By forbidding any playfulness involving marriage, the children could think marriage is somehow wrong....if you wanna get psychological about it.

I don't think discouraging marriage is in anyway helpful to anyone. Civilization is built around marriage.

When it turns into an actual fight it's time to stop imo.

Civilized societies are built around the stability and strength of the family unit, which a society of long-term marriage unions comes closest to guaranteeing.

Children fight about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Your point is moot.

At what point does an adult intervene :pus:


this fight went too far imo.

reply to post by ProphecyPhD


I'm not saying adults shouldn't intervene in heated arguments. You said playing marriage leads to heated arguments, therefore playing marriage should not be allowed. Teaching kids how to play civilly is the way to go, imo, as opposed to just banning whatever they're arguing about.

Actually.. The unicorn in your avatar is more disturbing than the video

That video is funny IMO

As someone who IS interested in sociology, psychology and human behaviorism,
I not only find the analysis of this video interesting, but the reactions and perspectives of others about it are just as interesting!

I think we could enter into some interesting anaysis, for example, on the values and ideas about marriage in specific cultures.....

What could be read from these childrens behaviors in terms of values about marriage? Here's what I would pull from it-
They both have been exposed to marriages in which the man is expected to carry a heavy responsibility in terms of confronting the exterior world and opposition, and providing for a family.
The women in their environment are expected to be responsible for the interior management of the home and family relationships, and in encouraging the growth, both physically and psychologically, of their children and husband.

Look at the behavior of these two! They are both experimenting with developing the skills for that.
Watch how the girl tries to show the boy (females more often try to use the techniques of mimickry than boys, and that is I think perhaps a biological difference developed through evolution for good reasons).

She works on presenting herself face to face with him, standing squarely, and affirming her intent. When his emotional reactiosn start to stimulate her and her voice begins to get as shrill as his, you see her make an effort (successfully!) to lower the emotion, speak calmly, and again affirm her intent to him with less emotion.

She was showing him how to oppose her effectively. If he had chosen to mimick her behavior (and thta is probably what the mom was hoping subconsciously he would do eventually) than he would have found it to be the effective approach, and put him in a position of power here. He would have learned a behavior that could come in handy when he has to go out and face conflicts in the exterior world. If he doesn't learn this early, his wife will have to replay all this and try to teach him as an adult, which will be harder to do.

Unfortunately, as many of us women end up figuring out one day, the male mind does not work upon mimickry (keep trying to do something nice for him thinking he will get the idea, reciprocate, and do the same thing for you, it won't happen!). They are more wired for opposition, hierarchy, separation, and contrast. The boy is not going to try to do as she is doing, he is more likely to do the opposite.

He is still trying to be a person who reacts and fights opposition- he is externalizing. It would be more problematic for him if he internalized- became withdrawn and refused to verbalize at all. He is practiing being a man who projects his will outside. So far, he is still immature and unsure of his strength so what he is projecting is colored with his fear.

He'll learn. He's working on it, as is she. One of the things about the mimickry technique of teaching is that it has effects which come about more in the long term with the male mind, and towards individuals who are NOT the one who taught them it! To use the example of the woman who keeps doing a certain act she hopes he will actually do for her, he will most likely do it someday- for someone else! Like his mother, or his secretary? (and she'll get pissed as hell, not understanding this).

But in this sort of case, the boy may find himself using that calm affirmation tone and strong facing stance later on, with some boy in the playground. It worked for her, put her in the powerful position of heirachy in that instance, so he will end up using it. We all have the drive for power and subconsciously pick up hints on how to get it from all those around us.

little owen just discovered married life......poor guy

Maybe, maybe not...I'm not out to judge a mom for how she is raising a kid unless she's doing something obvious and horrible. There was nothing obvious or horrible in this clip. Perhaps you have not been around many kids, but I've seen such shouting crying matches all the time. Some kids just do that for basically no reason at all...it's quite common. This does not look like a serious situation at all to me. And I think it's quite clear that the majority of those who have replied to you thread agree with me wholeheartedly. You are simply over reacting to a non-situation. Kids cry....kids scream.....It's not a bid deal. Some of them do it so much you have to find the humor in it at times. There's no abuse here at all. In fact I probably would have handled the situation in a similar way.....calmly asking the kid why he's upset. Make him think about why he's acting the way he is. I probably wouldn't have filmed it and put in on youtube....but then again, it's not my kids. It's not my place to judge, as I don't know the kids personally (though I've known kids that act just like this everyday about every little arguement they get in....I think it's reasonable to assume that's whats going on here)

The mother isn't screaming....the mother isn't hitting them. The mother isn't doing anything....she's letting the kids handle it themselves. I don't see a problem here, and I don't think most anyone else would either.

"Hi. Welcome to ATS, where we're all a bunch of crazy, depressed, po'd, paranoid, gun-toting, survivalist, conspiracy theorists who all think that something huge is going to happen on some arbitrary date that keeps on changing because none of us actually know what's going to happen in the future, assuming that ANYTHING happens at all."

lolololol that was great

Thank you for bringing this out into the open. I found the video to be very distrurbing. As parents we are role models, what was she trying to teach? And watching the emotional distress of her son seemed purely sociopathic........

And yes little girls are ingrained since birth probably to want to get married and have children. I was 4 years old pretending I was, but I was identifying with my pregnant mother at the time....

My 8 year old daughter asks alot about marriage but I keep telling her to not even worry about it.

She needs to worry about going to college, finding a great career and then think about children and marriage if she wants it....

Okay if you want to see how parents film their kids doing and saying things then try this one out.



These are goof videos being made for youtube and nothing more. And when did having a little laugh at your kids become a crime. Since you want to start threads like this why not go to youtube and start threads on all the funny kid videos you will see, because there are enough to keep you busy for many many weeks.For those who flagged this thread all I ask is "WHY"?

I posted this earlier,but this video is more disturbing than what the OP posted.



Just a bit to young to be introducing this into a young girls mind. Will this cause young girls to want a baby as soon as they can, probably not but who really knows? Since your a parent would you give your young daughter a toy like this?So there are much more disturbing videos out there than then the OP's video.

I need a Psych major in here to back me up.

Here is what a psychologist has been studying in this field.

Nora Newcombe, a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia, recently tested the ability of 11-year-olds to recognize pictures of former classmates from their preschool years. She showed them a series of pictures of 3- and 4-year-old children, including some images of children they knew seven years earlier. Most 11-year-olds claimed not to recognize any of their former classmates. But when Newcombe wired up their hands to measure sweating — also called a galvanic skin response — the children showed biological signs of remembering the faces of those with whom they'd attended preschool. As they looked at pictures of children they had never known, the instrument measured no sweating responses. "It was like an unconscious emotional memory existed even when there is no conscious memory," says Newcombe

abcnews.go.com...

So if these kids are younger than that (which they appear to be) will not remember this as this is not a traumatic incident in his life. It is just a little fun being had by his mother.So you see the memory part of a brain is still not fully functioning to the point that this incident will scar him later in life. This is not trauma this is joking around for a laugh.

The Village Idiot??? 'Bout right for posting a silly thread like this
2nd line

I don't think the video is funny at all.

Little Christina is way out of line, and being very spiteful. You can see that she is clearly trying to get a reaction of Owen.

Children who act like this, should be kept away from other children until they can learn to behave and take other people's feelings into consideration. She is a real little bully for such a little girl, and it's sad.

But hey- everyone thinks it's okay... That tells me that the world has gone mad!

Did you just not read that part of your quote?
