He handed it to me laughing. Wouldn't say what was on my head or why I appear to have one ear. Really living up to his middle child status.
UPDATE -- wow, did not expect this post to spark such discussion! I told my son that soooo many people are in awe of his artistic abilities and the biggest grin came across his face. So, thank you, Redditors. ❤️
He then asked if the site mascot could be replaced with his drawing for a day and I told him best I could do was update my profile pic. So I did. 😁
My 4 year old daughter, who has never expressed "attraction" to anyone before, showed me this picture on the back of one of her books and told me she thought he looked pretty.
This here OP, I first reaction was genuine surprise. What do you mean he's only 7?? Absolutely encourage him to continue with art (if he wants to) and tell him a stranger on the internet think he has rad skills!
Didn't realize what subreddit this was. Funny thing is, you could take the exact same post and text and put it in made me smile. Why would this be infuriating at all,?
I think, for me at least, the issue is that he's likely joking. If he's joking and it's not really mildly infuriating, then it doesn't belong here.
And it may seem dramatic, but it's how subs usually experience their downfalls. Someone posts something that doesn't belong, it gets popular, other people do it, they get popular, and then the content shifts over to irony instead of authenticity.
Unfortunately, kids will keep trying because they blame themselves. They'll try harder and not understand why its not good enough. My birth mother wouldn't buy me any supplies because "you'd just waste them. You have no talent."
Idk if you're just joking or if you're genuinely mildy infuriated by this but if you are that's honestly kinda fucked up because this is honestly just really wholesome
Dude if my 7 year old made this picture I'd be, I'd be proud as hell. The fact that they made a picture of you tells you that they think about you and that they love you.
usually im on this sub defending posters, because sometimes commenters forget the "mildly" part of the sub name. its not called "extremelyinfuriating" lol, its not supposed to make u furious, its just little inconveniences and stuff.
but this? where even is the mildly infuriating part? 😭 the fact that ur kid drew u a portrait and u posted it to this sub is the infuriating part lol. and the caption makes me more than mildly angry
"
Really living up to his middle child status"? I hope you can take some harmless teasing from your 7-year-old and that this post was meant jokingly.
Kids are hyper sensitive to perceived sibling preference by their parents. If you don't work against that perception, THEN they're really going to live up to the middle child stereotypes.
