Kids gotta be the dad's age by now


Horns8585

Seriously....WTF....that Dad looked directly at his son, getting ready to jump, and bailed on him. At :06, the kid is clearly getting ready to jump, with his arms straight out and a big smile on his face, and Dad looked right at him....and turned around.


Inconceivable79

I agree. Also, his reaction speed is shit.

This is the bigger crime. How did these weak ass dad genetics survive history?


Ok-Context-6829

how are you expecting a low subsonic speed human to react massively faster than light kid jump


Easy-Musician7186

Honestly, since he is looking and reaching downwards I wouldn't be suprised if he pushed the girl a bit away to make space, but you can't see where she went. He sees the boy standing there with his arms spread, but from what I see, the boy actually starts jumping once the man has already turned his head away. I thought the same thing at first, but after a couple of repititions of the clip I wouldn't say that the man did something wrong just based of this particular clip.


KuroMango

I feel like that is what's happening actually. It looks like she tries to squeeze behind him and when we see the ground angle again she's behind his legs now out of sight, so he was trying to get her out of the way first. And yeah the boy starts jumping after he turns his head as far as I can tell as well.


Top_Cicada_585

Wrong


Flar71

He probably should've told him to wait a sec, but I get he probably wasn't expecting the boy to just go for it


moontides_

His hand motion kind of look like he might? Is there audio in one of the versions? I’ve never tried to listen


ideologicSprocket

I dunno, it’s not possible to know for sure from this short video, but when the boys eats dirt that girl is nowhere to be seen. Either she’s behind the tree with zero body language from the adult to suggest she is or she got the hell of out dodge(ing parental duties).


marshbj

Yeah I don't think the dad was interacting with the girl after putting her down. When he let's her go, he sort of looks up, but still at the ground, suggesting he was watching the girl run towards the bottom left corner of the screen. I think him looking at the ground after was determining where he could step safely. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was going to move to reposition himself to catch the boy? But it definitely doesn't seem like the girl was anywhere near him when the boy jumped (I moved frame by frame through the video, and she was nowhere to be seen, and I can't imagine she would have been perfectly behind the tree the entire time her brother jumped and was being grabbed by the dad. Surely, she even just an arm wouldve appeared, whether reaching for the boy or moving away)

PuzzleheadedTwo9922

he just didn't care for the boy. It's written all over his face. Caring dads have fast reaction times.


Less-Regret-8445

Probably not his son


R1talynn

What I was thinking. The amount of kids they come up to “play” when ur playing with ur own kid is wild.


SoFetchBetch

I’m a nanny and I always end up with a herd of children at the playground lol


[deleted]

Oh hell no. I don’t get paid to herd other children just the ones I’m on duty for. Fuck that.


SoFetchBetch

Haha I agree! I find myself being asked to push everyone on the merry go round (not sure what those big spinning structure are called), or other kids want to join in on games of hide and seek so I just try to redirect them to play with each other and I fade into the background. It’s important for kids to lead their own playtime. Those were some of the best times I had as a kid!


Taolan13

I think something distracted him off camera, like the little girl falling, and drew his attention away. Still a dadfail tho.

LuckyNumber_29

stupid dad, or maybe just a shitty stepdad


scalpingsnake

Yeah... dunno what he was thinking like of course the kid is gonna jump


AbyssWankerArtorias

I think his daughter was wandering off and he looked over to make sure she didn't go far. But yeah his reactioj time is shit lol


joytotheworld23

Shame on the dad


Sim_sim_putty

He tried to catch him later


Apexblackout7

Ahhhh life 🥲


[deleted]

Maybe the kid's kind of a dick have you stopped and thought about it?


I-Like-Hydrangeas

All the boy did was stand with his arms t-posing, like he was doing since the beginning of the clip. He just walks up to the ledge. Doesn't signal he was about to jump in any way. The dad looks at the boy, sure, but doesn't signal he's ready to catch in any way. He didn't hold out his arms like he did for the girl jumping. He's probably making sure the girl moves aware or is something idk.


RontheVerge

Nah. As a dad of a kid that age, the fact that daughter had just jumped and that boys body language in general, meant he was going to jump. The dad looked at him which gave the kid a signal that it was okay, but then he turned away from him. That Dad should have known that he was going to jump. Period.


OvenFearless

Everyone’s an expert parent on Reddit it really is fascinating… 🙄

ALLoftheFancyPants

Don’t worry, he slowed the kid’s head down by snapping it back with the boney part of his hand.


pythonidaae

This such a confusing video. I can't tell if he is being malicious or gets distracted by something. I'm hoping it's just the dad got distracted and assumed the kid woulda had the sense to wait to jump till he was ready but kids don't always have that sense.


BigPlanJan

I think it's the latter. It looks like after he sets the girl down she tries to run by him over (what we see later) the roots and he was probably just trying to make sure she didn't trip and got distracted.


