LMAO!!! Thanx SF for posting that! That lil sh it was pretty high!!! The best part was when he asked "is this going to last forever?"
:lol:
:lol:
Sorry but watching that was actually scary... That kid is a perfect example of why kids should be kept under watch in a clinic after medication given to them until it wears off. That kid was old and big enough to get out of his seat and almost did, could have kicked the back of the drivers seat and could have just ripped those stitches out of his mouth.. Needless to say the other 100 things that could have gone totally bad..
People just have too damn much liberty huh?
With all this freedom someone is bound to get hurt.

......mmmmm K :angry3:
I read another post of yours and I maybe get where you're coming from.
Perhaps the doors have safety locks and since the car was stopped maybe someone like the mom was back there with him on the ride back? I noticed he was out of his safety seat.
One hopes anyway.
My bad.

Hey all of the above was standard procedure in the 70's & 80's..... I turned out just fine.... now pass me my damn smokes before I hit one of you..... God I'm so pissed right now cuz my happy meals are cold.
Oh gezz please, being a little over protective are we?
When I was his age I didn't have a car seat to worry about falling out of.... and if he pulled the stiches out, well I guess he'd learn a valuable lesson right then and there wouldn't he?
He was being watched, by his father it would seem, and he probably knows more about his son's behavior then any of us..... he was kept under control and perfectly fine.
Exactly how was that video an example of bad parenting? Did the father drug the kid and perform the operation himself?
What's wrong with video taping your child's first experience with something like that? He was probably all goofy when he picked him up and throught about video taping it once they got to the car, after he determined his son was alright.
Cripes people like to put other people under a microscope like their own sh*t don't stink.
There's a hell of a lot worse crap out there to worry about in regards to parenting then any of that.

100 different things can go wrong at any given time.... what would you have said if the kid never had a child seat?
Focus on the bad things that never happened and ignore the good things that did.... the father had him in a car seat, he told him not to get out of his seat, he told him not to touch the stiches.... the child did what he was told..... what the hell is the problem? The kid was effected by drugs from the dentist, he didn't have brain damage, cripes.
If you wrap your kid in bubble wrap and hold him or her to your teet all your life, they'll never have a life of their own.
Life is risk, life is danger.... you can do all you can to prevent most of the obvious things (which he did) but somethings at some time are going to occur eventually.
You can't be with your kid all their lives and eventually they're going to do things outside of your own knowlege and sight.... you can only trust that you brought them up decently to do the right thing.... other then that, there's not much else you can do, other then shove them back up your vagina or arse to protect them from the outside world.

And let me guess, this is where the people who have kids tell me that since I don't have a child of my own I don't understand.
Maybe those who feel this way need to have a different direction of view to bring them back to reality. I understand that there is a strong connection with parents and their children and it's a given instinct to want to protect your children..... but I've seen way too many parents get sucked way too far into this mentality that their kids don't really have much of a life of their own..... and they revolve their status as a parent by judging others.
How about those who do this actually focus on their own kids.
Are they happy, do they enjoy their lives and family? Good.
Do the other kids and their families you judge seem to be happy and enjoy their lives?
They do? Good, then get over it.

I wouldn't be surprised if soon there's a law saying parents have to bubblewrap their kids and wear a safety helmet just as soon as they get out of bed in the morning.
Geez I know eh? How many times have we heard stories of kids falling out of the top bunk and such? It's an epidemic! :lol:
When I was his age I would lie in the back window and stare at the stars. I pretended the reflections of headlights in the trees were UFOs. My parents sat in the front with the windows rolled up chain smoking and everyone drove 70-100 mph everywhere.
So I have a lot of trouble with all this safety BS and find freedom is much more valuable than saving the government a little money (that they steal off of us BTW).
Yes some people died. That's their choice. That's freedom.
It seems like Canada has turned into a nation of Nazis.
Parenting? Looks like the dad was keeping an eye on him. Making sure he didn't pull the stitches out. Sure, he was being a jerk by letting him see his extra set of eyes (any parent knows to only let one set show when your kids are tripping... duh), but other than that he was being calm, quiet, concerned. If anyone wants to point blame, maybe look in the direction of the doc that turfed the kid out of his office. The dad seemed to be chuckling but doing a good job. He wasn't even driving while videotaping, which would have made it all MUCH trippier and more interesting, but hey, sometimes you have to sacrifice youtube interest for the kid's safety.
As for the seat.... He did nearly come out of his seat, but the baby seat next to him wasn't his... it was presumably for a younger sibling. He's much too big for a booster let alone a five point harness (more proof that the dad missed a chance to totally mess with the kid's head)

Exactly but back then many things were different.. I wonder how I made it this far to be honest.. I would NEVER put my kids life in danger like that..
BC - I've had my kids to the dentist lots. Teeth pulled for room for others, braces, the whole bit. Not once did I ever bring a child home in that state and not once did they leave the dentist's chair in that state. I really don't understand what they could have given him. My daughter-in-law is a CDA. I'm going to ask her if this would happen in her dental office because I don't think it would.
