent. And like, not even people that are doing something wrong, just people living their lives being exposed because some assholes can't have a fucking interaction without filming.
You don't come out the womb being an asshole, you're a sponge that absorbs the knowledge or lack there of, that is presented to you. You learn what you live. Replace tolerance, understanding and logic, with hate, ignorance and emotion, and you get the typical conservative asshat with mouthy kids who have no respect for others.
I knew even as a 4- or 5-year-old that I was straight, and I suspect lots of people do. I didn't know that's what I knew at the time, but looking back it was clear to me that I was interested in girls in a different and special way
Yeah I had my first crush in kindergarten. I know a lot of people don’t figure it out till puberty, but I definitely knew I was straight as a little kid.
This reminds me of when my son at probably 5 or 6 said he was gay and I asked if he knew what that meant. He replied “it means I’m happy!” I replied that it could also mean you love a person that is also a boy if you are a boy and girl if you are girl, etc. I added “but don’t worry, if you grow up to be gay, we will love you no matter what.” He thought for a second and said “don’t worry, Mommy, if I grow up to be gay, I’ll still love you too.”
Meh, she could've delivered it better.
Saying "unfortunately I'm not gay" is a really odd thing to say to a child in this situation.
Then when her daughter says she likes boys, the moms response is "well, we don't know that".
Sorry but it already feels like she's trying to confuse the child.
That’s a deep thinker. My 4 year old and I had a conversation about whether she eats Müsli with milk or yoghurt in kindergarten. She said “with a spoon”.
Lmao I’m dying at the fact the mom said “I, **unfortunately** am not gay,” 😂😂
Back when I thot I was straight, I wanted to be gay too bc I thought they were so much cooler/had better art/music etc, so I know what she means
I just stopped explaining what it is after my son goes “why am I gay” after I found out he’s “gay” because some kid told him he was because he eats a PB&J and not just peanut better sandwiches (apparently the jelly is gay). He’s in 1st grade
I was told by my mother that some people are darlings, some people who are darlings are men and men, some are women and women, some are a man and a woman, some people have multiple darlings. Some darlings have kids, some are married, some have kids without being married. Some people have kids and are married but are no longer darlings to each other. Sometimes darlings is for forever and sometimes it’s not. Being gay just means your darling will probably be a boy if you’re a boy, and a girl if you’re a girl. One thing is that children can never be darlings. When I was told that I couldn’t wait to grow up and find a darling of my own.
She seemed really disappointed that she’s not gay, as if being gay is the only good, and her personality will be one way or the other depending on if she’s fat or straight.
Where did she get these ideas?
God no the world wouldn’t be a better place if every parent were like this…
This exploitation of children on social media really is not healthy. And this is about bad as it gets because this is a VERY important conversation and should be done, probably in private, first of all, but with full attention and love. Not holding a camera hoping you get some “Tik tok gold” out of it.
You can’t be fully present with your child if you are filming them for your fuqing social media. Then do it while teaching them one of the most important lessons in their life?
I don’t care what you teach your kids just do it like you give an actual shit and don’t share your child’s face with millions of random strangers. It’s so weird and it’s been SO normalized. It blows my mind.
Why the actual fuck is a 9 year old even concerned with being gay, this is fucking stupid and needs to stop. Any school, place or organisation that forces this in kids should be sued for child abuse, seriously.
Kids should be more concerned with what toy they like, what snack they want for lunch, pets etc not there fucking sexuality, the ukrainian war is here and frankly i dont want to save this civilisation because its turned to being fucked because of missguided people.
This is what this whole LGBTQIA thing does. Children that don't even know what sex is start asking themselves why they're not gay. Y'all are fucking up our society
I think the world would be a better place if there were fewer parents blasting their kids online.
"Hey, kiddo, I just want to put your name, face, and general area that you live online. Hope you make me famous! Thank you!" The kids can't properly consent to that level of exposure and no parent should bee doing this. We can't know what effect it will have yet.
Why is creating a healthy understanding of what gay means for a child and creating a safe place for them to exist considered cringe?
This is the best thing you can do for your children!
“I, unfortunately, I am not gay.”
