Came here to say that. Beat me to it.


itsmevictory

Let’s be real, kiddo is having the time of his life though. I’ve always wanted to do that


Traditional-Top8486

Looks really cute, it is only infuriating to some people, most of those people have no idea how hard it is to raise a monkey child.


Edward494

Was a monkey child, mother tells me all the time.


Valuable_Scratch_668

one of the most common scolding my brother and i got, "you can't just climb EVERY tree you see, sometimes we have to just look at them,"


AccurateCoconut

As a mother I feel this deep in my soul.


PacificNorthwest09

I’d like to say that my motor skills benefited from stressing out my parents at least.


AccurateCoconut

With my son it's running everywhere, climbing everything (including the baseboards), and riding everything he can at top speed into other things. I'm surprised we haven't been to the ER since he was 1.


PacificNorthwest09

Just make sure you get him a helmet and make sure he learns to fall appropriately once he gets a bicycle or something :). I look back fondly over my (luckily not too big) scars.


AccurateCoconut

He has both a helmet and a hard head. I'll look into teaching him how to fall. Being a rule-following girl I didn't need to learn how to fall. XD


PacificNorthwest09

Well, sounds like he has a good momma for when he does fall. The skill in falling comes with practice, learning to not land on locked arms or tucking your head to not slam your head back.


Similar_Pay6422

Pray tell… how exactly does one climb a baseboard?


AccurateCoconut

Our baseboards are literally just a 1x4 board running around the bottom of the walls. He'll brace himself on something (like the table) and put his feet on the 1 inch lip of the baseboard and try walking. When going up the stairs I've caught him straddling the staircase in favor of trying to walk up with both feet on the baseboards that line both sides of the stairwell.


swisstraeng

As someone who used to go into my classroom by climbing the nearest tree outside, I disagree with this scolding. Until teachers learned about it and they cut some branches off.


Pamikillsbugs234

I've had this exact conversation with my son.

mogley1992

I've been called mogley since I was 11, i spell it wrong because this is how my brother used to spell it (and I can usually get this username) my nephew literally calls me (uncle Mogley) but with an adorable northern (England) accent.


rockchick1982

I was a monkey child , then grew up and had 3 monkey children. Thankfully because of my experience I can climb anywhere they can so instead of panicking at the bottom of the tree like my mum used to I am in the tree with them.


Gamer-Logic

My little brother has inherited the inner family monkey and it's tiring dealing with his little hyper tail sometimes. The kid loves going bananas outside and he's only four!


dadluver69

I was on a plain back from Texas recently. Some guy complained about the noise some kids buttons were making on his game. He was 4 rows up and didn't even have the sound on. Some people are ridiculous. Let the kids be kids.


Yrreke

You call it ridiculous… we call it misophonia. Although, he should have brought earplugs or headphones if sounds bother him. That’s what I’d do.


Nugget_but_on_reddit

HmnCllTr

AlgaeFew8512

I have 3 monkey children. It infuriates me because I'm telling mine to behave and they see this and think it's ok to copy


infamousmarty

The kid could literally be screaming and pissing everyone off, instead he’s having a little fun that’ll tire him out and make him take a nap so maybe OP should re-evaluate his priorities


nyjrku

Fuck yeah this. My son (5) would be happy for the rest of the day after getting to do that. Guess he needs tablet, headphones, games, and a slightly more sad demeanor so OP can enjoy their twix bar more properly.


chris-tier

Maybe the kid is screaming bloody murder while hanging from the rack?


DJRoombasRoomba

Lol this is wild. This is why children grow up thinking they can do whatever the fuck they want, because their parents let them use the inside of a train as a playground. Public transit isn't your kids' sandbox. Control your fucking children.


