Helicopter Mom literally calls Child’s name 700 times while we don’t even know Free spirit mom kid’s name 😂

[@ladennayoung2939]

Lol. True.

[@soupdancer17]

The constant closing of the cardigan & pet names for Jack kill me!

"41st day of school" is like the moms who call their children my 34 month old. 😂

[@karenk2409]

O Lord, we kindergarten teachers know them well. These poor kids have the worst separation anxiety while Free Sprit kids are making new friends. Dear Moms: Your kids going to kindergarten is not a tragedy.

[@meganpender]

In the calmest, least concerned voice ever: "What did he break his leg?" 🤣🤣🤣

LOLL

[@Jessica_Bennett]

I was a helicopter parent at first, but 4 kids in and I'm full on free spirit mom 😂😂😂

[@rachele3334]

Haha same

[@taliasega9982]

Same. 😂

[@alicehaslonghair]

Same. And SO JUDGEMENTAL as a new mom too! Glad I grew out of that!

[@lauraochoa228]

Yep. Those little nose miners just grind that right outta you, don't they?! 😂

[@emrac377]

The natural progression of things 😂

[@carolyn4500]

As a helicopter mom, Jake, you were making me very nervous climbing all over that play set!!! Sit down and have a juice immediately.

[@karenleekeeton3136]

😂

[@wtfworld8250]

Juice, what are you offering my child! He old drinks the finest of spring water from a porcelain sippy cup.

[@nikereebokpuma3406]

Love Helicopter Moms!

[@illillyillyo]

@@wtfworld8250 actually, sippy cups are bad for kids because they hinder the transition of swallowing methods from a nipple to a cup, so a helicopter mom who is up to date with such information would never let her child use a sippy cup. If I learned anything from my pediatrics disorders graduate course, it’s that kids shouldn’t use sippy cups.

[@karenk2409]

Like a mimosa juice ... or a bloody mary juice ... calm down!

[@meganpender]

Jake frantically climbing all over the play set 🤣

[@evirgil84]

Jake as the Helicopter mom was hilarious! 👏🏻 I’m absolutely the other one - sitting in the car during kids’ practice to listen to Ghostrunner’s Podcast is the way a veteran mom does it. 🤣 You should do a veteran parent vs new parent. 🤣

[@glamgal28]

yes that would be good

[@Mama_Bear524]

Same. I wasn’t even that helicopter as a first time mom. I can’t stand the parents who follow their fully capable kids onto the jungle gyms. 1. They’re creating more wear and tear on it making them ruin faster. Thx. 2. They intimidate other kids who want to play with their kid. My son barely ever had other kids to play with because of them. It’s mean both for my kid and theirs.

[@bucketofsunshine6366]

Haha I've always been pretty laid back in the parenting department but these days, now that my youngest is nearly 8, I'm definitely vibing with free spirit mom. I mean, I'll get out of the car to watch the games and all, but who needs to watch every practice too? Haha I suppose I also probably sound slightly more concerned about the whole potentially broken leg thing, but only a little 🤣

[@MoralGovernment]

@@Mama_Bear524 I know, right! I wish they would just let their kids play with other kids without it being a whole thing! It's going to give their kids anxiety to literally never do anything without their parents helping them. And 1 time a lady freaked out and started screaming "Who's baby is this?" like my kid was a grave danger. She's so climbing, chill, she's never fallen.

[@samanthanorton4538]

@@Mama_Bear524 I don't know, AI liked playing on the jungle gyms with my kids. Half the benefit of having children is you get to do that stuff again without it being weird

[@StephanieJeanne]

Love that helicopter sound for that mom. Climbing on the slide was hilarious! I think my mom was more a hybrid of these two, tho she leaned more toward the non-helicopter mom for my siblings, and helicopter for me, the sensitive kid.. 😜😂

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

Sooo good!

[@jessicacallaghan8082]

My mom managed a solid hybrid of the two. She was somehow constantly volunteering at my school without me actually knowing where she was. It was honestly great, she was never breathing down my neck or getting in the middle of my friends' conversations (unless we needed someone to settle a debate, then my friends actually went looking for her), but if I ever needed a band-aid or a pad or something I could just text her and BOOM she was right there

[@haleylewis9587]

The helicopter sounds were gold

[@AskAgainL8ter]

It totally reminded me of the end of ‘Annie’. Love that movie!

[@missycl9200]

It was everything 🤣🤣🤣

[@N1KK1Zify]

It's the parkour while saying "Jack" over and over for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ryanalynnpeterson6155]

The evolution of this child’s name 🤣 my little Jack Russell Terrier 🤣🤣🤣

[@ryanalynnpeterson6155]

Plot twist, their “child” IS a jack russell terrier 😂

[@adriacox1233]

When “Brad” is talking to “Michelle” on the phone, you definitely need to have him telling her about the crazy helicopter parent climbing on the playground equipment. 😂

[@stacyross3950]

This could’ve been first child vs second child for me 😂

[@AthenaIsabella]

Lol!! I see it now it fits perfect

[@karenk2409]

That is how it works for most of us!

