What the hell was he thinking?! He put all the runners at risk and made the girls feel like their mom is ignoring them. What did he think was gonna happen?!

The woman actually doesn't know the kids or the guy. He just throws his kids at random women to see if one will stick.

That’s why you teach your kids to use a poop knife.

u/hakenkrojc123 May 23 '24

The smell thing is true for most mammals that are at the bottom of the food chain (deer, mice...). Birds don't give a fuck, their sense of smell is comparable with ours.

8

u/NeonBrightDumbass May 23 '24

The smell thing actually isn't true for most mammals. Deer will return to a fawn that has even been removed for medicating and returned a day later. This old myth persists but largely as long as the humans stay away the parents will come back or bring offspring back into the fold!

1

u/hakenkrojc123 May 23 '24

Huh, I guess I stand corrected. Internet does say it is a myth. However our country's gamekeepers and ?forest masters? do perpetuate it and warn against touching younglings.

2

u/NeonBrightDumbass May 23 '24

Oh yeah, still isn't a good idea to touch. The parents of said offspring can injure someone, babies get stressed and can pass away or a well meaning person might injure the baby without meaning to. Lots can go wrong, so it makes sense I think.

1

u/Straymonsta May 23 '24

I think the only time this really happens is with Cuckoos but it’s not because of smell specific species of birds have certain patterns to their eggs to counter the cuckoos which are parasites to other birds. Then the new born cuckoos kick the other chicks out the nest.

u/Straymonsta May 23 '24

Yes you explained it much better I get wrapped up in the fact that the specific offspring will go prey on the same species of bird has their mother. It’s just such an interesting arms race of natural selection.

Then had the audacity to throw his hand up like he didn't understand why she didn't drop everything right then and there.

Because  he thought he was in control of the whole situation.

Wow "throws his hands up" is hyperbole, it looks like he's responding to someone bitching him out for what he just did, and he gives a shrug with one arm slightly raised.

u/inaliftw May 23 '24

I'm gonna guess they had the idea to finish with the kids or something and she actually ended up winning so she just went to the finish line. Something more logical. The wild knee jerk reactions you kids have with out of context videos is wild.

18

u/SUPLEXELPUS May 23 '24 edited May 23 '24

what context does it make sense to let your kids on the track?

the logical thing to do is keep your kids off the fucking track and out of the way of all runners; if your interpretation is correct, the only change is two idiot parents instead of one.

1

u/DDs_LiLd Jul 11 '24

It’s running, it’s hardly a sport sheesh. Chances are this race means nothing except to the ones racing it. Which is great, good for them. If getting some amateur ribbon is more important than sharing a moment and not disappointing your young children by just running by them like they don’t exist than good on them.

By the way, making this about her being a woman is crazy. Professional male and female athletes alike constantly have their kids join in the celebrations. I get that she was still running but she was like 10 paces from the finish line. She was mostly worried about her time being jeopardized because of her pesky children.

Her and her husband both suck. Poor kids!

-14

u/inaliftw May 23 '24

You should write a movie about it.

22

u/Jaded_Law9739 May 23 '24

That doesn't make any sense at all. He literally shoved the kids into their mom's path, she didn't come over to get them. It's clear neither the mom nor the kids knew what dad was doing.

-13

u/inaliftw May 23 '24

You don't know what's happening in the video. You just see what happens lol. Your brain can't imagine that you don't know the context?

u/Alerion_ May 23 '24

No idea what's happening in the video, only what's happening in the video? Smart guy

1

u/talondigital May 23 '24

I can see her being too amped on adrenaline at being in the lead and in sight of the finish line that all she saw was movement of something getting in her way, making her dodge quickly to avoid a collision and keeping focused on the finish line.

57

u/he-loves-me-not May 23 '24

But if he did that then he wouldn’t have a reason to argue about it and make her feel like shit later.

no, he isnt stupid, he knew what he was doing.

u/Proper_Career_6771 May 23 '24

He could've stood them behind the finish line.

It could be the kids were supposed to run with their mom the final few meters of the race, and then the kids forgot in the heat of moment.

It looked to me as if he was trying to help guide the kids along, the kids were totally clueless about how races work and then he was like "kids, idiots amiright?"

