50 Things Kids Said Or Did That Were Beyond Their Years

Not every country is rich enough to have those kind of services.

The worst is when they do it to their own kids. What if the kid had died while dad was trying to prove his wife wrong? Did he REALLY want to risk that? Obviously yes, because he always has to be right, even when he’s dead—-dead child—-wrong.

Well obviously they're right and everyone else wrong, who cares if someone dies? They need to just get over the allergy! (Obviously/s)

They're the ones who suggest to depressed people, "Just get over it."

As an RN yes all ACTUAL allergies should be taken seriously. With that being said people need to stop lying about allergies. Needing to keep an Epipen around is serious. Gi distress, nausea, skin irritation, headache, feeling loopy is 9.9/10 a side effect of the med, not an allergy and can be fixed by adding another med to counteract the side effects. So please before you go saying I'm allergic to that medication READ THE DA.MN. SIDE EFFECTS EVERYTHING COMES WITH SIDE EFFECTS. I've literally had people say they are allergic to EPI because it makes their heart race, no c**p that's what it's supposed to do! Oh so Percocet makes you nauseous and feel spacy, yeah hun most meds make u nauseous on an empty stomach and your high. That's what it does!

cutely throws your father into meat grinder

Oof, that is terrible. Sorry you had to go through that. Hope you don't have to deal with him anymore

Couldn't be the MIL...

"And remember, only one candy for each of you!" (To patents)

After having seen numerous screaming toddlers writhing on the floor of a shop with the parent standing near, wringing their hands and wishing the gates of Hell would open, I vowed never to take a young child to a store.

I know. At 8 years old to have this experience and then to have to make a grown up decision. Its really heartbreaking.

Amazing in the context of her ability to understand and adjust to a tragic situation.

That, was something she should not have seen. But good on her for deciding that enough was enough and making a stand.

And she'll grow up knowing it's wrong and you shouldn't live with it because OP had the strength to leave.

the daughter did what her mother does when she's upset. theres nothing wrong with a child showing simple empathy, most adults could learn from children

I don’t know. We really shouldn’t underestimate children and their abilities. Some kids can be incredibly strong in the face of bad things/people/situations where most adults would just curl up and die. The kid may just have great presence of mind and composure at a young age. Maybe she realized that mom was having a tough time, and remembered all the tough times of her own, when she was overwhelmed and breaking down, and mom was right there comforting her. So she decided to comfort mom when she needed it and delay her own breakdown as a way of saying that since mom has always been there for me, it’s only right that I be there for her. A 9 year old isn’t a baby and not all of them are living solely in their own bubbles. Some are extremely intelligent, amazingly composed, and highly sensitive to the needs of others, as well as able to regulate their own emotions enough to delay their own breakdown. Possessing empathetic qualities like those spontaneously at a young age, this little girl is a natural to be a doctor, psychologist, counselor, social worker, or any number of careers in the human/social services.

If it was a constant thing, I agree. But a once in a blue moon situation. Like a parent dying, I think a little sympathy is okay. It shows you're raising a caring and considerate kid. And of course mom should console her kid after all the stress and tension is dimmed.

That’s true but we have to remember that these parents are people too. When someone’s mom dies it’s a very hard time and you need someone to help you with that. The daughter did maybe have to sacrifice her feelings a little bit but i think that’s just shows that she was very mature

Let's have this conversation again when your mom is dying. Let us all hope to be as perfect as you and not show emotion when our parents die. OR and stay with me here, when your mother dies (if she was a good mother) you find out what REAL loss is and it is hard to function normally.

In certain instances I can agree, but things happen in life that can be emotional and hard to deal with. If this was a regular thing with OP and said daughter, then, yeah, that would be disturbing, but we’re talking a death in the family, which presumably doesn’t occur on a regular basis

Wow you have a problem with an empathic child. Maybe you're the problem 🤔

Reminds me of my childhood, always rescuing my mom. Admittedly she was completely justified in being a wreck but it sucked that not a single soul stepped up to help, at least not that I could tell.

I don't think that was it. I think she just wanted to be strong for her mom.

It is called empathy. To keep strong for someone else they love instead of adding up even more pain and then guilt. Of course the child waited to have their own meltdown, because that's what she surely have seen adults do. So in fact child is not parenting parents, but being emotionally smart and healthy.

Amen to that.

Life doesn't work like that sometimes. If it is an ongoing thing that absolutely not ok, but death happens, grief happens. It's ok for children to see that and 9 is definitely old enough.

Some empaths react that way, dealing with the pain they can see before their own sinks in.

Showing care isn't parenting someone. If this was something that was done regularly then yes it would be an issue. How do I know? Because that was my experience witb my own mom. I was "the strong one" from the time I was 3 or 4 years old always comforting her. I was in my 30's when I broke free and we developed a good relationship with therapy. So no in this case this is not parenting.

Way too many assumptions throughout all of that.

No one is perfect and neither are you! This woman was going through a rough time & her daughter understood,! If never had this type of relationship with your mother then you will never get it!

It was that little girl’s choice to comfort her mum like that. There were other grown ups there to do that, it wasn’t left to her alone. I think she was old enough to understand that losing a parent is painful, and that her mum was losing her parent. It’s not as if her mum was breaking down everyday in a deep state of depression and had no way of understanding or helping; she was witnessing grief, and 9 is old enough to understand the concept of death and grief.

She wasn't parenting her parent. What an unempathetic person you are. Her daughter was empathetic to her Mothers pain. As her Mother may have shown her what it is to care. She was caring for her Mother in her time of need. I don't see your problem.

It is sweet. End of story.

It's called emphaty .... may be look it up, before judging.

There's a reason that kid did it so well and her mom specifically said "I OFTEN tell myself I didn't deserve my daughter." Often is a keyword that lets you know this isn't the first time her CHILD had to talk her down them safely express her feelings once she was gone.

What makes you think this is fake? And is it so wrong to appreciate moments when kids said or did something kind and mature?

If its fake why are you reading it, commenting on it and insulting others?

IM SORRY WHAT. FIRST IT WAS VACCINES AND MASKS AND NOW THEY GOT SUNSCREEN!?!?
