- These parents defended their unusual choices. In 2016, video of a 6-month-old learning how to swim sparked fierce reactions on social media. In 2015, a mother defended herself after she bought her three children over 300 Christmas gifts. In 2016, a mother got attention for skateboarding and doing tricks while wheeling her baby in the stroller at the same time. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.

I started teaching my daughter to swin in our pool at 6 months. She mastered turning onto her back in just 3 days. By her 1st birthday, she could swim the length of our long pool. To me it's a crime to own a pool and not teach your children to swim.
I agree with you.
My bro has a pool and all his little babies know how to swim. It's actually impressive how good babies can get at it
Absolutely it's a crime for people to be irresponsible pool owners. People freak out about this mom but if you don't like it then it's not for you & you don't have to put your kid through it.. but try to swallow the irony if your kid ever falls in a pool. 😕 I would never wish that on anyone..but that mom actually HAS been thru it & knows exactly what it's like so I for one would probably heed her advice.
If ur kid as that good at 1 she’ll be in the Olympics one day
Ma'am teaching your child how to swim at that age is best way for them to get comfortable swimming when they're older in my opinion.
You find it difficult to learn to swim at say 20.. but as a baby it's just natural instinct
Yea if ur about to die that tends to be what happens to a person. But I guess your new here to planet earth.
I don’t understand how people find swimming so hard.
@Louie it's a confidence thing.. we don't trust ourselves.. as a baby there is no fear natural instincts just take over
@Urmother2.0 not as new as the baby 🫡
@@emmettoliver I would have to disagree with that one.
I learned to swim this exact way…I survived and am better because of it. I allowed my child to color her hair multiple colors…she’s now one of the most self developed and productive adults I know. I don’t skateboard , I have zero pit bulls and I can’t ever see myself buying that many gifts for my kids but it’s not for me to judge. Folks need to mind their own households because the chances that they’re doing everything perfectly is slim to none.
Well said, agree 100%!
Weirdo
@catfish get out of jere
@catfish how am I gay?
@catfish lol only weirdo is u. Ur name says it all troll 😂
Well done to the mother of the first baby, she’s already lost one child in a tragic set of circumstances and she’s putting safeguards in place to ensure that her new baby will know how to survive should similar occur
“Well done” 🤡 how did the first one even drown ? Never trust these liberal women they hate kids with their guts
Very irresponsible woman. People like her should not reproduce
@@chaseme9860 Can you feel it? I can. The negativity just oozes out of your comment. Normal parenting is teaching, and preparing their children for as many circumstances as possible.
@@chaseme9860 mom might not always be there, so it’s good for kids to learn.
@@chaseme9860 it’s not just for when the child is a baby, learning things like this early on can still be useful later on in life.
I'm pretty sure babies just know how to swim/float. Weird how some of us will forget how to do that when older
Nah that's just a myth. I think many people think that because babies spend 9 months floating in the womb.
Well, they have an "instinct" but without proper guidance, they would panic and drown. That's why it's done in steps
To be fair, as people get older people become worse and worse...
How about learning swimming when becoming a child? and not being able to do that when older because they never learn it when there were children. Another social media user following comment section supporting a lady to get likes like them.
Everything floats down here
Brave Mom who lost one child to Drowning and started over! Most would not take the positive action she did!
who's most? you done the math? and most actually got a brain not risk a child like this. You just saw comment section supporting the mom and you just roll with it for likes.
Her poor son had to die for her "bravery" to shine!
@@justinmitchell2164 someone's a pessimist
@@justinmitchell2164 did you have a bad day?
@@justinmitchell2164 I get what your saying any parent who owns a pool should always have some kind of fence and lock in place with babies and toddlers to begin with to prevent any child from drowning or don't get a pool at all if you can't keep your children safe it shouldn't have taken one child to die for her to take proper steps to make sure her 2nd child won't drown in a pool
Regarding the first mom: people really do teach their children to swim that way and it WORKS! I didn't start swimming lessons until I was ~8 years old, and by then, I had already had an incident where I almost drowned & had developed a phobia of water. Props to her for starting early!!
EXACTLY, I'm the same!! My parents tried to get me lessons but I was older, I can't remember the exact age though but I wish it was earlier like this mom did. I have almost drowned quite a few times now and it has definitely traumatized me. If I can't stand up in the water I start to panic.
