Oh!
I am a mom, but used to sometimes carry my oldest by her feet, in one hand, squirming like a fish, when she had a fit somewhere out in the world when she was toddler age. The change of perspective seemed to help. That kid also ended up being an acrobat.
My brother always held babies so awkwardly, even his own, it was funny.
I'm a full-grown adult and hanging upside down & doing flips absolutely is my antidepressant & mood regulator!
My two year old finds being held up by the feet funny so this will sometimes literally end a tantrum with laughter.
I wish someone could carry ME around like this.
Yeah sorry mate, most I can do is spend years of my life mastering the art of suspension bondage
:3
Someones getting the hang of it
You may want to call me daddy but i'll always be dad
Just building up the kid's imagination by helping him "fly."
As a dad of a newborn, they are not really that fragile. When changing their diapers I just use one hand to hold one leg to lift up. I asked a doctor about this, and he said it's no problem She does not care, she has a fun time with me switching diapers. Can't do it when shes older though.
Just protect their necks and head, besides that they are robust.
Even their necks are wild.
The writer and ex-doctor Adam Kay wrote in his book "This is Going to Hurt", about his time in the maternity ward of an NHS hospital in the 2000s, that he would find it funny, visiting friends and their new kids and his friends reminding him to support the neck and stuff, when in the past he has had forceps around the head of a child and has leaned back with his full weight trying to assist in the removal of a child trapped in the birth canal, and both baby and mother coming out of it completely fine.
There is some trauma associated with that type of forceps extraction. There’s definitely some damage to the baby’s skull and mother’s vaginal canal. However most of the time there will be no long term issues. It’s only used if the birth is going poorly.
Yeah, the whole experience is a relatively traumatic one, the idea of bringing metal implements to bear probably means the alternative is worse, but part of expertise is in weighing options and risks.
As an aside, I believe Sylvester Stallone's speech is due to nerve damage from a forceps incident at birth.
Meanwhile, a wolf or cat does this and it's "natural."
It's like an animal carrying their cubs.
What's up with the door? Ah, generated I guess... Are dads likd this even?
Possibly, but there's a weird line across his shirt too in the same place. It reminds me of a bad panorama but that wouldn't make sense here since it's vertical.
Kids put parents in boxes. Kid in picture probably giggles like crazy when dad does this. If a kid wants to ride her little tykes bike down her little tykes slide, she’s much more likely to try it first with one parent over the other.
The kid is flying through the house like Superman and looks so blasé about the situation
We used to call it the baby briefcase!
I laughed too loud.
Is this AI? I hope not :(
Why? Will it matter?
It does. I mean how is it funny if it's not real?
It's describing a phenomenon. The image is there only for illustration purposes.
It's a fake img pretending to be real tho
In the shitpost community.
Idk man, i would rather not have fake images you can't tell from real ones in my feed.
Cause: a) It's AI. AI is proven to be bad for environment. b) Doesnt matter if its shitpost. I won't mind it too much if it was like a cartoon or something. But when it is a very realistic fake image and you don't mention it is AI that's awful
To be clear, I don't know if it's AI or not. Neither do I care in this context.
I am not the original poster.
About your trust in photos in your feed that they are real, you shouldn't trust them.
Everything can be generated using AI. your best bet is to verify it yourself in crucial contexts.
The top reverse image search tools for me are Google and Yandex. If you can't verify it yourself than assume the worst.
Alr, then. My bad
I mean, that's more Uncle energy to be honest....
