My neighborhood children get us every time. We can’t get mad just rotfl cause they suck at it…they need to run faster or say “Hello, to the cam”. We love it!!!
@@anukash9397 Only in the America of today maybe. And even then statistics prove that the media created fear far out weights actual kidnappings. Every kid in Europe would be just fine.
It doesn't really matter, no matter what the younger generations do, the older generations will find something to be mad about. It's just the natural cycle. Every older generation will scorn the younger ones in the same exact ways. It's always "you never go outside" then it turns to "you go outside too much, do you not want to spend time with family?" Always some excuse to get mad.
My dad passed 2005 im the only girl having 2 big brothers,im close to my father than my mom..You and Dawson reminds me of my childhood,how my relationship to my dad seems very similar conversations,arguing when were having disagreement😂.watching your videos missing more my father❤
I grew up in the 80s and when our apartment building was built, the construction company left a 2 story pile of dirt next to it for YEARS. That pile of dirt brought all the neighbor kids together. In the winter, we'd go sledding and do mini snow mountain things. In the summer, it was an Acton Park wannabe. One year all the kids even came together to pick up all the trash that accumulated on "our" mountain to keep it safe for us. LOVED that pile of dirt.
Did you grow up in NY too? Action Park was the best!! Have you watched the documentary "Class Action Park?" Ohhh the memories!! You have to watch it! ❤
Grew up in the early 2000s in q copper mine boom town the gravel use for construction was the mines dump rocks use to love digging for copper never found proper blue copper but it was easy to find chunks of gold or bronze colour copper
Brilliant!! You forgot suggesting - playing ball - riding bicycle - explore the neighborhood with friends ... We used to look for adventure everywhere. We did sports. We even took books outside, climbed a tree and made ourselves comfy there with snacks.
The fact that this punishment makes more sense nowadays than back when we were kids. And also the fact screen addiction has gotten to a point where "There's nothing to do outside!” 😞
I don't think it's screen addiction. There IS nothing to do outside, you have to find something to do. If you don't have siblings or friends, then it's really difficult to have fun with just your surroundings. It also depends on where they live. Trying to find something to do outside in a city sounds horrible.
@@DevilJhoMama yeah true. I should've taken those other points into consideration when writing the comment. I understand some people might not have the freedom to do anything outside because of lack of yard space or people to hang out with. I'm kinda in the same boat with the latter. I realized a week ago that I had forgotten to save some real life friends' numbers to my contacts when I left high school. I don't know what they're doing now and I don't know how to effectively check in on them. Hope they're doing okay in the world though. Aside from that though, I remember how easy it was (for me) to find something to do outside. I guess it just comes down to imagination (and yard space) at that point lol.
my family didnt even take my phone id take a laptop sometimes and lay in the yard listening to the sounds and tinkering with this old dos laptop i found in the basement bottom inch of the screen didnt work
“You’d rather be inside so your punishment has to be outside” 😂😂 ohh that makes me sad. As a 2000s baby I grew up on the tail end of the era of playing outside and I miss it.
Yeah, my dad grew up with an entire forest near his house. I'm just in a shadeless neighborhood with grumpy paranoid neighbors. It's not really the same anymore.
Saame , they realized I would rather be reading than anything else, so they took that from me instead, still. Big fan of Clive barker and Stephen King or (Richard bachman)
Hah this is what my brother needs. I mean my dad tried it once but did it on a really hot day so we just chilled in the shade complaining until he let us in to cool down. (To he fair he was mowing the lawn the whole time! He was out for even longer than we were.)
Not really. I’m an introvert and I love doing stuff outside. Just not with people since that’s draining. I can handle someone saying “hi”. I can’t handle an hour or two with a random person i don’t know coming up to me out of nowhere.
As an introvert I have absolutely no problem to be outside the most referable is a long silent walk trough a park I can pop in the headphones and just chill there alone in nature breathing fresh air and absorbing some sunlight undisturbed
@@reroman3950 when I grew up in the 80's introvert then meant you were just very, very shy and would not be the first to go up and talk to new people, but if people talked to you about something your interested in them you would talk forever and become new best friends...ahhh those were the days 😊
@@reroman3950 apparently so. This is what happens when we have 7th graders walking around with 4th grade reading comprehension skills and they get to go to the 8th grade anyway because participation trophies and parents do nothing to address the problem, whoopdeedoo.

