Being lazy as a parent is obviously a problem, but I feel like the main problem here, the diet, is not entirely related. While it’s easy to just cut up donuts for breakfast, I feel like it’s equally easy to cut up a banana or buy pre made, bagged porridge. Maybe it’s ignorance or an unwillingness to learn about the dietary needs of a 1 year old, which can be caused by laziness I guess. But taking short cuts in making the food does no harm to the child, unless it attributes to unhealthy food. A slizer does not make the food unhealthy, putting *sugar* in water does. Which is my biggest problem, because if your child is not able to drink water, it is because of your parenting, not because of the child.
Yeah I totally agree. I’m chronically ill (and I don’t plan to have any children until i’m more functional than rn), but things like the vegetable chopper actually enable me to save a bit of energy that I can then use toward something else I need to get done. it seems lazy or at least unnecessary if you don’t have to budget your energy, but silly kitchen gadgets like that have made cooking so much more manageable for me But yeah, feeding toddlers powdered donuts and sugary drinks is disgusting. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but people with serious diet-related health problems like this lady should be required to complete some kind of nutrition courses when they have children. This is child abuse and they’re willfully passing a disease onto their kids.
THIS! Cutting up a banana is just as easy as cutting up a donut. Do what's best for your kids so they don't grow up with 100 deficiencies, but also do what's best for yourself. I suffer from a form of chronic joint pain, I can't cut things that aren't soft. Using a slicer doesn't make the food unhealthy 😅
Most water flavor packets are sugar free. Idk about the particular brand that she used in the video, but the amount of people screaming about her "putting sugar in the water" is wild to me. Lol. It likely had none at all.
Exactly! They were focusing on how wrong it is to use tools and I'm just like ??? They're just feeding the child sugar, can we talk about that? There is nothing wrong with using utensils and I was pretty shocked by this video, but of course I'm here to open my mind.
its ok to be lazy, but not so much when you have kids. they require a lot, if not ALL of your attention. i understand wanting to be lazy and not do certain things to the full extent sometimes, but not all the time, not with kids :/
I think it’s okay to occasionally be lazy and do some sweet treats but all the time, no. It creates unhealthy relationships with food and create picky eaters. Not saying all picky eaters are because they get fed crap but in this case, yes.
My family had a "friend" whos like this with their child. The kid is now 6, severely overweight, still uses a diaper and cant adequately speak because they never took away his binky and it messed up his mouth. It disgusts me, we've tried to help. I refuse to be in contact with them anymore
Im so sad for that kid, my mom would eventually cook for me but she never made me try new food like vegetables, fruits, so I never rlly liked those since I was never used to eating them At some point she literally gave up, I’d only eat junk food and even now, YEARS LATER I’m still struggling to eat healthy Please don’t make kids if you know you’ll be too lazy to cook for them, make them try healthy food As a parent it’s your job, do better
i feel you! my parents were always working or in their rooms majority of my childhood & most of the time my oldest sister fed me and my other sisters and her being a literal child she only knew how to make a few things. my parents have both been overweight my entire life and until the last year or two they only really bought junk food. i’m 25 now & i eat horribly. i also have struggled w disordered eating since i was 11 (either fasting or binge/purge cycles). i have two kids of my own now & im not super strict about healthy food like i still will let them have some junk food but in moderation and usually as treats. it’s about balance! i will say though my kids eat better than i do 😅
The crazy thing is, most vegetables you don’t even have to cook. You can literally wash them and eat them. I can’t understand the parents that don’t make their kids eat vegetables and fruit. It’s literally the laziest food out there lol
5 months later but my son just shared this channel with me. As a mom, my heart breaks for you. I'm so sorry you had to experience less than stellar parents. But you're an awesome person for trying to widen your horizons and at least start adding healthy foods to your diet. You can do it! Little by little and everything in moderation with the junk food is ok. ✌️
@@ashegrey3042you're a wonderful parent for making sure your kids have it better than you did. That's the whole point of parenting, seeing those little faces and changing yourself, bettering yourself so they don't have to deal with the crap we had to deal with. And you're so right, evening in moderation. It's ok to do a bit of junk food or ice cream or whatever, just not sugar water and sugar donuts everyday like the mom in the vid. Keep on keeping in you awesome parent! ✌️
The cutting tool she uses that slices things quickly isn't necessarily lazy. It's an invention that helps people who have trouble using their hands; such as older people and/or people with arthritis. Inventions making your life easier does not equal to laziness. If there is a way to make life easier, why not do it? Though, in this mother's case, it's probably laziness
right??? my arthritis is flaring rn and wouldnt be able to chop a lot of things today... so im going to buy pre chopped veg to make my life easier. I suppose a lot of people who don't struggle with these things just dont think about that perspective???
As someone who has never been good around sharp objects, it’s great for me. No one wants my skin and blood with their potatoes.😭 I’ve always been incredibly clumsy and no matter hard and often i try i will never be able to cut things as small as i need them to without cutting myself in the process. Idk why, but it is what it is. Also, it’s just faster. No one i know has the time and energy to sit done and actually cut a bunch of stuff as small as this box-cut-thingy gets it.
yeah I was coming to say things like this a part of me feels so frustrated when people say assistive technology is lazy even if they don't mean it that way it feels so insulting
I disagree with the cutting box, it's useful, I need the time and energy it would hve taken me to cut them without. If the object makes life easier it will be helpful, and I've seen people say a veggie chopper helps them eat salads more because it reduces the effort of making it
Its not about having the cutting box, it's about the idea that she probably hasn't ever tried to cut a vegetable or put in the effort to, because of the fact that she constantly mentions how she's a lazy mom. The cutting box is an amazing tool, I agree, but when he was talking about it, he wasn't critiquing the cutting box itself, but the person behind it.
The cutting tool is actually pretty useful for people who may have issues with their hands or to make the cooking process quicker but in her case it is probably laziness
The part about the water I completely agree with, absolutely! I’d just like to point out that some people have issues with just water, I am autistic and I can’t STAND the taste of water and need to have something in it to make it “editable” (not saying you said anything wrong! Just pointing out another perspective)
THANK YOU I’M ALSO AUTISTIC AND I SEE SO LITTLE ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CAN’T STAND WATER TASTE all I ever see are the people who say you’re an idiot if you can’t stand water
I am autistic and I had issued with water when I was younger, have you tried filtered water? maybe your tap water has too harsh taste due to chemicals or old pipes, or you're drinking on the wrong temperature. humans need water there is no greater joy than to quench your thirst
My parents were just like this, and it got bad. Like, fast food or dessert-like stuff for majority of meals. What you said about the diet affecting the mental state is so true. It got to the point where I devolved from having breakdowns over the fact we ate the same junk all the time, to refusing to eat that food, and then into eating nothing until dinner in hopes they'd have made some sort of attempt and then binge eat. Making your kids eat donuts for breakfast each morning isn't being a "cool" parent, its being neglectful and will harm both their physical and mental state, if not now then later down the line. I hope the criticism people are giving them will stick and they'll try better, but I fear they won't.
I will say, the statement "you chose to have a child in today's economy" is not always the situation. Sometimes people are forced into situations, sometimes people have children when they're in better financial situations but that ends up changing, ect. This woman however, could be choosing different foods, or at the very least adding fruits, veggies, something else that's healthy for all the meals. (Edit: Grammar mistakes.)
@@DistinguishedSeal You can't post links in TH-cam comments anymore. Also, if you live in America, the abortion ban was huge news here, just look it up and there will be articles about it.
Luis saying that "A healthy diet is the thing you need to do to be better!" is such a blanket statement. Yes, you need a healthy diet, but only eating food that we lable as "healthy" forcing yourself into this isn't helping you, that's a breeding ground to starting to not eat most days because you dread eating the healthy things. I have ARFID which is an eating disorder and it's hell. I personally tell people: "Look if you can't bring yourself into eating healthy, because of any reason, search for the healthy things that don't make you want to stop eating." I eat veggies every single day. Those veggies consist of: carrots, cucumbers, salads and potatoes and occasionally watermelon (when it's in season). I hate any other vegetable and that's okay because I don't put myself in a constant feeling of guilt for not being able to stomach things. I have told my friend: "I can't eat peppers." And she still fed them to me. I threw up everything in me. If you struggle with eating any type of food, like fruits, but you're able to find ONE you like? Eat that one. It doesn't matter if you start trying to stomach more things and fail, if you still have that one fruit you can go back to. What I want to say with this comment is: If you can find one thing that works and can start to mix it in with the food that isn't as nutritious at least once a day, you will stop craving junk food as much. I like carrots because they give me that crunch I used to search for in chips. Now I eat chips mostly at gatherings not at home. Please eat as healthy as your own body and brains lets you. If you throw up every time you smell dill? Get rid of it from your diet, because throwing up is far more worse to your body then not eating dill.
you dont lose the "ability to chop vegetables" because you use an aid... most of us use these items because we have mobility issues with our hands/arms. Shockingly, we still know how to use knives but choose not to because its easier for us. Also, giving a 1 year old a squeeze pouch instead of a bowl still helps them develop their dexterity, you progress to the bowl and spoon later, this isnt wrong at all.
your part about the diet being super important for your mental health was so true. im on sick leave from my studies because im depressed and had to spend time in a hospital. there they gave me healty food 4 times a day and i felt so much better after about a week. now that im back home i recognise that on the days where i cook i feel SO MUCH BETTER about myself. when i go days without eating a full meal i just feel miserable and so disapointed in myself. so both eating good and doing something by yourself is such a boost to the mental well being. love your vids!