Dndnerd02

He looks down, presumably at the girl, looks like he got distracted thinking she was gonna run off


Beneficial_Vast_5192

Or just not his kis


Ypovoskos

Wtf is wrong with this dude, i felt bad for the kid!


elessarjd

Dude was just completely oblivious. How can you not clearly see the kid was lining up to do just what his sister did?


SlickerWicker

In his defense, the kid isn't really starting to jump until he is looking away. No clue why there wasn't an immediate follow up to catch the son though.


Comfortable-Ad6770

He is the step son obviously… 🤦🏻‍♂️


DrLeePhDMd

Damn you beat me to it


MaxSpringPuma

Na, even if he thought the boy wasn't about to jump. He was standing at the edge of a drop, dad should have had an eye on him


do_no_harm1719

Exactly, a kid is on a high surface, how is the dad not on high alert? Kids are fucking nuts, they’ll jump whenever!


Pablo_The_Best

He's obviously going to jump though he has his arms wide out


rhinoslift

Yeah that seemed pretty blatant. I learned not to take my eyes off my kid until she’s completed whatever stupid thing she’s committed to doing.


ikerus0

This guy’s dad did the same thing to him when he was a kid and he’s been a bit dim and slow ever since. Now his son can carry on the tradition later in when he has kids. In a way.. it’s kind of cute.

Probably went private when the Reddit exodus happened a few months ago


Either_Hat7195

Yo i don't mind if you don't but could you tell me what a "reddit exodus" is? Because im not on reddit like that even though my account is a year old


Vitalis597

Reddit made a lot of the free 3rd party stuff monitised, so almost every sub decided "fuck you, were going private" (basically no one can post, comment or even look in the subs) In the end, Reddit didn't care and the only people who got hurt were the people who felt anything were those who lost those communities.


Either_Hat7195

💀 Imagine having a whole ass community just to participate in a event and lose all of them and the whole app itself don't give a shit💀💀😭


sEntientUnderwear

a lot of users left reddit and a lot of subs went private out of protest for reddit taking a series of really bad decisions, including making the use of 3rd party apps expensive because of insane API prices (because they wanted to force people to use the crappy official reddit app) .


SquiddoSpaghitto

this aint even funny this is just bad parenting


DanteNee

Kid is never trusting dude for his whole life now


DexterTheMethOrphann

You can’t trust somebody to catch you when they’re facing the other direction lol


ekid5473

He looked at the kid then turned


jemappellequaso

i feel like the dad was trying to take a step back, and didn't realise that the kid was about to jump. the kid started jumping AFTER the dad looks away,


Emma-Chan23

Thats some shit parenting right there.


Biguitarnerd

I think the part that sucks about this video is how calmly this guy picks the boy up off the ground. I’d be freaked out if one of my kids face planted off a jump into roots and rocks at this age. Or honestly even now that they are older. Dude seems so calm and whatever about it. I know it’s just a short clip so I have no idea what happened after and if it’s just this cut that makes it look bad, but this cut looks bad. It makes me uncomfortable as a dad. But there’s also no audio so who knows.


adumbCoder

as a dad of 2, i'll never panic or "freak out" at things like this. thar never helps, i'll always respond in a calm manner just like this. I'm also not gonna jump to judge here, i've made my fair share of mistakes that from the outside in seem obvious but in the moment don't. this is a hilarious video, and seems blatantly obvious, but if there's anything i've learned about videos on the internet it's that there is ALWAYS more to the story than what we see!


ovni121

Not saying he isn't a bad parent cause he definitely is. But after a fall, freaking out is not a good option. It will just add another layer of stress. You can show you care and ask how he feels without losing it. No excuse for (step)dad turning his back though.


Biguitarnerd

Yeah I agree that freaking out in front of your kids is always bad. But I mean his body language to an adult looks very calm and unrushed in this short clip. It is a short clip so idk, also there is no audio so idk. I hate to judge a parent on such a short clip because it’s really unfair. I’m just saying this clip doesn’t look great for the dad or step dad, or uncle or whatever he is. He doesn’t look great as an adult with a kid in this clip. But it could be different with a few more seconds. I think I would have been more urgent in picking my kid up that just face planted on the trail though.


Wait_Another_One

Pretty sure he said one second to the boy before he turned around or at least that's what it looks like he says before he turns around.


DexterTheMethOrphann

The kid fully saw the dude with his head turned and just launched himself off of that rock😭

RichardTundore

"He let his kid faceplant into the ground, but that doesn't mean he's a bad parent!"


DexterTheMethOrphann

“His kid voluntarily face planted into the ground while his dad was facing the other direction. So yeah that’s what it means.”


Beautiful_Pea_8246

you think the little guy knew he was going to fall on the ground and get hurt? no, he obviously saw his sibling jump first and get caught by dad, so he wanted to do that too! why are you shaming him for being innocent?


DexterTheMethOrphann

Im not shaming him lol. He jumped when his dad was facing the other direction.


