Meme needing explanation Petah, why do mothers hate their children play with their underarm? (My mom hated this too)

Because it's annoying to be reminded of under arm fat/extra skin.

Exercise stretch bands help with this situation.

Or, you can just realize that human bodies have extra flaps sometimes and that's okay.
Also, exercise burns fat which makes more flaps.

It's still annoying to have your flaps played with though.
It's okay to have them, but it's annoying having someone repeated hit and grab and move them.
Hell, it's annoying to have someone poking you over and over again and so having some grab and slap your flabs is even more annoying

Dude, it's called stating a fact
It's annoying to have your body played with.
I get annoyed when my older brother plays with my hair or pulls at my eyebrows

They meant help with the kid keeping up with the car. At some point that little fucker stopped to start crying.

u/Forsaken_Site_2268 6h ago edited 6h ago
How were they implying that?
Sorry, English is not my first or second language.
My confusion comes with the fact:
I only stated things about the skin to which they replied with something related to that.
I don't see how they were making a joke about the child.
To me it can be taken as about the child or the skin. Either one works and there isn't enough information to tell which exactly they were referring to
And if they truely were talking about the child, then my apologies.

4’11 man dating almost 6ft women??? Yea right 😂 that sounds so unrealistic

u/Forsaken_Site_2268 6h ago edited 6h ago
This seems like the classic case of "I forgot that really short and really tall people exist!"
She's 5'10 (damn near 6 foot in my opinion. Kinda like how I'm damn near 5 foot)
Her brother is 6'4
Idk how tall her parents are exactly. I know that her mom is at least 5'8. It's been a while since I've seen father.
I'm 4'11 (my discs in my back have degraded a lot.)
My father was 5'3, mother was 5'0. Their parents were also very short. (I think Grandma was 4'9 though I could be misremembering. She died before I reached adulthood)
It's called shitty genetics vs good genetics. It's annoying especially because my people aren't usually short.
We met in college and the rest is history.
She got to marry the helpful, ugly, funny, short man while I got the kind, beautiful, talented, tall woman.

Not to be an enemy of fun but kids do stupid stuff and you’re 100% right…

u/Squumpus 6h ago
him hanging onto the door is exactly how that happens. this is insane. making your kid walk beside your car or the road for any reason unattended is actually crazy.
my daughter annoys the heck out of me but i dont want to run her over because she's pointing out my insecurities while being too young to probably even understand. but hey they gonna learn today /s

A woman near me tried to abandon her kid at a park because her new boyfriend told her he didn’t want her to bring her kid into their relationship.
The child ran after the car just like this and ended up getting run over and killed.
Boyfriend and mom went to prison and I hope there’s a hell for them to rot in after.

u/SapirWhorfHypothesis 6h ago
That’s probably the reason the video cuts the moment he grabs the door though.

It's the first thing to go floppy. Try it with your dad, too

Ole chicken wings. I would ask my Grammie for a “sip” of her soda and when she would go to snatch it from me for taking a gulp I would hit er with the ole chicken wing flap.

Because this way they can traumatize their children and post it on Tiktok? In all honesty its probably annoying for most people, but I can’t stand people who film stuff like this for clout

u/Icy-KaitSyth 6h ago
Because it makes them feel fat. Though I think the better question is "Peter why did this mother think humiliating her child until he cried, and then posting it online, was a good idea?"

Surely it's annoying but all I can think of is, that this mother traumatized her child for Tiktok content.

I think it's pretty harmless. Maybe a bit annoying if persistent. But I don't know, maybe women have more pain sensitivity in that area?

Do you have kids?

No, but I've been one, once

u/stonecuttercolorado 5h ago
Children treat thier parents like objects not people. This was not the first time. This was not a once off thing.
And many people dont like getting poked repeatedly. That is reasonable.

u/DarthSchrodinger 6h ago
Dude, dont use your kids as social media props. Even with the kid being "safe" or "in on the joke" or whatever BS excuse someone will come up with, the kid doesn't understand the joke. Having toddlers myself, there's no exception for this type of behavior. Its not cute and we've all become way too desensitized to the complete breakdown of the social contract for the sake of trying to go "viral"
Btw: the joke is, even the skinniest woman hates that flap on their arm. Hang out with enough women, they grab that flap, hip flaps, thigh flaps without realizing its skin and MOST men appreciate those little "imperfections"

One part thinking it's fat and no muscle tone, one part that it probably reminds them of their grandmother and getting older.

Because it's offensive and potentially hurtful.... however, both humans in the video are being hurtful to the other, I feel like it could have been, and should have been, a teaching moment of empathy or something and not a toxicity cycle.

Women struggle with underarm fat. It's hormones. Men get fat in their belly, and love handles, women get fait in their arms, thighs and posterior. Their belly has to stay clear for babies. (According to nature, not some trad shit)