OMG, this young man just doesn't know the gift that he has been blessed with. Your punishment is to be outside!! WE WISH WE COULD STILL GO OUTSIDE AFTER GETTING IN TROUBLE!!!
@@jodijohnson6034 I was born in the 60's....did chores( whole house) inside and outside...trimmed hedges, cut 25 acres of lawn, with a riding mower, raked leaves and after that, did our grandmother's lawn too. I'm grateful for it all, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue how life is....just saying 😊
@ssmith7003 I think it's best to learn all those things as well (even learning the hard way at times). Definitely big changes in just a decades time. Parents always try to redefine their own parents upbringing and the changes over the years are insane. I have hard working kids...and they all know how to both work and keep clean houses... It's not that my mom didn't make us do chores... it's that she wanted the house kept clean for when Dad gets home. Forever grateful. God Bless HARD loving/working parents!
That's awesome wisdom, go outside and play...,.oh the good times playing outside come back inside right before dusk eat dinner, take a bath and go to bed happy times on the weekends we got to watch TV shows wild Kingdom the magical wonderful world of Disney etc classy parenting move right there thank you for giving me a smile today and for adding a little youthfulness also 👍😁.
I had to watch it again just to make sure I heard him right when he told his son to go ding ding ditch the neighbors or something lol ain't heard that in a long time and surely ain't never heard a parent tell their kids to go do it....fucking love it
Bravo! I told my kids every time they complained about being bored that I could give them something to do, but it would always be a chore. Funny how quick they stop complaining!
My favorite saying for my bored children "You're bored? Let's build a bench!" Followed by an outside chore/craft/project 😂 too bad they don't say it anymore.
Oh the worst thing my kids or nieces and nephews could say is, “I’m bored.”! Alrighty, let’s find something for you to do! ALWAYS A CHORE! They found things to do and weren’t bored after a bit LOL.
I highly doubt he's old enough to have grown up in the 80's. Plus, kids nowadays still do it. If you've never have, you've missed out. The adrenaline, the fear. It's amazing! EDIT: Yep, he was born in 1990.
@@plumdutchess if you think there were kids doing that in the late 90s - early 2000s, you've got another thing coming. It 100% happened when we were growing up then, too. We were on the cusp of the internet culture, sure, but it was also dial-up. We needed to find things to do in between downloads considering -(especially here in Australia)- the internet speeds made it so it could take _hours_ sometimes!
I remember right before Covid in the winter I was getting off of work at night and a bunch of other college people were outside rolling up snow and making snowmen. We all collectively wanted to do something so we made a snowman that was 10 feet tall. That was the closest I felt to feeling like an actual kid in a long time and most of us where in our 20's.
Bro his kid needs friends that knows what it was like to ding dong ditch. My brother and I lived in this small neighborhood. And everyone knew it was us doing the ditching, but they knew us kids were just being kids so they would never get angry. This one old couple even offered us homemade peanut butter cookies and would take us to church. She was the sweetest woman I'll never forget her.
"Go ding dong ditch the neighbour" we got to a point where we need to encourage kids to be little menaces like that and frankly, that's a little funny XD
He really doesn't. If he wants his kid to play outside, why not buy a baseball and a couple gloves and play pass with him? He is just controlling and lowkey abusive. "FIND SOMETHING TO DO, BUT NOT THAT, OR THAT, OR THAT, OR THAT, OR THAT!"
@TheDevilslayer101 Nah, dad probably has things to do. And if you ground a kid or send them to their room etc, you don't buy something or go play with them. It's supposed to be a punishment. Do you really not understand the concept of grounding?
@@TheDevilslayer101 He only said no to one thing and that was throwing a rock at a neighbor lmao. You should learn to actually watch the videos you comment on. There is nothing wrong with this, the kid has full freedom outside to play, not everyone likes to be outside(I certainly prefer being inside) but as far as punishments go being allowed full freedom outside isn't a bad one.
I spent many days in a Mojave Desert field next to my house, playing pirate with my brother. There was a large Joshua tree downed, we pretended it was our ship. We climbed all over it. The other house next to it, lived an elderly man. He came outside one day and had made us wooden swords. I have never forgotten.
This should be an eye opener for so many parents. Make your kids go outside. I never had the choice to be inside. It was outside or no side, lol. We made up games and found friends in the neighborhood. My mom told us you better come home before the street lights come on, and if someone gets beat up, we'd all better be beat up, or it's our ass. Lol, just to watch and have eachothers backs. ❤❤❤
lol yup. Or.... You were given enough chores for 10 people. I knew better than to ever say the words I'm bored in earshot of my parents. They'd walk in with 50 things to get done. My dad was savage. I once said....I'm bored in earshot of my dad. 10 min later he had me cleaning, reorganizing, and labeling his entire garage. Which meant dealing with all his tools and such. It took me all day and no, no matter how many times I asked to quit. He refused to let me. It taught me solid follow through and how to deal with things you don't want to. But... I never said it again. lol
Heck yeah!!! If you said you were bored, it was really bad. I've dug ditches that had no reason for saying I was bored 🤣. And the taste of water from a green hose that was cut off on the end. You had to let it run for a second to cool off some. Bare feet running on gravel. Times have changed.
wtf is there to do out in the middle of car dependent suburbia. Live in a city or dense neighborhood with transit access and a bustling environment? Yes. Suburbia? No.
Good job Dad!! We need more Dads like you telling their kids to play outside, Ride his bike, roller skate, play basketball, play hopscotch, dodgeball, baseball, so much to do outside!
Those are some great ideas, unlike pops here who suggests ringing the neighbors doorbell, throw a rock through the window and bounce. Which I mean is plenty of fun too but you know..... 🤭
@@gforceforever ummm, go to a friends house maybe, ask Dad could they go get some skates, basketball, etc? There are lots of things a kid can do outside, ask Dad to with him to the park. Go fishing, go camping. Many things a child can do outside..
That's fuckin hilarious!!! This just made me think about being a 90's kid, I feel like we were the last generation that actually played outside. Yes, we had video games too, Nintendo, Sega, etc. But that always felt different. That was always more of an AFTER playing outside thing, or something to do when told you can't play outside today, or the weather was bad so you couldn't go outside an play, or a sleepover group thing, etc. It wasn't what controlled our lives. I distinctly remember, being around 6 or 7 years old, and the movie Hook had just come out. My friends and I used to "sword fight" with chopsticks, hockey sticks, whatever we felt like pretending were swords lol. Man I miss those days.