@@deadsetondreams1988same
What’s interesting is I went to swimming school when I was 4, and I COMPLETELY Forgot. That’s the consequence of having awful memory.
I can't speak for anyone else here, but my poor heart skipped a beat watching baby girl take a dive into the pool. She took to it like a duck to water. I have to admit, I am amazed at this.
Well done mom❤️
That's the point
the mom is a bad mom
@@DecemberMcSprinkles bruh babies have natural instinct to do that lol its normal
@@paullol7852 you’re a bad mom
@@DecemberMcSprinkles bruh doesn't know anything about babies
When I was younger (maybe a year old or younger) I fell into my aunts pool because someone forgot to close her sliding glass door outside. I survived because my aunt is a swim instructor for infants and I instinctively flipped on my back and floated on my back for about 5-10 minutes until my mom found me. That saved me, I’m 18 now.
Amazing!
Wow!
You remember that vividly? Don't believe it.
@@blueknight07 it’s called my mother told me about it because she’s the one who found me in the pool? And my aunt had cameras
@@AnniRyuu Rewrite your comment. It's unreadable without grammar
The mom got the daughters 85 each, and the sons get 30 each. Love how nobody is talking about that….
Yeah!
Exactly, she loves her girls more then her sons 🤦♀️🤦♂️😭
First thing I thought of 🙊👀.
i mean it would depend on how much they were. if the girls got lower price gifts versus the boys getting more expensive gifts or if the presents ending up being similar amounts, etc.
It depends on the prices, if the daughters got cheaper presents and the boys got more expensive…not that hard to figure out
Back in the seventies, my mom told me that it was standard for you to take your baby to the YMCA, and they instructed you to drop the baby in the water and let it figure out how to swim. That's how I learned to swim and I am now a great swimmer. She did the right thing teaching her baby how to swim at a very early age
Omg really?
Yep, back in the day we were called water babies. I became a very strong swimmer in my youth because of a program very similar to this.
@@madeinthegetto that's how I learned to ride a bike also. My dad took me out into a field pushed me a little bit and next thing you know I'm doing the dang thing. And back then they didn't give you helmets or knee pads or anything. It was ride or die
@@Wallflower28 water babies that sounds about right.
I just learned to swim at the age of like 4-6 like a normal human.
I used to be a lifeguard. When I looked at what looked like a 2 year old, I was worried I would have to jump in to save this little boy. He jumped in the pool and to my amazement, he swam like a fish. At that moment, I was in awe and I started to relax but I was still keeping an eye on him, at times, just in case.
All of these parents seem like loving parents who can raise their children how they like. None of these children were being harmed. It’s not anybody’s business.
i heard cps took their kid away on the 1 video and 2 video
@@Lone_Survivor_slugcat That's weird, I can't find anything about the kids being taken away
👏👏👏
I agree

2:25 That mother can multitask. She can skate & tack care of a baby
Incredible instincts that baby has. God bless them
It's not so much instincts as the instructor repeating the rollover technique over and over again with the baby.
probably a "her"
3:21 Honestly i wouldn’t criticize her for being materialistic, but for giving her daughters 85 gifts and her son only 30.
fr
I watched a documentary where this woman's story was covered in much more detail. Her daughters were pre-teen and teenager while her son was not two or three years old yet. I'm assuming that's where the difference comes in.
The mom said during the year she would buy her children the necessities like clothes, etc. but it was really only Christmas, that she bought the kids gifts (besides their birthday) and they weren't ones to go on long vacations. Although that many gifts still seems excessive, she still included a lot of things that they would need/use throughout the year under the tree. It was their family's time to spend money and enjoy the holiday instead of doing it all year long. 🙂
Good for her...after hearing about so many accidental
drownings of children I applaud
her decision for her child's safety to teach swimming lessons. It pains me to learn
of her son (Jake?) drowning.
I don't think I could go on
after a tragedy like that. She
is a remarkable mother and
woman.
A "remarkable" mother would ensure her child doesn't drown. Man, the bar is extremely low nowadays.
Floating, living baby is wonderful to see. Drowning is horrible, and means DEATH. What is wrong with such negative people?
People probably just post an angry sounding comment without much thought behind it, then carry on with their day. Sounds angry, but there’s not likely much anger present
@@0IIIIII or you can’t fathom being wrong about something for once in your life. I’m willing to bet that’s the one.