8:03 true. as someone stick thin going thru a relapse in lack of eating … no matter what you live like you need all the food groups. personally cannot get out of bed if i have any less (for the most part)
Actually the water does turn into syrup when put with sugar but during digestion of said syrup you do get the water content when digested like so it absorbs it but it doesn't completely obliterate the water it's still there it's just water with sugar it just turns to a syrup consistency
@@Louis_McClung if you did 5 minutes of research like I did it still has water in it when you digest it I looked it up it will still hydrate you regardless if there's water properties in it when you digest it just because if there's sugar in it doesn't make it nonhydratable it just makes it less hydratable
@@Louis_McClung for example if you bite into an apple and you feel the juicy liquid that comes out that is water and a lot of other stuff that's in an apple when you digest that juicy Apple you still get the water molecules that's inside Apple when digested.
right, because whenever my nephew is over and I make lunch it means I have to eat healthy to set a good example I think one of the main reason people were mad tho was because there was a skinny girl feeding her kids the same things but she was praised well this lady was attacked like at least let them both be reprimanded. there doing the same thing but she 'looks fit' so it's fine for her to do it????
My mom was like the opposite of this growing up she always encouraged us to eat healthy foods and to learn to cook which is why to this day I'm always open to trying new foods and cooking new things the that mom is encouraging pickiness while even with my upbringing you can still be picky i mean I do have my comfort foods and my little sister is very picky but if you give a child such a limited diet at that age they won't want to try new things when they get older
I grew up with a mom who made sure that I got fed healthy and nutritious food and was allowed to eat junk food every once in a while And I still ended up with a messed up relationship with food I pray for those kids cause our generation already have enough Ed’s and issues with food at least do your part as a parent to prevent that
this video wasn’t directed towards me but what you said really spoke to me. my parents are exactly like everything you described and it has rubbed off on me over time. when you’re surrounded by people that don’t feel like getting up and doing something to change their life for the better it makes you feel like it’s okay to do it too. you’re completely correct the only way to change being lazy is to force yourself to get up and do things even if you don’t feel like doing them it’s the only way to break the cycle. the hardest part is convincing others of that though like you said “wanting to better your life but too lazy to get up and do it” is exactly how my parents can be and myself just complain and complain about the situation and saying “i wish things were different” but never getting up to change it. over time i gave up trying to change things and accepted but i don’t want that to be my life. your words opened my eyes
when i was a child my mom would give me half a cup of water every morning and sometimes i cried and swore i would never drink water when i grew up. now water is my favorite beverage, thank you mom
I have conflicted emotions about this video. On the one hand I think most of your criticism is more about the trends on tiktok she's embodying than her content itself. If she uses a vegetable fruit cutter box once it isn't indicative of her mental state and neither is using donuts for breakfast. It's better that a kid is getting liquids at all than expecting them to drink plain water right out the gate. But the trend itself of easy-access food and life-hack consumerism tiktok is worthy of criticism and I feel like you could have pointed this out and used her videos as a segue to that broader topic. (especially the water tok bit, I think there was an interesting topic there you could have elaborated on away from this person's account). HOWEVER. There is a valid criticism in her branding of being a "cool" "lazy" mom. I went to go watch her videos for myself and found that she started nearly every video in that same purposeful fashion, carelessly and almost exasperatedly slamming her kids plate down on the table. Why does she do that so often? What is she trying to convey to the audience, that she dislikes doing this? That this is a frustrating task? She's willingly making these videos for tiktok and frames them this way herself. Yes parenting is hard but I find the online trend of "god parenting is the worst I hate having to put in effort for my kids" quite depressing, especially since a lot of those jokes and opinions I heard when I was a child still follow me around today. It's fair to be off put by her attitude in her videos. There's the argument that might say "there's no reason to criticize or nit-pick mothers, she's just trying to get by!" which is fair to an extent, if this was your next door neighbor you were gossiping about we'd all think you were an asshole. But this mother is posting these videos of herself for content to gather an audience, so in a way she has already opened herself up for criticism. The internet is not an extension of your private life, it is inherently public and I believe people forget this. BUT THEN AGAIN! THE FINAL PROBLEM! There is of course the issue of her being fat, and the threat of fat-phobia coloring how someone perceives her videos. Do people dislike her meals and feel her lazy because she's fat? Do they attribute her failing as a mother to her fatness, which fat-phobia unconsciously associates with a moral failing? Would we be this judgemental if she was a skinny mom? Plus, some of her video imply her financial situation isn't the tightest and it's hard to judge what she buys for her kids if we don't know how consistent her budget is. Idk I just feel like this is a very nuanced situation and I was frustrated that the comment section was all either negative "you're being so mean" or positive "yeah junk food sucks". sorry for the essay in your comment section man.
I just want to say something, as someone who is autistic, and therefore has a different view on foods. I have such a hard time eating a lot of foods that are comcidered "healthy." I know that I need to eat healthy, but trying to force myself to eat those foods can me feel ill. A lot of the time, I just have to eat those unhealthy foods, or my comfort foods. I've definitely been doing better, I eat a lot of fruit, and I combine proteins and other things with the unhealthy things, so its digestable for me. Anyway, just a different point of view
Honestly i feel similar. Sometimes when i have something like a mixed salat i pick out the food i like and leave the rest. Or i choose to only eat my comfort foods, which are incredibly unhealthy. All other foods are either too much change for me (i hate change), or they have a weird texture or something
I see moms on tiktok buying donuts from establishments and because its aesthetic the comments are like "oh SLAY those looks great" but when this mom gives her kids powdered donuts that bad? I know and understand the diet is poor but the kid(s) could have issues with texture and need a specific meal or can eat only a few things without hating it and gagging. When I was little I couldn't eat cauliflower because of the texture and- that wasn't my parents fault. I don't think what this woman is doing is truly harming her kids. Edit: go back far into her page, its engagement bait! She gives or at least used to give her kids HEALTHY food. Those videos did worse then the ones that have hate surrounding them. My thought is maybe she makes a meal for breakfast that is mediocore and films that but for the rest of the day its healthy and decent meals.
12:38 it’s hard bc depression and health problems make me not be so hard on myself for not being more active, but then there still has to be this push out of the much, some motivation. i’m still finding it. health weighs me down but i’ll get there. (i don’t really use the word “lazy” so i used “be more active”)
Probably the only Louis video I disagree with. You can't expect a 1 year old to be into healthy foods, or that this woman has the ability to access healthier options. 3 powdered donuts is not crazy at all for a little kid 😭
1:51 this felt like knives were stabbing me, powdered donuts?!? Just DONUTS IN GENERAL FOR A 1-year old?!? My little brother is 4 and has only had stuff that sugary once or twice. And you wanna know what he prefers over a lollipop? Yogurt. Please there are healthier foods to feed your kids!!! Do you wanna pay even more money for cavities?!?!?
My mom was a MSM (married single mom) of an autistic kid with EDS (me) and a kid with adhd and blood sugar rage issues (my sister). Mom has ADD. Food was hard. Cleaning was impossible. Both of these got worse after the divorce. But despite all the eating out, the not-water drinks, the unclean house and nearly unusable kitchen, we did what we could to have balance in our meals. To be active, despite our exhaustion. And dad was no help. If anything, he made the food relationships worse and the cleaning adversion worse. Mom tried. She tried to give us the tools we can use in our future despite our present. Dad just shamed and shamed and shamed. Especially about kitchen gadgets like the cutter box. I knew and still know how to use a knife but the box made it so i wouldnt be exhausted from prep alone and i could cook more food, more frequently to save for later. He called me lazy. As if he wasnt using his microwave bacon cooker every morning instead of a pan. I eventually stopped and only ate frozen dumplings and rice from costco bc he would also complain about how much it cost to feed us kids and those would last me months. Am i still struggling bc of how i was raised? Absolutely. Am i adapting and overcoming? As best as my crumbling body will allow me. If i had carried to term and had a 5yo rn, would i be like this mom? HELL NO. I'd give everything i have to be even an 1/8 the parent my mom was to me. Id do all i can to keep everything reasonably clean as i could manage, everyones bellies full, and as healthy as fiscally possible. Being a parent is the hardest job in the world but its not hard to gice your baby bowl of sauce and a spoon. Its not hard to give them plain water (even water with some juice in it). Its okay to do frozen (frozen veggies arent better than fresh but theyre better than nothing), its okay to use tools (humanity is defined by tools), its okay to do things the easy way (if youre disabled, its the best and often only way. You arent "lazy" youre leveling the playing field). So long as meals are balanced (within budget) and the kids are full (regardless if they ate everything or not), thats what matters. Dont force your kids to eat shit they hate (or physically cannot due to an adversion as seen in neurodivergent people) but dont just feed them junk. Junk is a treat, not a meal.
Not everybody 'chooses' to have their kids. I agree with this video, she should do better, all parents should make an effort for their child, but that having kids is a choice is sadly often not true. So many more factors play into that.