you’re not the last gen to actually play outside. media just skews it like it does to every younger generation. I was born in ‘07 and played outside everyday, and so did all of the kids in my town🤷♀️
My mom didn’t take my books away. But my punishment was having to take a break from reading to sit with the family in the living room and wait for it…. socialize. Then my mom would get tired of the disgusted look on my face and eventually allow me to go back to my room to read. While my friends were punished by being sent to their rooms to read - my punishment was forced reading breaks in front of the TV with family. The nerd in me hated it. 😢
@@interviewboss8782bro, just because you like to read and stay informed doesn't make you a nerd. Forcing your child to watch mindless dribble on TV is more like abuse than discipline. I should know, mine was a power-tripping narcissist as well plus I got beatings and the weapon used got sturdier and sturdier as I grew older and they would finally be broken over my head. The funniest was the time she broke the yard stick over my head and when I laughed she grabbed her shoe. 😂
@generaleerelativity9524 💚🩷💚I'm sorry you went thru that as a child. My Parents also DID NOT make the PUNISHMENT "FIT the Crime". They worked my Brother & I hard even tho we lived in the City.

YES!!! I support this 100%! Kids are too addicted to technology, they have NO idea how to use their imaginations anymore! Keep pushing his grounding and he will figure it out!
@@Anesthesia_YT at his age? Come on! So he should just give up, not discipline him, and let him do whatever he wants? Technology is NOT a babysitter. Kids NEED discipline, tough love, and being told NO! Society is tired of dealing with bratty kids, because the parents are too lazy and/or have given up on their children and let them do whatever they want! Dawson is already too smart for Derek! 😂 If he doesn’t find the discipline that works and follows through on it, Dawson will be running the household in 6 months! *****Raise your children, spoil your grandchildren. Spoil your children and you WILL raise your grandchildren.
@@greta8819 Hey! I never suggested that Derek should give up on his child, nor should any parent for that matter. Though, it is hardly possible to monitor your child if you ground him by sending him outside until nighttime with no access to electronics. If Dawson wants to access the internet or any electronic, he can just go to the library and essentially bypass the punishment. This has absolutely nothing to do with giving up on parenting, I just don't think that this is the way Derek should go about punishment as it is hard to enforce. Dawson is a smart individual and if he hasn't already figured out this loophole, he soon will.
@@Anesthesia_YT It’s funny that you insinuate that Derek doesn’t know where his kid is and can’t contain him to his yard or immediate area! 😂 Most parents don’t just throw there kids outside and say “go on, do whatever you want, go wherever you want, explore the town and all of the amenities! I will see you are dark and not before!” 😂 YIKES! You don’t have kids do you?
Kid just needs that adventure itch. Me and my buddy used to love going out adventuring and finding new places. We'd take our bikes and ride for miles and miles and find towns and abandoned buildings we didn't know existed we sometimes even camp out in the woods or somewhere abandoned we found for the night and continue in the morning and then after we're all adventured out and satisfied have our mom's drive for hours to come find us and pick us up worried shitless😂
@@gforceforever your argument makes no sense….So then don’t ever give “time out” because your tot will plot against you. If a child is outside long enough they will find something to do instead of just sitting there indefinitely. If you’re worried about a child sitting and coming up with ways to get their parents back, then you have bigger problems than a child that doesn’t want to play outside.
This is brilliant! You’re fostering, creativity and imagination while at the same time holding the kid accountable AND keeping him from screens for a bit- a win-win. As a Gen Xer who spent many a day outside, I highly approve. I only wish I had thought of it for my own kids, who are too old to ground now.
@@pedrosso0 😂 Just a reminder, you need healthy muscles to have good adulthood and old age. AND you cannot make new ones after 25 years old... Maybe this will motivate you to go outside a bit more. I'm an X gen. Our mothers couldn't get us inside the house. I have never been into sports, but I do have a healthy strong body at 43 yo. I went hiking last month and did 30 kilometers (up to 2300 meters above sea level) without any discomfort or pain. I never stopped moving. I don't know how you are going to keep your body standing at 50 years old if you don't use it at 15 or 20... It's just logical that it will cost you. If you don't use it, you lose it. Please reconsider 🙏 for your future self. I write this with good intentions, I promise.
@@pedrosso0God, I feel so old saying this, but back in my day, we would dig a hole, make a dirt mound, and flood it with the hose. My siblings, friends and I would make little kingdoms and invade each other. It was a lot of fun. Especially in the spring when the frogs came out and we would try to trap them in the moat.
@@pedrosso0 as someone who was an early gen-Z kid (born in 2000), there is plenty to do outside (or at least was as of 2013), my favorite thing to do when I was a kid was dig a hole (which would usually get me grounded) and daydream about digging the hole big enough to be an underground house.

