Baby in oven. Heath?

I know its harmless but that would freak me out. No bueno.

It's a little bit funny...I feel like a jerk admitting it, but I giggled a bit.

Sometimes I think I'm broken, because this doesn't really bother me. It's obviously a joke. But I'm also not a parent. But then again, there are sickos in this world who have for real put babies in ovens/micowaves, and that makes it significantly less funny.

While I can see the humor in the idea behind the picture, this was the FIRST TIME these brand new parents left their baby with Grandpa. WTF was he thinking? This is not the way to ease their minds about leaving their baby with him.

Obviously he wasn't going to hurt the baby, but holy shitty judgement. And THAT is what would worry me.

Eye to eye Imoan.
Unless the house is know to have poltergeists or something

That was pretty funny!

I love you for the poltergeist comment. LMFAO!

My take is that he did it because it was the first time they left the baby and were so nervous about it, kind of making fun of them (with love) for their anxiety and thinking it would be hilarious. Did it say the parents were upset about it? Or did other people who saw the pic get upset and kind of run with it?

Because this was the very first time they'd left their brand new baby with him (or anyone, it appears). It might have been funny if they had already left the baby with him and didnt have all those "OMG, we've never been away from this tiny, helpless creature" feelings that almost all parents of newborns (esp. first borns) have.

The shitty judgment was that grandpa didnt take into account that they were still developing that trust with him where he was proving to them that he was a capable, level headed caretaker.

Crap, I'm so behind the times.

Me too, and unless the oven could turn on magically and heat up to 350 degrees in a matter of seconds while simultaneously locking the oven door, I don't see the big deal.

Shocker that this turned into being about "smug laidbackness". God forbid that some people just thought it was funny.

Toledo, I mean we got the memo years ago that you're always right and people who disagree with you are just brainless morons. But does it ever get old having to constantly revisit it?

Babies are not toys!

I don't know. Like I said, I'm all pearl clutchy. RESPECT YOUR GRANDCHILD ASSHOLE. And have super high anxiety about ovens.

My parents know me well enough not to make that kind of joke. They know they would die when I got back.

Sometimes WITH REASON. Hello, who hasn't heard "You rode on my lap in the car and were fine" "This baby would sleep better on his belly" and my personal favorite "Try dipping the paci in honey, then he will take it".

Sometimes it is a miracle that we survived with those 70s parents, lol