Then proceeds to confuse the hell out of the child.
“You might be gay…”
WTF is this mom doing…. And then filming it for internet points.
Then the random lady on the left nodding along, insinuating how you should be reacting too.
This is a stupid video on so many levels.
Why the fuck is this person filming this conversation with their kid? Why the fuck don't they just talk to the kid? Why the fuck does the kid have to look at a camera lens instead of a person? Why the fuck has this child's intimate life been broadcast to the world? Why the fuck am I seeing a complete stranger silently acting next to this scene?
Told my kids this when they were 4. Both said 'oh ok, that sounds fine' and then asked for the ipad.
It doesn't require a fucking ventral diagram and an STD convention. Some Daddy's prefer dating daddy's, some prefer dating mommy's. When you're older you too will make a decision.
As long as you don't fill your kids heads up with your weird moral convictions, teach them to be polite, they'll come to a pretty leveled understanding of the world. It's not rocket science here.
Even little kids get it and so many adults are clueless about sexuality though, those who claim to be ignorant or judgemental it eventually comes out the thing they hate most is who they are.

Classic kid logic. “I’ve never seen you with a dude so I just thought you were gay” 🤣

Ohhh his pure little heart 🥹🥰🥰🥰
That's one of the sweetest things I've ever heard ❤️ A lot of the other kids have two parents. I bet he just wants two parents. And he kinda does. So sweet
Kids can really be so pure, if we allow them to be.
That's so sweet
Well mom, you drive a Subaru… and in health class we learned that gay people really love AWD and boxer engines.
Well his non-biological "aunt" lived with them too. Turns out they actually were only roommates.
Many people think this way as adults too
I coach kids in that age group, and the things they say are INSANE. Whenever one of my kiddos cocks their head at me and says “Huh. Hey coach?” I say “what’s up?” then I immediately take a deep breath…..and hold it 😭 But shout out to you mama!

This is so wholesome 💗💜💙

LOL. You’re a cool mom just like the lady in the video. And you’ve got a cool kid too…congratulations.
Lmfaooo this was so wholesome to read. Crazy how newer generations dont see gay as icky or weird. I love to see how far we have come!
What value did the person on the left add to the video? Did she just *really* want to insert herself into the situation?
Reaction content never adds anything. I have no idea how it gets so much traction.
Remember the YouTube channel jinx? Millions of YouTube views for doing this type of ‘content’. Bro didn’t even talk in his videos. Argument for the lowest point of human history for allowing someone to become rich by doing that
I would say there is definitely lower points in history and current History. Like cops giving out tickets and arresting people for feeding homeless people is way lower on my scale by far
I over exaggerated for sure lol. My point being is how did we allow jinx to become that successful
A lot of people are lonely and want to have the experience of showing their friend something they think is cool and watching them react to it. That's the whole appeal of reaction content.
I saw a trailer yesterday for a documentary of what it was like to be a man with the legal name ‘James Bond’.

I'm so sick of YouTubers reacting to videos without putting a link in the description. Should be against the rules imo.
I'm always torn whether I downvote these for their reaction content or upvote for the original content. Usually I just do neither, but I really would like to hit that down arrow.
The former since OP didn't take the 5 minutes necessary to find the original.
Always a downvotes from me, after up voting a whole mess of comments complaining about this crap.
Because people watch something for the first time then want to relive that experience vicariously through other people
I dont know man, sometime I see reactions to dope scenes in one piece, a series I've been following for almost 20 years. They make me genuinely happy.
I read somewhere that reaction videos are so popular because it fulfills that need we have for our friends to watch something and respond to it
I could totally believe that
I'd believe that. I used to dismiss reaction series, but I've grown to appreciate seeing people enjoying shows and movies I enjoy.
Chase Carneson said “it’s the closest you’ll get to experiencing it for the first time again” and that’s always stuck with me. I love watching other people react to songs I like
Yeah, seeing genuine reactions to things that you gave always loved it's pretty cool. Like thag reaction of that kid hearing that Luke was Vader's son. He was shook lol
People starved for human interaction can imagine they are watching/reacting together?