I’m thirteen and my mom is (unfortunately) like this. I genuinely feel bad for my siblings since they’re getting a crappy childhood. I spent a lot more time with my grandparents when I was little because my mom worked more often then and it’s the only reason I got taught manners. My siblings are 9, 7, and 5 and they spent more time with mom and they behave TERRIBLY. I don’t eat vegetables very well, partly because I’m autistic, but my siblings REFUSE to eat them (as in they throw full on tantrums over broccoli) and that’s because my mom never makes them eat veggies. I really love my mom and she’s the only real parent I have since my dad doesn’t put in any effort whatsoever (my parents aren’t together btw) but I feel so terrible that this is the way my mom is choosing to raise her kids :( (sorry for the trauma dump, i just thought it’d be nice to provide a point of view coming from someone who has a mom like this)
this video feels werid, like powdered sugar donuts for a 1 yr old is kinda weird, but criticizing her for giving a child single serve apple sauce in the pouch instead of pouring it out?? for using a food dicer?? making jucie for some kids?? shes not going to forget how to dice a potato by using an aid to make it easier for her. this all calling her lazy just feels like hidden fat phobia.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but truly I just don't want people mistreating their kids or other, and also signing on to having a kid is no small task so in my opinion (which is only an opinion) she is in the wrong
@@Louis_McClungi really think you should rewatch your own videos with a new set of eyes, and if you still think shes mistreating her kids then i cant do anything. But, shes feeding her kids things i ate as a kid, especially growing up poor. ive cut food on the counter rather than a cutting board becuase it was faster, and i use one of those dicers like all the time. she honestly isnt doing anything wrong
You and McClung '010 both have good points. Right now, I'm wondering if Alexandr(i)a lives in one of those impoverished 3rd US states where laborers aren't given any rights, wages are cheaper, and chances to actually engage with one's children are harder to come by. And McClung '010 is right that Alexandr(i)a could just as easily be showing a lack of initiative to learn skills.
@@alusiveBug You can eat powdered donuts as a kid, for sure. But a healthy diet for growing child especially at one year old is SO important. You do have a point with the kitchen aid, though. I stopped watching after that odd tangent about "learning to cut vegetables".
Do you guys think Louis would be proud of me for cleaning my room after a whole summer of stepping on broken glass that I was just too tired to clean? I feel so happy, I’m currently sweeping under my bed and picking up monster cans, water bottles and coke bottles. I started with picking up the scarves on my ground and after 3 days my floor is completely clean. I told myself that this will make going into 8th grade much easier and more comfortable, and I suppose I was right. Remember that it takes small steps. Don’t go from going on a 5 minute walk a few times a week to running a marathon. It takes time, motivation, and effort. Something my taekwondo class taught us is to “Try 1% harder every day in anything” whether that be a hobby, a job, a relationship, or school. Work to it at your own pace. You may not reach the finish line as fast as some people, but that’s okay. It’s better to walk a marathon and finish in last place than to dash every mile until you collapse and end up not finishing the race at all. Crawl if you have to, because in the end you’ll look back and realize that you were strong enough to do it all along, and that makes you stronger than those who mock you for feeling weak.
i think that whole "forcing yourself to do it" is finally starting to get into my head i've been stuck in this sort of "state" where i haven't had the energy and motivation to do something even simple and it's been giving me hell, but i think i'm finally starting to (slowly) get out of it. my room is mostly clean for the first time in a long while :D i'm still working on it though, but i'm glad i'm actually getting somewhere!! it's been hella hard to force myself though, videos like this help out a lot!! keep doing what your doing and have an amazing day/night!!!
Ive spent my summer in a state of burnout/depression, probably stemming from the fact that my stepmom is emotionally abusive, and unable to feel accepted by the people that should THE MOST. Most of the summer was spent in bed, on Minecraft or TH-cam, stressing slightly because I felt as if I was wasting my precious last year of freedom from a job before I move out and turn 18, and could have been investing all those hours that were wasted on Minecraft and TH-cam into getting a good head start on my writing before the very likely scenario of it being EXTREMELY slowed down between having a job and college, but every time I opened my writing cromebook to just . . . Write, the best I could do was 15 words in 5 minutes before giving up, not to mention the fact that my room was a horders paradise, and I had some mornings where breakfast was a stuggle because I was so light headed from prioritized rotting over eating. But thankfully, I got outside, professional help that I didn’t hesitate to say yes to, for it wasn’t ME asking my parents for help (something I don’t like to do anymore because I made the mistake of confiding in my stepmother about my autism speculations, and her first response was to limit screen time and sugar, for those were what “caused” my autism, and tried to restrict me to vegetables and fruits and unprocessed meat (which I don’t like for I feel like its still alive) when I already struggle with weight (barely making it past 110 LBS as a 5’11 girl) and improved GREATLY. I have not only cleaned my room, but also put in the effort to rearrange it. I even have over half the chapters of my book outlined, and am the happiest I have ever been with writing in my 4 yrs of this hobby
I have adenomyosis, endometriosis, and POTS. All require a v specific diet plan that was not reached when I was a child. because of that my whole childhood involved A LOT of physical pain that turned mental. I think about all the possibly chronically ill kids when I see parents excusing feeding your children like this. How many there are and what amount of pain do they endure daily due to poor food? but ofc no one considers that.
I’m definitely agreeing with some of the comments saying that this video just feels weird. It doesn’t feel good. People aren’t mentioning it, but you using being lazy and being depressed interchangeably is honestly kind of detestable. Being lazy is not the same as being depressed. Laziness is a choice someone makes, you don’t decide to be lazy, and it just makes people who are depressed feel even more guilty than they already probably do. You should have created a clear disconnect between the two, and the entire time you were talking about laziness, i felt it was partially calling the mentally ill lazy for struggling, and then you brought up depression which completely confirmed my worries about what exactly you were saying. Mentally ill folks are not lazy. You are not lazy for being depressed. You are not lazy for struggling to eat healthy. You are not lazy for struggling to do daily activities.
Thank you so much Louis. Whenever its time to eat, as I usually feed myself obviously, I think about your words. "A good diet makes a good life" is a great quote, excuse me if I botched it. I have bags and bags of pizza rolls that are going bad now because I make meals for myself.
i know the message in this video is probably not for me, but i have depression and anxiety for yeaaarssss now and for the first years i had thought i was lazy and weird, dealing with it by pushing myself to do things. even when i got my diagnosis and meds i still had to push myself every time i had to do something so i get what u mean and kinda agree. but my "laziness" situation changed and now i also deal with physical health problems too, and im so weak im able to do less things. not sharing the details i recently got diagnosis and started treatment for this so im not better yet, but for a long time of dealing with this physical weakness ive thought that maybe i just got lazier than i was and i was mad at myself, the people around me had for sure thought too that im just lazy for. but im not just lazy, im physically weak bc my body is sick, so i cant change my "laziness" by just working on my mindset and pushing myself anymore. im not accustomed to this new diagnosis yet, im still learning to be forgiving and emphatetic towards myself in this new situation so i felt kinda attacked when u started saying things about laziness and all that... even though im supposed to logically know this message is not exactly for me it still kinda hurts... but i just wanted to say, if anybody reads it and feels that they are also too weak to just stop being lazy: u r valid, no matter what Louis said. but pls if u really feel like u just physically cant, consider visiting a doctor. bc there really is a chance that its not just ur mind. u can then start the treatment and explain to urself that u really deserve the forgiving from urself. even when people around u wont believe u and still call u just too lazy, the doctor themselves will tell u the truth and wont guilt trip u, so u really dont have to too.
I feel like the vegetable dicer was not a problem. When you’re cooking dinner, sometimes you don’t want to sit there for a while doing prep. The vegetable cutter seemed useful and efficient.
one of the worst parts about this is that the internet won’t remember this in a few days. but that kid will have to live with for possibly the rest of their life
i do not believe that "lazy life hack gadgets" makes you a bad person. not everyone wants to learn how to cook, they just want to get through the day. i'm one of those people, i am chronically ill with chronic pain but in my country it doesn't count as a disability. i still have to work every day and take care of myself with no accommodations. not being able to teach my kids how to perfectly cut things will be a draw back, but i would rather be able to feed them good food and be there for them over teaching them to cut vegetables
And the part nobody ever talks about is the fact that the kid now has to deal with being overweight and they have to take all the blame for their parents terable decisions and they get bullied for it and then suddenly its "oh i wonder why my child is depressed has a ton of health issues and hates me" Trust me its not as easy as 'work out' or 'take care of yourself' WHEN YOU WERE NEVER EVEN TOUGHT HOW TO
I was that little fat kid that was raised on McDonald’s and processed food 24/7 and I really wish I wasn’t, not only did me being overweight lead to bullying but my mental health was at an all time low due to the low vitamin levels I had
as a teen who has younger siblings (around 1 and 3 years old) it is absolutely disgusting to see what this woman feeds her child. yes sometimes I pack my little siblings lunch but it's mostly a sun butter and jelly sandwich, some cucumbers or another veggie, some fruits/ berries. cheese, maybe leftovers from dinner last night (like plain pasta or chicken nuggets) and sometimes they'll get little cookies and stuff, yeah it's not the healthiest thing ever but they get their proteins and veggies. and the one year old is much chubbier than the 3 year old but that's probably just because he's younger and he probably got genes that make him a bit more chonk and he does love to eat, but that's okay, he eats his fair share of cheeses and veggies and a he's pretty healthy lil guy. and I do indeed feel a bit "ehh" when my parents want to give them a sweet treat but then again they get treats every now and then
hmmmm, upset noises, hmmm..... having a healthy diet is so hard already and its so much harder if u get set for failure from the start, i hope theres a change quickly even tho there probably isn't going to be one. poor kid. and as louis said! yeah of course a donut for breakfast once or twice per week is fine !!! but the issue is doing that all the time!!! holy fuck!!!
