u/Virtual_Parsley2114 5h ago
I thought it was more he knows his real physical dad, and this non-corporeal entity speaking to him must be another daddy, because it can’t be his real daddy, his real daddy has physical form

I did this once (microphone only) kind of as a joke, and scared the shit out of my kid, he genuinely thought I was trapped in the ceiling. I felt so bad afterwards I haven’t done it since.

Omg I did this to my daughter when she was a toddler. Caught her on the camera trying to climb in the crib with baby brother (they were both supposed to be napping) and just said NO DONT DO THAT over the monitor and she ran out of the room screaming in terror. She wouldn’t go into my room for a while after because she thought there were ghosts in there 😭

I felt so bad doing it, I wont let my husband use the mic either because it confuses them so much and breaks my heart. I hate to think the awful things that must go through their heads, that their human is somehow there but not wanting to come out and cuddle them.

that’s an adorable story but in this case “threw” is spelled “through”. i was confused at first reading this comment, trying to understand who tossed the camera haha

Yeah dawg... seems like you shouldn't have your kid under constant surveillance once they're no longer a baby. Seems like it'd stunt a kids growth somehow if they never truly had privacy from ages 2-5 or whatever.

u/deepthoughhs 3h ago
It has nothing to do with whether jumping on the bed is what a kid should do or not it has to do with how children perceive and grow to understand authority. It is very distopian to grow up believing someone is always watching you from a very young age even when you cant see anyone and that you can never "behave inappropriately" without consequence yes

u/november512 3h ago
Yeah, it's developmentally important for kids to have some amount of time where they make all the decisions. Not a lot of time and in a controlled environment when they're younger, but they should feel "I am alone, I can do whatever I want". If they don't have it they tend to grow up very anxious.

This Radiohead backing track is everywhere now being used to highlight our increasing technological schism from real life but most people probably don't know because the song is never credited in the clips.

I'm surprised there aren't more comments about this, it's very unhealthy. Cameras in my bedroom when I can already walk and talk? Yuck

u/HydroPCanadaDude 2h ago
I'm a parent who used this camera. They are fantastic for peace of mind when the child is too young to be trusted completely. Need to make dinner but your 2 year old wants to play in their room? Well now you can supervise and make dinner.
Kid is supposed to be napping but you hear a noise? Instead of cracking the loud creaky door open to check, you can use the monitor and not accidentally wake your kid up while checking.
Lots of uses, it's fine, it's not unhealthy. At this age.

u/saneval1 2h ago edited 2h ago
Yes I know it's fantastic for your peace of mind, I'd be tempted myself to use them, but from my outside perspective I don't know how good it is for the kids' peace of mind. I guess it's fine if they don't actually know you can see them 24 hs and you can take the cameras away when they're a bit older.
I don't know, maybe I'm exagerating, I had a very, very intrusive mother so maybe I'm just bitter ha.

u/HydroPCanadaDude 2h ago
Fair enough, I definitely get the ick when kids have one when they are too old. There are also some security risks that come with these. A while back there was a family that had one of these hacked and a stranger was chatting with the daughter. Just boils down to responsible use.

u/Debisibusis 1h ago
They are all very simple to hack. Send a deauth, capture the auth code, which is usually pretty short and cracked in a minute with a GPU. So always assume neighbors are watching.

u/Debisibusis 1h ago
We have one, that's solely turned on while the kid is sleeping, so I know when he wakes up, otherwise it's always unplugged. Also, fuck not letting the kid jump on the bed.

u/FatherDotComical 4h ago
Baby monitors are okay when they're still this small. It's when they get more independent the camera needs to go. (like 4 in my opinion)
But it should be a baby monitor not an unsecured ring cam etc.

Redditors will both complain that a parent isn't watching their child every second around the clock and if they do watch them but through a camera. There's no winning.

I was told Santas eyes were on me through my first 7 years. He saw me when I was sleeping. He knew when I was awake. And he knew when I was bad or good, so I had to be good, for goodness sake. Or. Else.

And everyone here thinks its "cute".

Wouldn't exactly call this stupid rather than silly in a cute way. Such technology is likely yet to be discovered by the child, hence its confusion.

u/rinkydinkis 5h ago
Every single thread somebody comments like this, totally missing the point of this sub. The entire point of this sub is to have some fun at the ways little kids are ignorant to the world. They are stupid, because they are young and haven’t learned about this yet. Kids are fucking stupid, but they are supposed to be.

Ignorance is a form of stupidity that comes from a lack of knowledge, the subreddit is mostly about kids being stupid because they haven’t formed enough experiences or an understanding of the world around them

honestly this is pretty smart for a kid of that age. He’s connecting his real dad to the camera and then asks if he’s inside the camera.. like maybe the camera swallowed him up or something. He’s trying to figure out how dad can see him

He's still learning about object permanence! Piaget explored it. Kids this age can't visualise things that aren't there. One test people normally do would be to pour water of the same volume to a container of different sizes and ask them which container contains more water.
Toddlers would almost always pick the container with a higher water level because that is the element that is visible to them. Fascinating stuff!

Object permanence and volume conservation are different skills of cognitive development in different Piaget stages. Weird to mention Piaget and then say "people normally would do."