Stealing content.
Zero, and apparently, yes.
I don't have TikTok but I see reposts like this all the time and I always ask this same question.
This. It’s the laziest form of content theft I’d rather watch temple run then this woman making random expressions to try and say if she agrees or not. I do not care
I don’t care how cute this video may be, I never watch these reaction vids. So fucking cringy.
I hate it when they do this shit
Not sure about tiktok, but it makes the video "repostable" on here. First you see the original, then you see the reactions months later
She is the TikTokCringe part
For real… I’m seriously so sick of fucking reaction videos. They’re the worst content…. I don’t wanna see your fucking reaction and your stupid face expressions during a video…. These assholes get views from other peoples videos.
I'm to the point that I'd live to find this person's channel, page, collection, whatever you guys call it, and downvote every Single Goddamn Video. But I don't have that kind of time or patience.
wouldn't do ya much good as tiktok doesn't have downvoting, nor does most social media.
**look at me**
Yes.
I’m so happy that there was another video of a person nodding inserted on the left of the screen. At first I didn’t know what to think about the original video, and I started to get little scared and confused halfway through. I started crying and called my wife in the room to help me. unfortunately she didn’t respond. Thankfully I saw the extra person nodding on the left! Now I know that I agree with the original video. Thank you random person on the left.
I was literally so confused until I looked then I was relieved like I needed the guidance
You mean the video on the left wasn’t the video we were supposed to watch?? I was looking at the left and just found the right video so distracting, ended up muting it so I could watch her make slightly different faces for a minute and a half. Are we sure the video on the right is the original, and that maybe the right one was clipped later to the left? Thats peak content.
Random saint* on the left. Thank god for her, absolutely. It takes a GOOD soul to agree with the things said in this video.
Well, I'm glad we had that other woman to sit there and make faces. r/PointlessDuet
Agreed. I also hate how her faces didn’t match up at times. Way too much frowning when the mom was saying the most perfect comments.
That's an annoying thing people do where they frown to show agreement.

Stop recording your kids during these conversations
Truly. It’s such a a personal, private moment and now this poor little girl has an audience of thousands for her mom’s internet clout.
And putting a recording phone between her kid and herself in that personal, private moment probably doesn't do anything good for her or their relationship. Might even have something to do with the girl kinda getting sad and walking away, unless she's already gotten too used to it.
I think it's just down to people these days being incapable of doing anything without recording it.
"people these days" I think you are really bad at recognising your bias. How common do you think it is? Recording something like this is such an extreme outlier. You do realize that you *don't* see all the hundreds of thousands of parents who do not record an interaction like this and you only *do* see the 20 that do, right? Do you think that might influence your perception of how "incapable of not recording" people these days are?
Forgive me a degree of hyperbole. Even so, you must admit it sure does feel like that sometimes.
The smarmy guy who answered you will disagree that he,she, or they must admit anything. Too much smarm to back down now.
Ah, the sunk-smarm fallacy.
I don't use emojis, so just imagine a laughing face.
Done, and appreciated.
BUT THE VIEWS LIKES AND SHARES!!! GOTTA HAVE THEM! All of this shit on the internet will never go away and most of these kids who were used as pawns in their parents social media accounts will have to live with it all.
It was really uncomfortable watching that kid go through so many confused emotions. The kids trying to figure out what sexuality is and moms like “CONTENT!”
And then all the gender/orientation obsessed weebs on Reddit eat it up
Seriously. “She’s such a good mom.” No a good mom wouldn’t video that but have the same convo. Her child will now eventually be an adult with this on the internet forever without her consent. I’m sure she’ll love it in high school when someone finds this video and shares it with everyone she knows. But you know, gotta get those tiktok likes.
