seriously, people like this should not be parents.Is this bad parenting. continuing to laugh at your 2 yo while she screams her head off?
Someone needed to be disciplined not taped.Is this bad parenting. continuing to laugh at your 2 yo while she screams her head off?
This was very disturbing. The mother was sadistic and the child was an upset little brat having a tantrum. The mother should have put down the camera, calmed down the child, and ended it there.
bloody hell. I don't think she wants her picture taken!





Edit: i suppose it'll be good footage for her 18th birthday party. lol.
oh my goodness.
did you notice that person disable any comments to that video..that was just wrong..there was nothing wrong with that..when that child said she didn't want to take a picture the mother should have stopped..that was wrong!
Seriously, this parents need to teach some discipline. She was acting like a brat....not wanting her picture to be taken, is not enough reason to act the way she did and the parents are just encouraging it by laughing and getting video of it.
Yes it is because she thinks she is doing something funny and will keep doing it
I think what the parents did was plain wrong. Laughing at the tantrum is just bizarre. I think it was being very mean to the child.
Were you really looking for an answer? If you were than here it is, but before I give it, let me say that I am a mother of 3, a teacher and I am currently finishing up my child psychology program in order to open up my a private practice shortly, along with being a child advocate for 15 years.





If this is ongoing behavior when your child throws a temper tantrum than yes, it is not good parenting. If this was an isolated incident, than you made an unwise choice in how you responded to your child鈥檚 tantrum. With that said, do not think for one moment that we and I speak for all mothers, have not made unwise choices in our parenting.





As far as publicizing it, that is a personal view and not the question you ask, so I will leave my thoughts on that issue to myself. Don鈥檛 beat yourself up to badly or allow others do it for you, just remember that you are human, as are all of us, and sometimes it is better to stand back and review a situation first before we act.
I would reason a guess that the video was staged
that is kinda disturbing...
Okay first off the child is 2 and a half and acted like that because she REALLY didnt want her picture taken. She does not need disaplining. if someone was trying to take a pic of you u would do anything so they wouldnt even throw a paddy if you thought it would work. That little girl was really upset and you could tell she really didnt want her pic taken - so why not stop? I dont think the woman should not be a parent i just think she shouldve taken into consideration how her daughter felt.


Shes feels if she throws a paddy she will get her needs met, as most toddlers and babies do. She didnt want her pic taken!
i think what is worse it that she is posting her daughter on the internet for perverts to see her!!!
yeah there are plenty of folks who should have got sterilised at birth!
That was disgusting. Clearly this woman was more concerned with getting video coverage than she was about he daughter. You could tell that the child wanted her MOTHER, not the dam n camera in her face AGAIN. There weren't any words of reassurance, or anything like, '; smile pretty so we can send a picture of you to grandma';. She just stood there LAUGHING. WTF???? Does she even take care of her child or does she sit with a camcorder stuck to her eyeball all day long? I'm floored. Wow.
I don't see the big deal, I laughed. I don't agree with putting your kids on the Internet though, unfortunately, men can be sick and you have to keep yourself and your kids safe from perverted, sick men.
It's taunting the child.





I wish sex was more difficult so people this dumb wouldn't be able to figure it out!





She spelled their ';there.';





God help us all.
dam that girl is crazy !!! and the mom 2 i think the girl is sceared of the camera
Yes, it's bad. An adult should never antagonize a child, especially when that child is already having an emotional meltdown!! Parenting is about doing what's best for your child even when it's difficult. Treating a child this way only encourages the tantrum and leads to future emotional problems.





As a parent, it is your job to provide a SAFE place for a child to express their emotions and to teach them to deal with their negative emotions appropriately. If a child doesn't have this, they will grow up into emotionally immature adults that have outbursts etc. when they don't get their way!
You know, it's not even funny. It's annoying. I don't even know why parents think that their kids are so damn cute that they have to share their antics with the rest of the world. I stopped watching after about ten seconds into the video.





These parents are retards: they should realize that laughing at their children's despair may make for problems later down the road. She'll probably end up being a serial killer or laughing at them when their 89 years old and lying around with a feeding tube. Karma wears heels--and she's a Beeeyaatch!
It's a shame when parents have nothing better to do. I have seen stuff like that on America's Funniest Videos and often wonder why they would even play them on that show, being that it's not even funny. It's actually stupid. Nobody wants to watch a kid having a major conniption caught on film. LOL.





I wouldn't call it bad parenting... just a lack of a few brain cells. As someone else said, it's taunting the child, and that's just not nice.
you have to be a parent to understand where this parent is coming from,,,,yes the child is tantruming...and yes the mother is laughing,,,what should she be doing yelling crying,smacking -i dont think so....peolple cant win these days ,,,she wasnt hurting her child,,and kids will be kids..its not normal if a child doesnt tantrum now and then,,i am sure this is not how she would deal with it on a regular basis..come on wouldnt you rather laugh than cry,,and the child is not in any harm,,sometimes the more you try and control a tantrum the worse it gets...
yeah, wow, they are just like me!! i did that too, but that was before i gave them all away
Give me a break.. this is all in good fun. The child is not in danger she isn't going to ';die'; from screaming and throwing a fit.





People should not judge others..





oh and btw I have 30 + videos of my baby on YouTube not to mention she has her own website with over 2,000 pictures posted.. I am not scared that someone will see her online!!








Edit.. oh yea so wrong for a mother to do something a child doesn't want.. so next time my 10 month old doesn't want to have her diaper changed I shouldn't change it? Or how about doesn't want to eat her veggies.. should I give her icecream instead? WOW people take things way to seriously lets focus less on the things that DONT hurt our children and more on the stuff in our country that is HURTING THEM!
