DD1 has watched all the variations a million times and still love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671730 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 22:14:17 +0000 maddyz 2671730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: DS is currently obsessed with "elmos got the moves" arg................... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671722 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 22:04:25 +0000 Mama Bird 2671722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: that video is so weird and funny! Incidentally DS watched it a while back, liked it, but did NOT ask to watch it over and over on repeat. Why is it only the really awful stuff that's addictive? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671712 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 21:53:27 +0000 maddyz 2671712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>finger family is really weird... DS hasn't found that yet. I did set him up watching a 45 minute version of the muppets Manamana video. I think that rewired his brain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671658 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 21:05:18 +0000 mediagirl 2671658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, we didn't have audio on for the videos. Maybe that will save me? She actually asked me to turn them off after I posted this </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671648 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 20:51:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2671648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@reyorra: just two hour long montages of finger family videos. It's insane. </p> <p>Lucky for me she never watched a blind bag so we didn't have to deal with that. I think she once saw a surprise egg one but just asked for more family fingers anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671645 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 20:47:53 +0000 reyorra 2671645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: why are there so many finger family songs?? I've had to flat out tell my daughter "no finger family". She now has to ask before each video if she can watch it. She is also very into the blind bag and surprise egg videos, and I just don't understand how adults can spend hours of their lives CREATING these videos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671580 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 19:13:51 +0000 AprilFool 2671580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: that song was all I heard around here for months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671557 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 18:22:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 2671557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: daddy finger, daddy finger, where are you?...</p> <p>We had to cut out YouTube entirely. It's all dh's fault too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671536 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 17:21:18 +0000 MrsRoo 2671536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: that's actually true. We tried to cure the obsession by deleting YouTube off all our devices. It's toned the obsession down a bit, but she still goes nuts for blind bags and surprise eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671515 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 16:42:46 +0000 mediagirl 2671515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: hahaha!! The only known solution! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671513 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 16:42:17 +0000 mrbee 2671513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Haha, my daughter used to love those videos too! We were only able to fix it by moving to a country where the internet doesn't work all that well. I googled it, and that's the only known solution to blind bag videos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-pretty-sure-i-just-made-a-huge-mistake#post-2671510 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 16:38:13 +0000 mediagirl 2671510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my daughter watch a blind bag YouTube video. What. Was. I. Thinking. </p> <p>Can we talk about her reaction for a second? "Wow." "Wow, I want to see what's inside there." "Oh, Lion King!!" "WOW!" "Oooo Princess Amber, Lion King, so many great things."</p> <p>Has your child ever watched these videos? Are they obsessed? I had my daughter at work with me today and was desperate for something, anything to entertain her. Maybe I should have just left Netflix on...hahaha. </p>
