My daughters reaction to losing the internet

[OverVolt]

You look like that renz20003 when ATOT is down for maintenance, admit it :awe:

but youll at least give them unactivated android phones, right?

Don't be a tech noob. We use tablets now for that purpose.

I dont think thats funny at all, I think its sick.

I got like what, 40,000 posts? Still manage to read a short book every week. Or a novel a month. Still hit the gun range every friday, and I usually do a fix-it project when I'm out there.
Thats on top of school and homework and tons of studying.

Nope. Being addicted and crying when its gone is not cool, or funny. Thats kind of a problem. God help her when she's a tween and "needs" it.

Among your achievements having kids isn't there yet--they are very dramatic. I am sure millions of 4-5 year olds across the nation have cried when their electronic device was taken away temporarily

I thought this was hilarious, my daughter is only 4 and already addicted to the net.

Terrific parenting. Maybe you could do oxygen next and record and broadcast that, too. Psychological abuse? Just whip her--but record her being whipped and air it, too.

BTW, this will come back to haunt you.

My kids would be crying because everything we do is through the internet, but wouldn't be saying "internet"... Netflix, Roku channels, laptop, etc....They are 6 and 2, but they don't really know how it all works yet

Its a logical fallacy to assume people that have kids know what is best or even know what they are doing.
As is the fallacy people without automatically dont know anything.

Who ever was waiting for an overreaction... here it is

BarkingGhostar is parent of the century, by the way. You'd best listen to his gospel.

Edit: I had originally posted parent of the year, but upon further fact-checking it appears to be "parent of the century"

This took 31 posts? You've been tamed a lot ATOT.

I take you don't have kids. My son (4 years old) had a meltdown yesterday because the shirt he wanted to wear was in his bag at school. No other shirt was acceptable. Total meltdown. Kids are dramatic. They don't know how to handle disappointment.

Children are NOT little adults. They have to learn how to handle disappointment and loss. It takes time and that is part of growing up......

It has begun.

Looks like my 16-year old son when he gets grounded from the computer. I'm expecting this similar reaction tonight.

like most things in life you are also wrong on this.

i have no knowledge if the child is addicted. I will say children will have a breakdown over the silliest things. they have not learned to handle problems or when things don't go how they want.

how they handle it is to cry.

i have seen both my kids breakdown over silly things like a shirt being dirty, mismatched socks, etc.

Parenting fail! you should teach her to NOT text and drive!

 

[Fritzo]

Awwwww...I just want to give her hugs

 

[lxskllr]

Awwwww...I just want to give her hugs

And slip her a tablet.

Shhh, don't tell your father. Hide this under the mattress, and when he's being a dick and taking your internet, you'll have this as a backup.

That's nothing. Same reaction you would get taking away a 4 year olds Raggedy Ann doll. Try taking the internet from a 10-14 yr old. Rage city my friends. I have done it and my only regret is that I did not get video of it.

It's weird...your Daughter looks JUST LIKE my mailman for some reason....

Its a logical fallacy to assume people that have kids know what is best or even know what they are doing.
As is the fallacy people without automatically dont know anything.

but she's just acting like a 4 year-old. she'd react the same way if denied her daily treat. She's not upset that "the internet is gone." She's unable to deal with a change in her routine.

your fallacy is ascribing adult qualities in to the mind of a 4 year-old.

jesus dude, its obvious you have never even been around kids let alone have any. kids will cry because they only got one scoop of ice cream and not two. or because they only got to play for 10 hours on the swingset not 10.5

its just how they are. why do you think smart people dont want them?

I didnt.
But I do see your point.
