My brother used to balance his kids up in the air with one hand, singing out "March of the Gladiators" as he did. They love it!
Only accident I've witnessed was when the father was a). intoxicated and b). around a lot of obstacles that could be easily tripped over (someone else caught the baby, don't worry). Worst wedding I've ever attended.
If you're sober, not a moron, and in an open space, try it out! (assuming your child has hit the phase where they can easily support their own head & neck, of course).
No, the baby in the first picture is implied to be the adult in the second picture, and the baby in the second picture (OP) is implied to be the adult in the third picture.
It took me a minute to parse too. There are four generations pictured, but only three generations of worried wives. OP's baby in the last panel is unmarried.
It's a sentence fragment, so it can't be assessed for case. The full sentence could be "this is my dad and me" or "my dad and I have this tradition".
Besides, it's long been shown that with two or more pronouns in coordination (ie connecting pronouns with "and"), natives often use a different pronoun than they would with just a single one. It's probably still not widely acceptable in formal contexts, but in informal text many people wouldn't bat an eye. It may even be more acceptable in certain dialects than the formal prescribed grammar.
like seriously when it comes to safety, if you saw somebody else doing that with your child, you would probably punch them in the throat after the child came down. the fuck is wrong with people
*lol it's shocking the number of dads who are saying they'd be cool with you tossing their baby around. you're all bad people. "I would do literally anything to protect my child" okay how about you don't juggle them "fuck you buddy" lol what a bunch of angry man babies
I used to "body slam" my niece and nephew into the couch all the time (not actually at full speed of course). Give them the 'ol peoples elbow. They really do get a kick out of some rough housing.
you've never watched somebody set up for this shot? it's not a balancing act, it's a toss with the photo snapped at the apex. so yes, you did learn something today
As long as the baby has control of their head and neck & isn't a squirmy worm, it's usually fine! You're not leaving them up on a ledge alone or anything— you're literally holding them.
It's okay if folks don't want to risk it with their kids due to their own preferences & trust in their strength and/or the child's temperament. I used to do it when my kid was tiny! But I get if people don't feel comfortable doing it with their own kids.
There's a higher risk of your baby injured in a car accident, tbh.