It's almost like the chopper by itself isn't lazy, but the clear lack of care and reason to use it. A good reason to use a chopper is if you are multitasking, short on time, or have a physical disability that makes normal chopping difficult. BTW, the chopper isn't 'easy', it's convenient. Make things too convenient, it leads directly to laziness. City people and their need for constant convenience, I'm surprised they remember how to breathe on their own
1:54 few things wrong with this. First of all, sugar is fine. Kids can have sugar. But a 1 year old shouldn’t have that much, it’s going to cause problems since they can’t use their energy from the sugar like a seven year old child would. And again it’s all the days, like you said. Second, this for breakfast. Don’t do that, too much sugar at breakfast isn’t good. You can get away with it later in the day sometimes but not so early because again you’re not walking around early in the morning. I know when I eat breakfast I sit on my bed and chill afterwards rather than immediately doing things. So it doesn’t make sense to have so much sugar when you won’t be using it.
your other videos are cool but don’t think i can get thru this one. just kind of feels weird as someone who has experience with this type of parenting (as the child). i disagree with some points here. respect your other videos tho dude
The uh.. first video made me uncomfortable for some reason.. idk... anyway time to move on with my life with that engraved into my skull Also i agree, the only way to stop being lazy is to just... stop being lazy, no other way.
My mom works in a kindergarten and there is a girl that her parents only give her sugar water and juice, there's basically no actual water in her diet, and her teeth are rotting and it looks so painful and I feel so bad for her
I remember once I learned how to make taco meat I was so proud of myself and excited to do it....also I learned how to stretch dough properly at work recently and that same excitement and pride was there... cooking is so fun frfr
To all parents he is definitely right, I grew up with an alcoholic and kinda absent mother and didn’t see my dad enough, I’m in my teens and went on a double date with my boyfriends parents and did not have a good grasp on cutting utensils so proceeded to accidentally throw stake across the table at his dad. Possibly one of the most mortifying situations ever 💀
i love your videos and def understand your take here, but maybe next time you can acknowledge that not everyone has the mental or physical ability to do the things you’re criticizing her for. specially the box veggie cutter. some people have low dexterity and it’s dangerous for them to use just a knife and cutting board. those are accessibility tools that allow disabled people to have more independence in their lives. as a disabled fan, please don’t forget we also exist in the world
An actual cool parent would provide their kids with what they need and be there for their children, making an effort to care for them and stuff. She checks none of those boxes.
Normally I like your videos (although I’m pretty new) but this one you’ve definitely gotta come back and re-examine. I do think the mom in this video isn’t taking the BEST care of her kid (too much sugar), but it’s clear she is very tired (just look at her face) and there’s a million reasons she could be making the choices she is. You harped on about her using a tool to cut vegetables, and honestly I agree there is something very satisfying to doing all that. But as a young woman who cooks a lot, it can take an hour to prep a large meal if you do it all by hand, and time for families is a premium- especially for a mother. Instead of thinking of why she may be doing anything, you just say “She’s lazy”, and I think that’s unfair to her. She should be doing a better job- and teaching her kid a little more- but she isn’t abusing her kid actively. She fed her one year old a very sugary breakfast (you don’t show any other examples of her doing this, which I feel would be necessary for the point), she made juice for her kid and her nephew once, she used a tool meant to speed up cooking as a mother. Like sorry man this is all reading really bad. I don’t ever think this one should’ve gone up.
honestly, lately, her videos have gotten better (healthier), i think a lot of people who complained about others mom shaming her don’t realize that people were just trying to help her feed her kids better and help them, but the people mocking her are aholes
Fun fact: I know what the kid is watching on tv at 5:35 It’s the color friends or something like that, a bunch of crayons that fill a page of children’s artwork. I know what it is because I used to watch it all the time
love you and agree with the points, but as a preschool teacher, her 1-year-old may genuinely not be ready motor function-wise for a spoon. most 1 year olds aren't, most 1 year olds still need to be fed with a spoon actually. plus its good to train them with things that arent as messy as applesauce. pushing a kid to meet a milestone they aren't ready to meet yet actually can inhibit progress.
I agree that what people see in these tiktoks is something that needs to be talked about. However, every person who talks about it does not consider the fact that 1) She used to post videos with healthier food! And they got a lot less attention than these videos. She saw people hating on her first video of something that not everyone agrees on and thats how she got her content noticed. And 2) She is NOT posting her Childs breakfast, lunch, and dinner + snacks. She is posting maybe one a day. So you dont know if that child is getting actual meals for lunch and dinner, whereas breakfast is just a fast little sweet one. Yes I agree it shouldn’t be everyday, but how many of the people complaining had cereal for breakfast? Cereal every morning before school, or on the weekends? As someone who was not allowed sugar as a kid, I do not sympathize with people telling mothers what they should give there kids unless they are witnessing every meal for like a month straight and are endangering the kids. I was not allowed cake at my OWN birthday parties. I did not get my first cake on my birthday until I was like 11. And now sugar makes me EXTREMELY nauseous. Sugars -whether it be natural in an apple or in a donut- aren’t unhealthy. Its also funny that people will call this mother “lazy” but then see a skinnier, more aesthetic mother, who probably has the money to buy healthier foods, go out and buy her young children coffee and full donuts from Dunkin’ but her comments are positive and praising. It just shows that parenting isnt a set thing and children are different. EVEN WITHOUT THE PARENTING FACTORED IN. You could have an amazing hands on two parent household and the child will turn out a shitty person. But a single mother household with maybe not as much time with her kids because she is working and the kid turns into a really good person. Its not ALWAYS the parenting. Its also how people talk about those types of parenting online. If a child sees an example of their parent online and sees their kid acting a certain way they will “monkey see, monkey do” it. Thank you for coming to my YAP Talk™️
when the kid said “i want water” and then she said she was gonna make it “good water” and put a flavor packet in it my heart broke like he literally wanted water which is AWESOME (especially bc it can be so hard to get kids to want to drink water!) and she’s potentially creating bad habits instead :/
As a parent, my idea of a lazy breakfast is like, toast, cereal or eggs… my kids choose the elements of their breakfast and have a pick and mix breakfast and they are basically able to choose within reason what they have that morning as long as they have: a protein, a dairy, a carbohydrate and a fruit on their tray/ plate.
I’ll never understand how you can feed someone else absolute junk. I understand falling into that trap yourself- i have done that too- but someone else?? How can you not look at someone and treat them with nothing but respect and care? Especially a child? And the water thing..100%!! As much as i love Soda, who can drink only soda? Water is so refreshing und tasty- especially if it’s cold and/or sparkly :P For me personally, good quality water also wakes me up a bit? It’s just that refreshing. And it helps me think clearer and concentrate!! Which is why i drink a lot of water during class and exams :>
My uncle is the polar opposite qith his daughter. He refused to feed her sugar and oil and home cooked every one of her meals. Shes now two and doesnt eat fast food, just an occasional home made pizza or burger. This man gave up pizza for a whole year. We called him uncle pizza bc of how much he loved pizza. This is how kids should be raise
Being lazy as a parent is obviously a problem, but I feel like the main problem here, the diet, is not entirely related. While it’s easy to just cut up donuts for breakfast, I feel like it’s equally easy to cut up a banana or buy pre made, bagged porridge. Maybe it’s ignorance or an unwillingness to learn about the dietary needs of a 1 year old, which can be caused by laziness I guess. But taking short cuts in making the food does no harm to the child, unless it attributes to unhealthy food. A slizer does not make the food unhealthy, putting *sugar* in water does. Which is my biggest problem, because if your child is not able to drink water, it is because of your parenting, not because of the child.
Or it’s because your water tastes like ass (chlorine, etc).
Yeah I totally agree. I’m chronically ill (and I don’t plan to have any children until i’m more functional than rn), but things like the vegetable chopper actually enable me to save a bit of energy that I can then use toward something else I need to get done. it seems lazy or at least unnecessary if you don’t have to budget your energy, but silly kitchen gadgets like that have made cooking so much more manageable for me
But yeah, feeding toddlers powdered donuts and sugary drinks is disgusting. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but people with serious diet-related health problems like this lady should be required to complete some kind of nutrition courses when they have children. This is child abuse and they’re willfully passing a disease onto their kids.
THIS! Cutting up a banana is just as easy as cutting up a donut. Do what's best for your kids so they don't grow up with 100 deficiencies, but also do what's best for yourself. I suffer from a form of chronic joint pain, I can't cut things that aren't soft. Using a slicer doesn't make the food unhealthy 😅
Most water flavor packets are sugar free. Idk about the particular brand that she used in the video, but the amount of people screaming about her "putting sugar in the water" is wild to me. Lol. It likely had none at all.
Exactly! They were focusing on how wrong it is to use tools and I'm just like ??? They're just feeding the child sugar, can we talk about that? There is nothing wrong with using utensils and I was pretty shocked by this video, but of course I'm here to open my mind.

