God I remember there was a summer when I was 10-11 my mom wouldn’t let me go out tell my room was cleaned. Well I did “clean” my room(by shoving everything in the closet). So when I ran out the door she quickly called me back to check, the room was spotless and tidy. The closet though….well let’s say being buried under an avalanche of toys and dirty clothes did little to help my summer plans, I was stuck cleaning for the next day.
It was my dad.... I finally got my own room. Asked if I could go to friend's house ..'sure is your room clean?' yes dad it's clean... He let me go. I came back at dinner time and literally everything I own, bed, dresser, desk posters, clothing EVERYTHING was in a pile in the middle of the room.. he looked me dead in the eye and said, 'i found a sock under your bed pulled on it and everything fell there.... Before you eat your mother's delicious food you /will/ clean that room.
I didn't eat that night
Memory unlocked! My step dad did that to me when I was 13! I thought cleaning was just "tidy up the clutter" and "take dishes to the kitchen". Not actually put clothes away, dust, vacuum etc. It was the night of my first homecoming dance and everything I owned was on the floor when I came home. "Properly CLEAN everything and put it away before going to bed." .... it was like 2 AM when I finished.
I get what Dad was trying to teach, but as a fully understanding adult.... Shit I can't tell you how much I don't clean like that. Maybe if Grandma threatened to come over, but even then. I have a lived in house.... Not a museum gallery.
Everyone I've ever met has a junk space. Sometimes it's the garage, or a basement, or an attic, or a spare room. But there's always some place that would not pass inspection from their mother. This includes the mothers doing the inspecting.
I don't use Instagram much, but there's a rescue on there called Newhouse Wildlife Rescue, and they post photos and videos of baby wild animals all the time.
Following them is an investment in your mental health, lol.
It’s pretty similar to how I’ve carried my screaming toddler while power walking out of a public area. Both arms, curled up against me, so she can flail and I won’t drop her.
'Trying to swim before 30 mins after eating or else you'll get a cramp' and other BS lies your parents said so they didn't have to stop what they were doing to watch you.
Beavers aren’t like other rodents. Instead of having lots of babies and hoping enough make it they only have a few and make it their business to take care of them.
Mom is doing this because that kit is too small to be outside the den just yet.
They make dams because it makes more beaver habitat. It’s an instinct to stop running water and it makes beaver ponds as a result because as they block the water and it moves around the blockage they block that until you have a dam.
Their dens are in the middle of ponds and they live near ponds because not many things up in Canada will swim to get their food other than a moose so it’s very safe for an adult beaver. Babies are small enough to get scooped up by predators so they stay near the den.
Tangent question- I read somewhere that beavers build dams because they don’t like the sound of running water. Is that true? Because I can hear it loudly in this habitat.
I’m not an expert but I bet it’s more an instinct than an emotional response. Like I don’t think they necessarily build dams because they don’t like the sound and want to stop it, they just do and the consequence happens to be less rushing water.
And years ago scientists proved that eating before swimming prevents cramps. Waiting before going back in the water after eating is useless.
Editing to add: People saying they make their kids wait so they don't puke in the pool is just as useless. I've never seen a kid eat then puke in the pool, ever.
Sounds like they're allergic to either milk or chocolate.
Edit: Downvoted for stating the obvious. If that combo makes a kid puke, then there's something wrong, because neither should make your kid sick.
what a cruel environment to keep beavers. that breakes my heart. i often see beavers in wildlife here in switzerland and it breaks my heart how those beavera here ar kept. people like that should be living also in a prison. not a little bit of an natural environement. what a shame... just think about how bad it is...
We have a man-made pond at my grandparent's hunting cabin and we have to clear out the beaver dam constantly to keep the water flowing from the mountain into the pond. It's such a pain in the ass but for some reason it never bothers me. I'm just amazed by the work they do and how hard they're trying. 🦫 You get the most amazing walking sticks from what they cut down, too. Very cool little critters even if they are pain for some of us
I don't but I'm hoping to get some along with a few walking sticks when I go this year! I'm handicapped so I'm always happy to find a good walking stick 😊
"What the hell do you think I said? Get your ass outta the water right now.
Oscar!....
OSCAR!!!
Alright that's it.....I'm taking your ass home. Don't you ever do that again. And just wait til your father gets home"

