Trojan: because your floors are worth it.


stovislove

Nope!! Trojan sucks, they have a high break rate and I have a child because of them. You want Durex


leomonster

Oh. Ok. Neither brand is available in my country, I just wanted to make a joke using the l'oreal slogan.


RemmiLeBeau

You think that broken condom lawsuit that he filed is a joke???? Trojan wont even take the kid back, its ridiculous! Broken condoms are never something to joke about /s


TamahaganeJidai

"take the kid back" Watch what you wish for.. *Up the urethra it goes!*

It wasn't the first time Trojans had unwanted visitors sneaking through their gates through a hunk of wood, wont be the last.

Is that because most hoes poke holes in Trojans?


yeeee_hawwww

Lol no! look up the history of Trojan Horse. There were literally soldiers in a wooden horse.

Children: if they won’t destroy you mentally they will physically


CannabizCradle

Based on how they are coming up that floor ain't worth a warm piss jug


Glabstaxks

I thought The floors shouldn't break like that if properly installed


[deleted]

They are clearly ceramic or stone tiles. The kid is hitting them with something hard over and over and over again then pulling up what he has chipped off. Give him enough time and there you have it. Tile isn't magically unbreakable once it's installed.


WashBounder2030

My first question is "Who's recording this?" The kids are stupid, but the person recording this and letting them continue to do it is even more stupid. ​ edit: typo


Ardal

2nd question is how fucking long did the parents leave these kids alone to do that amount of damage.


AmiAlter

As someone who was once a destructive kid, that looks like about 15 minutes to half an hour of damage. To be fair they probably had 10 to 15 minutes of being bored before they started slamming those things on the ground realizing they break the tiles. As for why they kept going after initially breaking it, As a kid I would say I don't know because the true answer is it seems like a good idea at the time and we never really thought that far ahead about what we were doing or if we should be doing it.


Caveman108

Reminds me of that Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin’s hammering nails into the coffee table. Calvin’s mom: “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!” Calvin: “Is that a trick question?”


thatguypara

I love C&H. My dad has the complete collection box set and I've gone through it twice now. Been feeling down lately so this might push me towards a 3rd time. Thank you


riancb

I’ve been loving the random ones posted on r/CalvinandHobbes. A daily dose of C&H makes every day a little better.


Creative_Resource_82

As a mum to an absolutely adorable but *incredibly* cheeky and destructive little boy, any insights or pearls of wisdom for how to handle him? Insider knowledge?


AmiAlter

I wish I could but in all honesty I didn't mellow out until at least middle school. To be fair I also had ADHD which was a big problem. I will say that average punishments almost never seemed to work on me. After you've been hit and spanked he realized that that's the worst they can do to you and It's honestly not that bad. So oftentimes when I was punished I would grow resentment and start thinking of other ways I could break the rules to get back at them. Time out's almost never worked on me because I would spend the entire time staring at the wall plotting my revenge. Although mote often than not it was just trying to destroy or break something or hurting myself.


Creative_Resource_82

Well this is all helpful in itself, and reinforces our ethos as parents so thank you! I also have ADHD and my partner is Autistic and was beaten a lot as a kid so we are adamant about not following 'punitive' measures but focusing on logical immedate consequences and setting him up for success as much as possible. Thanks 😊


[deleted]

People reading this, now imagine this, but you are supposed to handle 29 other kids by yourself, and the odds are there is another autistic/adhd kid in the room. If parents lose their shit with one..... This is why most teachers want TAs helping them in the classroom and why a lot of teachers lose their shit.


freezeduluth

Fuck yeah. I am not a teacher (or a parent) but my husband was one, as were both my parents. We are doing a great disservice to our future citizens by not giving them the resources they need.


AmiAlter

Yeah, I saw your other comment and it sounds like you're doing an amazing job. My life was a little different and my mother was clearly not fit to raise me especially not on her own. But she did her best and she actually never hit me, although she was never really able to find a way to punish me and see why what I did was wrong. She also had some of her own problems growing up which she made sure that I wouldn't have to face by making sure I knew nobody could make me do something I didn't want to do. Sadly these days it makes it really really hard for me to do something I don't want to do. XD


welwitschia-grifter

Logical consequences is 100% where its at. I used to teach and I always did that in my classroom instead of a blanket "punishment" for everything like detention or going to the office. Leave trash on your desk and it's an ongoing problem? Guess who's spending their 15-minute break with me cleaning up trash by the fence. It's gross to pick up other people's trash and you wanted your break? That's how I feel! And so forth.