The first one is understandable. That mother felt guilty her son drowned and died so she is training her second child how to swim and prevent herself from drowning
She is teaching her daughter a skill that could save her life
That’s a little too optimistic of you in my opinion. This is the equivalent of watching ur child hanging off a cliff knowing you can help them but just being silent and recording them, like you just watched a baby be so scared of dying in that moment that she activates her instinctive survival skills, something a baby that old should never have to do.
At first I was shocked and yelled lol but you’re right. She’s right there and if anything should happen she would step in.
Could just learn the kids to swim instead of putting the fear of God in the child
@@charmaineinger344 I mean personally I wouldn’t do this to my child. Lol
@@charmaineinger344 This is how u teach kids to swim in a way that isn’t just a fun activity for them. Whenever a kid falls in the pool do you think their body is gonna be in the perfect position to swim naturally? No lol, this teaches them how to maneuver their body so that their face reaches the surface whenever they fall in the pool.
The first mother already lost one child. She was preparing her second child. She didn't run away from the situation she confronted it. I think sometimes we tend to over protect, and it doesn't help them to prepare for dangerous situations.
The dog one is a bad idea. Dogs will instinctively bite if they’re injured, sick or otherwise scared. Plenty of friendly dogs have bitten their owners under such conditions.
@sewwfffyhjijui 🧢
3:07 the girls get 85 presents each and the boy gets 30 how is that fair there is a big difference between 85 and 30
Maybe he was older and his gifts were much more expensive ?
3:16 i get this one ... she seems abit... off. The way she says the girls get 85 gifts then the sons get ABOUT 30. Something is wrong here.
I have a cure, it's CALLED LET OTHER PARENTS PARENT THEIR OWN CHILDREN AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT HURTING THEM AND YOU DO YOU! Plus the girl's hair is awesome.
I agree 💯 %👍
She look like a woke baby lol
the problem is that, everyone's idea of 'hurting them,' is different
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385 Hurting someone isn’t objective, people just don’t know how to mind their own business. Nothing these parents did is going to make their children violent, destructive, or a burden to society.
@@GraduateJLN how about a laughing stock, on the internet, where it'll live forever, with their names attached? do you not consider that to be hurting them?
I think it’s a good idea. It may seem outrageous but it could save a child’s life. You just have to let these moms do what they do to keep their children happy and safe.
I'll never be as cool as the mom with the skateboard
Pitbull named Destroyer be like : 2:45
I’m 32 and I sink like a rock. Good for them for showing them how to float so early.
Pearl clutchers have nothing better to do. Skater mom is a badass!
This is literally how they teach babies to swim. There's infant swim classes and this was PERFECT good job momma
The skateboarding mom is so cool lol
She is! I wonder what was wrong with skateboarding while pushing a stroller? I mean what could happen to the baby? I don't get it.
@@Sweetyhide there isn’t much of a threat but the stroller might flip over if the mom falls off the skateboard.
I understand this and it's a good thing. As a parent, no matter what, you should be there for your kid.
Ya, that's the mammalian dive reflex at work, and mom was within reach. My parents did the same thing with me at that age, maybe younger. I loved being in water growing up and never came close to drowning. Too bad when I got older I had a bad experience with unseen wildlife in a not so clean lake and developed thalassophobia. Now you can't even get me on a boat unless visibility is 100%. Did you know Bull Sharks have been spotted upriver in the Mississippi as far north as Illinois? I still love pools though!
Damn bro pulled out the statistics, now I’m gonna be scared of Illinois Sharks!
@@BeepBoopBopBap my work here is done!
With dogs and kids its always important to supervise no matter the breed from the tiniest breeds to the bigger ones i dont see the problem with those bigger dogs being around kids
That aqua hair actually looks really good on that little girl. If it were my kid, it would be something we did for a special occasion, not as a long term thing. But I certainly wouldn't say no.
People can give their opinions without being jerks about it. After all, if you post on social media, you can expect opinions. In my opinion, the only one I had a problem with was the Christmas presents. But that was her choice. I wish people understood that children want their parents' presence way more than presents from their parents. I think it's detrimental for kids to have too much but then again, that's my opinion. As long as the hair dye wasn't toxic ..🤷♀️
Or don’t give an opinion nobody asked for, people should mind their business when it comes to how other people raise their children.