Lmao. I used to get grounded by not being able to go outside. So, I adapted to video games in the 90s and then when I got grounded, I was forced to go outside. Problem was, by that time I had no friends left. So, I lived a life with online friends. Good enough. I think there needs to be a balance with grounding, and you have to really think things through.
I was put outside as well 😂 I was born in 1967 😂. I loved💕 staying in the house. First to get all the baked goods straight from the oven. Hear all the gossip from everyone in the house. Well the 70’s was the best.
Applause to daddy for giving him lessons to be creative and not just idle at home watching , relaxing and taking nap within four comfortable walls...🙏🏻🙏🏻

GOD left me something I'm very good at still.💚5.23.2024💚🩷💚
Early 1990’s this was often my punishment when grounded. I loved my Nintendo and that was one of my hobbies as a kid. That and building model cars, both required me to be indoors so getting grounded from the house during daylight was a real thing
I approve! Back in my day( The 90’s) our parents kicked us out during the summer and Man being outside as a kid was an adventure. We never ran out of things to do. Just rolling down the slight hill in my front yard was a blast.
😂😂 this sounds familiar!! When we were kids we used our imaginations and would be out til the street lights came on or our parents hollered for us to come in...this is funny 🤣🤣 love this!!
We did the same with our kids if they acted up. We never had to ground them. We were sneaky though. We taught our daughters how to do dishes, laundry and clean their rooms and bathroom. Dishes and clean room started at a young age. The rest came around 8yrs old. Our youngest was on bathroom detail one Saturday , they altered weeks, and she paused her favourite programme to clean. I waited knowing she was going to do the least amount of work on that bathroom. She came out and was sitting on the couch watching her programme within 10 minutes. I checked the bathroom and all she’d done was clean the sink and put toilet bowl cleaner in the loo! No scrubbing, just poured it in! 😂 I calmly walked to the sitting room, took the remote, turned off her show and told her to get back in that bathroom and do a proper job. The shock on her face was priceless. She didn’t argue and did a phenomenal job from that point on. She’s 24 now and still laughs at how calm I was and what a brilliant way to teach her about life.
I was forced to do chores and all it did for me was make me never want to do them as an adult. Taught me nothing. Everyone responds to parenting techniques differently. There is no one right way to raise/teach a child. I never made my son do any chores, ever. He grew up just fine.
@@funshine817 I've found it's all about the attitude with which the chores are given, and what recognition is also given for the work. I got a nearly-Cinderella experience, so I'm in a similar situation 😬 I HAAAAATE chores. But I still want to teach my kid important lessons so he still has some age-appropriate chores 🤷♀ and he gets recognition for when he does a good job without pulling teeth.️
NGL probably should have forced her to do it *before* the program came on to avoid that issue and teach her to take care of work on time so you can play Or maybe made her clean it after the show especially because you knew what was going to happen anyway so you kind of set her up there 😂
Tbh being grounded inside for me is worse even if both inside or out would have me lose electronics cause there's so much more to do outside. Biking, taking a walk, hell even doing yard work aint that bad to me now. Idk what it was that came over me this past week or so, but when youve got the tools to make a place look clean and watch that extra crap vanish, whole new feeling of happiness.
"Go ding dong ditch the neighbor. Throw a rock at something." This is the funniest video I've seen all night! Wait til I see my nephew this weekend! Bwah hahaha ha!
Tbh, I can appreciate this approach. When I was grounded, I stacked bricks. I was always grounded from staying inside because I would have rather been indoors than outdoors. The problem is that I was always given chores and labor to do as a means of keeping me outside, and instead of falling in love with being outdoors, I just hated it even more. But locking them outside and telling them to *find* something that they can do to try and have fun is kind of brilliant. It can cultivate a love for the outdoors and help them to appreciate it more than being inside. And, outdoor chores probably won't bother them nearly as much if they're already used to the feelings of discomfort by being outdoors regularly. It's an interesting concept, I think.
@nonotthatoneguy yep, did you have a military father, too? I moved the same pile of bricks I can't even count how many times. Eventually, we laid them properly, and they became a part of a walkway in my back yard for my mom as a sort of gift. It's crazy how many times you can pick up and move the same pile of crap before anyone wants to actually use it 😂
Lol, this is so perfect . I have a 14 year old and I don't get these kids these days. I never wanted to be inside, I was always gone on four-wheeler or doing bad kid stuff, lol. Having fun outside. Kids these days will never know the fun we had back in our day!
When I was a kid all I think of was riding my bike to the park everyday. One day I'll buy a bike and visit my old neighborhood just to get that feeling again.
Honestly, my dad says the same things to me, he's even said to me "go throw a rock at the neighbor's window, I'll pay for it!". Had me on the floor after that. 😂
Now that’s a good Dad. My parents used to kick us out of the house after breakfast during the summer because my sister and I drove them crazy. I grew up riding bikes, swimming, there was always a ball game at the park, paintball, skateboarding. I had a great childhood!
Many of us who were kids in the 80s have the trademark chin scar from coming off our bikes (no helmets back then), and the bobbly scars on our knees from falling over on gravel (no safety bark in the playgrounds) - all from outside play. I'm not doing a great job of selling it, but outside play with the kids on our street is a staple memory of my childhood 😂
When i was a kid i use to climb trees with my friends and talk up top , get chased by neighbors dog , go swimming on a nearby lake , ride a bike and race . Kids nowadays are so different like it's a miracle if you see one that plays outside like what it used to be .
👏👏👏This is awesome! If they only knew our childhood, they'd cry! Lmbo! CZcams? There wasn't even a cell phone yet! It's funny to hear a kid go," Huh?..no😮!" I drove a barbie car around our neighborhood and it was slow😂😂Stray cats would pass me out walking! Good parenting, Derek! Great mindset!
During the first half of my childhood in the 60s, we used to ride Big-Wheels and sometimes bicycles that had broken brakes. During the rest of my childhood during the 70's we rode homemade Go-Karts (made by some children in the neighborhoods) and roller skate as well as continuing to ride bigger bicycles that had broken brakes.

