Are these people mental?

Or do you think organic brain damage? Because if two adults need 4 hours to get a toddler to pick up a carrot, the only excuse they have is if they are severely retarded. Or sadists.
Then everybody goes, “they were such a normal family. It’s incomprehensible why the kid became a heroin addict / shot up a school. It must be completely random.”
What would you do in this situation?

Google a psychiatrist and make an urgent appointment for me and the dad.
At age 2 they drop everything all the time because motor skills aren’t there yet, and if you are this triggered, seek help. Especially if it’s a little red phallic object that is causing both parents simultaneously to lose it.
Speaking of phallic, this tweet won the Internet today:.

Sorry, I thought the kid was 4, not 2. No question then. 🙂

Yes, it’s 4 hours, 2 years old.
Is it possible he mistyped? Because 4yo, of course, a different situation entirely.

When a woman famous on the internet for posting gangbang invitations and doing data analysis on the outcomes says “my parents were like you” it may be time to introspect.

That is equally abnormal. We are talking about parents with no solid sense of self in both cases. They can’t assume parental authority and this freaks out the kids.

tbf, Scott’s was just a long post of cute toddler-twin stories, of the sort that any parent has*. But the rationalists can’t just laugh at funny little-kid stories being well told by a good writer, no, they have to make it into a theory of everything.
*And twins are a whole ‘nother ballgame from singletons. I’d go fix one disaster and while I was doing so, they’d create a new one. The thing is, with kids of different ages, you’ll get the younger one who isn’t quite able to do the plot, or the older one who realizes that the plot = getting in trouble. But with twins, no matter the one’s hare-brained scheme, the other’s response is only “Brilliant!”