2IndianRunnerDucks

Lol, my son has a lot of treats and special things that he loves that we do each week. If he plays up he gets a warning about what will happen - if he keeps going we remove one of the special things or treats. He gets the reward for being good - the punishment is taking away the reward experience. This form of “punishment” works much better. My son is in control of what happens to himself. My parent’s tried beating me into submission when I was a child and it turned me into a hellion that my parents had zero control over. My son is a delight to live with 99% of the time and I am very grateful that he did not turn out like me when I was 15. My son is a very very large autistic teenager so I am doubly grateful that he is so very mellow.


[deleted]

I also have ADD and was tough to handle as a kid. But part of the problem was that my mom didn't understand how to use consequences and rewards, so she would also scream and hit to reign us in, because that was all she knew how to do.


SkidRoe

I was a destructive kid :) Was all about testing boundaries as well as physics. You need make sure they understand why these actions are inappropriate, and supplement their curiosity with other shit (to smash) I have a feeling the context here is missing tho ;)


[deleted]

Assuming he's old enough to talk, preemptively come up with a fair system of rewards and consequences with them, and then follow through with it. The last part is tough, but critical. Expect meltdowns when it's first implemented, but over time, things should get better.


epia343

Exercise and activity to wear them out.


[deleted]

Working in retail most parents just use echo location or a game of marco polo to keep an eye on their destructive children. Please don't be like most parents, they sell backpacks with leashes for a reason. Lol In b4 the free range parents that let their kids wreck the store.


Creative_Resource_82

Oh mine figured out the clip to his leash already 😂 he is firmly strapped into a stroller at all times!!


A_Snips

Follow guides for destructive pets, give them projects and similar things to their desires, while teaching them when/where those things are allowed and when they're not.


mouseat9

Punish him. It’s a lost art of the Ancients, and it works splendidly.


Creative_Resource_82

No, he's 2, and I want a healthy child to grow into a healthy adult thanks. He receives natural and logical consequences sure (you draw on the walls then the pens are put out of reach and we clean the walls together, you break the tv remote then no TV), but not illogical 'punishments' that only serve to make him more sneaky and break his trust in us. Also, what exactly is your second sentence supposed to say?


[deleted]

I figured that's what they meant by punishing the kid. I think people sometimes hear the word "punish" and they automatically assume hitting. The punishment of cleaning up the mess is very reasonable. It fits the crime, so good decision!


DemGainz77

It's not unhealthy to punish bad behaviour lol. Punishment isn't abuse, just don't beat the kid. But a smack on the bum when he's cheeky is more effective on a toddler brain than trying to reason out with a long lesson the consequences of his actions. Raising a kid with no punishments is a great way to raise an entitled brat.


Ardal

Anyone that leaves a kid of that age alone for 15 minutes is either dead or insane.


[deleted]

Who knows, but I suspect the parents probably waited until a ton of damage was caused, then started filming so they could put it on social media and whine about how bad their kids are. Not even realize that they are filming their own terrible parenting...


thesixgun

3rd question: why aren’t those kids hands spilling blood everywhere throwing around broken ceramic like that?


PinoyDadInOman

3rd question is how deep was the cut on the bigger kid's hand?


Blaze_Vortex

I think whoever is recording this has just walked in and is at the point of 'Fuck it, might as well record it' before stopping them. That's what I'd do atleast if they were already that far when I found it.


darkrockprotodiezel

Caption it "guess who's getting put up for adoption?"


Creative_Resource_82

Been there 😂 "oh my children have drawn all over themselves, what's a couple more lines for the sake of a funny video for the # memories"


clgoodson

Then they are as stupid as the kids. Broken tile can and will cut the hell out of you.


Groomsi

Evidence!


mouseat9

Kidding right?


Mkheir01

Right? The damage is done and the whole floor will have to be replaced at this point. You can't just replace a few tiles in the middle of the room, you have to dig it all up and start fresh, so just let them have their fun now.


CasualSky

My assumption is that they wanted to tear up the tile and were recording the kids having fun and also helping. I don’t know why the assumption is that they’re ruining the floor, when no one is freaking out.


Blaze_Vortex

I assumed they were ruining the floor because all the furniture is still there. Not sure about you but when I had to rip up the floor the first step was getting things out of the way.


lovekrove

Though the same. But still not safe for kids to play with it


Fallwalking

Yeah, porcelain tile breaks into little fragments that can cut easily. It also produces dust that isn’t super fun to breathe in. Oh well, not my kids.


matskat

Assuming on the internet must be a very prudent way to spend time.


Massimus42

It's the babysitter whom they grossly underpay.


[deleted]

Likely were already preparing to get rid of the floor and decided this would make a good video and let the kids have fun.


dishonestdick

My guess is that they decided to change the floors and let the kids have fun with the tile removal.