I don't think it's screen addiction. There IS nothing to do outside, you have to find something to do. If you don't have siblings or friends, then it's really difficult to have fun with just your surroundings.
It also depends on where they live. Trying to find something to do outside in a city sounds horrible.
@@DevilJhoMama yeah true. I should've taken those other points into consideration when writing the comment. I understand some people might not have the freedom to do anything outside because of lack of yard space or people to hang out with. I'm kinda in the same boat with the latter. I realized a week ago that I had forgotten to save some real life friends' numbers to my contacts when I left high school. I don't know what they're doing now and I don't know how to effectively check in on them. Hope they're doing okay in the world though.
Aside from that though, I remember how easy it was (for me) to find something to do outside. I guess it just comes down to imagination (and yard space) at that point lol.
Grounded outside is literally the best thing everrrrrrr!!! I love this
No kidding lol. When I was that age, getting grounded meant being banished to my room, and it sucked.

“You’d rather be inside so your punishment has to be outside” 😂😂 ohh that makes me sad. As a 2000s baby I grew up on the tail end of the era of playing outside and I miss it.
I was born in 70 and that's about all we did back then..we had no choice..lol..for us, grounding was just the opposite..we COULDN'T go outside..
Yeah, my dad grew up with an entire forest near his house. I'm just in a shadeless neighborhood with grumpy paranoid neighbors. It's not really the same anymore.
Epic Dad!!!! Every child who gets grounded now should be made to "play" outside. I love that he said go ding dong ditch the neighbor for all I care. 😂
An introvert's worst nightmare
Edit: hot damn, did not ever think I would start a whole war-
Fair enough xD I'm an Ambivert so I don't care where I am
Absolutely not true. Most introverts love to be alone, so being outside alone is perfect.
I’m an introvert and spent most of my childhood outdoors.
That's bull...
There's many studies how especially shorts are ruining people's concentration, kid just proves it
This is a phone/computer addicts worst nightnare, introverts dont care about wheter they are inside or outside but wheter there is people
When I was a kid, being grounded was taking my books away. I was maaaaaad lol
Saame , they realized I would rather be reading than anything else, so they took that from me instead, still. Big fan of Clive barker and Stephen King or (Richard bachman)
Totally can relate. Books make me happy. My mom threw one out the window while driving because I ignored her venting!!
omg, are you 80?
When I was grounded it was holding textbooks in a t pose
Same here
Hah this is what my brother needs. I mean my dad tried it once but did it on a really hot day so we just chilled in the shade complaining until he let us in to cool down. (To he fair he was mowing the lawn the whole time! He was out for even longer than we were.)
Genius father!! I commend him, more kids need to be outside and using their f-Ing imaginations!!!!! Praise this man!!!!
Literally an introvert's worst nightmare 😂
Not really. I’m an introvert and I love doing stuff outside. Just not with people since that’s draining. I can handle someone saying “hi”. I can’t handle an hour or two with a random person i don’t know coming up to me out of nowhere.
Introvert is being socially awkward, it has nothing to do with touching grass. Has society forgotten the definition of the word?
As an introvert I have absolutely no problem to be outside the most referable is a long silent walk trough a park I can pop in the headphones and just chill there alone in nature breathing fresh air and absorbing some sunlight undisturbed
@@reroman3950 when I grew up in the 80's introvert then meant you were just very, very shy and would not be the first to go up and talk to new people, but if people talked to you about something your interested in them you would talk forever and become new best friends...ahhh those were the days 😊

