🚼 Baby is safe
Bonus: baby has an opportunity to acquire the lycanthrope subtype
Can’t argue with the results.
Copmuter so fun tho
Still better than the morons who took their baby to a Taylor Swift concert…
…maybe it’s just the shows I’ve been too, but a baby on the ground (not even getting into the fucking LACK IF HEARING PROTECTION ON THE KIDS EARS) is just asking to get the kid trampled ☹️
Yeah, dude. I’ve been to very few shows where a baby in that position would be safe. I hope the parent got some kind of reprimand beyond public shaming because this is a fucking nutso decision to make
That’s moronic, not gonna lie, but I just want to say, man, being the first one in my friend group to have had a kid, it was bonkers what I was invited to, with all seriousness. Concerts, house parties, clubs,… When I pointed out I have a 3 week old baby it was “just leave it with their dad for the night!” When I told them it was a fully breastfed baby it was “oh then just bring the baby! It’ll be fun!” When I tried to point out that I am exhausted, recovering, and am using any minute that I don’t tender to the baby to sleep - as did my partner - I got “oh wow I thought they mostly sleep lol, well ok then maybe next week at that other house party at the other end of the city? It will be full of people you don’t know and it starts at 10 pm, there will be beer but you can bring some hard liquor!”
So, to heavily play devil’s advocate, maybe these are new parents that were pressured into being cool and staying the same despite having a baby… By outsiders or by themselves.
I hear you and empathize, but putting them on the ground? Like, the place where people jump in excitement at concerts? I think you might be cutting them a bit too much slack tbh
Concert. Baby. Irreparable hearing damage.
I’m in my city’s Share&Care chat and you wouldn’t believe how many people keep asking for sound cancelling headphones for their babies because they want to go to some concert
Honestly, props to them. At least they’re trying to protect the kid while wanting to do something fun. It may not be the best choice around, but they’re at least trying to be somewhat smart about their choices, assuming they bail or find a babysitter if they don’t get them.

And the baby is on the floor because…?
Babies love floors! /s
The floor is the natural environment for babies, hence why they learn to craw before they learn to walk /s
Baby carriers are expensive xD
They aren’t called rug rats for nothin
pretty sure “rug rats” come from how they are conceived…
have you fucked on the floor? It’s uncomfortable…
🤔 Although when I did it it was on a non-carpeted floor with a towel down, does a rug help?No, now you get rugburn along with being uncomfortable.
Still, would do it again 🤣
Would you prefer they do the opposite?
The second I had kids, nobody invited me to anything - even things I could do with a baby like a barbecue in the park.
“Don’t invite Troubador, he has a
newborn,toddler… Who?”
Right? Expose your baby to quality music, like Lorna Shore.
With good ear protection though, or the pain will remain.
I’ve seen a number of comments coming in defense of the mother but I didn’t read the OP as a critique in the first place.
The caption is just a funny “rationalization” for the scenario we’re seeing.
Is that a werewolf or beaver to their left?
The dreaded were-beav!
It’s a weaver! No, wait, that one works…
Im pretty sure thats a child. Easy mistake.
That’s the father
That’s the mother.
Furry.
Alright, I’ll bite. That baby is perfectly fine and probably enjoying watching their mom Do Things (babies love this for some reason). Obviously not the safest being where you could drop a skeeball on them, but Mom is very aware of that I’m sure. Laying face up on the ground is actually safer than trying to precariously hold them and risking dropping them.
Right?
My concern is the cleanliness of that patch of floor though.
Kids build their immune systems with dirt.
As in go play outside, and be with friends.
Not as in put your face on the arcade floor.The baby is on their back. Their face is pointing up. It doesn’t seem to be old enough to crawl away, so I don’t think there’s a danger of the baby rubbing their face on the floor. The mom stepping on it, kicking it, or dropping an errant skeeball on it accidentally seems plausible.
That was a bit of hyperbole on my part.
The baby has hands, the hands are on the floor, the hands are soon to be in the baby’s mouth. That’s what I was getting at. When a baby is on the floor, floor dirt will be getting in the baby’s mouth.
That is good for the baby and probably adults too
For sure. No way I’m putting my kid on the floor at Chuck E Cheese. Just asking for the plague at that point.
That baby is most certainly not fine! Clearly you have never played skee ball. It is not uncommon for the ball to come back down the ramp or for you to drop one on the floor
Skill issue
Look when I take a date to an arcade, she better appreciate skeeball.
Skeeball is like THE arcade game of arcade games. Because after a few rounds it starts to click. And you got your rhythm and your throw. But every slight deviation you get a different result. I love it.
I mean, same. Skeeball is the shit
Outta balls? Throw the baby!
Safest place for it, maybe?