its ok to be lazy, but not so much when you have kids. they require a lot, if not ALL of your attention. i understand wanting to be lazy and not do certain things to the full extent sometimes, but not all the time, not with kids :/
Fr this Lady is not good at parenting
I think it’s okay to occasionally be lazy and do some sweet treats but all the time, no. It creates unhealthy relationships with food and create picky eaters. Not saying all picky eaters are because they get fed crap but in this case, yes.
the powdered doughnuts for the 1yr old is craazyyy. Just give them the applesauce,, they're 1.

My family had a "friend" whos like this with their child. The kid is now 6, severely overweight, still uses a diaper and cant adequately speak because they never took away his binky and it messed up his mouth. It disgusts me, we've tried to help. I refuse to be in contact with them anymore
It's sick what people do to their kids
That’s horrifying. If you can’t take care of a child why have it? Poor child.
Has anyone tried to contact the child protective services yet? I feel like it's the only thing left to do in this situation.
@@stickyspacefish I hope someone has
that's horrible oh my GOSH. literally nauseates me holy crap.
Im so sad for that kid, my mom would eventually cook for me but she never made me try new food like vegetables, fruits, so I never rlly liked those since I was never used to eating them
At some point she literally gave up, I’d only eat junk food and even now, YEARS LATER I’m still struggling to eat healthy
Please don’t make kids if you know you’ll be too lazy to cook for them, make them try healthy food
As a parent it’s your job, do better
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you get yourself eating the way you want to!!!
i feel you! my parents were always working or in their rooms majority of my childhood & most of the time my oldest sister fed me and my other sisters and her being a literal child she only knew how to make a few things. my parents have both been overweight my entire life and until the last year or two they only really bought junk food. i’m 25 now & i eat horribly. i also have struggled w disordered eating since i was 11 (either fasting or binge/purge cycles). i have two kids of my own now & im not super strict about healthy food like i still will let them have some junk food but in moderation and usually as treats. it’s about balance! i will say though my kids eat better than i do 😅
The crazy thing is, most vegetables you don’t even have to cook. You can literally wash them and eat them. I can’t understand the parents that don’t make their kids eat vegetables and fruit. It’s literally the laziest food out there lol
5 months later but my son just shared this channel with me. As a mom, my heart breaks for you. I'm so sorry you had to experience less than stellar parents. But you're an awesome person for trying to widen your horizons and at least start adding healthy foods to your diet. You can do it! Little by little and everything in moderation with the junk food is ok. ✌️
@@ashegrey3042you're a wonderful parent for making sure your kids have it better than you did. That's the whole point of parenting, seeing those little faces and changing yourself, bettering yourself so they don't have to deal with the crap we had to deal with. And you're so right, evening in moderation. It's ok to do a bit of junk food or ice cream or whatever, just not sugar water and sugar donuts everyday like the mom in the vid. Keep on keeping in you awesome parent! ✌️
The cutting tool she uses that slices things quickly isn't necessarily lazy. It's an invention that helps people who have trouble using their hands; such as older people and/or people with arthritis. Inventions making your life easier does not equal to laziness. If there is a way to make life easier, why not do it?
Though, in this mother's case, it's probably laziness
right??? my arthritis is flaring rn and wouldnt be able to chop a lot of things today... so im going to buy pre chopped veg to make my life easier. I suppose a lot of people who don't struggle with these things just dont think about that perspective???
yes you’re right but I think the mother is just doing it out of pure laziness
Might help a bit if you have broken your hand too. Yeah you still need to put pressure down but it’s three times instead of 13 times. So it may help.
As someone who has never been good around sharp objects, it’s great for me. No one wants my skin and blood with their potatoes.😭 I’ve always been incredibly clumsy and no matter hard and often i try i will never be able to cut things as small as i need them to without cutting myself in the process. Idk why, but it is what it is.
Also, it’s just faster. No one i know has the time and energy to sit done and actually cut a bunch of stuff as small as this box-cut-thingy gets it.
yeah I was coming to say things like this a part of me feels so frustrated when people say assistive technology is lazy even if they don't mean it that way it feels so insulting
I disagree with the cutting box, it's useful, I need the time and energy it would hve taken me to cut them without. If the object makes life easier it will be helpful, and I've seen people say a veggie chopper helps them eat salads more because it reduces the effort of making it
Its not about having the cutting box, it's about the idea that she probably hasn't ever tried to cut a vegetable or put in the effort to, because of the fact that she constantly mentions how she's a lazy mom. The cutting box is an amazing tool, I agree, but when he was talking about it, he wasn't critiquing the cutting box itself, but the person behind it.
the hair is looking immaculate today
My farts are better than Louis’ farts 💨
omg right, it’s always so majestic :0
I mean when does it not look immaculate
The cutting tool is actually pretty useful for people who may have issues with their hands or to make the cooking process quicker but in her case it is probably laziness
The part about the water I completely agree with, absolutely! I’d just like to point out that some people have issues with just water, I am autistic and I can’t STAND the taste of water and need to have something in it to make it “editable” (not saying you said anything wrong!

I am autistic and I had issued with water when I was younger, have you tried filtered water? maybe your tap water has too harsh taste due to chemicals or old pipes, or you're drinking on the wrong temperature. humans need water there is no greater joy than to quench your thirst
My parents were just like this, and it got bad. Like, fast food or dessert-like stuff for majority of meals.
What you said about the diet affecting the mental state is so true. It got to the point where I devolved from having breakdowns over the fact we ate the same junk all the time, to refusing to eat that food, and then into eating nothing until dinner in hopes they'd have made some sort of attempt and then binge eat. Making your kids eat donuts for breakfast each morning isn't being a "cool" parent, its being neglectful and will harm both their physical and mental state, if not now then later down the line.
I hope the criticism people are giving them will stick and they'll try better, but I fear they won't.
I’m so sorry. It must be horrible to have dealt with that.
I hope you’re doing better now.

YES
Luis saying that "A healthy diet is the thing you need to do to be better!" is such a blanket statement. Yes, you need a healthy diet, but only eating food that we lable as "healthy" forcing yourself into this isn't helping you, that's a breeding ground to starting to not eat most days because you dread eating the healthy things. I have ARFID which is an eating disorder and it's hell. I personally tell people: "Look if you can't bring yourself into eating healthy, because of any reason, search for the healthy things that don't make you want to stop eating." I eat veggies every single day. Those veggies consist of: carrots, cucumbers, salads and potatoes and occasionally watermelon (when it's in season). I hate any other vegetable and that's okay because I don't put myself in a constant feeling of guilt for not being able to stomach things. I have told my friend: "I can't eat peppers." And she still fed them to me. I threw up everything in me. If you struggle with eating any type of food, like fruits, but you're able to find ONE you like? Eat that one. It doesn't matter if you start trying to stomach more things and fail, if you still have that one fruit you can go back to. What I want to say with this comment is:
If you can find one thing that works and can start to mix it in with the food that isn't as nutritious at least once a day, you will stop craving junk food as much. I like carrots because they give me that crunch I used to search for in chips. Now I eat chips mostly at gatherings not at home. Please eat as healthy as your own body and brains lets you. If you throw up every time you smell dill? Get rid of it from your diet, because throwing up is far more worse to your body then not eating dill.
you dont lose the "ability to chop vegetables" because you use an aid... most of us use these items because we have mobility issues with our hands/arms. Shockingly, we still know how to use knives but choose not to because its easier for us. Also, giving a 1 year old a squeeze pouch instead of a bowl still helps them develop their dexterity, you progress to the bowl and spoon later, this isnt wrong at all.
Louis went after watertok, I fear for his life
your part about the diet being super important for your mental health was so true. im on sick leave from my studies because im depressed and had to spend time in a hospital. there they gave me healty food 4 times a day and i felt so much better after about a week. now that im back home i recognise that on the days where i cook i feel SO MUCH BETTER about myself. when i go days without eating a full meal i just feel miserable and so disapointed in myself. so both eating good and doing something by yourself is such a boost to the mental well being. love your vids!
I'm gonna cry I can't believe I recognized Mrs. Rachel in the background at 8:58. I think I babysit too much 😭😭😭
8:03 true. as someone stick thin going thru a relapse in lack of eating … no matter what you live like you need all the food groups. personally cannot get out of bed if i have any less (for the most part)
Actually the water does turn into syrup when put with sugar but during digestion of said syrup you do get the water content when digested like so it absorbs it but it doesn't completely obliterate the water it's still there it's just water with sugar it just turns to a syrup consistency
And no longer hydrates sadly
@@Louis_McClung if you did 5 minutes of research like I did it still has water in it when you digest it I looked it up it will still hydrate you regardless if there's water properties in it when you digest it just because if there's sugar in it doesn't make it nonhydratable it just makes it less hydratable
@@Louis_McClung for example if you bite into an apple and you feel the juicy liquid that comes out that is water and a lot of other stuff that's in an apple when you digest that juicy Apple you still get the water molecules that's inside Apple when digested.
also, most of those water flavourings are sugar free...
@Louis_McClung if you added salt to it, it wouldn't hydrate anymore, but sugar is just a carbohydrate. sugar water will still hydrate you.
