To not understand why you would be proud of posting this video online?

2 year old telling her Mum off

It's obvious that the 2 year old is copying what she has herself heard; where else would a 2 year old learn 'That man will take you away?' Etc.

I don't understand why parents are proud of these videos, I think that they need to listen and reflect on themselves.

She is a very sweet girl but she shouldn't be repeating things like that at 2 years old.

AIBU?

[NumTumDeDum]

Nope, you are not being unreasonable. I don't understand it either.

[lylasmam2012]

I found little bits funny, but overall I was horrified. She's so aggressive, I would not be happy with her behaviour at all, but sadly it's a learned one. I can't believe her mother just sat there laughing.

[LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726]

Because the mum is wanting to have comments like, "Awww shes gorjussss hunni".

I don't understand it either.

[HelpMeGetOutOfHere]

I saw I and thought no way would I be filming it and laughing. I'd be ashamed if my child spoke to me like that.

[Nancy66]

she sounds like she's possessed by the spirit of the Rev Ian Paisley

[Shockers]

@ Nancy!

[lostinindia]

No, I didn't find it in the slightest bit funny. Her Mother must be really quite horrible to her at times.

[Serenitysutton]

She sounds horrible. I would be embarrassed if my daughter spoke like that

[BunnyLebowski]

I watched this yesterday and felt the same OP. It's the same with that other horrible ice bucket challenge with the toddler swearing. How charming .

Why are they proud of their child talking like that?

I can only imagine the wee girl hears the same things said to her all the time .

[Fenton]

Eek no, I would not be showing that, most of all because it obviously reflects how the parents speak to their child 'the man will take you and no-one will ever see you again'

yikes.

[Fenton]

Do you remember the 'Linda, wait' one - that was funnier but still showed the parents up somewhat.

[Trollinthedungeon]

Thank you for your replies, I'm glad that you're in agreement.

I was equally horrified!

I haven't seen or heard of that Fenton, what happened?

[Fenton]

here it is, Linda, honey listen..

[youmakemydreams]

You need to watch the interviews with the mum of linda honey listen.
He had picked up different parts of the way the whole family speak to each other.

I actually don't get the big shame about that video. And am a bit about it being totally learned behaviour. Ds2 could give her a run for her money and I've NEVER said any of those things to him or hus brother and sister ever. He's just got a quick brain and a quick mouth on him and remembers things other people have said.

[velveteenbunny]

Can't believe she hit her mother a few times and they just laughed.

[Fenton]

I couldn't comment on your child, but I would have to say that whatever the two children above have been exposed to is too much for their young brains IMO.

And what's wrong with 'you don't speak to me like that' versus laughing about it and sticking in on youtube?

[LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726]

That 'Linda listen' one is equally dreadful. What on earth is funny about a child going on and on like that? It is learned behaviour, it's learned from somewhere and it's obnoxious. I wouldn't have a camcorder in my hand nevermind posting it.

[corkgirlindublin]

awful awful awful. I didn't watch it the whole way through. Naughty steps, threatening to choke her parents, hitting, saying the man will take you away. Her parents should be ashamed. Its not remotely funny

[Fenton]

I've just read back my thread and want to make it clear, I WOULDN'T laugh about it and post to youtube, I WOULD discipline the child for being disrespectful.

[Fenton]

not thread, post

shutup Fenton.

[Username12345]

Found it hard to hear what she was saying.

Did I hear this right: 'I'm going to punch you in a minute'

[farewellfigure]

I don't like videos like that one bit. I can't stand the ones where the children are swearing at the parent while they're telling them off. It just speaks volumes about what the poor children are hearing at home day in day out. It's horrible and I certainly wouldn't post a video of my ds speaking to me like that. Well, he just wouldn't anyway!

[Trollinthedungeon]

I agree that 'Linda, listen' isn't any better.

I will never understand why they post this, let alone finding it funny.

[phantomnamechanger]

what is wrong with people
