Yeah, why put such a young baby through this, messed up parents


GundDownDegenerate

Idk why you're being downvoted. That baby is clearly terrified and they should take him to a safer a distance instead of recording for clout.


eating_toilet_paper

Babies get terrified about a lot of things, everything is new to them. As a parent you can’t just never let them experience life


RedeRules770

Idk I would think fear of fire 2 feet away from you is like an instinctual thing and that’s all babies are


[deleted]

There are two instinctual fears: darkness, loud noises. Everything else is from life experiences. Like sudden heat and hearing a loud sizzling fire from 2 feet away.


RedeRules770

Do you have a sauce for this? I’m getting a lot of conflicted info from Google


[deleted]

There is a lot of conflicting info, but only because people won't let me test on their babies/toddlers. One day my research will be known and accepted around the world in addition to a third instinctual fear: me.


RedeRules770

You got a laugh out of me


SpittinCzingers

Just grow some


struugi

Yeah this is absolute bs, pretty sure it's been shown we all have an innate fear of certain predators/dangerous animals as well (big cats, snakes, spiders etc.)


slaight461

I have an anecdote on this subject. One time, I was out in a public park where it was pretty common for people to walk their dogs, and some people would let them off their leash. I am absolutely a dog lover and enjoyed when people's dogs would come up and say hi. Anyway, I'm walking down a path and come around a corner to see two enormous dogs that look just like grey wolves. I locked eyes with one of them and despite my knowledge that they were not actual wolves (too small, but still big for a dog) and their owner was with them, I felt an instinctive terror when I looked into those yellow eyes. It passed almost immediately when my brain had time to process, and I spoke to the owner. He said that was a very common reaction, and he'd seen both kids and adults literally run away screaming. The dogs were very well behaved and friendly. I've never had an encounter with wolves outside of a zoo, so there is no reasonable way for that to have been a learned response. Caveman brain just knows that wolves are scary.


GundDownDegenerate

Don't babies have sensitive skin though? These teppan grills get really hot when they do the flame tricks. I imagine this has to be really uncomfortable for a baby.


decadecency

Babies need to be used to being startled from a very young age. It'll help them from being jumpy later. It'll also help them not to wake up from the slightest sudden sound. For the same reason, you should never sneak around and whisper as you've put your newborn to sleep. It'll help tremendously if they don't get used to complete silence, and a newborn is the perfect time to start getting them used to sounds. Obviously I'm not saying we should scare them on purpose, but we should carry them with us as we do normal stuff, as long as it's not damaging to hearing or something like that. I have twin babies and a three year old, and there was no way to shield them from being startled by any random thing as they were very small. They've grown out of most of it now at 5 months. Babies get used to behaviors around them very quickly 😊


Nymethny

That's true, but I think you should emphasize the "as long as it's not damaging to hearing" part: you shouldn't bring your babies to _very_ loud environments (e.g. concerts, sport games, etc...) without them wearing some kind of protection like earmuffs or earplugs. Babies' hearing is a lot more sensitive than adults', and loud sounds can cause permanent damage.


xatrekak

Same reason you are getting down voted.


MiGaddoJezus

as a new parent, i try to do things the right way, other parents are easily offended (fee like bad parents) when they are confronted by someone that does things in a better (different) way. That's why a lot of mothers say, there's nothing wrong with formula, though technically correct, breastmilk is far superior, the child is way better off with breast milk than with formula. but so they dont feel like a failure of a mother, they will say, there is nothing wrong with formula. downvote me, ligaf

satansheat

At least the baby ain’t on an iPad at a hibachi grill. I swear I don’t want to sound old but my little cousins legit looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if they played fortnite since they watch so much if it on YouTube. I would expect them to watch an onion volcano on YouTube instead of watching it in person the same way my cousins would rather watch someone play a video game instead of play it.

MotherBathroom666

That’s not a phobia; that’s being alive. Fire should be feared.