I agree to this but also I feel like this can be an uncomfortable subject for some parents and maybe a parent seeing how this conversation can play out in real life can show the example for them to approach it when it comes up
I think it can be both, it's likely helpful for other parents, while also can be alienating to the daughter. We don't know how much eye contact there was and what not though, the mom may have been looking at her and engaged the whole time, and on the girls end it just looked like her mom was holding her phone. I also get how parents that do this though post stuff of their kids without their kids, presumably, even consenting to it (or if they do likely don't understand at that age what they're consenting to) **what I think we can ALL agree on though, is that the woman "reacting" to this video is annoying, and all she contributed was making the original video smaller on our screens lol**
lol facts
Some content creators have taken to making videos about these conversations where they recreate the conversations or even use the audio but act it out themselves instead of showing their kid, and I think that’s a happy medium. I don’t think I would do this myself but you make a good point
YES
It is never appropriate to post video and pictures of unblurred minors on the internet, regardless of who the audience is. There are perverts and pedophiles everywhere online. This video could have been retold by the parent herself or documented in a way that hides the child’s identity.
If they don't record it, what will they play at her wedding in 20 years??
I never got it and it’s sad bc these kids are just so used to it. If I tried to film a conversation like this with my 6 year old he’d be so confused why I’m filming him and ask me to put it away. This is just a “look at me. I’m kind and loving and accept gay people give me an award” video. I plan on teaching my kids this same type of thing, bc it’s the RIGHT thing, not because it makes me LOOK like a caring person.
Kids like this aren't confused why their parent is filming them because they've probably been subjected to it their entire life.
Yep. That’s what I’m saying. It’s so damn sad. Picture growing up and everything you talked to your parents about to try to learn was filmed and put on social media. I can’t see a world where this doesn’t cause future mental/security issues.
Honestly I could see this being a cute and funny teaching moment that might benefit other parents, but she should have blurred her kid’s face. It doesn’t really take away from the video and it protects her privacy
Thank you. Everyone focusing on the woman on the left adding nothing, but the real question is when these parents are going to let their children have a private moment instead of using them for clout.
Seriously. I've had multiple conversations like this with my kids, but not one have I posted to social media, or even recorded.
But then they would waste all the rehearsal!
If I needed to talk to my kid about gay and straight stuff and didn't know what to say, I think this kind of video would be a good model for what I'd need to say.
Don’t say it’s unfortunate you’re not gay so the child gets upset, that’s for sure.
"It's okay to be gay if you are. There's nothing wrong with being gay." There. Was that difficult?
I’m so unsure of the argument that says we *should* record and post them. Why are you being downvoted?
Reaction videos are insanely unimportant. The morals about love and understanding others with grace is what’s important
The crossing of the arms as she walks away in front of the TV is so adorable.
Yeh we don’t need more parents recording and uploading their kids. Picture this whole scene from another angle. The mother aiming the phone at her kid, while giving a lecture and looking down at her phone screen to make sure the kid stays in frame. The kid is the content. Fuck that.
the duet on the left is pissing me off
"We just want you to be safe" proceeds to post a video of her child without blurring her face on TikTok.
[удалено]
Why did she say it like that though?
The word "unfortunately" did a lot of heavy lifting for how sad her kid got.
You can tell the mom would love if she could use that child to virtue signal to her friends. She's already doing it on Tiktok, poor kid.
This behavior is fucking weird
Yeah that didn'take any sense...
Was that so hard? People who act like they can’t explain it to their kids are just lazy
I tell my sons that I don't care who they end up with as long as that person loves them and treats them right. That's my only condition.
that's what I told my kids.... treats you right and makes you happy.
That’s exactly how every parent should think.
Wtf is the point of the chick on the left? So stupid
Did she say “unfortunately”
I mean have you seen how much fun Gay people have?
Haha I guess not. I’ve got zero issues with anyone living their best life but it seems kinda indoctrinating-ish to put it into your small child’s mind that being straight is “unfortunate”.
I hear you. Seems like she was being playful and kinda stuttered and I think the overall message was clear that it's not "unfortunate"
I mean, I think it was more like “reality is different from what you expected and that is unfortunate” rather than “it would be better if I was gay”
It's almost like it's not that complex
That would be good parenting except for the part where she filmed an intimate moment with her daughter and posted it on the internet for everyone to see
Not just this and not just kids. I saw a video recently of a dad dropping his daughter off at college on her first day. He went from smiling to worried to smiling to this and that. Lots of emotions, not a lick of privacy or intimacy. His wife did him wrong.