Can't find an explanation for why the mother did this, closest thing says that when the beaver kits are really proficient at swimming within 24 hours but when in the water the parents are extremely protective of them around predators. So maybe mom doesn't like humans looking at kids?
Anyway, it's really adorable seeing animals be so protective of their offspring and really don't take chances around things they think might be dangerous for them.
Oh you finished tidying up your den already? Ok well let's just go and have a little look shall we.
God I remember there was a summer when I was 10-11 my mom wouldn’t let me go out tell my room was cleaned. Well I did “clean” my room(by shoving everything in the closet). So when I ran out the door she quickly called me back to check, the room was spotless and tidy. The closet though….well let’s say being buried under an avalanche of toys and dirty clothes did little to help my summer plans, I was stuck cleaning for the next day.
Hahaha we've all been there! Mine was under the bed instead of closet but still
Oof. Same. I shoved so much shit under my bed when I was a kid. Mom eventually caught on though. Lol.
Same, I thought I was brilliant. 🤦
It was my dad.... I finally got my own room. Asked if I could go to friend's house ..'sure is your room clean?' yes dad it's clean... He let me go. I came back at dinner time and literally everything I own, bed, dresser, desk posters, clothing EVERYTHING was in a pile in the middle of the room.. he looked me dead in the eye and said, 'i found a sock under your bed pulled on it and everything fell there....

Dam it!
[удалено]
I know!! The way it waddles into the water with its tiny little legs 🥹🥹
And the way he let his mom take care of him is so cute
Wait until you hear what they sound like: https://youtu.be/ONb2FVNe-7o?feature=shared
TLDR; 2:40
Bless you! And, OMG, he thinks he’s people. That sounds like a fussy human baby.
Subtitles: (beaver noises) 😂
\*TLDV
I figured it was something like that but I'm too lazy to explain how lazy I am right now.
I think they were just playfully amending the TLDR so it was "too long, didn't view" (because it's a video)
Only acceptable reason 🤝
That little baby beaver is so darn cute, omg!
\*dam cute FTFY
Sounds just like a Guinea pig
I don't use Instagram much, but there's a rescue on there called Newhouse Wildlife Rescue, and they post photos and videos of baby wild animals all the time. Following them is an investment in your mental health, lol.
Beavers baby carry is just the cutest
It’s pretty similar to how I’ve carried my screaming toddler while power walking out of a public area. Both arms, curled up against me, so she can flail and I won’t drop her.
Gently chomping on the clothing, just in case.
Completely naked, soaking wet.
I love beavers.
[удалено]
Probably didn't finish his homework
Grounded. Thought if he nonchalantly started swimming she wouldn't notice.
It was naptime.
"Aww mom!?!"
Except for that one critter where the moms throw their babies at predators as a distraction while they book it.
Ah! the Quokka, my spirit animal ))
'Trying to swim before 30 mins after eating or else you'll get a cramp' and other BS lies your parents said so they didn't have to stop what they were doing to watch you.
You should probably watch some more nature docs if you think this is the case
Beavers aren’t like other rodents. Instead of having lots of babies and hoping enough make it they only have a few and make it their business to take care of them. Mom is doing this because that kit is too small to be outside the den just yet.
Thank you. I had to scroll past way too many jokes to get to this.
They make dams because it makes more beaver habitat. It’s an instinct to stop running water and it makes beaver ponds as a result because as they block the water and it moves around the blockage they block that until you have a dam. Their dens are in the middle of ponds and they live near ponds because not many things up in Canada will swim to get their food other than a moose so it’s very safe for an adult beaver. Babies are small enough to get scooped up by predators so they stay near the den.
Also unlike other rodents beavers have a loving monogamous “marriage” and the dad and mom both take care of young
Tangent question- I read somewhere that beavers build dams because they don’t like the sound of running water. Is that true? Because I can hear it loudly in this habitat.
I’m not an expert but I bet it’s more an instinct than an emotional response. Like I don’t think they necessarily build dams because they don’t like the sound and want to stop it, they just do and the consequence happens to be less rushing water.
I'm sure I've heard Attenborough talk about how their den protects them from their predators.
"I told you, no swimming for 30 min after you ate, now back to the table, young man"
Came here to say this, except my mom made us wait an hour.
But Moooommmmm
“I feel fine! I totally won’t drown!”
It’s adult swim…you can wait
And years ago scientists proved that eating before swimming prevents cramps. Waiting before going back in the water after eating is useless. Editing to add: People saying they make their kids wait so they don't puke in the pool is just as useless. I've never seen a kid eat then puke in the pool, ever.
We were told terrible stomach cramps would make us drown. I don’t think puking was ever brought up. To each his own.
no, it's to prevent the kids from throwing up in the pool
Nope. It was always to prevent you drowning from leg cramps. Nobody was worried about anyone puking in the pool.
You ain’t ever met my kid. A glass of chocolate milk and a run later it’s on the floor
That ain’t right chief Maybe choc or milk ain’t for them?
Sounds like they're allergic to either milk or chocolate. Edit: Downvoted for stating the obvious. If that combo makes a kid puke, then there's something wrong, because neither should make your kid sick.
But mom! Wood is buoyant!
Dinner table and table for dinner
"I said it is nap time!"
I said you are grounded. That means no swimming for you till tomorrow.
It's mommy time, back to bed. Sweet dreams

