My son did. He was 9 months old, pretty much identical to what the baby in the video did. I’m glad I caught it on video and that my husband was home to see it. My son was giggling, he was so proud of himself, it was the cutest thing.

Reddit has no idea how babies work. Some skip crawling completely and walk straight across the house the first time they decide they want to. Others pull themselves up by a chair and fall on their ass 20 times before they even figure out how to pick up their foot

Reading all the comments from people who clearly don’t have kids of their own and don’t know how this process really works is hilarious. And they’re so confident too.

I used to like /KidsAreFuckingStupid but it's really turned into "reddit comments are fucking stupid" lately. They either want kids to have the reasoning skills of a fully grown adult or they think a toddler is a potato until they're 10.

I miss the way that sub used to be, it was more of a celebration of the inherent stupidity of kids figuring out how the world works. Now it's full of bitter childfree people and "parenting experts" who have never actually interacted with a kid in their entire life
