My kid did normal kid stuff! I am desperate : Parenting

https://old.reddit.com/r/Parenting/comments/1f1oplp/my_kid_killed_a_frog_i_am_desperate/

Kid 8y killed a frog in the pond. He told, that he wanted to see if she has red blood. I am terrified. I had him assed at psychiatric ward. They Only confirmed ADHD. He received punishments (no screen time), we also apply natural consequences - we are not going to pond and to grandma's rural house any more. I talk to him, we discuss how the animal is hurt, what is death to the animal, what is to kill the animal. (Theme of human death and killing is with us every single day, so we discuss animals). We discuss how frog is the same alive as a horse or cat is. He agrees, but HOW CAN I KNOW, THAT he does understand? How can I get him to really feel, understand and not do this again?? I am lost, I do a lot, but don't see any result.

And this is yet another example of single mothers (note the total lack of mention of any male at all aside from the son) warping their sons. He does something a million other litle boys have and his true crime addict layabout of a mother rushes in with "natural consequences" and psych wards. She'll make him feel like shit for being a normal moid his entire youth and :marseypikachu2: when he grows up into a weirdo shutin and or disregards everything she has to say about anything.

everyone saying "this is developmentally normal" is incorrect. kids are supposed to develop empathy in their first few years of life, and psychologists say hurting or killing an animal at ages 6+ should be considered a "cry for help."

also, no, we didn't all "grow up killing animals." this is literally not normal nor should it be normalized.

1. Cute twink

2. What the frick would a psychologist know about anything? The entire field relies on the people they interrogate being entirely ignorant of all psychology. The moment you crack open the DSM and start reading you know what to tell them to keep them at bay. Throw in some good old fashioned "I don't answer questions" and they're defeated.

I love frogs :windowsxpfroguserlove::windowsxpfroguserlove::windowsxpfroguserlove: and would've never hurt them as a kid, this minimoid is a future serial killer guaranteed :marseyface:

Rain frogs are all over the internet but they're difficult pets to keep in reality. They're cute though! What's got him so mad? :pepereeeeee: :daydream:

This is an African Bullfrog. He has huge "lives on a diet of Hot Pockets" energy and looks too fat :marseychonker2: to care. No judgment here, African Bullfrog!

It's not their fault! They were put there and became an invasive species. In their natural habitat, the predators of cane toads have developed a stronger resistance too their toxins and will keep their numbers in check.

When I was a kid, I didn't really understand what worms were, they were different from bugs and animals, and for some reason this bothered me that I couldn't figure out what exactly they were supposed to be. So I decided to look inside the worm by ripping it in half to see if I could figure it out. I remember thinking its insides looked gross. The two halves of the worm wiggled like crazy and I suddenly realized something, "I think I just hurt this thing". I was freaked out by what I did. I threw it on the ground and ran to my mom. I'm glad she didn't act like I was crazy and just told me not to do it again, that's it's mean to hurt things, even creepy things like worms, she told me, and I told her I understood.

I don't think a kid doing this is automatically a serial killer in the making. Maybe most 8 year olds should already know but most 8 years these days suffer from arrested development and helicopter parents, so they learn things later than kids of the past. I also think it depends on how the kid killed the thing and how he reacted after. If the kid just stomped on the frog and then explained why he did it, he's most likely just r-slurred and his mom is way overreacting. If he was like, torturing the frog and then he later goes on to do it again, then yeah it would be time to worry.

edit: reading this mom's profile is a trip, that poor boy has no chance :marseygiveup:

They can fly.

And as the name implies (in German it's called 'Ohrwurm' lit earworm) it tries to crawl into your ear canal. So when you sleep outside in a chair or something like that they into your ear, sometimes to lay eggs into your ear mucosa.

They are an inspiration for the worms in Beastmaster which create Death Guards:

So apparently the foid nor her soon to be institutionalized offspring know about the "you eat what you kill rule." Certainly a lack of a positive male role model here

It's too bad that kid has no male role model to teach him about environmental stewardship.

He killed a frog, not a classmate. This is millennial parenting.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.

The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.

Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