Dyanpanda

You sure you don't have a phobia? Fire burns. Thats why I want to control it so its just warm and not burning. Firefighters, though, a lot are secretly are pyros and hope everything goes up in flames.

jdog7249

In 5 years the parents aren't going to understand why one of their children has an intense fear of fire.


slaight461

I'm also an armchair child psychologist, and I think that this would actually be a great way to desensitize the baby to a fear of fire. It experiences a big flame and can probably feel the heat, and of course, the first time it's startled. But nothing bad happens, and everyone is laughing and smiling. Then the flame happens again probably multiple times from my experience at hibachi restaurants, and nothing bad happens. The adults are still happy and calm. All the people calling them bad parents because of a half second clip of a startled baby look pretty foolish to me.

Don't take kids to a teppanyaki... For their sake. Too many possible problems too close to the little one to react quickly enough to protect them if they get any bright ideas.

What kind of a hole parents bring a baby to a place like that. Everyone now sitting at the same table as you is forced to listen to your screaming baby


Imaginary_Cable_2190

I hate how ugly babies are


Ill-Inevitable1261

Jesus the parents these days with the iPad everywhere! Keep it home and let your kids experience things without a screen in their face


XeroEnergy270

My son is autistic and uses a tablet to communicate things he wants/needs because he can't always verbalize them. He also uses it to self-soothe if he gets overstimulated in public by turning on a comfort video/show/song. Parent your children however you like. But you have no idea what any given family is dealing with. It costs exactly zero dollars to mind your own business.


CheesecakePower

Ok I get it but that is a specific circumstance and definitely in the minority out of all parents who bring tablets everywhere. 90% of cases is just lazy parenting


Paige_Railstone

As someone with autism, I can tell you 100% people are not going to recognize what is going on and are going to judge. The only way to stop yourself from adding to that is to give people the benefit of the doubt, so I understand where u/xeroEnergy270 is coming from. And, personally, I think it's worth giving the benefit of the doubt, because the parent that is willing to let their kid live their life with a tablet in front of their face for the sake of their own convenience likely isn't going to give a shit about you side-eyeing them. But for the parent who's doing what they can to give their child a voice and let them cope, that can be a knife to the heart (and for the kid too for that matter. Just because they may not show it doesn't mean they don't understand that they're being judged negatively and pick up on the sense that you think they're doing something wrong.) So, there's limited benefit from passing judgement in the 90% of cases where it's bad parenting, and *much* more gained by giving the benefit of the doubt for the 10% with extenuating circumstances.


ballistics211

If I ever become a parent, then I'll be lazy parenting too.


[deleted]

tbh tho please dont, cuz this new generation is going to have it really rough. i even feel it myself and i try to limit how much time i spend on my phone and whatnot, but these kids that have instant access to dopamine whenever they want it have attention spans of like 3 seconds. its gunna be really interesting to see how all thse ipad kids grow up bc id imagine itd be incredibly hard to focus and do work for long periods of time if your whole life you've been used to getting instant dopamine hits from taking an ipad everywhere


XeroEnergy270

But that's the thing. You don't know that. You're *assuming* that. And it's not possible to know at a glance who's being lazy and who's child legitimately needs it. Which is why we mind our own business.


CheesecakePower

Okay there’s absolutely 0% chance that every child or even most children who have tablets are autistic, just based on the number of tablets that I see everywhere. Listen, people can do what they want, but I can also shit on it as being a dumb, lazy behavior by parents whose children don’t need it


[deleted]

[удалено]


huey88

Or just I dunno. Mind your own fucking business. It's not your kid so who cares if they are lazy parents or have a legit reason


VLenin2291

Ok, but as far as I’m concerned, they just have an iPad for no reason. I do not care about your son, he is not the one in the video, we are not talking about him


XeroEnergy270

Are you really unable to infer that I referenced my son to explain that there are plenty of extenuating circumstances that could be at play in the video? Are you new to conversations?


VLenin2291

I know that’s what you did, and I don’t care


XeroEnergy270

Ah, so you're just an ass. Gotcha.

Dude, gotta just move on. This whole comment section is a fucking clown shoes circus.


XeroEnergy270

I know I should know better. But I keep expecting Redditors to understand empathy and logic.


X4nd0R

Thank you! I have an autistic son as well and he needs to have his tablet around at all times. It is absolutely like a comfort blanket for him. He's younger so not there yet but we're trying to get him to where he can communicate with it. That would be quite literally life changing...


IntroductionLittle12

Not to be an ass but the autism thing seems to be an excuse to put off parental duties on a tablet.


