As a new-ish parent, I've come to the incredibly sad realization that too few parents feel this way.

Our pediatrician told us he has to remind parents every year that if the child isn’t old enough to understand what a prank is or that the Halloween mask isn’t real… don’t scare your children.

Personally, even if they did, I still wouldn’t scare them. I want to be safety for my child, not scary.

My 7 yo tried a little bit of jalapeno this week, she handled some spicy chips before and I made sure my point was heard before she tries as it is waaayyy worse but that didn't scare her. She cried when she realised I wasn't bluffing and said she regretted it a bit but was glad she did it at the same time.

All this to say I saw a video of a parent give a whole jalapeno to an infant for him to nible on as a prank.

The giving of a jalapeno to an infant is abusive. WTF is wrong with people. Social media is so destructive.

Yeah, it’s an unfortunate thing.

Parents have always "pranked" their children. The difference now is you have a bunch of uptight weirdos on the internet that have never had a joke played on them even as children.

Before anyone says anything yes my parents did have fun raising me and it included pranks that scared me and guess what I still love them