@Screech Ya, it's social media. If you don't want an opinion, don't post something you that you know is going to be controversial 😒
People really got offended over a child coloring her hair? People need to grow up and leave people alone
I mean damn if she spends millions on gifts let her lol. Kids want to dye hair let them.
1:38 BRO HEAD FIRST?
I think the first clip is awesome! It's not like she's going to let her daughter drown, especially after having already lost her son due to drowning... She's teaching through experience. Amazing. Babies have really good natural instincts, such as avoiding drowning, and it's very good to train those instincts throughout childhood to avoid horrible deaths like what happened to her son.
I started swimming, and walking at nine months. There nothing wrong with it, or anything in the video, accept the millions of gifts
I’m impressed that she could get 300 gifts and only pay 2000 dollars
Same.
Knowing what she just said about her son drowning, I really understand why she does that, I mean I honestly had to do something like that also
I remember a baby who swam in a backyard pool once, it just gives you anxiety to know terrible things can happen to people at such a young age, Rest in peace.
There’s appropriate times for babies to learn things.
There’s also an appropriate time to tell other’s how to parent their kids and that time is NEVER, so SHUT UP and mind your business about other people’s kids.
That is the appropriate time. Baby swim is very good for development.
Would you rather have a baby drown
Luckily that is the appropriate time
Death threats? Really?
The baby swimming is great, she swims better than most adults. Her mother did the right thing teaching her at an early age to swim. If all parents did this, there would a lot less accidental drownings or none at all.
It felt like the baby was struggling tbh
All kids struggle when they swim.
What you think is not very important is it? Until someone writes you a check for your thoughts, know that, nobody cares. And it’s not valuable.
Yeah do you know what would happen if the baby was trained at all? The baby wouldn't be struggling because it would be dead already
@@davelarson6682 lol
I learned how to swim because my aunt paid for lessons after hearing about how a block away I heard a mother scream in despair about her toddler being found dead in their pool. I’ve never been able to get that scream out of my nightmares.
OMG HER HAIR LOOKS SO PRETTY
When my sister was about 3 mo old our then 19 yr old uncle let go of her in his sisters swimming pool. They said Stephanie instinctively swam- guess floating like the first baby as you seen.
I'm happy to report she's 35 alive & well she's making sure a horrible tragedy doesn't happen to her again. Good on her ♥️
There is nothing wrong with any of these videos. Great parenting!
You probably also thin that taking your baby to a tattoo artist to get a tattoo is okay too
People's quick tempered ignorance doesn't surprise me at all anymore. There's always been those quick to judge idiots in this world, social media has just made it easier to be found and heard or "typed" to be exact.
i remember that one time, when my little cousin was four, she almost drowned in a pool. starting early is amazing and it prevents so many terrible accidents that could happen.
300 gifts for $2,000 is a pretty good deal.
Not that I would buy that many but hey, it's her money..
Funny thing is that the baby in pool looks like she dove in unafraid after the 🪣 not fell in like was stated, and that was due to the great training she received and having a wonderful Mother. People just fly off with criticism without really knowing..and I'm glad these parents didjt take it to heart.
the young children throwing looks too much
Pitbulls used to be known as the nanny dog but sick people wanted to enjoy watching them fight so now they have a bad reputation.
It is so sad a child drowned. Children should not die so young. So I believe that it is important for babies to learn to swim
I don’t get why the mother skateboarding people had an issue. That’s just dumb
Now do a segment on parents who defend truly unusual and dangerous choices for their child. For example: taking a child to a Drag Queen Story Hour; taking a child to a gay/transgender bar or strip club; allowing a child to have a sex change prior to the age of 18; advocating gay porn to children in public schools; and teaching CRT.
The owners of pitbulls that have eaten babies always say that their dog was the nicest dog.
Wonderful idea about the swimming, as far as the pitbulls go the person's a total idiot, and the excessive amount of presents is just beyond ridiculous.
The first one was so smart. She wasn't even crying so why is everyone butt hurt
The parents can choose what decisions they can make for their children. If the mom wants to spend $2,000 on Christmas gifts, its her money not urs. Maybe her kids never had Christmas or didn't often get much. U never know
Absolutely heartwrenching but absolutely amazing mother. Sometimes one has to find ways to protect kids from harm
3:31 - Her hair is beautiful before and after. 😄
I think it's beautiful. Knew what she was doing the second the video started. Amazing to see the development of her parenting. Something horrible happened and she took it into her own hands to start her child on swimming lessons because she had already lost one. She is so smart and for her to be getting backlash is horrible.