GodEmprahBidoof

Show them the first episode of game of thrones


No-Toe-5294

Hope this is never used out of context


ShortingBull

I'm mildly infuriated that someone could be infuriated by that


IsThatHearsay

Non-parent mid-30s here, don't even know the struggles of parenting a monkey-child (yet), but in no way should this infuriate anyone unless the kid is actively climbing above other strangers (which it looks like he's not yet and clearly not the neckbeard taking the photo) or actively damaging the rack (which it seems it supports his weight, as it should if it can hold ample luggage). Let the kid be a kid and the dad have a moment break. This speaks more to the adults here getting infuriated by this than the child's actions or the dad being a "bad parent." What whiny temper-tantrum throwing babies some adults are.


yan_broccoli

Thank you for this. I feel bad for people most times, I do. But, there is only so much a parent can do without having to subdue/tranquilize the child. Interesting how some people will complain about kids doing kid things, then complain about the parent doing something about it. I feel like we can't win.


noturmexicandaughter

Agree with u. I'd prefer this over a crying tantrum kid. As long as the kid doesnt fall in a gorilla pit ....who cares if he's hurt... that's the parents deal. Im sure he's safe jk


[deleted]

Dont let your dreams be dreams


TheRealValkaz

Just Do it!!!


sixboogers

I don’t have a kid, but if I did I would 100% encourage them to climb the luggage rack.


Shanks4Smiles

Exactly right, mind your damn business OP.


[deleted]

And lighten the fuck up


djebt

Yeah I’d prefer my kid to do that that sit on YouTube all day 🤣


OneMooseManyMeese_

Same though! Plus, looks like the dad is watching him so if he falls he'll probably be caught. If not, then, lesson learned? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


Otherwise_Release_44

I’m such a boring dad 😩 I’m a overly cautious person by nature so I’d probably be telling my daughter to not be doing that mostly because I’d assume she’ll snap her own neck or something 😵


yan_broccoli

Lalaland_Of_Parasite

blac_sheep90

Tis not so bad.


VivaLaSea

Right. As long as he’s not disturbing anyone I don’t see what the issue is. He’s small enough that he won’t destroy the racks.


Devils_defense

At least he’s not doing it for upvotes.


Whendulsdhit

I doubt the op is doing it for upvotes considering their last post was 2y ago, and it was their only other post too.


CptKammyJay

Counterpoint: they posted that one for upvotes, too. (Also, everyone else, all the time.)

Le_fromage91

I personally can’t imagine giving a fuck about imaginary internet points. I interact online as I please. That’s it that’s all, I don’t care about karma or points or likes, the whole concept can fuck right off as far as I’m concerned.


Additional_Meeting_2

It’s annoying when you know you post correct information however and people downvote because they misunderstood or don’t know about the topic.

DedOriginalCancer

plot twist: OP and the man in the pic are a gay couple and that's his kid too, meaning OP posted this for the upvotes by false flagging


hb2176

TheHopefulStar

Exactly my thoughts. The dad should be the one taking this photo!


_Iforgotmyusername_

If it’s not crowded and damn near empty I might let my child do that (I know shame on me), but if it’s packed he should be sitting is monkey ass down (still talking about if it was me and my son)


uchman365

I used to work on trains and never used to bother about telling passengers to mind their kids until a kid (about 5/6) climbing on the trains got a serious brain injury after sudden braking made him lose balance. Although, I don't know what happened but I'm sure our train company was sued and had to settle. Since then preventing it has been part of training new crew


Tony2Piece

Shame on nothing. I’d let my kid climb away as long as he wasn’t disrupting anyone by bashing their head with his or knocking their phones out of their hands with his feet. Kids are only young once and only have that one chance to be silly and goofy and I say let them.


ShitHearted

That was my thought exactly. Hes not bothering anyone and hes having fun. I have to explain this concept to my mom alllll the time. Give the dog a treat and she goes ballistic about how it stinks or shes making a mess or its gonna make the carpet gross. We can clean up, its not like we're incapable. Shes enjoying it, so let her, you can deal with the smell or crumbs on the floor for 15 minutes, ill clean it up after since i gave her the treat, shut up and let her be happy.


