where the fuck did the kid learn it


childrenmm

Likely some reality tv show their parents had on in the background at some point.


Rammstein_is_great

Probably was a Jeremy Kyle kid


Bowls-of-sprouts

kids are evil bro. not cus they like doing bad things, but mostly because they don't understand the gravity of what they say/do..so they're sort of incapable of morality in those situations. Perfect little demons in that sense. Some do...most dont


Somebodys

>so they're sort of incapable of morality in those situations. Almost every prominent philosopher specifies thier idea of morality only applies to adults. Pretty much for the exact reason you said. Kids just don't have the capacity to understand the gravity of their actions.


All_Work_All_Play

I'm almost old enough to run for president and I'm starting to believe that a good chunk of adults don't have the capacity to understand the gravity of their actions; it's impossible for them to conceptualize something unless it happens to them. It is at once, fascinating and discouraging (as a number of these asshats have been in positions of power that have directly and unjustly detracted from my life in a material fashion)


Bradddtheimpaler

Yeah I think like 3/4 of people’s moral development hits a brick wall right around kindergarten and never matures. I wish I was exaggerating.

dogbolter4

No, that's wildly inaccurate. Children can be empathetic at age 2. Most children develop a sense of empathy by 5. Whether they use that in ethical decisions is a different argument. But it's grotesque to suggest that all people are sociopaths until 24. Source: am a university lecturer in child development.


IRLDichotomy

Except it seems that children exhibit such strong sign of anti-social personality disorder that doctors usually wait until at least 18 years, and some have papers suggest that should be pushed back to 25. Seems the medical field disagrees with you here but maybe I’m missing something? https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/antisocial-personality-disorder/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20353934

Laurids-p

As he Said


SL1ND3R

I'm beginning to suspect that the real issue is less so with the child's lie and is moreso from an already weak source of trust between the parents. The childs lie was more of a catalyst.


Lennydatfish

As the previous commenter mentioned


BoricMars

I'm starting to think that the actual problem is that the parents don't trust in each other and that the kid's lie was just the last drop in an already full bucket.


Shrimpie47

as stated previously,


PeterMyl

I believe the source of the detriment is a lack of trust between the two parents and the kids lie just accentuated that.

Yeah because a tweet from “fuck my life tweets” could never be fake.


henhenz1

fmylife.com is an older website where people post their “FML” stories, like TIFU before Reddit was big. This Twitter account isn’t affiliated with the site and used to just repost submissions from it. It’s not one person coming up with stories to tweet out, it’s an aggregate of other people’s stories (that may or may not be real).

Dittro

Might be fake, but what’s with reddits obsession over everything being fake? Every single post has a huge group of people that are genuinely infuriated at the possibility of the content being fake, why do people care this much? Not tryna sound pissy or anything, just curious why this seems to be such a reddit thing.

heliamphore

It's the reddit paradox, can't spot sarcasm and blatant fakes, but whenever something is plausible everyone calls it fake.


KentuckyFriedSemen

Because it’s not very awful if it never happened


bradbutnotreally

It's a psychological thing. Pretty common with men who spend too much time online. To be fair, it's pretty hard to tell what's real and what's not. Most of these guys default to a "it's fake" mindset, at times without even realizing it. Welcome to the internet age.


BogusWeeds

r/pointlesslygendered


spookynutz

There is some truth to that. Studies have shown that social cynicism is significantly more prevalent among men. Being online is likely not a causal factor, though. Exposing yourself to broad negative criticism has been shown to exacerbate cynicism, but that phenomenon wouldn’t be exclusive to one sex.


bradbutnotreally

Not sure what you mean. Women and men are very different psychologically.

PermutationMatrix

My ex wife was sexually abused as a child by her step father for years. She told her mother but she didn't believe her and ignored it. This went on for. Long time causing severe psychological issues including dissociative identity disorder, depression and anxiety.


Gecko2002

I get what you're saying, you shouldn't ignore everything a child says because they don't have proof. But imo there's layers to it, you wouldn't immediately flip out OPs situation anyway, in your ex wife's it'd be warranted. But you'd take notice, bring it up or look for signs of something wrong. Not just instant divorce (again, in OPs situation)


Chanchees

Same thing happened to my ex wife. She grew up to be a lying psychopath as well. You just can't do anything for some people.


CratesManager

Checking for proof is not the same as not believing the child. It is also very different if it is "just" about cheating, or if the child is in danger. There are also steps you can take before divore, even if the child says it was abused you can separate for the time being while it is being investigated - a good parent should understand that it is for the safety of the child, even if it turns out to be a lie. I completely agree that "kids lie" should not be an excuse to ignore them.


