It is very normal to record yourself while vacuuming. Never know might catch the end of the world on camera. /s

Some people record themselves vacuuming so they can watch it later and use it to improve their form. Also if you happen to have a personal housework trainer, they can give you pointers

True story. My vacuum game was complete garbage until I started recording it. Now, Iā€™m in the top 50% on my block.

u/Poor-Judgements 19h ago edited 19h ago

But now you need to start thinking about what you need to do to be in the top 5%. Don't let one tiny success hold you back from achieving what's truly important. You need to dominate. Paralyze their motivation and start to morally and mentally dismantle them.

I'm taking lessons and my coach told me I don't rotate my hips enough. If I fix my form, maybe add some strength so I can push and pull harder, I think I have a shot at making the team this year.

u/tanafras 18h ago

I earned my vacuuming badge while I was 14, in a bowling alley, using an industrial vacuum.

Most people don't start in Pro series vacuuming like I did or even at such an early age, so it's nice to see folks learning when they aren't in their prime.

Keep recording vacuum lady. You're doing great.

See you on the carpet sometime.

u/charlie2135 18h ago

Actually brought back memories of helping my parents clean their business when I was that age. Using an industrial buffer you learned to control it by lightly lifting or lowering the handle.

Always funny when an older, larger person would get thrown around thinking it was easy.

2

u/tanafras 18h ago

Ah yes the old upsie downsie. Watching folks much bigger than me get jerked off side to side was fun for sure. At the alley moving the beer kegs was really the only hard thing to do. Cleaning the ball return machine was somewhat dangerous. Clearning pinsetting errors could at time be definitely dangerous. Especially when the pinsetting mechanism hooked. The oil machine was a delight.

Oh, and all you "the lane is dry" "too much oil" people out there... Ya wrong. The lanes are stripped and reoiled nightly. Ya just suck.

2

u/charlie2135 18h ago

Funny as my buddies that worked at the bowling alley were usually soused. Now I know why.

u/tanafras 14h ago

Our alley order was coke 1st, pot 2nd, beer 3rd, mixers 4th. So much coke in the late 80s early 90s.

Iā€™m up in Maine but this might be a great business idea. I could never get into the influencing schtick, Iā€™ve tried to film ā€œcontentā€ and take before and after pictures but itā€™s always felt like a waste of time especially because Iā€™m not doing it with the goal of being a social media content creator. Iā€™d love to teach people how to clean though. When I worked for another company I would train new employees by having them just hang out with me for the first couple hours while I show and tell them what to do and how to do it (and why).

u/Limp-Housing-2100 20h ago

I literally have a camera aimed at the bottom of my stairs and some points of the house too, no idea why people are so surprised!

OP's video shows a camera pointed at their supposedly front door (it has a lock), I don't know why this is odd at all.

35

u/-Johnny- 20h ago

because this is staged and babies don't typically do this type of thing. Her reaction tells it all if you've ever had a kid. They spend weeks standing like this, and for her to be so surprised by her kid standing is telling.

22

u/mikeyfender813 19h ago

This is such a good point. My first thought was that even my daughter took her first steps, it was like two steps and then she fell down. The kid in this video takes a lot of steps for it being their first time. I was immediately skeptical.

Also, it was proceeded by many weeks of standing and supporting herself with furniture. No surprise to just stand up.

21

u/Limp-Housing-2100 20h ago

Mind you, I have 2 children (a two year old and a seven year old), our son when he first started walking did the exact behavior in the video. He stood up and propelled himself forward taking 4-5 steps and then falling over, and we have that on video because he was trying to stand up but we had no idea he'd be taking his first steps too.

I'm not saying what I see is not possible, it's not outside the realm of possibilities.

6

u/Dino_Spaceman 19h ago

Yup this. You know about when they are going to take their first steps. So our youngest we started to record our play sessions. Itā€™s really not that out of the ordinary.

u/thehammerismypen1s 20h ago

My boss has a baby that just started crawling. They were worried about him falling. Their doctor said that itā€™s okay to let the baby fall from however high he could get himself off the ground without climbing.

So if the baby can stand up on its own like this, then itā€™s okay to let him fall on his own.

My nephew has had bruises and scrapes dead center of his forehead from falling and running into stuff all the time. It made me laugh after a while. Heā€™s just a clumsy little toddler.

u/Girl77879 20h ago

I mean, mine pulled up and scooted along things like the couch for several months before finally letting go and actually walking. Pulling up and using couch to move didn't count as first steps (I asked). So, if baby has been doing something similar, it's not outside the realm of possibility that he could get up without toppling when he finally decides to go for it.

Tbf, I have cameras pointed at all my house door entry points (3 total) that records 24/7. My wife loves to look through the footage to rewatch something funny or cute that happened with our son if the cameras captured it. The one for the front door is nested on top of a shoe dresser we have by the front door and has a similar angle to the one in this video. Itā€™s not outrageously impossible. People are just so used to saying something is conveniently recorded. Well yeah. Surveillance home security systems exist. All of my family has them set up in their homes.

..yeah, rather odd that she happened to have a camera set up just there, just then, just when the kid was there and just happened to do that. :p

Itā€™s pointed at what appears to be their front door. I see this in a ton of houses. Itā€™s a secondary camera measure if someone breaks in.

