Entitled much? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1205550 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:23:05 +0000 wonderstruck 1205550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Hahaha yes I thought that one was hilarious. Also the, "But you don't even have a gall bladder!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1205230 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 16:50:42 +0000 shinymama 1205230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: it made me think that she's one of the only ones in the montage that is being raised right. And yes to the handing of ass as well! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1205142 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 16:01:35 +0000 doodlepoodle 1205142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shinymama: haha! Right?! "Do you want to finish your cereal?"And "yes, *gasp please"</p> <p>I know I would have gotten my ass HANDED to me if I treated my parents like that. And Jake will be raised with the same fear. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1204981 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:36:03 +0000 swurlygurl 1204981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the videos for the most part. I also would NOT be sending in the video if my kid had a violent response...<br /> Anyone else crack up at the girl who called her mom fat? She said it so matter-of-factly, not really trying to be mean... haha</p> <p>@Mrsbells: did you see the Christmas gift one where the mom had two REALLY polite children? The boy actually liked his lame gift (forget what it was, wasn't the worst though), and the girl got a half eaten sandwich, but was still decently nice about it? Parenting WIN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1204917 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:12:11 +0000 shinymama 1204917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was hilarious, although the little girl who said it was OK through tears made me want to cry, and the one who cursed made me shake my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1204872 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:01:55 +0000 JessKas 1204872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty funny. My husband and I still joke about the kids from the first year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1204155 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:04:33 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1204155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: This! I would WAY too embarrassed to promote my bad parenting... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1204036 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:22:52 +0000 littlebug 1204036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're hysterical, but I agree with a lot of PPs about the reactions of some of the kids. I think the kids who say, "It's alright" are so sweet, and the ones who cry and whine? C'mon, I'd cry and whine, too, if someone took all my Halloween candy! But some of their reactions are a bit scary. I definitely agree with @wonderstruck: that you just have to know your kid. And if he reacts by punching a wall (one kid did this the first year Jimmy Kimmel issued this challenge), maybe look into some counseling! Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1203986 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:08:45 +0000 wonderstruck 1203986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was torn and agree with what most of you have said - I wanted to hug the poor little girl who wanted to finish her cereal and immediately tell her it wasn't true, not give the candy back to the kid who started kicking the car and totally losing it, and laughed even though I knew I shouldn't at the girl who knows how to properly use the word b****. I was also pretty amused by the little girl who wanted to know why her mom does this to her every Halloween. Oh, and I love the kid who just said okay and the little brother who was just copying the older one but ends up giving the thumbs up.</p> <p>On the other hand, the kids who just cried and got really upset (like the 'that isn't very kind') made me sad. I think you kind of have to just know your kid's personality - I have a 4 year old nephew who is super dramatic who loves jokes and says just kidding all the time. I wouldn't feel bad pulling a joke on him for a few minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1203759 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 04:01:22 +0000 KOzsari 1203759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was awesome. Wouldn't do it myself, but I don't judge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1203636 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 00:17:00 +0000 birdofafeather 1203636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty funny except for the kids who react violently. That freaks me out. I understand the upset kids who are crying though. I would be sad too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1202293 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:25:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1202293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I loved the cereal girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1202249 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:14:13 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1202249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was awesome. I love it every year. But I keep in mind that it is a joke...can't read too much into the parenting since it is an out-of-the-ordinary situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1202248 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:14:10 +0000 Beebug 1202248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: I could never do it. I would either be laughing hysterically and/or crying, there is no way it would work out to be funny or worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1202244 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:13:25 +0000 edelweiss 1202244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i thought most of it was pretty funny, with a few exceptions. @bpcmarj: this one broke my heart. so did the little boy who just said "it's okay".</p> <p>i don't think i would feel comfortable playing this trick on my LO, but probably because i would be scared that i'd get a really bratty reaction that would make me all disappointed in my parenting skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1202215 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:07:32 +0000 Beebug 1202215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aside from the last one, LOVE it. I love seeing this each year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1202195 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:02:14 +0000 Honeybee 1202195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like it, but then again, practical jokes just are not my sense of humor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1202136 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:53:15 +0000 bpcmarj 1202136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: this girl made DH and I sad. She was SO sweet. The other kids were entitled little hellions. But her "Can I go eat my cereal?" Then just quietly sobbed...poor girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201994 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:21:02 +0000 JoJoGirl 1201994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: YES!!! I was glad to see the one girl who was sobbing hysterically and telling her mom "It's okay! It's okay!" - a little humility, children.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201985 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:18:10 +0000 jmarionsmith 1201985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it's hilarious. nothing like a good prank! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201965 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:12:13 +0000 meredithNYC 1201965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought most of them were funny, but a few were a little out there. Honestly, if I had pulled this prank and LO reacted by violently kicking or throwing something, I would definitely NOT be sending that evidence into national media. I would be too embarrassed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201958 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:09:59 +0000 BabyMats 1201958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: @.twist.: I thought it was pretty funny too. I just didn't like the kid that was kicking the car like crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201942 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:05:02 +0000 Mamaof2 1201942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201936 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:03:04 +0000 Dandelion 1201936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: Yes! DS puts his candy in a drawer in the kitchen, and we all eat what we like. When it's gone, it's gone. We refill the drawer with candy all the time, anyways, though, so candy isn't something that is foreign. I allow it in moderation...mostly to avoid this type of reaction about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201915 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:56:01 +0000 .twist. 1201915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yes! This exactly. </p> <p>I thought. It was hilarious and I don't see anything wrong with some innocent humour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201846 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:38:06 +0000 blackbird 1201846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was hilarious and disturbing. Some of those kids? oh my gosh. Threatening to kick your mom? Calling her a bitch? Come on now. </p> <p>And then I remember that it's all about candy and just go "sigh" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201802 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:27:51 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1201802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: that totally bugs me too! I like watching the kids that handle it gracefully. I feel better knowing some parents have raised their kids well, and then I remember those same parents are putting their kids on the Internet/TV so the world can laugh at them. And I feel sad all over again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201797 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:26:53 +0000 Boheme 1201797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: Yes, what you said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank#post-1201793 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:25:52 +0000 Beyond2 1201793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually have a harder time with these children's coping techniques... The entitlement that so many of these kids have is sad to me. Growing up our Halloween candy was shared with everyone in the house. If it was eaten by our parents, too bad. They certainly wouldn't stand for us pitching a fit like that! </p>