Getting an ad for cooking mama during this video is INCREDIBLY ironic

@@p-__you wish
My mom was like the opposite of this growing up she always encouraged us to eat healthy foods and to learn to cook which is why to this day I'm always open to trying new foods and cooking new things the that mom is encouraging pickiness while even with my upbringing you can still be picky i mean I do have my comfort foods and my little sister is very picky but if you give a child such a limited diet at that age they won't want to try new things when they get older
So..I may be just a bit jaded but I truly cannot believe that this mother is doing this content genuinely, it’s gotta be some kind of engagement bait
I grew up with a mom who made sure that I got fed healthy and nutritious food and was allowed to eat junk food every once in a while
And I still ended up with a messed up relationship with food I pray for those kids cause our generation already have enough Ed’s and issues with food at least do your part as a parent to prevent that
this video wasn’t directed towards me but what you said really spoke to me. my parents are exactly like everything you described and it has rubbed off on me over time. when you’re surrounded by people that don’t feel like getting up and doing something to change their life for the better it makes you feel like it’s okay to do it too. you’re completely correct the only way to change being lazy is to force yourself to get up and do things even if you don’t feel like doing them it’s the only way to break the cycle. the hardest part is convincing others of that though like you said “wanting to better your life but too lazy to get up and do it” is exactly how my parents can be and myself just complain and complain about the situation and saying “i wish things were different” but never getting up to change it. over time i gave up trying to change things and accepted but i don’t want that to be my life. your words opened my eyes
when i was a child my mom would give me half a cup of water every morning and sometimes i cried and swore i would never drink water when i grew up. now water is my favorite beverage, thank you mom
I used to just not drink anything at all and oh my god was I so dehydrated 😭😭

My farts are better than Louis’ farts 💨
I have conflicted emotions about this video. On the one hand I think most of your criticism is more about the trends on tiktok she's embodying than her content itself. If she uses a vegetable fruit cutter box once it isn't indicative of her mental state and neither is using donuts for breakfast. It's better that a kid is getting liquids at all than expecting them to drink plain water right out the gate. But the trend itself of easy-access food and life-hack consumerism tiktok is worthy of criticism and I feel like you could have pointed this out and used her videos as a segue to that broader topic. (especially the water tok bit, I think there was an interesting topic there you could have elaborated on away from this person's account).
HOWEVER. There is a valid criticism in her branding of being a "cool" "lazy" mom. I went to go watch her videos for myself and found that she started nearly every video in that same purposeful fashion, carelessly and almost exasperatedly slamming her kids plate down on the table. Why does she do that so often? What is she trying to convey to the audience, that she dislikes doing this? That this is a frustrating task? She's willingly making these videos for tiktok and frames them this way herself. Yes parenting is hard but I find the online trend of "god parenting is the worst I hate having to put in effort for my kids" quite depressing, especially since a lot of those jokes and opinions I heard when I was a child still follow me around today. It's fair to be off put by her attitude in her videos.
There's the argument that might say "there's no reason to criticize or nit-pick mothers, she's just trying to get by!" which is fair to an extent, if this was your next door neighbor you were gossiping about we'd all think you were an asshole. But this mother is posting these videos of herself for content to gather an audience, so in a way she has already opened herself up for criticism. The internet is not an extension of your private life, it is inherently public and I believe people forget this.
BUT THEN AGAIN! THE FINAL PROBLEM! There is of course the issue of her being fat, and the threat of fat-phobia coloring how someone perceives her videos. Do people dislike her meals and feel her lazy because she's fat? Do they attribute her failing as a mother to her fatness, which fat-phobia unconsciously associates with a moral failing? Would we be this judgemental if she was a skinny mom?
Plus, some of her video imply her financial situation isn't the tightest and it's hard to judge what she buys for her kids if we don't know how consistent her budget is.
Idk I just feel like this is a very nuanced situation and I was frustrated that the comment section was all either negative "you're being so mean" or positive "yeah junk food sucks". sorry for the essay in your comment section man.
It's never a our once, you are right, it's more about the idea yes!
I just want to say something, as someone who is autistic, and therefore has a different view on foods. I have such a hard time eating a lot of foods that are comcidered "healthy." I know that I need to eat healthy, but trying to force myself to eat those foods can me feel ill. A lot of the time, I just have to eat those unhealthy foods, or my comfort foods. I've definitely been doing better, I eat a lot of fruit, and I combine proteins and other things with the unhealthy things, so its digestable for me. Anyway, just a different point of view
Honestly i feel similar. Sometimes when i have something like a mixed salat i pick out the food i like and leave the rest. Or i choose to only eat my comfort foods, which are incredibly unhealthy. All other foods are either too much change for me (i hate change), or they have a weird texture or something

I wouldn't call this laziness, it looks more like burnout, which eighter way doesn't excuse her actions.
I see moms on tiktok buying donuts from establishments and because its aesthetic the comments are like "oh SLAY those looks great" but when this mom gives her kids powdered donuts that bad? I know and understand the diet is poor but the kid(s) could have issues with texture and need a specific meal or can eat only a few things without hating it and gagging. When I was little I couldn't eat cauliflower because of the texture and- that wasn't my parents fault. I don't think what this woman is doing is truly harming her kids.
Edit: go back far into her page, its engagement bait! She gives or at least used to give her kids HEALTHY food. Those videos did worse then the ones that have hate surrounding them. My thought is maybe she makes a meal for breakfast that is mediocore and films that but for the rest of the day its healthy and decent meals.
"You have an amazing attention span"
I was drawing Bill Cipher the entire time lol
The intro was very excellent I jumped for joy
12:38 it’s hard bc depression and health problems make me not be so hard on myself for not being more active, but then there still has to be this push out of the much, some motivation. i’m still finding it. health weighs me down but i’ll get there.
(i don’t really use the word “lazy” so i used “be more active”)
Probably the only Louis video I disagree with. You can't expect a 1 year old to be into healthy foods, or that this woman has the ability to access healthier options. 3 powdered donuts is not crazy at all for a little kid 😭
man is on his grind
1:51 this felt like knives were stabbing me, powdered donuts?!? Just DONUTS IN GENERAL FOR A 1-year old?!? My little brother is 4 and has only had stuff that sugary once or twice. And you wanna know what he prefers over a lollipop? Yogurt. Please there are healthier foods to feed your kids!!! Do you wanna pay even more money for cavities?!?!?
My mom was a MSM (married single mom) of an autistic kid with EDS (me) and a kid with adhd and blood sugar rage issues (my sister). Mom has ADD. Food was hard. Cleaning was impossible. Both of these got worse after the divorce.
But despite all the eating out, the not-water drinks, the unclean house and nearly unusable kitchen, we did what we could to have balance in our meals. To be active, despite our exhaustion.
And dad was no help. If anything, he made the food relationships worse and the cleaning adversion worse. Mom tried. She tried to give us the tools we can use in our future despite our present. Dad just shamed and shamed and shamed.
Especially about kitchen gadgets like the cutter box. I knew and still know how to use a knife but the box made it so i wouldnt be exhausted from prep alone and i could cook more food, more frequently to save for later. He called me lazy. As if he wasnt using his microwave bacon cooker every morning instead of a pan. I eventually stopped and only ate frozen dumplings and rice from costco bc he would also complain about how much it cost to feed us kids and those would last me months.
Am i still struggling bc of how i was raised? Absolutely.
Am i adapting and overcoming? As best as my crumbling body will allow me.
If i had carried to term and had a 5yo rn, would i be like this mom? HELL NO. I'd give everything i have to be even an 1/8 the parent my mom was to me. Id do all i can to keep everything reasonably clean as i could manage, everyones bellies full, and as healthy as fiscally possible.
Being a parent is the hardest job in the world but its not hard to gice your baby bowl of sauce and a spoon. Its not hard to give them plain water (even water with some juice in it).
Its okay to do frozen (frozen veggies arent better than fresh but theyre better than nothing), its okay to use tools (humanity is defined by tools), its okay to do things the easy way (if youre disabled, its the best and often only way. You arent "lazy" youre leveling the playing field). So long as meals are balanced (within budget) and the kids are full (regardless if they ate everything or not), thats what matters. Dont force your kids to eat shit they hate (or physically cannot due to an adversion as seen in neurodivergent people) but dont just feed them junk. Junk is a treat, not a meal.
Not everybody 'chooses' to have their kids. I agree with this video, she should do better, all parents should make an effort for their child, but that having kids is a choice is sadly often not true. So many more factors play into that.
I love when Kurtis uploads 🥰 He always brightens my day!
THE WHAT
NEW LOUIS VIDEO!!
off topic but i love ur old philosophy videos stuff 🫶!!
OMG ME TOO!!!!!!!!