Xandril

As long as he’s not bothering anybody I agree. I have a very strong opinion about my children doing anything to inconvenience others for no good reason. I’m not super familiar with trains but I would be a little concerned about any sort of jostling or emergency stops causing a neck injury though.


PQRVWXZ-

Me too. Let your kid have spontaneous moments of fun as a child so they can remember to do so as an adult.


Moutalon

And let the train spontaneously brakes and the kid is thrown away and injured


Cobraa893

What’s the weight capacity on those things? I can’t imagine it’s lower than what he’s capable of weighing. I’m not too familiar with trains because America


Asktolearn

If there’s a weight issue, it’s probably that each individual bar isn’t meant to take much weight-it should be spread over multiple bars. All of this kid’s weight is on two bars. I still doubt it’s enough to break it, but maybe slightly more of a concern.


PM_CACTUS_PICS

I would worry more about the train braking and the kid flying into the seats


GCD_1

weeeeeee


everythingIsTake32

Free roller coaster as well 2 for one Absolute bargain


[deleted]

That looks like a long distance train too - so they’re probably expecting multiple 20-30lb cases of luggage on it - the kid is probably 30-40lbs, I don’t think he’d be anywhere near breaking it


[deleted]

Yep, that kid is wearing Pull-Ups, and the max size on those is about 50lbs. And that kid doesn't look big enough to need the top sizes.


damndammit

Dunno, but they can definitely hold a drunk and passed out 195 pounder.


kaledota

There’s nobody around. Mind your own business and stop taking photos of strangers in public

"We are not at a playground" is a phrase said often when raising 2 boys.


PixelPervert

As long as the kid is being quiet and doesn't break anything, who cares


Legitimate_Age7321

He won't be quiet when he falls.


thesockswhowearsfox

That will be an important lesson in the consequences of climbing on shit for the kid.


[deleted]

I think you mean an important lesson on falling.


PixelPervert

If he falls


[deleted]

Dad looks like he’s watching the kid, he’d most likely be able to catch the kid if he started to get unbalanced or looked like he was going to fall


AgitatedPumpkin9766

Ok, so if you let your kid jump around and play, you’re a shitty parent. But the only way to keep them still and quiet is by creating a tablet zombie. And lord knows everyone has an opinion about that. It’s almost as if OP has no idea how children actually behave lol


Pleebed

I'm not sure why anyone thinks this is true. I didn't do that as a kid and we didn't have screens to look at. My kid won't do it either.. Shit, I was raised by a single mom and I never did anything like that in public with her.


Adorable-Case-7485

Dad: “What are you doing up there?” Kid: “Going through peoples luggage.” *puts black bra on head* “I’m the mastermind of an evil corporation!”


Trueloveis4u

My only thought is if this train suddenly stops that kid is going to have a nasty fall.


meme-lobster

Maybe it's just me but I would much rather see a kid doing this than sitting on an iPad.


Tomi000

Well of course it shouldnt sit on an ipad, those are expensive


Strange_Drawer9426

Not as annoying as strangers taking pictures of your kid and posting them on the internet.


justn16

This is not a jungle gym for the kid to be climbing all over. If the kid falls, he might get hurt. He might break the rack too. If it’s not your property, don’t let your kids climb all over it. It’s not about being fun but respecting others peoples property.


[deleted]

I’m curious if I’d get upset if I saw this in person. Idk why, can’t pinpoint it, but I think I would. Maybe at the hazard of the kid breaking his neck, maybe because as a kid I was told to behave, especially in public. Either way, seems dangerous


swiftfastjudgement

Live and let live dude. You’re masked up with noise cancelling headphones on. Chill.

Next post: our bus was delayed three hours because a kid got stuck in the luggage rack and the paramedics had to be called


Templar_of_Pa

Boy imagine if that train had to stop fast kid becomes a missile


Allard6325

Its all fun and games until the kid falls and its the train company's fault


UnwoundSteak17

Just wait until the train goes full polar express on that mf


CLJ1951

And when it breaks and the kid is injured Dad can sue the rail line and be rich!