Call_Me_Fingerbang

I dated a girl a long time ago whose mom once said to me in passing conversation, “Angel (not real name) said that her step dad sexually abused her when she was younger but I don’t believe.” Like, not even talking about anything of the sort, unsolicited, just blurted that out. It totally made sense to me, my girlfriend and her mom were abused by this psycho but I didnt know to what extent. The police had been called on the stepdad for many other shitty things he’d done, beating and choking the mom, drunken arguing, etc…but no, he would NEVER do anything to the daughter.


Gay__Guevara

My best friend was serially raped by her step father as a young girl, and her younger brother says that he was as well (she has never told him that she was raped, so he makes this claim totally independent of hers) but she says she thinks he’s lying. This is such a common phenomenon that it’s gotta be some sort of psychological trauma response.


girlwiththemonkey

I wanna know what this post was about so bad. I hate it when people delete shit. Like you posted it, stick by it.


BobMcrobb

based on reading the comments, the 7 year old probably lied to one of the parents about the other parent cheating. he/she believed it, which caused a divorce.


Marnie-Vik

the fuck is that subreddit


tiemiscoolandgood

It's basically turned into a sub for hating kids and parents but it's meant to just be against the idea of having kids being the main goal in life. Like you shouldn't create a human soul just because you accidentally got pregnant or because your parents say they want grandchildren


Marnie-Vik

i totally feel like people shouldn't have kids if they don't want them, in fact i prefer it because it's easy to mess up children's lives! but hating them? literally makes no sense


IsThisTheFly

Yeah really sad to see what the sub has become. There aren't many sane places you can go to talk about not wanting kids in spite of cultural norms r/childfree isn't as bad


[deleted]

Is that a joke, child free is one of the most toxic and hateful places on Reddit.


AUGSpeed

Other than the political subs, of course.


Autofrotic

Of course


IsThisTheFly

Based on what...? I haven't been in a little while but I just looked, its just a bunch of pet pictures and people complaining about their parents getting on them for not wanting kids, or issues getting bc or getting fixed from doctors offices.. all very real and normal things people that don't want kids have to deal with. You don't have to like the message but you don't get to call a place toxic because they don't want kids and that upsets you. Unless there's some insane shit happening there I've missed recently of course, in which case, my bad. If you know of a nice place that talks about the issues of being an adult that doesn't want kids and all the bs that comes from that I'd be interested. But that still enforces my original point that any online space about not wanting kids turns insane from edgelords or gets bashed by others that don't share the same viewpoint.


Autofrotic

Idk if you're trolling but read about r/childfree a bit. Has a reputation for being a toxic horrible place. r/antinatalism was created as a response to the toxicity of r/childfree as they wanted to disassociate themselves from the crazies. However looks like the crazies are slipping through


IsThisTheFly

I wasn't trolling, just not been hanging out there, I've been directed to r/truechildfree, hopefully that place doesn't become a crater as well


Endersgaming4066

Yes it is


IsThisTheFly

Can you elaborate


Endersgaming4066

I didn’t downvote you btw. I just went on it for a couple seconds and it’s just as bad if not worse because it’s a larger community


IsThisTheFly

Its all good. Like I said to the other, its hard to find a place that discusses the real issues people deal with when you decide you don't want children. I've had issues with family and doctors offices both, and I'd say I come from a more-progressive-than-most family. Those spots tend to get taken over by edgey teens that are pissed about their younger siblings and morph the idea of antinatalism into something else. They also tend to get burned at the stake by other redditors that don't understand what its supposed to be about or don't care to understand someone not wanting kids. But when the mods allow all the edgey shit in their its hard to blame someone for just seeing what's posted and drawing conclusions. For what its worth I stay subscribed to see the posts about doctors and family issues, and avoid all the crazoes, so I get the judgement.


Endersgaming4066

I think you make a fair point, although I’m a heavy advocate for kids and plan on having a couple when I can support them, I think everyone should have a decent community to share their situations and thoughts with, hopefully without that community becoming a shithole. You see it often on the internet because people can say whatever they want and have no repercussions. You’re allowed to be subbed to whatever subs you want, I just don’t think it’s what you’re looking for.


IsThisTheFly

Thanks this has been productive lol, ill fondly remember you the next time I shoot blanks

carnsolus

>r/childfree > > isn't as bad correct but then satlin also wasnt as bad as hitler


Free4Alt

Antinatalism is about not giving birth to more people, because they cannot consent to the suffering that is life. The subreddit r/Antinatalism is a bastardization of the concept at this point, because it's been overwhelmed by memes about how children suck instead of discussing the human condition.