I’m thirteen and my mom is (unfortunately) like this. I genuinely feel bad for my siblings since they’re getting a crappy childhood. I spent a lot more time with my grandparents when I was little because my mom worked more often then
and it’s the only reason I got taught manners. My siblings are 9, 7, and 5 and they spent more time with mom and they behave TERRIBLY. I don’t eat vegetables very well, partly because I’m autistic, but my siblings REFUSE to eat them (as in they throw full on tantrums over broccoli) and that’s because my mom never makes them eat veggies. I really love my mom and she’s the only real parent I have since my dad doesn’t put in any effort whatsoever (my parents aren’t together btw) but I feel so terrible that this is the way my mom is choosing to raise her kids :(
(sorry for the trauma dump, i just thought it’d be nice to provide a point of view coming from someone who has a mom like this)
It scratches my brain so good when Louis busts out the "loser idiots" insults
Sometimes i feel like we're doing a bad job but then i see stuff like this and I'm filled with hope 🤣😂
louis never fails to spread my cheeks😂in joy!
ayo
My farts are better than Louis’ farts 💨
Ayo
this video feels werid, like powdered sugar donuts for a 1 yr old is kinda weird, but criticizing her for giving a child single serve apple sauce in the pouch instead of pouring it out?? for using a food dicer?? making jucie for some kids?? shes not going to forget how to dice a potato by using an aid to make it easier for her. this all calling her lazy just feels like hidden fat phobia.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but truly I just don't want people mistreating their kids or other, and also signing on to having a kid is no small task so in my opinion (which is only an opinion) she is in the wrong
You shouldn't be lazy when it comes to raising your children
@@Louis_McClungi really think you should rewatch your own videos with a new set of eyes, and if you still think shes mistreating her kids then i cant do anything. But, shes feeding her kids things i ate as a kid, especially growing up poor. ive cut food on the counter rather than a cutting board becuase it was faster, and i use one of those dicers like all the time. she honestly isnt doing anything wrong
You and McClung '010 both have good points. Right now, I'm wondering if Alexandr(i)a lives in one of those impoverished 3rd US states where laborers aren't given any rights, wages are cheaper, and chances to actually engage with one's children are harder to come by. And McClung '010 is right that Alexandr(i)a could just as easily be showing a lack of initiative to learn skills.
@@alusiveBug You can eat powdered donuts as a kid, for sure. But a healthy diet for growing child especially at one year old is SO important. You do have a point with the kitchen aid, though. I stopped watching after that odd tangent about "learning to cut vegetables".
Do you guys think Louis would be proud of me for cleaning my room after a whole summer of stepping on broken glass that I was just too tired to clean? I feel so happy, I’m currently sweeping under my bed and picking up monster cans, water bottles and coke bottles. I started with picking up the scarves on my ground and after 3 days my floor is completely clean. I told myself that this will make going into 8th grade much easier and more comfortable, and I suppose I was right. Remember that it takes small steps. Don’t go from going on a 5 minute walk a few times a week to running a marathon. It takes time, motivation, and effort. Something my taekwondo class taught us is to “Try 1% harder every day in anything” whether that be a hobby, a job, a relationship, or school. Work to it at your own pace. You may not reach the finish line as fast as some people, but that’s okay. It’s better to walk a marathon and finish in last place than to dash every mile until you collapse and end up not finishing the race at all. Crawl if you have to, because in the end you’ll look back and realize that you were strong enough to do it all along, and that makes you stronger than those who mock you for feeling weak.
just found your channel and now i’m gonna binge every video 😍😍
Just FYI, most of those water flavor packets are sugar free. Miles away from the "straight sugar" you implied.
i think that whole "forcing yourself to do it" is finally starting to get into my head
i've been stuck in this sort of "state" where i haven't had the energy and motivation to do something even simple and it's been giving me hell, but i think i'm finally starting to (slowly) get out of it. my room is mostly clean for the first time in a long while :D i'm still working on it though, but i'm glad i'm actually getting somewhere!! it's been hella hard to force myself though, videos like this help out a lot!! keep doing what your doing and have an amazing day/night!!!
Ive spent my summer in a state of burnout/depression, probably stemming from the fact that my stepmom is emotionally abusive, and unable to feel accepted by the people that should THE MOST. Most of the summer was spent in bed, on Minecraft or TH-cam, stressing slightly because I felt as if I was wasting my precious last year of freedom from a job before I move out and turn 18, and could have been investing all those hours that were wasted on Minecraft and TH-cam into getting a good head start on my writing before the very likely scenario of it being EXTREMELY slowed down between having a job and college, but every time I opened my writing cromebook to just . . . Write, the best I could do was 15 words in 5 minutes before giving up, not to mention the fact that my room was a horders paradise, and I had some mornings where breakfast was a stuggle because I was so light headed from prioritized rotting over eating. But thankfully, I got outside, professional help that I didn’t hesitate to say yes to, for it wasn’t ME asking my parents for help (something I don’t like to do anymore because I made the mistake of confiding in my stepmother about my autism speculations, and her first response was to limit screen time and sugar, for those were what “caused” my autism, and tried to restrict me to vegetables and fruits and unprocessed meat (which I don’t like for I feel like its still alive) when I already struggle with weight (barely making it past 110 LBS as a 5’11 girl) and improved GREATLY. I have not only cleaned my room, but also put in the effort to rearrange it. I even have over half the chapters of my book outlined, and am the happiest I have ever been with writing in my 4 yrs of this hobby
I have adenomyosis, endometriosis, and POTS. All require a v specific diet plan that was not reached when I was a child. because of that my whole childhood involved A LOT of physical pain that turned mental. I think about all the possibly chronically ill kids when I see parents excusing feeding your children like this. How many there are and what amount of pain do they endure daily due to poor food? but ofc no one considers that.
I’m definitely agreeing with some of the comments saying that this video just feels weird. It doesn’t feel good.
People aren’t mentioning it, but you using being lazy and being depressed interchangeably is honestly kind of detestable. Being lazy is not the same as being depressed. Laziness is a choice someone makes, you don’t decide to be lazy, and it just makes people who are depressed feel even more guilty than they already probably do.
You should have created a clear disconnect between the two, and the entire time you were talking about laziness, i felt it was partially calling the mentally ill lazy for struggling, and then you brought up depression which completely confirmed my worries about what exactly you were saying.
Mentally ill folks are not lazy. You are not lazy for being depressed. You are not lazy for struggling to eat healthy. You are not lazy for struggling to do daily activities.
Thank you so much Louis. Whenever its time to eat, as I usually feed myself obviously, I think about your words. "A good diet makes a good life" is a great quote, excuse me if I botched it.
I have bags and bags of pizza rolls that are going bad now because I make meals for myself.
i know the message in this video is probably not for me, but i have depression and anxiety for yeaaarssss now and for the first years i had thought i was lazy and weird, dealing with it by pushing myself to do things. even when i got my diagnosis and meds i still had to push myself every time i had to do something so i get what u mean and kinda agree. but my "laziness" situation changed and now i also deal with physical health problems too, and im so weak im able to do less things. not sharing the details i recently got diagnosis and started treatment for this so im not better yet, but for a long time of dealing with this physical weakness ive thought that maybe i just got lazier than i was and i was mad at myself, the people around me had for sure thought too that im just lazy for. but im not just lazy, im physically weak bc my body is sick, so i cant change my "laziness" by just working on my mindset and pushing myself anymore. im not accustomed to this new diagnosis yet, im still learning to be forgiving and emphatetic towards myself in this new situation so i felt kinda attacked when u started saying things about laziness and all that... even though im supposed to logically know this message is not exactly for me it still kinda hurts... but i just wanted to say, if anybody reads it and feels that they are also too weak to just stop being lazy: u r valid, no matter what Louis said. but pls if u really feel like u just physically cant, consider visiting a doctor. bc there really is a chance that its not just ur mind. u can then start the treatment and explain to urself that u really deserve the forgiving from urself. even when people around u wont believe u and still call u just too lazy, the doctor themselves will tell u the truth and wont guilt trip u, so u really dont have to too.
I feel like the vegetable dicer was not a problem. When you’re cooking dinner, sometimes you don’t want to sit there for a while doing prep. The vegetable cutter seemed useful and efficient.
one of the worst parts about this is that the internet won’t remember this in a few days. but that kid will have to live with for possibly the rest of their life
i do not believe that "lazy life hack gadgets" makes you a bad person. not everyone wants to learn how to cook, they just want to get through the day. i'm one of those people, i am chronically ill with chronic pain but in my country it doesn't count as a disability. i still have to work every day and take care of myself with no accommodations. not being able to teach my kids how to perfectly cut things will be a draw back, but i would rather be able to feed them good food and be there for them over teaching them to cut vegetables
And the part nobody ever talks about is the fact that the kid now has to deal with being overweight and they have to take all the blame for their parents terable decisions and they get bullied for it and then suddenly its "oh i wonder why my child is depressed has a ton of health issues and hates me"
Trust me its not as easy as 'work out' or 'take care of yourself' WHEN YOU WERE NEVER EVEN TOUGHT HOW TO
"you have a great attention span"
Me: Sir I am crocheting a sweater rn
i’m drawing my old anthropomorphic ocs 😭
I was that little fat kid that was raised on McDonald’s and processed food 24/7 and I really wish I wasn’t, not only did me being overweight lead to bullying but my mental health was at an all time low due to the low vitamin levels I had
I actually rlly like the box slicer thing but I also know how to use a cutting board too haha. I like the box slicer because it has nice uniform cuts
this is literally how childhood obesity occurs. it can ruin a kid's life, this revolts me :(
as a teen who has younger siblings (around 1 and 3 years old) it is absolutely disgusting to see what this woman feeds her child. yes sometimes I pack my little siblings lunch but it's mostly a sun butter and jelly sandwich, some cucumbers or another veggie, some fruits/ berries. cheese, maybe leftovers from dinner last night (like plain pasta or chicken nuggets) and sometimes they'll get little cookies and stuff, yeah it's not the healthiest thing ever but they get their proteins and veggies. and the one year old is much chubbier than the 3 year old but that's probably just because he's younger and he probably got genes that make him a bit more chonk and he does love to eat, but that's okay, he eats his fair share of cheeses and veggies and a he's pretty healthy lil guy. and I do indeed feel a bit "ehh" when my parents want to give them a sweet treat but then again they get treats every now and then
hmmmm, upset noises, hmmm..... having a healthy diet is so hard already and its so much harder if u get set for failure from the start, i hope theres a change quickly even tho there probably isn't going to be one. poor kid. and as louis said! yeah of course a donut for breakfast once or twice per week is fine !!! but the issue is doing that all the time!!! holy fuck!!!
also, water sucks ngl, i really cant have it if i dont have something to mix it with
also finished the video, a bit on the fence on how i feel about it!!!
its not lazy to use a chopper. wtf kind of world is it wrong to make life easier? genuinely i wonder if the reaction would be similar for a skinny mom
It's almost like the chopper by itself isn't lazy, but the clear lack of care and reason to use it.