@@jodijohnson6034 I was born in the 60's....did chores( whole house) inside and outside...trimmed hedges, cut 25 acres of lawn, with a riding mower, raked leaves and after that, did our grandmother's lawn too. I'm grateful for it all, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue how life is....just saying 😊
@ssmith7003 I think it's best to learn all those things as well (even learning the hard way at times). Definitely big changes in just a decades time. Parents always try to redefine their own parents upbringing and the changes over the years are insane. I have hard working kids...and they all know how to both work and keep clean houses...
It's not that my mom didn't make us do chores... it's that she wanted the house kept clean for when Dad gets home.
Forever grateful.
God Bless HARD loving/working parents!
That's awesome wisdom, go outside and play...,.oh the good times playing outside come back inside right before dusk eat dinner, take a bath and go to bed happy times on the weekends we got to watch TV shows wild Kingdom the magical wonderful world of Disney etc classy parenting move right there thank you for giving me a smile today and for adding a little youthfulness also 👍😁.
I had to watch it again just to make sure I heard him right when he told his son to go ding ding ditch the neighbors or something lol ain't heard that in a long time and surely ain't never heard a parent tell their kids to go do it....fucking love it
Bravo! I told my kids every time they complained about being bored that I could give them something to do, but it would always be a chore. Funny how quick they stop complaining!
My favorite saying for my bored children
"You're bored? Let's build a bench!" Followed by an outside chore/craft/project
😂 too bad they don't say it anymore.
My dad lol. I stopped saying I was bored.
They're still bored and suffering from boredom
They just won't tell you about it (and will try to solve it on their own)
LITERALLY my mom's words!!
I have so many hobbies now lol
Oh the worst thing my kids or nieces and nephews could say is, “I’m bored.”! Alrighty, let’s find something for you to do! ALWAYS A CHORE! They found things to do and weren’t bored after a bit LOL.
“Ding Dong Ditch The neighbor or something “ he really grew up in the 80’s😂
I highly doubt he's old enough to have grown up in the 80's. Plus, kids nowadays still do it. If you've never have, you've missed out. The adrenaline, the fear. It's amazing!
EDIT: Yep, he was born in 1990.
@@plumdutchess if you think there were kids doing that in the late 90s - early 2000s, you've got another thing coming.
It 100% happened when we were growing up then, too. We were on the cusp of the internet culture, sure, but it was also dial-up.
We needed to find things to do in between downloads considering -(especially here in Australia)- the internet speeds made it so it could take _hours_ sometimes!

I remember right before Covid in the winter I was getting off of work at night and a bunch of other college people were outside rolling up snow and making snowmen. We all collectively wanted to do something so we made a snowman that was 10 feet tall. That was the closest I felt to feeling like an actual kid in a long time and most of us where in our 20's.
This dad is a good father! Doin the absolute best thing he can for that boy
Bro his kid needs friends that knows what it was like to ding dong ditch. My brother and I lived in this small neighborhood. And everyone knew it was us doing the ditching, but they knew us kids were just being kids so they would never get angry. This one old couple even offered us homemade peanut butter cookies and would take us to church. She was the sweetest woman I'll never forget her.
That's really cool of them to not get mad at you for it
@@schm147 Yea, if they were busy they would let us know and we would stop bothering them. We just had fun playing around and being kids
GOOD!! More dad's need to be like you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Nah dads should show their kids stuff to do outside that they want to go out to play
It's fake
Disagree! We need parents to raise their children to enjoy and learn that being outdoors is not a punishment but a privilege.

"Go ding dong ditch the neighbour" we got to a point where we need to encourage kids to be little menaces like that and frankly, that's a little funny XD
This guy seems like a good dad
He really doesn't. If he wants his kid to play outside, why not buy a baseball and a couple gloves and play pass with him? He is just controlling and lowkey abusive. "FIND SOMETHING TO DO, BUT NOT THAT, OR THAT, OR THAT, OR THAT, OR THAT!"
@TheDevilslayer101 Nah, dad probably has things to do. And if you ground a kid or send them to their room etc, you don't buy something or go play with them. It's supposed to be a punishment.
Do you really not understand the concept of grounding?
@@TheDevilslayer101 He only said no to one thing and that was throwing a rock at a neighbor lmao. You should learn to actually watch the videos you comment on.
There is nothing wrong with this, the kid has full freedom outside to play, not everyone likes to be outside(I certainly prefer being inside) but as far as punishments go being allowed full freedom outside isn't a bad one.
@@TheDevilslayer101Bruh
This dad has given us all hope for humanity yet 🙏 😊
I spent many days in a Mojave Desert field next to my house, playing pirate with my brother. There was a large Joshua tree downed, we pretended it was our ship. We climbed all over it. The other house next to it, lived an elderly man. He came outside one day and had made us wooden swords. I have never forgotten.
Ding dong ditching your neighbors was probably the funniest thing ever said in this CZcams short
This should be an eye opener for so many parents. Make your kids go outside. I never had the choice to be inside. It was outside or no side, lol. We made up games and found friends in the neighborhood. My mom told us you better come home before the street lights come on, and if someone gets beat up, we'd all better be beat up, or it's our ass. Lol, just to watch and have eachothers backs. ❤❤❤
lol yup.
Or....
You were given enough chores for 10 people.
I knew better than to ever say the words I'm bored in earshot of my parents.
They'd walk in with 50 things to get done.
My dad was savage.
I once said....I'm bored in earshot of my dad.
10 min later he had me cleaning, reorganizing, and labeling his entire garage.
Which meant dealing with all his tools and such.
It took me all day and no, no matter how many times I asked to quit. He refused to let me.
It taught me solid follow through and how to deal with things you don't want to.
But...
I never said it again. lol
Heck yeah!!! If you said you were bored, it was really bad. I've dug ditches that had no reason for saying I was bored 🤣. And the taste of water from a green hose that was cut off on the end. You had to let it run for a second to cool off some. Bare feet running on gravel. Times have changed.
Ironically it's called 'grounding'.
Take your shoes off, feel the grass, the mother earth, get 'grounded' 😌🤌🙏🙌
But the problem nowadays is that most of the other kids also want to stay inside, so it's probably way harder to find another kid to play with.
wtf is there to do out in the middle of car dependent suburbia. Live in a city or dense neighborhood with transit access and a bustling environment? Yes. Suburbia? No.
Good job Dad!! We need more Dads like you telling their kids to play outside, Ride his bike, roller skate, play basketball, play hopscotch, dodgeball, baseball, so much to do outside!