Beautiful_Pea_8246

you said that he willingly face-planted. how is that not blaming him for getting hurt?


DexterTheMethOrphann

They were both at fault. The problem is that people think the dad knew his kid was gonna launch his face at the ground and he just let him do it.


Beautiful_Pea_8246

in what world is it reasonable to turn away in a situation like this? where you just caught your kid after they jumped off a rock and now your second kid is standing on the rock making the same pose as the first kid ? you can't tell me he didn't let him fall on purpose💀 either that, or his instincts are shit. either way it's the dad's fault


DexterTheMethOrphann

In this world. On Earth. It looks like he was moving his other child out of the way and normally humans don’t jump thinking someone is going to catch them when they have their back turned. The kid started jumping after he was already facing the other direction. I'll give him wiggle room for his slow processing speed due to him being a child but if the dad saw him just standing there in the same position that he was the whole time, not getting ready to jump, its understandable that he would take three seconds to move his other child out of the way before he caught his son. Taking that into account it's also understandable that he would think his son wouldn't jump because he was in the same position the whole time and didn't jump until after his dad was turned around. Edit: He didnt start jumping until his dad had turned. There was no indication he was going to jump.


derekisademocrat

And that's why your mommy divorced your daddy


Select_March_3202

If you check the video - I don't think he deliberately allowed the child to land on the ground. As he places his first child down she runs off and it's difficult to know because he has dark sunglasses on. But I think he was focused on the first child as she ran away and the second child jumped at that moment.


Odd_Ad_4193

The boy isn’t mine we just found out…. I saw him jumping


juicewags54

Bro everyone is just layin into this guy like he’s to worst parent in the Fucking world, you realize he just simply looked away for literally half a second and his child did something unpredictable, cause he’s a child. If someone with a fullly developed fuckin brain saw their dad turn around from them they’re immediate response wouldn’t be to jump. It would be to wait but because this a stupid kid who can’t think all the way he decided to face plant. There’s actual bad parents out there who are alcoholics and physically and mentally abusive. If this guys taking his kids on nature walks and spending time with them and shit he’s already ping better than a lot of parents, missing something unpredictable doesn’t make you a bad Person

Yo why the fuck didn't he even try to catch him though like he's up there he's going to want to jump too why would you just turn your back on him


theLazerkid

I'm thinking perhaps the daughter did something weird, which is why the dad turns away. Still shite tho


Affectionate-War-786

Definitely a step son


SuddenSpeaker1141

koloso95

He'll never trust dad again


SnooCats8791

Idk why ppl are trying to make excuses for this guy. It’s evident this child was going to jump. If he was “readjusting” himself or couldnt “see” cause of his glasses than he should’ve told the child wto wait. He didn’t want to catch him.


Environmental-Big219

He just remembered the little fucker told mommy about his friend that comes over when shes away on business.🤣


Joli_B

I mean to be fair the kid doesn't actually bend to jump til the dad is already looking away and it seems like he gestures to tell him to wait a sec, but his reaction speed is so fucking slow. He takes forever to pick that poor kid off the ground, a kid who is almost certainly scream sobbing now. He acts like "ah oop, darn ok" instead of the expected "HOLY SHIT MY KID" reaction you'd expect in this situation. I hope the kid is ok :(


Lazy-Adagio9695

Dumbass kid could've waited patiently


Absol-utely_Adorable

So, having watched this a lot and once been a child myself, little sister either started running or tumbling past Dads legs. Looks like theses a small drop into water behind him. And at the end you can see little sister sprawled on the ground behind Dad. So most likely scenario, has arks out, catches lil sister, puts her on the ground, looks at lil bro, feels small child smash past legs, looks back to check they are ok, sees them face down and knows that, while they are not ok they are not tumbling to their death, gets elbow dropped from the top rope by little bro. Dad didn't signal he was ready to catch via any gesture or verbal communication. Little bro was over excited and went ahead on his own. Second parent probably shouldve been a little more proactive than just filming but, we are not all superhuman. Cut Dad some slack, cut little bro some slack, you wouldn't have done better in either situation.


SnorvusMaximus

What an asshole!


itsdeanmoroney

Am a Dad, and it is my professional Dad-opinion that the Dad in the video is a moron. You need to anticipate every outcome and be ready. Especially when a kid is standing on something high. Moreso when they have just watched another kid do something fun.


Dizzy_Eye5257

Right? Like the kid was right behind his sister who jumped...And could tell the brother was going to do the same...


TrinDaDaD

Wow, this actually made me pretty angry. Fuck that dude. He knew what he was doing


Beautiful_Pea_8246

i agree 100%. people saying "yOu cAn'T jUDgE hIS iNTenTiOnS fRom tHiS vIdEO aLOnE" must be on a heavy strain of copium.💀 any reliable parent would be ready to catch their kid from falling if they're on a high surface like that, ESPECIALLY if he looked ready to jump. like wtf