[@tiffanilee8972]

Jake’s physical comedy on the playground had me laughing out loud. And Brad’s surprise at the kid actually knowing his colors is so accurate. 😂

[@angelabirdwell3396]

I kept waiting for Jake to climb to the very top of the play set to perch up there 🤣

[@sarahmarrufo2542]

The nicknames sent me 😂 I love how much footage there was of Jake parkour-ing all over the playground

[@lauralogan3046]

Also, the Gilmore girls references were spot on 😂🙌🏻

[@ecto78]

🤣🤣🤣 I feel like I am/was a happy medium of the two of these. Also, it depends on the day as to how neurotic I am. 🤣🤣🤣

[@mangowhiterose5939]

Same girl

[@catherinegarmon3027]

The helicopter sounds 👌 🔥 hilarious! Lil' Jack Sparrow Meanwhile I was vibing Brad's laid back parenting skills

[@madelynstone5]

The helicopter noises in the background cracked me up 😂 it’s the little details you guys add that make this top tier comedy 🤣

[@gpaine]

The swat chopper sound. Just perfect.

[@danlevesque5437]

Part 2 is a must 🤣👍👍👍👍

[@raincity5004]

I love the helicopter sound that is honestly the funniest part

[@sarahjarvis5966]

As a mom of 2 young kids this was entirely too relatable 😅 Helicopter-mom-Jake climbing the playset was hilarious!

[@thegodofpez]

The park acrobatics were pretty impressive!

[@erinwhite4592]

Season 4 of Gilmore Girls IS when it took a turn for the worst!!

[@Anna-gy7dv]

Yes! Was looking for this comment -- Brad was on point with his analysis!

[@lindenpeters2601]

Honestly, Free Spirit mom is 100% right that 1-year-olds can feed themselves. It's a great way to foster healthy eating habits, rather than training them to open their mouth every time a spoon is offered. They won't starve themselves, but if you are concerned, your pediatrician should know if they are getting enough to eat, as well as what eating skills they should be capable of.

[@kalakady8]

1000% free spirit mom, down to the Gilmore Girl opinions 😂

[@prettyBPD]

At first i thought Jake was freaking out and was climbing up the slide to shield Jack from the helicopter overhead

[@harlemosborne744]

This was an excuse for Jake to climb on the Jungle gym 🤣🤣🤣

[@literarylois]

Can’t wait to try all these nicknames on my friend Jackson

[@patriciadurham643]

I was Jake with my first child, Brad with the twins. 😂😂😂😂😂 so true!!!

Twins change you. Life becomes that cute little quote I found on stuff at Hobby Lobby, “Today’s Goal: Keep the Tiny Humans Alive.”

@@Rosie_C absolutely!!! Lol

[@marissabulso6439]

Jake’s commitment to climbing that play set, especially the slide sequence? Perfection. 😂 Great skit guys. ❤❤

[@PollyWannaCracker21]

Half this video is just Jake doing parkour on a children’s playground. 😂😂

[@benworsham5149]

"I'm going to get your leash" 😂😂😂😂

[@bucketofsunshine6366]

Lmao here I thought I'd be a healthy mixture of the two, but nope, 95% "free spirit mom" here. 🤣 The only place I really differ is car seat safety; my kids are properly buckled at all times, and also I've seen enough concussions (my neighbor's kid) to make sure they wear bike helmets.

[@bawesome5039]

Seat belts all the way. Bike helmet? I think we had a hand me down one once...

[@marge3157]

My kids were free range because we live on a cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere. Then when we got to town I was the hover mother.

[@lindsaycampbell9827]

I’m picturing people walking by while you’re filming Jake on the playground 🤣

I cannot with the literal helicopter sounds lmao

[@ThisIsFiftyWithLil]

Starting off strong, guys! Outstanding

[@lydiagreene8670]

Whole video was hilarious but I especially liked the bits of jake hopping around the playground to the helicopter noise, lost it when he couldn’t make it up the slide 😂😂😂😂

[@toobsokable]

I thought Brad would be the strict one and Jake the chill one.

[@Suleclo]

Cutting grapes into 1/8s lol

[@JUMALATION1]

I sort of had a helicopter mom that needed to know exactly where I was at all times, decided what hairstyle I would have up until 9th grade, told me that I couldn't wear jeans because "girls don't do that", gave me 5 or 10 cents for chores I did up until I was a teen, looked through and proof-read all my homework etc etc. If I ever become a mom I will go with the notion that "kids are made of rubber", they don't have to be that closely supervised e.g. on the playground and told what not to do.

[@kristinaratzin]

You say that now........just wait. Lol.

[@kivaroussel6928]

Jake climbing up the slide! Too good!! 😂

I was impressed with Jake’s agility on the playground

[@montyollie]

You guys just get better and better with every vid. Can't stop laughing at this!!

[@karenk2409]

This is so hilarious my face hurts from laughing! I was brought up in a military family with Free Spirit parents; we were free to roam in a safe world, and our performance at school was our responsibility - our parents made sure we got there and didn't get into trouble. I was a combination of the two in the 80s and 90s when the world was transitioning to Helicopter. Being a kid with Free Spirit parents was much, much better, but then it was a safer world. My parents were terrified of polio and German measles, rightfully so, but they didn't make us all little hypochondriacs. I was definitely an academic Helicopter (Asian influence!) but encouraged them to test their mettle in the woods, in sports, Scouts, band, etc. without my interference.

[@MsJDH87]

Loved this one! Helicopter noises, Jake climbing on the playground, Gilmore girls references, and the nicknames.

[@marthaduncan7694]

I had a wonderful pediatrician back in the 80s when I was having kids. He had five children, their pictures on his wall. He said, "let them eat dirt." And had a great sense of humor. Thanks, Dr. Bondareff.

I think this is how me and my sister are going to be when we have kids. She makes a big deal when our little cousins fall, and i rate the falls 1-10. We're complete opposites in almost every way...
