What the fuck? How long will it be before parents place their kids in bubble suits from infancy and until they’re 25?

Wait till you have a kid man. It’s insane what you see some of the other parents doing. My wife’s cousin won’t take her baby with her shopping because she’s afraid of kidnappings. In Lancaster. :bloated: We went over there one night for dinner and my daughter was just learning to stand, so she’d stand for a few seconds then plop on her butt and laugh. First time she does it my wife’s cousin runs over going “is she ok” all worried. The kid is laughing and trying to climb back up the coffee table to do it again. Some parents are just insane and intent on raising the most socially akward overprotected kid the world has ever seen. ---

Thank god for bully’s in school, because without them, these kids won’t learn a fucking thing. I can’t believe how much things have changed just since I was a kid. My sister is 12 years younger than me, and I want to slap the shit out of my Dad and Step mom for the way she’s being raised. If I did half the shit that she did, I would have a lot of scars to tell stories about. ---

When I was a toddler, my mom left my dad in charge while she went to the neighbor’s for a tupperware party. Apparently my dad took his eyes off me for a split second, and I was drinking the can of baby powder like a bottle. He freaked out and called poison control, but they said I would be ok. I turned out pretty normal… right? ---

says its in lubes too, does that mean repeated use of condoms can lead to the inability to have kids, thus making the use of a condom useless and costing the companys millions? bwahahaha
