I think for the most part, parents get the kids they deserve. If you were a good parent, your kid will probably learn to be grateful and show it. If you were a shitty parent your kid probably won't be. And usually the parents I see bitching about their ungrateful kids are the ones that think they did a good job because they "provided a roof and food for them growing up".

Fr its almost human nature to begin to not notice what you consider the norm, you could argue we take our eyesight for granted but in reality its just been there my whole life why would I celebrate it every day, its more true in long term relationships too.

Assaulting a child is obviously wrong, and it doesn’t work. You also can’t just “reason” a two year old out of a tantrum. They do not understand reason yet, and even if they could calmly reasoning with a fully grown adult doesn’t usually break through a tantrum either. You have to acknowledge their feelings and make them feel heard first and then there’s a variety of ways to move on from there depending what the cause is. But if you think you’re just going to reason people out of misbehaving whether their children or coworkers good luck being disappointed haha.

Not quite the same but there were churches that believed cameras would steal your soul.

You can still get pregnant from swallowing dude. It’s still going inside the body. This is why I just jack off. Can’t deal with having kids right now.

Optional does not mean it's a choice. At least that's how I understand this showerthought

Came here to say this too. I get flashbacks daily and it’s brutal trying to stay emotionally regulated in order to teach my kids how to regulate their own emotions… ☹️

My grandparents to my mom and dad: I hope your kids are just as awful as you when you have them!
Me: was born with a large fear of displeasing people and was an only child so there were no siblings to be compared to so in the eyes of my parents, I was an absolute Angel
My parents:

Camera flashes go way back to the glass-plate era, so it would have been grey-eyes at first, and people would have realised that it was a reflection of the flash.

It's just the reality for plenty of folks. Calling it a horrible take is definitely the horrible take.

Oh wow! I always thought it was something to do with cameras picking up light in a different way than we do. But I guess I was mixing up film cameras with cheap digital cameras that don’t filter IR.
I guess it has something to do with the angle of the flash and how we don’t usually see each others eyes at the right angle and lighting for something like that.
Edit: thank you for answering my question. Other people on here don’t seem to have much patience

Yes! I was once laying down kind of parallel with an open window talking to a friend who screamed mid sentence when I tilted my head a certain way haha. She then realized what was happening and took a video so I could see! Super weird but pretty cool

But if the child dies in the womb it was never born in the first place right?

You think for colour photos, the scientists took one and thought "fuck it good enough to take out to the public." There were probably months, if not years of testing. Somewhere in that time, they def came across this issue.