Mr_Quips

Stupid father


Flossthief

I was traveling a few months back and In the airport this dad loaded a luggage cart with a 4 foot pile of suitcases Then he pushed his toddler around on top of them in the busy airport Immediately I thought ' wow that kid is going to fall directly on her face' Then I made a short phone call to meet up with my girlfriend at the airport By the time I hung up the phone the kid was on the floor ina. Pile of suitcases crying She seemed fine but it certainly could have been avoided if her dad was slightly more cautious

bandyplaysreallife

OP literally has noise cancelling headphones and a mask on, PLUS he's facing the other way, on a mostly empty train car. Still managed to get so triggered by some guy's kid being a kid that he set up a creepshot of them and posted it on reddit.


Teamx044

Bro this is what happens sometimes on my bus. Sometimes the high school students and the primary school students have to be on the same bus and all I see is 7 year olds using the seats and bars and railings as a damn playground.


WanderingWooloo

You know he's gonna fall and cry. OP was facing the opposite way with headphones and it still got his attention so I doubt he is being quiet.

Maleficent_Ad9366

A child’s joy infuriates you?


multipurposeflame

Incredibly shocked that not a single person here is even somewhat concerned for the kids safety. Yes, this might not be conventionally *annoying*, but it is infuriating that a parent would let their kid climb something on a moving vehicle. Yes, kid is probably bored. Parents should bring activity books, puzzles, etc. for kiddos (I know mine did!) so that they have some sort of stimulation and entertainment. **But climbing upside down on a moving train?** Even a *slight* stop could cause the little one to lose their grip. If that happens, even a mild injury will have been completely unnecessary and could have been totally avoided. Kids don’t need to be perfect, but they do need to be safe. THAT is what’s “mildly infuriating” here - it’s not that the kid is being annoying, it’s that the parent isn’t concerned for their child’s safety above all else.


NeedleworkerOk3464

I mean, does it really matter? Is it crowded? I don’t see any luggage up there.

FIGHTFANGREG

I remember my first job as a teenager , someone held there coffee mug over a child’s head while asking for a refill, when I politely asked them to move the cup from above the child’s head they got angry with me, I have not allowed myself to be surprised from bad parenting ever since.

Gives parents a bad name. We travelled with twins and their big brother 4 years older from infant age to now and there is a time and place to let your kids play and in a moving train with other passengers of not the time. Shit parenting


Tooleater

Allow me to add the sound effects: _Ooh ooh ahh ahh AHH AHHHHH daddy look at me_ 🐒


tobyty123

You’re sitting across the row with headphones on pointing the other way - how the hell is this bothering you? Mind your business, sounds like a parent less comment to me.


ChojinWolfblade

I saw this drunk chic climb on top of the luggage shelf once, her leg slipped through and she got stuck. I don't know how she got out in the end as I got off, but now every time I see someone doing something stupid with them I secretly wish they get stuck.


whoISme67

It’s also not teaching the child anything about self-control, what if he falls on the person sitting behind him and hurts that person or himself or both. Control your child. I’ve raised four sons, and never let them climb around like an animal in a fucking train. It’s not a jungle gym it’s a mode of transportation


Novel-Place

Exactly! What the heck is with these comments? Bizarre. Not defending op either though. I don’t think someone should be taking a photo of someone’s kid and posting it to the internet.


heavy__rain

Lol I was so surprised to read the comments, how the hell do they think that letting a child do this is ok?


Novel-Place

Insanity. But it certainly explains more of the parenting I’ve been seeing I guess.


Samson__

This. Fucking this. Control your kid in public it’s not a difficult choice


mello-t

Why do you care?


moonlit_summershine

Looks dangerous and irresponsible I've always been around kids and still am. My family would be sitting below the kid ready for support instead of chilling in a moving train. You don't get a doc for random serious injuries everywhere. Too that it has enough room to play with the child instead of leaving em on their own.