That's fuckin hilarious!!! This just made me think about being a 90's kid, I feel like we were the last generation that actually played outside. Yes, we had video games too, Nintendo, Sega, etc. But that always felt different. That was always more of an AFTER playing outside thing, or something to do when told you can't play outside today, or the weather was bad so you couldn't go outside an play, or a sleepover group thing, etc. It wasn't what controlled our lives.
I distinctly remember, being around 6 or 7 years old, and the movie Hook had just come out. My friends and I used to "sword fight" with chopsticks, hockey sticks, whatever we felt like pretending were swords lol. Man I miss those days.

My mom didn’t take my books away. But my punishment was having to take a break from reading to sit with the family in the living room and wait for it…. socialize. Then my mom would get tired of the disgusted look on my face and eventually allow me to go back to my room to read. While my friends were punished by being sent to their rooms to read - my punishment was forced reading breaks in front of the TV with family. The nerd in me hated it. 😢
@@interviewboss8782 good on your mom, sounds like she found the perfect punishment for you. 😅

@@greta8819 Hey! I never suggested that Derek should give up on his child, nor should any parent for that matter. Though, it is hardly possible to monitor your child if you ground him by sending him outside until nighttime with no access to electronics. If Dawson wants to access the internet or any electronic, he can just go to the library and essentially bypass the punishment. This has absolutely nothing to do with giving up on parenting, I just don't think that this is the way Derek should go about punishment as it is hard to enforce. Dawson is a smart individual and if he hasn't already figured out this loophole, he soon will.
@@Anesthesia_YT It’s funny that you insinuate that Derek doesn’t know where his kid is and can’t contain him to his yard or immediate area! 😂 Most parents don’t just throw there kids outside and say “go on, do whatever you want, go wherever you want, explore the town and all of the amenities! I will see you are dark and not before!” 😂 YIKES! You don’t have kids do you?

You can't force a child to play. The child might simply sit and think of ways to pay their parent(s) back.
@@gforceforever your argument makes no sense….So then don’t ever give “time out” because your tot will plot against you.

I love the "ding dong ditch the neighbor "! 😆 I remember not wanting to be inside all day. So true about most of today's kids.
Lmao. I used to get grounded by not being able to go outside. So, I adapted to video games in the 90s and then when I got grounded, I was forced to go outside. Problem was, by that time I had no friends left. So, I lived a life with online friends. Good enough. I think there needs to be a balance with grounding, and you have to really think things through.
“Go do crime, son. You’re too good for my own good.”