Pretty sure there's a guy randomly Playing a piano in the background too

u/rowenstraker 18h ago

I mean, if my kid were about to walk I would be setting up cameras to try to catch it too...Ā

I think many have their babies first steps on camera. What counts as first steps is really unclear,.. Like it's steps plural so one doesn't count. But what about one and the.n a little stumble.. Does the stumble count? What about when they kinda do two steps but they've not really moved from their staring point. So I think one day when you have camera and they do pretty well you just declare this is their first steps and ignore all those previous attempts that were debatable. Not like anyone is goinf to argue your claim.

I love Reddit. Truly the great equalizer in calling out phoniness.

u/Pillar1548 17h ago

I usually doubt everything I see, but thereā€™s a chance it could be just a surveillance camera for their front door. Though it does look odd still

1

u/VeryHandyHandicapped 17h ago

Camera is pointed at main door, so it actually looks legit.

1

u/Feeling_Blueberry530 17h ago

I'm not convinced, but the way the baby walks almost sideways looks like they've been walking holding onto a table or wall for sometime. Also, it's likely the baby has been walking at daycare and this is the first time mom has seen it.

u/Ergaar 17h ago

The way that kid stands up like that is way too smooth. First Steps are basically always from pulling themselves up on something and walking away. Standing up like this is a couple of weeks after the first Steps

u/Rickerus 17h ago

Plus its not really that amazing. I've been able to walk since I was about that same size, and I am definitely not amazing

u/r3d_rage 17h ago

you don't randomly record yourself vacuuming ? Jeez.

1

u/sionnach 17h ago

In 100% truth, I have both my daughters first steps filmed. I could sort of see it coming for a while, so actively recorded opportunities I thought they might try ā€¦ and they will only try if you put distance between them and you. Itā€™s not quite as far fetched as it appears.

u/Yawn-Of-The-Dead 16h ago

It doesn't look randomly placed

1

u/4N0NYM0US_GUY 16h ago

Randomly facing the front door centered in the frame?

1

u/galaxyapp 16h ago

Every parent knows their child's first steps are a straight pop up in the middle of the room and walking 3ft

1

u/fvkehvppy 16h ago

I assumed she was filming one of those "being a stay at home mom isnt an easy job" tiktoks where you show all the work that goes into keeping up a house and her baby just happened to become the star instead of herself haha

1

u/LuckyNipples 16h ago

And the baby is such a great actor ! He really sells the hesitation when you make your first steps... /s

Damn stop being so negative ffs

1

u/getturdun 16h ago

I mean it is also on the front door so it's possibly a security camera. I have something similar

1

u/Troutie88 16h ago

I read it as an advertisement for a YouTuber.

Maybe someone who does general housekeeping videos or something.

1

u/Jive_Sloth 16h ago

Do people not remember home videos? Sometimes, some people record stuff just to record stuff. The same reason some people take pictures of themselves just chilling in their room with a friend. It's about saving a moment. Pictures and videos capture our lives, and our lives are a lot more than just exciting vacations like concerts and cruises.

u/kibblerz 16h ago

Could've been a baby monitor

1

u/korbentherhino 16h ago

Sometimes people want to recreate a moment and get lots of likes in the process. I mean it worked. Look at all us viewing and commenting. Cha ching. She's a genius.

1

u/WoolooCthulhu 15h ago

It's pretty normal to just point the camera at your baby for extended periods of time to see if they do anything cute. She probably just wanted a video of them wearing their matching pants.

1

u/Objective_Flow2150 15h ago

Well likely she knew the baby already trying to walk and wanted to record the baby 24/7 and edit out the useless crap later

1

u/dashrendar2112 15h ago

Plot twist: Baby staged this. Been walking for weeks without anyone knowing.

1

u/Sandrasunshine0255 14h ago

What a coincidence! Someone on the scene to tape the whole thing at random. Hmm.

1

u/ItsTricky94 14h ago

I always video myself vacuuming, don't you?

1

u/vladtheinhaler0 14h ago

Yeah, a bit conspicuous, but maybe she knew the kid was close to the time to take the steps and wasn't taking chances on missing it. You don't see the thousand hours of footage of the kid just chilling.

1

u/Keyspam102 13h ago

haha yeah and the fact that this baby apparently hit like 3 milestones all at once, that are usually separated by weeks or even months

1

u/Junglebook82 13h ago

In matching jammies none the less

1

u/Jamesl1988 13h ago

What, you don't film yourself using the vacuum?

1

u/Ta-veren- 13h ago

Maybe she knew the baby was close to walking and didnt want husband/partner to miss out.

I get your point but I mean that looks like a baby first steps. But yeah weird she was recording vacuuming

1

u/idontknowjuspickone 13h ago

Yeah and someone happened to be playing dramatic piano music at the same time, not likelyā€¦

1

u/gymtrovert1988 12h ago

There's a chance she was recording it for an Amazon review. It looks new.

1

u/Vurtikul 12h ago

Everyone is so cynical nowadays. I have multiple cameras in my house, and one looks just like this one. It just faces the front door and has half of my living room in it, too. It's really not that crazy.

1

u/34TH_ST_BROADWAY 11h ago

The first one I saw might have been real... since then though. Everybody wants to get in on the action. Kid didn't even need to use anything to help him stand up for a second, just squatted right up.

1

u/DoctaMan 11h ago

Randomly placed, pointing directly at their front door?