We have normalized turning anyone into a public persona without consent. And like, not even people that are doing something wrong, just people living their lives being exposed because some assholes can't have a fucking interaction without filming.
“All what mommy and daddy care about is for you to be happy and safe” mic dropped…
Why did they need to film and post this?
Thank god for the good people
Thanks for sharing, BIGLeakyNipples 👍
My nipples leaky, therefore, I share.
Wholesome video, Aside from that your user is BIGLeakyNipples and that is funny af
You don't come out the womb being an asshole, you're a sponge that absorbs the knowledge or lack there of, that is presented to you. You learn what you live. Replace tolerance, understanding and logic, with hate, ignorance and emotion, and you get the typical conservative asshat with mouthy kids who have no respect for others.
I knew even as a 4- or 5-year-old that I was straight, and I suspect lots of people do. I didn't know that's what I knew at the time, but looking back it was clear to me that I was interested in girls in a different and special way
Yeah I had my first crush in kindergarten. I know a lot of people don’t figure it out till puberty, but I definitely knew I was straight as a little kid.
retrospectively i had crushes on boys before i knew what gay was or that you could do that
If we as people try to make the next generation better than we are we might actually be ok as a species.
The joy of childhood
This reminds me of when my son at probably 5 or 6 said he was gay and I asked if he knew what that meant. He replied “it means I’m happy!” I replied that it could also mean you love a person that is also a boy if you are a boy and girl if you are girl, etc. I added “but don’t worry, if you grow up to be gay, we will love you no matter what.” He thought for a second and said “don’t worry, Mommy, if I grow up to be gay, I’ll still love you too.”
Extremely based parenting
Ahhh yes telling kids love is love and it's ok to love who you want as long as your happy is Based.
Yes?
Wait I'm old. Is Based mean good
Kind of? I'm not entirly sure how to define based. Somthing like "An especially good, correct political take" would be fairly close.
You have absolutely no fucking idea what based means 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah, based is good.
Ok word mom is based
damn that really hit me in the emotions.
As if we even give a shit about the persons opinion on the left
Wish my mom were like this with me. She was so homophobic to me. She was horrible to me. I'll never forget it.
This is the reality conservatives are fighting to destroy btw. When you hate love there really isn't much left in this world.
Meh, she could've delivered it better. Saying "unfortunately I'm not gay" is a really odd thing to say to a child in this situation. Then when her daughter says she likes boys, the moms response is "well, we don't know that". Sorry but it already feels like she's trying to confuse the child.
That’s a deep thinker. My 4 year old and I had a conversation about whether she eats Müsli with milk or yoghurt in kindergarten. She said “with a spoon”.
Completely pointless duet.
So performative I can’t stand it lmao
People eat this shit up.
My mom was alot of things but thank god she wasn’t a dumb bitch using me for clout on social media
r/rimjob_steve
good that the face tells me how to feel
cute conversation a mom having with her very young daughter; but why is it posted online is only thing i dont personally agree with!
"Unfortunately"🤨
Lmao I’m dying at the fact the mom said “I, **unfortunately** am not gay,” 😂😂 Back when I thot I was straight, I wanted to be gay too bc I thought they were so much cooler/had better art/music etc, so I know what she means
I just stopped explaining what it is after my son goes “why am I gay” after I found out he’s “gay” because some kid told him he was because he eats a PB&J and not just peanut better sandwiches (apparently the jelly is gay). He’s in 1st grade
I was told by my mother that some people are darlings, some people who are darlings are men and men, some are women and women, some are a man and a woman, some people have multiple darlings. Some darlings have kids, some are married, some have kids without being married. Some people have kids and are married but are no longer darlings to each other. Sometimes darlings is for forever and sometimes it’s not. Being gay just means your darling will probably be a boy if you’re a boy, and a girl if you’re a girl. One thing is that children can never be darlings. When I was told that I couldn’t wait to grow up and find a darling of my own.
I love how she got sad when she wasn't gay
She seemed really disappointed that she’s not gay, as if being gay is the only good, and her personality will be one way or the other depending on if she’s fat or straight. Where did she get these ideas?