Babies have a natural instinct of of swimming I know but it means to be in liquid anybody with half a brain cell will know that a baby spends their first nine months in water
I wished my parents taught me how to swim. There were many times where I almost drowned.
So a mom teaches her baby how to swim and people got mad? People would rather see a child drown rather than see a child learn how to swim…
Teaching swimming as an instinct at that age in the pool will help reduce alot of the "the child drowned because of parent's neglect/lack of supervision" incidents.
And, there is obviously someone sitting there watching the baby float.
WAIT A DAM MINUTE 300 GIFT FOR $2,000? CLEARLY THIS MOM IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT BECAUSE HOW TF? IMMA NEED HER TO SHARE HER SHOPPING SECRETS! LOL
Right! I expected those gifts to cost at least 10 thousand..
They’re not your children. Let the parents do what they want.
85 gifts to 30. If it isn’t a thing where the boys got more expensive gifts, then damn thats some strong favoritism to the girls
Or the boy is just younger or smth
She said “the girls got about 85 each” which implies there is more than one
And all these reinforces my beliefs of why you shouldn't post family moments on line.
The only parent I don’t agree with is the one who bought her kids loads of gifts!
Who asked you tho? No one. Her household, her money, HER KIDS and it’s HER LIFE, stop worrying about what other people do for their kids unless it’s hurting them, other than that don’t give a useless meaningless opinion nobody asked for! Shut up and worry about how YOU wanna raise YOUR OWN CHILDREN and keep your nose outta other parent’s business!
Same. Silly waste.

My first swimming lesson was that dad chucked me in the pool so I could figure it out on my own, mom wasn't too happy about the way but accepted it as it was.
Babies' anatomy causes them to automatically close off their airway when water comes close. It's a core part of the drowning -prevention method. It has been done for countless generations and may have saved so many already if it were more widely known and practiced.
Imagine hating on people who don't want their children to drown. 🙄🤦♂️

I had a pitbull for 17 years and he was the biggest baby when it came to other people and children if you were to ever even put your head up at a child the dog would come after you
Parents need to do this when I was I baby I was thought to do this and when I was around 8 years old I was able to save my own life because I was pulled under the water by the current and I survived and if I didn’t do this when I was young I wouldn’t be hear today.
Baby: knows how to survive in the water

When my son was born, I had a house with a pool so made sure he went to swimming lessons early on so he wasn't afraid of the water.
For the mom who had her baby swim in a pool I get it, but at the same time, my mom tried this with me and I WAS LITERALLY DROWNING. My mom thought “instinct would just kick in”, but they had to call an ambulance. It’s important to teach kids to swim, but maybe do it when they’re, I don’t know, AT LEAST 1 YEAR OLD.
So important to teach your child to swim as young as possible. ❤
Yes. It saved me as a youngster. It surprised me as a kid when my classmates didn’t know how to swim starting in kindergarten. I’d been in and out of the pool since I was less than a year old.
But then again, both my parents were swimmers most of their lives.
Normally I’d be concerned about leaving such an unpredictable being around a fragile baby, but considering the fact he’s a breeder I’d assume he knows his dogs
Great, just what we need. More pit bulls to crowd up the shelters.🎉
@@boohop9566 sadly
so much "Karens" being upset about a good thing
her mom was supervising. but this is to prepare her child INCASE an accident happens, and mom or dad isn't there
she already lost her son, and that's 1 too many. this is training that every parent SHOULD teach their children, even if you don't have a pool at home (like what if this happens in a resort or beach)
IMO, learning this should be more of a priority than learning "mama dada nana"
When you teach your 6 mo old children water safety, it's to turn over on their back and float. It's what I taught my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It's a class through the YMCA and is great. You must teach your children to survive since they can be out of your sight 10 seconds and fall into the pool. It's a wonderful program. I've seen too many children who have drowned as a healthcare professional and vowed not to have my family be a statistic. My daughter started on a USAA swim team at 5 yrs old until she was 17 yrs. She loved it and it helped her severe asthma.
People, mind your own business.