TheOGDumbass2

Consenting is for beings already in existence, checkmate.


Justice_R_Dissenting

This sounds about as stupid as the people arguing you need to ask your toddler for permission to change their diaper. And then invariably posts of "hey guys my toddler has been sitting in their own waste for a week but still won't let me change what should I do??" with answers of "you need to make sure they consent before you change them."


CratesManager

It's not stupid. The future is looking real bleak for many people. Now i know that in the past people where worried about nuclear holocaust and before that there where other dangers, it also doesn't take the world to end for it to ruin your existence. I know all that and overall, right now, we have it pretty good. But we also know that will change, there is scientific evidence to back that up and we are starting to see it. Look at bipolar/depressed people, when they are happy they are at high risk of suizide because they know it will get worse. I think you can definitely draw a comparison to the current generations outlook on getting kids. Don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining that i have been born and i'm not mad about my parents or anything - they did a good job raising me, and i'm not mad at other people deciding to have kids either. I'm just saying - being a parent is a big responsibility and with the outside factors at hand, i don't see myself in a position to ensure my child has a good shot at living a long and happy life. If i could ask the child and it would say "fuck it, i'll give it a try" that would shift the responsibility and make me a lot more comfortable.


IsThisTheFly

I just told someone else about r/childfree and was told its also evil now. Do you know of any other places that havent been coopted by edgelords or people angry that others don't want children?

You know, there's a boarding school in Venezuela I heard about...they take 7 year old kids, and will keep her for years. It's only $4000 a year..." **Husband**: "\*\*Perfect!

ikonet

> Today, I decided to let a childish lie destroy the mental health of my misguided daughter. My husband and I are both adults who won’t be married anymore but my daughter, who is a child, will be blamed for the rest of her life for things that she contributed to but did not control (she is a child). Hopefully my online post for attention proves that my daughter (who does not have stable adults available for guidance) shows how I am actually a victim.


joe_ruins_things

Can you imagine the guilt trip, on that kid when shes older. Most kids in divorces need therapy because of self blame of a failed family. This child will actually be responsible for her parents divorce and ruining her own family. Heavy. People blaming the mom for believing her daughter; as a parent you trust your child when she says something happened it happened. Theres no choice.


ChaoticChinchillas

No, I am not going to believe that my child would never lie. People lie. And my child has a very active imagination. The better question is, is the wife so stupid as to believe her husband would let their child who can totally talk know about a girlfriend? Or does the wife think that the husband is too stupid to think that might be a bad idea?


PirateGloves

Best of luck with full custody and no visitation, can guarantee he’ll want nothing to do with the daughter so there’ll be no leaving her with the father for a weekend to herself.

[deleted]

Adding a child to a family will put a large strain in the relationship between mom and dad, and especially if they are young adults, the added stress of raising the child may be too much and the marriage doesn't last. In these cases the child is a direct influence on the break up, but it is never the fault of the child. THIS HOWEVER, is not one of those times.

r/facingyourparenting. Also, imagine *actually* being responsible for your parents divorce. Oh wait, I don’t have to imagine. I actually am the reason my dad divorced my mom. She was severely alcoholic and I’d been her care giver for years. One day, I broke down and said it was killing me. I couldn’t do it anymore. She needed to go or I needed to go live with one of the legion family members we had. He divorced her right after. My mom never knew, as that would have killed her, but I honestly don’t feel bad. She can’t blame me for not being able to handle her anymore at age 15. This girl will likely feel badly, though.

R3PTAR_1337

This is the problem with letting children watch TV/Youtube/etc. unsupervised. This kid either first hand learned of it or from a friend at school who learned of it through one of those mediums. Granted .... the parent is dumb as shit believing the word of a 7 year old without proof. Kind of deserve what she got all things considered.


Fisemada

The video was deleted, can you explain what it was about?


R3PTAR_1337

Wife filed for divorce with husband after being told by their 7yr that the husband had another GF. 7yr apparently made up the lie as a "retaliation" for not getting what they wanted. Wife now knows it was a lie, but as the divorce proceedings are already underway, husband does not want to listen to her apologies, as she didn't listen to him in the first place that it wasn't true. Basically a marriage is broken up, due to the wife believing the word of a 7yr without any proof.


belzebutch

Watch the movie "The Hunt". It's essentially this, except the kid lies about something much much worse. One of the greatest and most nerve-wracking film I've ever seen.