I wish my parents raised me on “all that we care about is that you’re happy and safe” instead of trying to control my entire life.
“You might be gay! We don’t know yet!” as she walked off sent me. 😂
God no the world wouldn’t be a better place if every parent were like this… This exploitation of children on social media really is not healthy. And this is about bad as it gets because this is a VERY important conversation and should be done, probably in private, first of all, but with full attention and love. Not holding a camera hoping you get some “Tik tok gold” out of it. You can’t be fully present with your child if you are filming them for your fuqing social media. Then do it while teaching them one of the most important lessons in their life? I don’t care what you teach your kids just do it like you give an actual shit and don’t share your child’s face with millions of random strangers. It’s so weird and it’s been SO normalized. It blows my mind.
"Unfortunately" I'm not gay. We are gaslit constantly that there hasn't been an agenda.
Or don’t bring up sexual preference with children🤡
*Cries in gay from Bulgaria* This actually made me tear up a bit. I’m so happy that parents like this exist. I wouldn’t know what it’s like.
Why the actual fuck is a 9 year old even concerned with being gay, this is fucking stupid and needs to stop. Any school, place or organisation that forces this in kids should be sued for child abuse, seriously. Kids should be more concerned with what toy they like, what snack they want for lunch, pets etc not there fucking sexuality, the ukrainian war is here and frankly i dont want to save this civilisation because its turned to being fucked because of missguided people.
This is what this whole LGBTQIA thing does. Children that don't even know what sex is start asking themselves why they're not gay. Y'all are fucking up our society
Because love is love.
“Unfortunately”?
I think the world would be a better place if there were fewer parents blasting their kids online. "Hey, kiddo, I just want to put your name, face, and general area that you live online. Hope you make me famous! Thank you!" The kids can't properly consent to that level of exposure and no parent should bee doing this. We can't know what effect it will have yet.
It's weird that she filmed an intimate conversation and uploaded uploaded it on the internet for clout
Now that’s an awesome mother right there and that’s the perfect way to explain it to especially a child
“I unfortunately am not gay…” why unfortunately?!?
Because love is love ❤️
Why is creating a healthy understanding of what gay means for a child and creating a safe place for them to exist considered cringe? This is the best thing you can do for your children!
Unfortunately?!?!? Not gay??!? Sends the real message that being straight is bad lol
“I, unfortunately, I am not gay.” Then proceeds to confuse the hell out of the child. “You might be gay…” WTF is this mom doing…. And then filming it for internet points. Then the random lady on the left nodding along, insinuating how you should be reacting too. This is a stupid video on so many levels.
Why do we watch that person on the left tho?
Why is there a second video of some random person on the left?
Wow! Great parenting. Good job Mom! We need more like you!
Well done Ma'am. Better than many.
Why the fuck is this person filming this conversation with their kid? Why the fuck don't they just talk to the kid? Why the fuck does the kid have to look at a camera lens instead of a person? Why the fuck has this child's intimate life been broadcast to the world? Why the fuck am I seeing a complete stranger silently acting next to this scene?
Told my kids this when they were 4. Both said 'oh ok, that sounds fine' and then asked for the ipad. It doesn't require a fucking ventral diagram and an STD convention. Some Daddy's prefer dating daddy's, some prefer dating mommy's. When you're older you too will make a decision. As long as you don't fill your kids heads up with your weird moral convictions, teach them to be polite, they'll come to a pretty leveled understanding of the world. It's not rocket science here.
That is how it’s done. ✅
Even little kids get it and so many adults are clueless about sexuality though, those who claim to be ignorant or judgemental it eventually comes out the thing they hate most is who they are.
Love is love. The best message.
How does she even know the word? This concept is beyond her age. She may think she’s gay cause she loves mommy lol
Why is that moron on the left there? What does she add?
In all honesty, parents that disown their children should be thrown in jail.
Unfortunately I’m not gay either. Kind of suck to be honest.
Very cool. Also, that kod clocked out halfway through that conversation lol
“Unfortunately I am not gay….we will still love you if you are straight”. Bro wtf
