“Because of YouTube my DC…”

Because of YouTube my DD has spent our entire time at Disney World asking how many more hours until we can go to Walmart. Or Target.

£2K on park tickets and we could have spent the week in Walmart.

FFS!

My child uses bro to indicate the sentence is ending thanks to YouTube. Yours sounds more annoying though.

Beachsidesunset · 12/02/2023 18:53

Says zee-bra, no matter how often I correct her!

DaysofHoney · 12/02/2023 18:53

Oh yep, DS doing that too…!

Yep! Took DD to Universal Studios and she. went on and on about getting Bug Gulp from 7 Eleven. Walked along a real dodgy feeling road to find one. She was happy.

When ds was about 4yo he asked me to come and take notes for a craft project he'd found on a You-tube video.

Turned out it was called "how to make a nuclear submarine". He genuinely thought we'd be able to make one after watching the video. "It's only a small one, mummy. Only about 20m long."

I have bought a dehydrator and a pressure canner. Love them both.

TooBigForMyBoots · 12/02/2023 19:28

My DC says "bruh" and calls me traj.

Bobbybobbins · 12/02/2023 20:04

My autistic DS has memorised the rides at a range of theme parks across the world!

Got a pet snake. Got obsessed with snake discovery ok over lock down she does love her snake and her is lower maintenance than the guinea I always have to remind her too feed.

Wine4whine · 12/02/2023 21:19

Says "hay-er" instead of "hair" drives me mad! Believe it or not, we speak to her an awful lot in our very British voices so no idea why she insists on speaking like she's from the deep south of America or singing on a country record!

Is camping tonight in a friend’s garden as part of some ‘last in circle’ YouTube challenge. They are all nuts.

TheSnowyOwl · 12/02/2023 21:23

Takes the trash out into the yard.

Lkydfju · 12/02/2023 21:23

Says trash rather than bin and paci rather than dummy. I really want to ban it but (bad parenting moment here) at times it’s the only thing that keeps them entertained so I can get stuff done

Quirrelsotherface · 12/02/2023 21:24

Says 'yes, SIR' when anyone asks him to do something. Calls everyone bruh, including his DGranny.

TheMildManneredMilitant · 12/02/2023 21:26

Zucchini, eggplant, trash, elevator...you get the picture

Happysalley · 12/02/2023 21:27

Can bore the tits off me talking about Minecraft.

sanityisamyth · 12/02/2023 21:28

DS is banned from watching YouTube and he hates anything American.

JaninaDuszejko · 12/02/2023 21:30

Thinks a public school is funded by the state.
Thinks the word 'asthetic' means 'looks good' as in 'wow, your outfit is really asthetic'.

Pretty xenophobic!

Rollinghill · 12/02/2023 21:35

Oh my Janina so that's where DC get it from! Thanks!

LaMagdalena · 12/02/2023 21:37

Floor = lava

GloomyDarkness · 12/02/2023 21:38

“Because of YouTube my DC…”

Says gotten instead of got.

On plus side has learnt a lot of baking, art, history - especially cooking and clothes -and tech stuff and English language development though for a while when I first started hearing it did wonder if the trade off was worth it as it just so annoying.

LaMagdalena · 12/02/2023 21:38

Also asked to go to Walmart

TetherEndOfMy · 12/02/2023 21:42

My son is only 4 so not allowed YouTube, however, he does watch a couple of American cartoons (Netflix I think) and says garbage truck instead of bin lorry!

Comefromaway · 12/02/2023 21:46

Absolutely smashed his music theory module at Uni thanks to being so far ahead due to watching endless Jacob Collier videos on YouTube.