A good reason to use a chopper is if you are multitasking, short on time, or have a physical disability that makes normal chopping difficult.
BTW, the chopper isn't 'easy', it's convenient. Make things too convenient, it leads directly to laziness. City people and their need for constant convenience, I'm surprised they remember how to breathe on their own
@@jamiemunger2931wtf? you don’t get to “earn the right” to use a chopper.
@@jamiemunger2931 you sound like a major loser dude
Wtf how are you almost at 10k, I decide do audition for a musical, and next thing I know I have no time to watch Louis McClung (intense sobbing)
1:54 few things wrong with this. First of all, sugar is fine. Kids can have sugar. But a 1 year old shouldn’t have that much, it’s going to cause problems since they can’t use their energy from the sugar like a seven year old child would. And again it’s all the days, like you said.
Second, this for breakfast. Don’t do that, too much sugar at breakfast isn’t good. You can get away with it later in the day sometimes but not so early because again you’re not walking around early in the morning. I know when I eat breakfast I sit on my bed and chill afterwards rather than immediately doing things. So it doesn’t make sense to have so much sugar when you won’t be using it.
your other videos are cool but don’t think i can get thru this one. just kind of feels weird as someone who has experience with this type of parenting (as the child). i disagree with some points here. respect your other videos tho dude
Omg I was just thinking the same exact thing. I also went through things very similar to that as well.
This video was bad. I’m considering not watching anymore after seeing this. Bad mental health “advice,” parent shaming, and just overall bad takes.
@@TheKeyToAllen You shouldn’t base someone’s entire content on one video.
The uh.. first video made me uncomfortable for some reason.. idk... anyway time to move on with my life with that engraved into my skull
Also i agree, the only way to stop being lazy is to just... stop being lazy, no other way.
louis, funkyfrogbait, and nicole rafiee are my dream blunt rotation
My mom works in a kindergarten and there is a girl that her parents only give her sugar water and juice, there's basically no actual water in her diet, and her teeth are rotting and it looks so painful and I feel so bad for her
I use the powder packets sometimes for a little flavor but I also most of the time I drink normal water
I remember once I learned how to make taco meat I was so proud of myself and excited to do it....also I learned how to stretch dough properly at work recently and that same excitement and pride was there... cooking is so fun frfr
To all parents he is definitely right, I grew up with an alcoholic and kinda absent mother and didn’t see my dad enough, I’m in my teens and went on a double date with my boyfriends parents and did not have a good grasp on cutting utensils so proceeded to accidentally throw stake across the table at his dad. Possibly one of the most mortifying situations ever 💀
Preach about the food. Ive struggled with eating for a while, and I admit eating healthy is important. If you dont eat you end sad, depressed, "lazy"
i love your videos and def understand your take here, but maybe next time you can acknowledge that not everyone has the mental or physical ability to do the things you’re criticizing her for. specially the box veggie cutter. some people have low dexterity and it’s dangerous for them to use just a knife and cutting board. those are accessibility tools that allow disabled people to have more independence in their lives. as a disabled fan, please don’t forget we also exist in the world
i just think you’re missing a little nuance here
An actual cool parent would provide their kids with what they need and be there for their children, making an effort to care for them and stuff. She checks none of those boxes.
Ok ok but what is that gadget at 5:24 that would be so useful for my disabled ass
Normally I like your videos (although I’m pretty new) but this one you’ve definitely gotta come back and re-examine.
I do think the mom in this video isn’t taking the BEST care of her kid (too much sugar), but it’s clear she is very tired (just look at her face) and there’s a million reasons she could be making the choices she is.
You harped on about her using a tool to cut vegetables, and honestly I agree there is something very satisfying to doing all that. But as a young woman who cooks a lot, it can take an hour to prep a large meal if you do it all by hand, and time for families is a premium- especially for a mother.
Instead of thinking of why she may be doing anything, you just say “She’s lazy”, and I think that’s unfair to her. She should be doing a better job- and teaching her kid a little more- but she isn’t abusing her kid actively.
She fed her one year old a very sugary breakfast (you don’t show any other examples of her doing this, which I feel would be necessary for the point), she made juice for her kid and her nephew once, she used a tool meant to speed up cooking as a mother.
Like sorry man this is all reading really bad. I don’t ever think this one should’ve gone up.
honestly, lately, her videos have gotten better (healthier), i think a lot of people who complained about others mom shaming her don’t realize that people were just trying to help her feed her kids better and help them, but the people mocking her are aholes
Fun fact:
I know what the kid is watching on tv at 5:35
It’s the color friends or something like that, a bunch of crayons that fill a page of children’s artwork. I know what it is because I used to watch it all the time
love you and agree with the points, but as a preschool teacher, her 1-year-old may genuinely not be ready motor function-wise for a spoon. most 1 year olds aren't, most 1 year olds still need to be fed with a spoon actually. plus its good to train them with things that arent as messy as applesauce. pushing a kid to meet a milestone they aren't ready to meet yet actually can inhibit progress.
I agree that what people see in these tiktoks is something that needs to be talked about. However, every person who talks about it does not consider the fact that
1) She used to post videos with healthier food! And they got a lot less attention than these videos. She saw people hating on her first video of something that not everyone agrees on and thats how she got her content noticed.
And 2) She is NOT posting her Childs breakfast, lunch, and dinner + snacks. She is posting maybe one a day. So you dont know if that child is getting actual meals for lunch and dinner, whereas breakfast is just a fast little sweet one. Yes I agree it shouldn’t be everyday, but how many of the people complaining had cereal for breakfast? Cereal every morning before school, or on the weekends?
As someone who was not allowed sugar as a kid, I do not sympathize with people telling mothers what they should give there kids unless they are witnessing every meal for like a month straight and are endangering the kids. I was not allowed cake at my OWN birthday parties. I did not get my first cake on my birthday until I was like 11. And now sugar makes me EXTREMELY nauseous. Sugars -whether it be natural in an apple or in a donut- aren’t unhealthy.
Its also funny that people will call this mother “lazy” but then see a skinnier, more aesthetic mother, who probably has the money to buy healthier foods, go out and buy her young children coffee and full donuts from Dunkin’ but her comments are positive and praising.
It just shows that parenting isnt a set thing and children are different. EVEN WITHOUT THE PARENTING FACTORED IN. You could have an amazing hands on two parent household and the child will turn out a shitty person. But a single mother household with maybe not as much time with her kids because she is working and the kid turns into a really good person. Its not ALWAYS the parenting. Its also how people talk about those types of parenting online. If a child sees an example of their parent online and sees their kid acting a certain way they will “monkey see, monkey do” it.
Thank you for coming to my YAP Talk™️
new favorite commentary youtuber unlocked
3:26 My 1 year old half sister thats turning 2 in october can already use a fork lol. Im not even kidding or lying.
I feel this so much, I grew up spoiled and eating a lot of junk, so now it’s much harder for me to stay on a diet
when the kid said “i want water” and then she said she was gonna make it “good water” and put a flavor packet in it my heart broke like he literally wanted water which is AWESOME (especially bc it can be so hard to get kids to want to drink water!) and she’s potentially creating bad habits instead :/
1:44 The fact that I can tell the EXACT toy her child is playing with just from the sounds it's making
14:06 me on my fourth video in a row …👁️👁️
As a parent, my idea of a lazy breakfast is like, toast, cereal or eggs… my kids choose the elements of their breakfast and have a pick and mix breakfast and they are basically able to choose within reason what they have that morning as long as they have: a protein, a dairy, a carbohydrate and a fruit on their tray/ plate.
I’ll never understand how you can feed someone else absolute junk. I understand falling into that trap yourself- i have done that too- but someone else??
How can you not look at someone and treat them with nothing but respect and care? Especially a child?
And the water thing..100%!! As much as i love Soda, who can drink only soda? Water is so refreshing und tasty- especially if it’s cold and/or sparkly :P
For me personally, good quality water also wakes me up a bit? It’s just that refreshing. And it helps me think clearer and concentrate!! Which is why i drink a lot of water during class and exams :>
My uncle is the polar opposite qith his daughter. He refused to feed her sugar and oil and home cooked every one of her meals. Shes now two and doesnt eat fast food, just an occasional home made pizza or burger. This man gave up pizza for a whole year. We called him uncle pizza bc of how much he loved pizza. This is how kids should be raise