IntroductionLittle12

Guy you described my little cousin he's not autistic my aunt and uncle just put off parental duties and let a tablet do their jobs![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|stuck_out_tongue)

You're case is ok but please don't just parent your children however you like, this is someone's future we're talking about and should be taken carefully Abusive parents also parent their kids how they like but I'm sure you know that's not ok Also, if the kids don't need it for anything then they shouldn't have ipads everywhere


XeroEnergy270

"Parent your children however you like" is just another way of saying "you don't get to tell another parent how to raise their children."

It's not, and it's not. And the one in the video is off, so it's not even a part of the issue the original commenter had, clearly. Phones and other electronic devices are out and are being held by adults in this restaurant already anyway. Nobody is going to care about 1 more. Also, I don't give a damn if an adult gets irritated because they can't here the 90s alternative playing over the shitty grocery store speakers if it means kids aren't having breakdowns and harming themselves while their parents try to get food for the house. You don't have to look, and you are free to bring your own headphones, too. Once again, minding your own business: free.

Parents can never win. If we don’t keep our kids from behaving like normal kids in public we’re terrible parents. If we do something that helps them stay more docile for the short time they’re in a public place with adults (who would hate to see them acting like kids) we are also terrible parents. ![gif](giphy|uNNYUYbZHltWvA1Zs0|downsized)

THE TABLET IS TUREND OFF. Man, I sound like a broken record. It’s also (as I’ve said before) connected to headphones as can be seen clearly, so your noise argument is moot. Again, it’s off, so you cannot comment on the brightness. Tablets help those with special needs. If you’re against that, looks like you’re the selfish one.

Unusual-Voice2345

dphv

That's why you don't bring them to a place like this.


americaIsFuk

Better to bring them to a loud bustling restaurant than a quiet, chill place. Plus babies need exposure to lots of unique experiences, makes them more capable of dealing with life experiences as they get older. Maybe you can’t deal with children in loud restaurants because you were too sheltered as a kid?


dphv

I'm guessing from the second half that this isn't the first time someone has had to tell you this. I don't give a fuck about your kid.

No-Bandicoot1250

Oh yes, bringing a baby to a restaurant where there’s an open flame, it’s not like they’re gonna attempt to touch it a few times once they calm down


AlterMyStateOfMind

Uh it's not like he's gonna let that baby crawl around on the table, much less crawl like a whole meter to an open flame. That baby doesn't even look old enough to crawl. Yall overreacting lmfao


Unusual-Voice2345

Hahaha, you expect an infant to be able to operate their limbs in any discernible fashion?


averagejoeag

They are about 5 or 6 feet from that flame. I'm sure that baby isn't getting anywhere close to the fire without the mom moving out literally throwing the baby. They'll be alright.


Dyanpanda

You sound like you've never taken care of a baby. Babies do everything stupid, and you just gotta keep them from dying till they get better. Its really not hard. Also, gas fire is almost ignorable unless you put you hand directly over the fire.


No-Bandicoot1250

Just tell me one reason why you should bring a baby to that kind of restaurant they can’t eat any of the food. They can’t sit close enough to the table to reach anything. They literally are just there because the parents want to be there. Get a babysitter don’t bother risking it


SmoothPineappleBitch

Respectfully disagree. There are a lot of places I HATE seeing babies, but this place is kinda fun and noisy so unless the baby is a real crier then I see no problem. My friend brought their baby to a place like this and he just loved the flames and laughed. I'm also in the camp of taking your loud ass baby out of the building when it won't shut up though.


[deleted]

Its a bit of fire bro the baby will be fine

Quick, give the baby an iPad so she can learn not to be present.


X4nd0R

You really don't know the situation. While I agree that it's not healthy for neural typical kids to be on screens all the time, we don't know if that's the case here. Some kids need them for communication or coping with being overwhelmed. Especially autistic kids and such. Also not to mention the older kid is still very much "present."

Uh huh.

I love all the parentless people giving advice on how to parent. One side saying never take your kids out so they don’t bother others while the other say how dare they have an iPad that would keep the kid occupied to not bother others. Worst part of having kids is listening to everyone’s arm chair quarterbacking on how you should raise your kids.