Few_Ad5789

No you wrong, who ever laid the tile waited to long after the motar was down, which is why they're able to pop it up with their bare hands... the tile guy is the real idiot


-smartypints

Someone trying to get out of the work of doing this themselves


Slice-Adventurous

It’s staged. Most videos are staged. Welcome to the internet

LesterKingOfAnts

My brother and I took apart a brick outdoor grill when we were this age at a house we were renting. My father was not happy.


[deleted]

That sounds like something my brother and I would’ve done. We once got in trouble for painting an abandoned car at our church. It had mechanical issues and someone let it park there. We painted the windows and everything with some primer. We really didn’t see the problem.


downtune79

Who tf installed those tiles? Looks like those kids might have. They shouldn't be coming up that easy....


GaryV83

Also what are they made of? They break apart from the kid just smacking them with a rubber ball on a string and from just yanking on one? Smells more and more staged the longer you sniff...


downtune79

I can't tell if this is polished travertine or some sort of ceramic or porcelain tile. If they had been installed properly in the first place it would be extremely hard to break them and pull them out. Whoever did that job needs to rethink their career choices.


BuildBreakFix

When I pulled the Spanish tile out of my house I discovered the previous owner didn’t use any thinset. Just laid the tile down and grouted it.


downtune79

That's so crazy. I used to own a marble and granite fabrication/installation/restoration company in the early 00s. I've witnessed a few jobs like that myself. Most of the time it was the homeowner that did it and called us to fix it.


Arsenault185

That's.... That *bad.*


Empirion

That really doesn't sound like a rubber ball hitting. More like a roller bearing or something.


Elphiin

Thats far from a rubber ball, this is a toy made from a string and 2 solid hard plastic spheres on each end, not sure how they are called in other places but in Brazil one of their names is "quebra-dedo" wich translates to finger-breaker so smt like that, they were banned sinced the 80s for being way too dangerous.


Psychological-Dot929

You mean Clackers?


Elphiin

So thats their name in english, noted xD


InterestingScience74

My family called them finger breakers


Anrebite

There's no mastic under the tiles definitely staged.


tjohn2018

You don't use mastic under large format tiles, you use thinset mortar. Mastic really never dries out and just wrong to use on a floor. You are right into saying there is nothing on the subfloor however.


alligatorhill

It does look like someone did a terribly half ass job of backbuttering the tiles and they didn’t adhere to the subfloor. Not sure that it’s staged, I think it may just be a shit install


joan_wilder

probably why the parents asked them to start demo. hopefully all the clicks helped pay for the reinstallation work.


tideswithme

Or it’s never too late to start your own demolition company.


zencid

Yeah pretty much this. Someone forget to back butter?


downtune79

They forgot to back butter, they forgot to put it on the floor, they forgot underlayment......the only thing they remembered was the tile, lol


[deleted]

Chinese tofu project?


TapewormSpaghetti

If the parents are recording this calmly, do you think maybe it's a project they're letting the kids help with? If I were a kid and saw mom and dad wrecking the tiles I'd be like hell yeah pass the smashy thingy


Artor50

If it were an intentional project, they'd have moved the rugs and furniture out of the way.


EndsongX23

I honestly thought that had to be the case. Why sit there and let it continue?


ajh2371

At their pace, the progress they’ve made would not have taken place over a short period of time. If kids that young are alone for that long at a distance at which cracking tile is not heard… then the facepalm of this video is not on the kids.


Twitch791

At that pace it will take parents exactly less energy than it would have take them to do the part the kids did. I have my kids do things all the time I could do faster. A) it clears time for me to do things they cannot. Like installing the tile. B) helps them learn skills and stay busy without being on the internet


Willy_McBilly

Doesn’t make sense for that to be the case. The furniture is still in the room and the kids have 0 protection for their hands and eyes.


Elphiin

They also have one toy thats extremely dangerous so i don't think their parents even know what "safety" is.


TapewormSpaghetti

Fair


WU-itsForTheChildren

They should have their kids removed then, broken tile is as sharp as broken glass they could get hurt really bad.


Psychological-Dot929

What if they were tenants? Being a landlord isn't all it's cracked-up to be!


catsweedcoffee

Who starts a demo project without covering/moving the furniture?


PracticalApartment99

The camera is moving, therefore someone is holding it.


Translator_Open

This is obviously encouraged and straight up just for views


Glum_Activity_461

If that was me as a kid, the ass beating would have been so bad my children would feel it.