The dad is teaching him how to be a normal kid. Good for him
Early 1990’s this was often my punishment when grounded. I loved my Nintendo and that was one of my hobbies as a kid. That and building model cars, both required me to be indoors so getting grounded from the house during daylight was a real thing
I approve! Back in my day( The 90’s) our parents kicked us out during the summer and Man being outside as a kid was an adventure. We never ran out of things to do. Just rolling down the slight hill in my front yard was a blast.
“Watch CZcams shorts and take a nap” lmao same kid, same 😂
As a dad now, I cannot stop laughing this shit is hilarious hahahaha 🤣
😂😂 this sounds familiar!! When we were kids we used our imaginations and would be out til the street lights came on or our parents hollered for us to come in...this is funny 🤣🤣 love this!!
We did the same with our kids if they acted up. We never had to ground them. We were sneaky though. We taught our daughters how to do dishes, laundry and clean their rooms and bathroom. Dishes and clean room started at a young age. The rest came around 8yrs old. Our youngest was on bathroom detail one Saturday , they altered weeks, and she paused her favourite programme to clean. I waited knowing she was going to do the least amount of work on that bathroom. She came out and was sitting on the couch watching her programme within 10 minutes. I checked the bathroom and all she’d done was clean the sink and put toilet bowl cleaner in the loo! No scrubbing, just poured it in! 😂 I calmly walked to the sitting room, took the remote, turned off her show and told her to get back in that bathroom and do a proper job. The shock on her face was priceless. She didn’t argue and did a phenomenal job from that point on. She’s 24 now and still laughs at how calm I was and what a brilliant way to teach her about life.
My mom did the same thing, lol. I used to hate it but now I'm grateful because chores don't feel so daunting!
me: "MOM IM LETTING THE CLEANER SOAK IN THE TOILET!!" lol
I was forced to do chores and all it did for me was make me never want to do them as an adult. Taught me nothing. Everyone responds to parenting techniques differently. There is no one right way to raise/teach a child. I never made my son do any chores, ever. He grew up just fine.
@@funshine817
I've found it's all about the attitude with which the chores are given, and what recognition is also given for the work.
I got a nearly-Cinderella experience, so I'm in a similar situation 😬 I HAAAAATE chores. But I still want to teach my kid important lessons so he still has some age-appropriate chores 🤷♀ and he gets recognition for when he does a good job without pulling teeth.️
NGL probably should have forced her to do it *before* the program came on to avoid that issue and teach her to take care of work on time so you can play
Or maybe made her clean it after the show especially because you knew what was going to happen anyway so you kind of set her up there 😂
😂😂😂😂. This is hilarious! I love it. Great parenting!
Tbh being grounded inside for me is worse even if both inside or out would have me lose electronics cause there's so much more to do outside. Biking, taking a walk, hell even doing yard work aint that bad to me now. Idk what it was that came over me this past week or so, but when youve got the tools to make a place look clean and watch that extra crap vanish, whole new feeling of happiness.
I would sit outside and contemplate life. The need to entertain myself led to some real philosophical thoughts

Tbh, I can appreciate this approach. When I was grounded, I stacked bricks. I was always grounded from staying inside because I would have rather been indoors than outdoors. The problem is that I was always given chores and labor to do as a means of keeping me outside, and instead of falling in love with being outdoors, I just hated it even more.
But locking them outside and telling them to *find* something that they can do to try and have fun is kind of brilliant. It can cultivate a love for the outdoors and help them to appreciate it more than being inside. And, outdoor chores probably won't bother them nearly as much if they're already used to the feelings of discomfort by being outdoors regularly. It's an interesting concept, I think.
I had to stack 2 ricks of firewood. Then, move and stack it somewhere else. Then, move and stack it in a third place.
@@nonotthatoneguy reminds me of the military
@nonotthatoneguy yep, did you have a military father, too? I moved the same pile of bricks I can't even count how many times. Eventually, we laid them properly, and they became a part of a walkway in my back yard for my mom as a sort of gift. It's crazy how many times you can pick up and move the same pile of crap before anyone wants to actually use it 😂
Lol, this is so perfect . I have a 14 year old and I don't get these kids these days. I never wanted to be inside, I was always gone on four-wheeler or doing bad kid stuff, lol. Having fun outside. Kids these days will never know the fun we had back in our day!
When I was a kid all I think of was riding my bike to the park everyday. One day I'll buy a bike and visit my old neighborhood just to get that feeling again.
Honestly, my dad says the same things to me, he's even said to me "go throw a rock at the neighbor's window, I'll pay for it!". Had me on the floor after that. 😂
Now that’s a good Dad. My parents used to kick us out of the house after breakfast during the summer because my sister and I drove them crazy.
I grew up riding bikes, swimming, there was always a ball game at the park, paintball, skateboarding. I had a great childhood!
Bikes. Hose water. Forts. Hide and seek. Tag. Catch. Finding four leaf clovers. Playing with bugs. Being a kid is such a quick experience. I miss it 😢
You can’t come back in until the street lights come on! 😂
Many of us who were kids in the 80s have the trademark chin scar from coming off our bikes (no helmets back then), and the bobbly scars on our knees from falling over on gravel (no safety bark in the playgrounds) - all from outside play. I'm not doing a great job of selling it, but outside play with the kids on our street is a staple memory of my childhood 😂
“it’s different for you bc you’d rather be inside” literally me 😭 this would’ve been the absolute worst punishment for me lol
When Derek told Dawson he was grounded he meant literally 😂😂
lol 😆 good for you dad. Teaching our children is important.
When i was a kid i use to climb trees with my friends and talk up top , get chased by neighbors dog , go swimming on a nearby lake , ride a bike and race . Kids nowadays are so different like it's a miracle if you see one that plays outside like what it used to be .
👏👏👏This is awesome! If they only knew our childhood, they'd cry! Lmbo! CZcams? There wasn't even a cell phone yet! It's funny to hear a kid go," Huh?..no😮!" I drove a barbie car around our neighborhood and it was slow😂😂Stray cats would pass me out walking! Good parenting, Derek! Great mindset!
During the first half of my childhood in the 60s,
we used to ride Big-Wheels and sometimes bicycles that had broken brakes.
During the rest of my childhood during the 70's we rode homemade Go-Karts (made by some children in the neighborhoods) and roller skate as well as continuing to ride bigger bicycles that had broken brakes.

We’re here youngster… but only comment on subjects we feel strongly about. 😂
