My parents have video of us kids doing pretty much the same thing.

Don't all kids do things like this?

Yes but in the perpetual increase of third-party parents making sure that even the stupid children grow up to reproduce... this cannot be allowed.

I'm trying to follow the chain of dominoes into the future, and it seems like we will eventually reach a stage in parenting evolution where all children will be coralled into a safety pen in the middle of town where everyone can watch them. A computer right next to them will steadily generate A+ report cards. On their 12th birthday, they will be released and given a car.

My mom would have to go inside when I was out climbing trees. It freaked her out to no end. Sure I fell a few times but nothing too bad happened. My mom would have to go inside when I was out climbing trees. It freaked her out to no end.

(*kids eat*)

Dad: "HA HA !
Jokes on you, it was your medicine !"

Whatever. We used to jump off our upstairs loft down onto the couch. The only casualty was a spring that busted in the 10+ y/o couch. No, that doesn't take any ability or anything but it was definitely more of a risk than climbing the door frame. We'd also get up to the loft by climbing outside the spiral staircase just for the challenge. Man, that house was fun.

timujin: awesome. And in response to the question in the article, "Would your parents ever let you climb the walls as a child?" the answer is no, my parents weren't that cool. I had to climb the walls when they weren't around.

Pretty much this. :) Had a hard time explaining the shoe prints on the wall though...

The suspense is killing me subby.

WHO could have a problem with this?

Kids these days.

When I was a kid we didn't need any stinking candy as an excuse to climb all over everything.

I used to press my hands and feet against the walls in the hallway to climb into the attic. My dad found this out and made me grab boxes for him.

Kids do do this type of crap. But i think its more the encouragement to do it that bothers people. I personally dont care. I wouldnt post something like this on the internet though.

Who could possibly have a problem with this?

I don't know, their dentist?

I was thinking Mom. I was waiting for her to pop in with a, "What the hell are you doing!?"

/and so will mom when she sees the video

I used to do that and hide over the laundry room door and wait for my mom to come out and jump down behind her.


LOL... probably scared 20 years of her life at a minimum.

Love the headline "Would your parents ever let you climb the walls as a child?"

My parents couldn't have given a shiat what I did as a child provided it didn't inconvenience them. That was life before "parenting" became a verb somewhere in the 1990's.

Avery & Logan? Parents should get a cockpunch just for that.

Also the girl looked and acted just like Mowgli

i really like the way this post is organized.

/really.

I can't imagine Mom being happy when she sees the video and discovers why the door frames are so damn filthy.

Are those morphine suckers? mmmmmm morphine.

styckx: Isn't almost killing yourself at least 100 times by the age of 12 part of growing up?

Kids are still allowed to do this rght?



allowed? Hell I encourage my kids to do it. Only 5 trips to the ER so far!



ooo oooo ... can we turn this into a stupid story bro thread?

Almost cut my finger off with an axe
Sliced my leg with a chainsaw
Dove into a rock head first
Got stung 13 times by bees (at once)
Ripped open the top of my mouth with a kite stick
fell off a roof ( more then once, but thankfully not more then once in the same day)
My mom almost cut my finger off with a knife ( different finger then the one above..but on the same hand)
Fell out of a tree
Had a tree fall on me.
fell out of a truck that was going 30 miles an hour
exploded a skidoo.
flipped a skidoo doing 60kmh

I am sure other stuff.


Number of times to the ER?

once.. for an asthma attack

The only thing I saw wrong was when the little boy slid down. It would have sucked if he hit the strike plate for the door handle.

I was thinking getting one's big toe caught in the latch pit(I'm sure it has a name) would've sucked more. Severed toe anyone?

This video illustrates the difference between mothers and fathers.

I banged on a car wheel with a hammer. Went pretty well until I missed the rim and hit the tire itself. Hammer claw to the forehead!

Went climbing on a 15 foot high tree branch that hung out over a a 20 foot deep dry creek... wearing cowboy boots. I did manage to catch the branch with my hands and not actually fall the 30-35 feet.

Hopped a slow moving freight train at a grain elevator with a friend. We thought it was still just positioning hopper cars, but it kept speeding up. Luckily, it slowed down at the next town 8 miles away and we hopped off and walked the tracks back home.

This!

Interested in this video:

That's got to be hard 5.10, no chalk, free solo, barefoot.

This is obviously just a doorway to harder things. Next thing you know this obviously terrible father who doesn't love his kids will be taking them to the park where they will sit on a piece of of weathered rubber attached to two rusty chains hanging from a support structure that can tower well over 12 feet. Then, he'll begin to push, PUSH his children unto they sway back and forth. He'll be propelling his children nearly 6 feet into the air. You'll be able to hear these kids screaming for blocks around.

Next, he'll probably take them to an old, lead-painted, splintered board that's been bolted to a fulcrum point in the middle. This skinny-person catapault is an abomination. You know where the board goes? In-between the kid's legs! Imagine this sight if you will. Do you want your America to look like that!?

Sooner or later those kids will be climbing up the walls, on cracks

No problem here at all. Those kids are learning problem solving skills that will serve them well later in life.

Laocoon: The 3yo totally cheated and dad rewarded him anyway. Welcome to the pussification of America. That commie Fred Rogers would be proud.


You are trying too hard.

my personal saying on the matter is "A childhood without the opportunity to loose a finger, is a childhood wasted"

/raised by engineers
//doesn't have any kids. that he knows of

kvinesknows: Ripped open the top of my mouth with a kite stick

The hell?

Huh. We always climbed the the hall walls instead.
My kids were pretty good at it too.
I still have dreams sometimes I am creeping along the top of the hall. My adult size prevents me from trying this again.

Merry Sunshine: kvinesknows: Ripped open the top of my mouth with a kite stick

LOL wish I could say it was some sort of cool kite accident but...
5 years old.. running around inside the house playing with a kite stick. had it in my mouth and jumped off a stool shoving it up a fair bit hard and ripping a huge layer off the roof of my mouth
