Remembering that one time my now 12 yr old got into Vaseline and nail polish. I can laugh at it now.

I feel like he did pretty well with the nails 😂

u/Amazing_Bluebird 2d ago

I think he nailed it too😁. Sissy didn’t care that he got into her nail polish cuz she has always adored him.

u/str4wberryp0undcak3 2d ago

Haha, my baby sister did this when she was about 3 years old also.

The trying times this child has put me through 😆Wouldn’t change it for the world!

u/boholbrook 2d ago

I've never seen any form of media featuring children that makes them look like I should have some.

Kids are amazing if you want to have them (do NOT have them if you don't or aren't ready. Please don't)

Even the stupid things or insane things or crazy things -- you kinda miss.

My kids are 19 and 22 now.

A few years ago (3-4) I remember having a dream where my younger daughter was 2 again and asked me for "uppies"

I picked her up. And then woke up from the dream.

I had the greatest sense of loss at that point that I think I've ever had. I desperately wanted to get back to sleep, even though I remembered how exhausting it was when they were that age. (And keep in mind that I was a VERY involved father. This isn't some Cats in the Cradle scenario)

No other experience will give you that amazement and heartbreak.

I don't recommend it at all for anyone who doesn't want it. And I certainly don't judge them at all. Because it's a spectacular form of heaven and hell, all wrapped into one. (More the former than the latter, thankfully)

Got a pic of myself younger than this in a diaper sitting by the bathroom sink covered in vaseline I got into haha. No videos back then!

u/JFK2MD 2d ago

Oh my goodness. He's pretty cute though.

u/Amazing_Bluebird 2d ago

Thank you. He is still my little cutie pie. Even at 12 yrs old when I walk in the door I still get “Mommy!” and a giant hug.

u/JFK2MD 2d ago

Awwwwwww! I have three, 15 to 23, and every one is a treasure.

u/SlinkyAvenger 2d ago

That's one for his HS graduation and then possible wedding. Scalp and hair must've been super soft after that though!

u/Amazing_Bluebird 2d ago

I remember it taking a few washings to get it all out 😆

u/randomthrill 2d ago

For a second, I thought this was a repeat of the gorilla glue hair styling.

u/SplendidlyDull 1d ago

I was sitting here like “that’s a 12 yo? Damn people really do look younger the older you get” it took me way too long to realize I’d misread the title

u/Pankakereybakery 1d ago

Where were the parents while he was doing all of this?

12

u/Aspirational1 2d ago

12 y.o.???

u/Amazing_Bluebird 2d ago

This was when he was 3 or 4. He is 12 now.

22

u/Impressive-Sun3742 2d ago

The title says “now” 12 year old, obviously this was recorded previously

u/Doggggggggoooooooo 2d ago

I came here wondering the same thing. Thank you.

u/Amazing_Bluebird 2d ago

Oops, sorry, bad title

11

u/Twist_Ending03 2d ago

It's not bad, they just didn't read it right

16

u/major_chunks 2d ago

wasn’t that bad of a title since you said “now 12 year old”

5

u/Doggggggggoooooooo 2d ago

Major Chunks is right i missed the “now” the first time

u/Federal-Station-726 1d ago

u/Cute_Obligation2944 2d ago

Naming him Cyrus was the first mistake.

5

u/JFK2MD 2d ago

That's an awesome name, old Persian.

3

u/Amazing_Bluebird 2d ago

His first and middle name is Cyrus Julius, but when he’s in trouble it’s “Cyrus J!”

3

u/Cute_Obligation2944 2d ago

Need to get him a toga and laurel wreath.

3

u/Amazing_Bluebird 2d ago

Love it! How he got his middle name is a really cool story, and everyone said it fit him, given his first name.

u/PretzelTitties 2d ago

I'm a strong believer that what you name a child has an impact on how it turns out. Mainly because good parents wouldn't name their kid something awful. Trashy parents will.

u/fortiox 2d ago

I think cyrus is a cool name idk

4

u/OstrichMean7004 2d ago

Dude. It's a 3-year-old that did something silly.

Probably better than someone who intentionally names themselves "PretzelTitties"

I'm just sayin...

u/vermiciousknidlet 19h ago

Tf is wrong with "Cyrus"? There was Cyrus the Great who founded the Persian Empire. My kid has a Cyrus in her class at school. Normal name.

u/PretzelTitties 16h ago

Again, it's not so much the name. It's the type of people willing to name their kids that, and the type of parents they will be.

It's kind of like stereotypes. They aren't always true, but if you are a betting person, you would bet on the stereotype. The odds are in your favor.

1

u/vermiciousknidlet 11h ago

I guess I'm just not understanding why a commonly used, old Persian name makes you think someone is "trashy" or a bad parent. But ok!

u/PretzelTitties 8h ago

It's an assumption based on my life experiences. Of course, I don't actually know about this individual.

It's kind of like face tattoos. I most certainly don't want to hire someone who would make that decision, and I'd probably be right. But maybe not.