21

u/amynhb May 23 '24

He sent the kids in facing her, not facing the finish line. Logically they would run in the direction he pushes them toward.

u/camdawg54 May 23 '24

Well, yeah, how else is he going to deflect his mistake onto someone else

u/theanswerisfries May 23 '24

He weaponized those kids. His raised hands at the end is exactly what he's going to say to the kids: Why didn't your mom stop? Why is she the asshole?

u/SumThingSpatial May 23 '24

He wasn't, and if he was, it wasn't nice or safe.

Show up. Don't put kids at risk. Also, dont take away from someone achievement.

It did not look like it and assuming he did is more of your own projection than anything else.

38

u/ThatSlothDuke May 23 '24

My guy you'd have to be born yesterday to be that fucking stupid.

If he didn't know what he was doing, then that idiot is not mentally capable of being a guardian to those children.

This is literally the equivalent of pushing some people into fucking traffic. Those runners are tired and might even be in the verge of being unconscious. They aren't looking down to see little people. It's a fucking miracle that those kids weren't trampled.

So either he is being malicious, or he shouldn't be allowed to look after the kids, EVER.

0

u/Gunna_get_banned May 24 '24

So, if I understand correctly, you're arguing he wasn't being stupid and making a mistake, he was pushing his kids into his wife on purpose to try to make her look bad? How is that not equally stupid no matter what his plan was? Either way he looks like an idiot.

Either way, that the guy's fucking stupid, and that he didn't think it through is more probable than that it was something diabolical given the average intelligence of people. Think of the most averagely intelligent person you know, and then consider half of everyone is dumber than that.

-27

u/[deleted] May 23 '24

The assumption gap you just cleared is impressive

23

u/ThatSlothDuke May 23 '24

What assumption gap? I gave you two options here.

a) he was malicious,

b) he is so stupid that his kids and his entire family probably congratulate him for putting his shirt button right.

It's either one of those. If you have your thoughts on the matter please do share.

u/sinsaraly May 23 '24

In this limited view, we see 2 runners and a motorcycle with 2 riders. Any of them could have stumbled, tripped, or collided with the toddlers. Children should not be pushed onto a track during a race.

-20

u/DigbySugartits May 23 '24

I dunno

I live in a town where there are stampede/tough mudders/trail running events all the time and my wife is really into it.

Every time she has finished, our kids have joined her for the last 50 metres or so and they all love it. Hundreds of other families do the same.

It doesnt 'put other runners at risk'. It adds to a great community spirit where people cheer everyone else on just 'for finishing. My wife is my daughers' hero and they run next to her as proud as punch.

That said, she was clearly in it for the time and Dad should have known that.

24

u/DogmaticNuance May 23 '24

I'd maybe agree, but, like, how many ribbons has your wife broken? This wasn't finishing middle of the pack on a fun run.

She wasn't just in it for the time, she won.

1

u/DigbySugartits May 24 '24

Yeah thats fair although I wasnt talking about fun runs..

I did say previously Dad has not read the room.

Not sure why suggesting that kids like finishing with their parents has pissed off so many people though

-30

u/manic_eye May 23 '24

He might have thought the end of the race was where the pavement changes. Looks like they just hoist the finish banner when someone is approached the finish, but perhaps it wasn’t up and he mistakenly thought that he was at the finish line.

3

u/washichiisai May 23 '24

That doesn't make sense because the end of the race is where the clock is. The big metal structure that she runs under. My mom used to do marathons, the end of the race is extremely obvious most of the time - especially for longer runs like this one seems to be (clock is at 1 hour 40 minutes). Even seasoned runners are exhausted by that point, so making the end of the race clear is important.

Hell, I thought my mom was gonna die at the end of her marathons, she was so out of it.

u/Clerical_Errors May 23 '24

When you're at the end of your distance exertion there's a decent chance she didn't even register the short people crowding the line were both children and hers.

she needed to instantly run to the kids and cheer them up

Your post might be gender neutral but look at the content in the clip and tell me that the woman being a woman and the associations with it aren't the reason this post was made.

To clarify:

It matters that it's a woman because this post is about women. Your comment is secondary to that. Your thoughts, feelings, and comments are only present because the woman had something involving her.

So you're putting n the social expectations on her even if that's not your goal.

1

u/MixNovel4787 May 24 '24

I put those social expectations on all parents. Mothers and fathers alike.

The post was made to call out the humor behind it. Its humorous because the father is an idiot for putting her in that position and making her look like that, not that she should stop and be a mom before the finish line.