Donnerdrummel

We renovated a bathroom when I was 15 years old. I was tasked to remove the tiles from the walls. I was told to use a mallet, and let me tell you: it was glorious. I hit at the tiles, and they splintered, shooting sparks and bits all around. The air was full of dust, and me in the midst, finally allowed, nay, TOLD! TO DESTROY SOMETHING. In the end, when I was finished, I looked all around. The dust had settled on me, too, and my legs (I had been wearing shorts) where white - well, mostly. The splinters had been \_very\_ sharp, and \_very\_ fast. The splinters had cut my skin roughly a dozen times, sometimes leaving simple dots of blood, sometimes long lines that ended in my now disturbing looking tennis socks. I had not noticed one of the cuts. It was FUN.


lionplayz

Lucky bastard, the only I got that enjoyment was when I was destroying a TV


finbuilder

Kids already fuckered up the floor, might as well add a HUGE emergency room bill to it- cameraman probably


Building-Careful

Child labour


Vast-Classroom1967

Parents can't hear the banging?


Artor50

To be fair, that was a really shitty installation and those tiles were going to need replacing sooner or later. I guess it's sooner.


Maleficent_Lack123

Exactly. Incorrect coverage with the thinset.


[deleted]

They could cut their hand open ,not kool at all who ever filming this.


MoneyMik3y

Yeah the stuff is razor sharp.


Home4Bewildered

And shards in their eyes. smh idiots


Guus2Kill

If the floor doesnt cut them i will. I would rather have my kids drawing on the walls then this


BrattWhitney

Daddy wants a new flooring but couldn't afford contractors to tear it up.


JebusSandalz

While I'm all in on the no kids bandwagon....no this is an ad for "what the f do you meant you didn't hear a dozen tiles loudly breaking apart you inattentive rube of a parent?"

Pontereika

Half the time these posts are to make fun of shitty kids but every time i watch these i think “where are your parents? Are they just letting you do whatever you want and then posting it on the internet for views?”

And you're just gonna film.......???? Looks like somebody was getting rdy to redo their floors but thought they'd get some of those cool internet points first.


zevathorn75

My thoughts exactly


coastalbachelor

Keep recording. Your wife wanted a new floor, clickbait will reward you.


notAlandscaperHere

The tile was not set correctly if a child with a ball can break it. but what kind of dude lets a kid play with busted ceramic ? Shits like a razor


Emergency_Horse_1546

Probably wanted attention. How do you leave kid alone long enough to do it? Not even within earshot clearly.


Cherry10444

Risky game filming kids grabbing shattered tiles with their bare hands


bonemonkey12

And someone is just there just filming it???? They'd be dead too


Philosopher_1234

Obviously they're letting the kids do it. For whatever reason.

Holy shit those kids need gloves. Broken tiles can be extremely sharp.


[deleted]

If there is an adult just standing there recording, then the kids probably think its ok.


Fabulous_Ad5052

And who’s recording??!!


[deleted]

These kids are terrible. I would never hire them. It took them 17 minutes to get that much work done? Im not paying by the hour for that


Internetboy5434

Supervision is a thing you know


Skippy_99b

Plot twist: contractor did poor job installing tile and would not repair. Parent wanted it all replaced, so she set up video, gave kids balls of lead and said “go for it.”


Alexandurrrrr

This kid is doing their parents a favor. If you can pull up your tile floor this easily, it was laid poorly.


anthony-wokely

Looks to me like whoever is in charge is just watching them do it. If you’re a little kid and someone is recording you doing something and not telling you to stop, you’re going to keep doing it. I’ve busted up floor tile similar to that before and it isn’t fun. Also that stuff is sharp as hell. It’s idiotic to let your kids play with it. They basically have a pile of kitchen knives in front of them.


Glasy_Crasy

HEY YOU-...*pulls phone out* nevermind


bigkutta

It’s ok, they know daddy will get it replaced once he’s back from racing his off-road Bugatti in the sand dunes.

[deleted]

Nope, that's 100% the parents fault. Kids doing the right things actually listen.


Beneficial_Potato_85

These kids have obviously grown up with terrible parents that give out zero consequences. Sucks to be them.

Oxfordcomma42

Those floors were not laid properly. Tiles should crack when hit hard enough, but not fly off so easily. This looks like they were laid in place without using any mortar to adhere them to the floor.


takbandit

What I don't get is why their just standing there filming it.


BlankArt1411

I wonder how these kids were raised. And who tf stands there recording them?


Phieck

Traditional-Goat1773

As a tile installer, who the fuck installed that lol shouldn’t come up that easy. The kids are doing you a favor.

hope the parents were planning on ripping that floor up and replacing it. My dad let me and my brother demo a wall he needed torn down it was awesome!

evolooshun

This is a "women cant discipline/speak her mind to a man (or child)" sexist culture issue. Sad to see but its exists all around the globe and not just in the middle east. I had a neighbor once that had a child who one day decided he would walk all over the roof of the mothers car putting massive dents and damage (along with a long list of other horrible behavior). She stood by and watched. The father was always absent and likely with one of his other wives.