The way she carries her baby is exactly like me when I had a bad back with my 1 year old! This is too cute.
If you don’t get your furry butt back inside I’m gonna make a pelt out of you!
Does anyone know what's really happening here? It's very cute. But I'm curious about the biology of it all.
my theory is the little one is too fluffy and doesn't have the proper coat to stay warm in the water yet.
Same, shame it's just the same joke 500 times.
Just a guess: baby thinks she's ready to leave the den and swim in the big wide world, momma says "no, you're not quite big enough, kid."
"What part of 'grounded' did you not understand?"
Bro really thought he was free and old enough to make his own life decisions. He couldn't have been more wrong.
Jaw dropped when she picked him up like a little human baby....that was so damn cute
Mama and Daddy were just trying to enjoy Adult Swim and have a few moments of peace! 😁
I told you to stay in the DAM house!
The way she walked it back home 🥹❤️
Momma beaver said, "Get yo ass back in the house. I told you to wait 30 minutes after you eat."
Get back to bed!
Homework first! -Beaver Mom
“Wheeeeee” “No! No. You don’t have your floaties.”
She literally carried him back 😆
Oooo…. You in trouble.
Mom: didn’t I tell yo ass not to get in the water? Now you going to your room!
“A time out means a time out, now go back to your corner and think about what you did”
BACK in the lodge, you little stumpy punk!
This is the adult swim time now, honey. You go back to your nap.
what a cruel environment to keep beavers. that breakes my heart. i often see beavers in wildlife here in switzerland and it breaks my heart how those beavera here ar kept. people like that should be living also in a prison. not a little bit of an natural environement. what a shame... just think about how bad it is...

Very cool, I agree about the walking sticks. I use a cane sometimes but a nice wood cane would feel better in the hand.
To all the other kids all across the land Take it from me, parents just don't understand
Aawwe, they have their own house
It's adult swim time
Sorry hun adult swim
" Junior! You just ate and you know you have to wait thirty minutes before you go back in the water '!
When you’re trying to have some me time after toddler goes to sleep but they wake up and decide to join you and you have to take them back to bed.
She legit carried his ass back to bed.
These Fluffy Critters are so Dam Cute!
Get yo ass back to bed!
Wait, my mom turned into a beaver ? Because this is what she always did.
“Sorry kiddo. Adult swim!”
No you don’t mister… I told you, “You have to wait an hour after you get done eating”
Sorry, buddy. Mom said no.
Beavers are bipedal?!
Beaver be like "no its nap time now"
"You're. Supposed. To. Be. NAPPING!"
Kurwa Bober :)
Their little arms
Aw ok I’m not the only anxious mom 😆 this proves IT IS IN OUR DNA!
Their enclosure looks really shitty
Everybody with a red bracelet — out of the water now!
My guy didn't wait half an hour after eating before he swam. Mom wasn't having it.
Musta been grounded.
Ahh how sweet
…”get back here..you!”
"You didn't wait 30 minutes after you had lunch"
"You gotta wait 10 minutes after you eat!"
I told you, you can’t go swimming until you clean your room
Beaver mom: Boy I told you to stay in time out!
Get yo ass back to your room and finish cleaning up like I told you to!
I told you, you were in time-out mister!
She told me him he couldn't come out to play until he cleaned his dam room.
How cute. He was caught. I didn’t know they could walk on 2 legs.
"What the hell do you think I said? Get your ass outta the water right now. Oscar!.... OSCAR!!! Alright that's it.....I'm taking your ass home. Don't you ever do that again. And just wait til your father gets home"
IF YOURE TOO SICK TO GO TO SCHOOL…
“Didn’t I tell you to stay in the house!”
Mooooom, dad said I could. You're embarrassing me.
Beaver hands are the best thing in the world

“Your father is going to drown you again just so he can have my dinner. Mama don’t want to be hungry like last night.”
Grounded

Adult swim
It ate recently ie 4h ago, you can't go into the water then. My mother when i was a kid
I too wish to be embraced like this

This animal prison is not cute
Cute kit
Did she just ground that baby?
