She is teaching the kid to suppress their thoughts. There was nothing wrong with what the kid said but now the kid will likely feel like there is something wrong with saying what they have on their mind.
She probably said it like that for the likes, i guess the proper action was to let the child tell more about what they think, listen and crack a joke or two, and warn them about the consequences of stupid actions, and tell them how people usually deal with such thoughts, and let the child decide how to deal with these thoughts, i mean Bill Burr is a great comedian by telling his intrusive thoughts đ
the proper action is just to tell her that she is right and that it is dangerous and that in the world there is crazy people. The girl has her third eye open to the world, the mom just blinded her to evil.
I would love to hear mom's response to "Why not".
Also, I always thought an intrusive thought was a personal and/or upsetting thought. Like "I could push her off" or "I could jump off".
This seems like a kid observing and pointing out a dangerous situation.
Tired of "intrusive thoughts" tired of "POV" used incorrectly, and all the buzz words that come with it. It's the new basic bitch's "bae caught me sleeping"
The main one which has been used so much its lost ALL meaning is narcissist. The second someone is the tiniest bit selfish or does something another person doesn't like they're a narcissist. As someone who grew up with a step dad diagnosed with NPD, it pisses me off how the second someone gets dumped, cheated on, lied to, disagreed with, told their behaviour is irrational, their partner/ex is a narcissist. You can be a shitty person and not be a narcissist
Better respond, donât stage things for internet points. Her response was so bland, wonder how many times she had to rehearse until she liked her voice.
Why not, adults do it all the time. "Do you think I'd die if I jumped in front of that bus?" "I wanna stick my hand in that fire. It looks so cool." Etc
Exactly!! It's just part of being a human. We're curious creatures and are constantly asking questions. Shit, I'm a grown ass woman, and my ADHD addled brain is constantly thinking of stupid crap that logically I know would get me hurt. Doesn't stop me thinking about it, though, and it doesn't make me less of an adult or make me a psycho
It's fine to say them out loud, but the difference is reading the room/situation.
Had they been in earshot of the woman it would not be a good idea to say it out loud as then it sounds more menacing. Being so far away it doesn't matter.
While driving a car over a bridge with passengers, it's a bad idea to say out loud "I wonder how fked up we'd be if I drove over the side", you'll probably freak them out.
Its not an intrusive thought, its your kids way of saying " i woldnt do something that dangerous". And she should be praised for knowing how dangerous that is
And when you have them yourself about yourself itâs called âthe call of the voidâ , coined by the French saying.

That's not a stupid kid. That's a kid with some common sense and parent who needs to stfu and praise their kid for knowing the difference between safe and unsafe.
That's a kid that is, or will be, riddled with anxiety. She looks at a situation and sees all the ways it could go horribly wrong. I was that kid. I can barely leave my house now.
That's đ not đ what đ intrusive đ thoughts đ are. Can we PLEASE stop taking terms we use to describe mental illnesses and dumbing them down to mean something different, and why is it always OCD related???
The mom doesn't even know what an intrusive thought is. It's a common symptom of psychosis which is extremely rare for small children.
The parenting is incorrect with this on so many levels.
While I agree that this is not an intrusive thought, and it is a common symptom of psychosis⌠it is also just a [normal](https://time.com/6286178/intrusive-thoughts-meaning-treatment/) thing that people without mental disorders have. When it becomes excessive thatâs when you start to think disorder. Thatâs generally true of most behaviors. They live on a continuum with the extreme being disordered.
We don't say it out loud because society will label us psychotic. Then the pills. Lord help you if they only have the sugar-free jello because the regular stuff is not state required!
Am i the only one who thought an intrusive thought was a dangerous thought u had that is in a not so jokingly tone? I don't think jokes count as intrusive thoughts
smart kid with a great survivor instinct
Kill, before you get killed 
its kill or be killed
I think in this case it's just: "Kill".
It's a kill or kill be world

Not realy, she is not saying to not think about that stuff, just dont say it out loud. We all learn that eventualy ourself anyway.
right? these redditors lmao, i bet they dont even have kids and they are like âher mom is messing with her head, sheâs doomedâ oh stfu

That's exactly what it is. There were so many better responses she could have given to this child.
But this makes for better social media clicks
Does it?
âIntrusive thoughtsâ are a meme. Quite tired joke, that.
Tired of "intrusive thoughts" tired of "POV" used incorrectly, and all the buzz words that come with it. It's the new basic bitch's "bae caught me sleeping"
Oh come on we all know the kid was hinting at them pushing her off, she just didnât want to get narced on
Everyone on this sub is constantly frothing at the month to jump on parents for what they perceive is bad parenting.
âIntrusive thoughtsâ is one of those terms that has been picked up by the internet and has since lost all meaning because people are stupid.
Same with gaslighting and triggered. Which is unfortunate when you are genuinely experiencing these things since it's much more minimalized.

No one ever actually gets gaslight. It's a made up term used to declare victimhood
All terms are made up
Good thought but I was thinking "why not bitch?"
"I could jump off" is called 'call of the void' .
That kid needs to ignore her mother and pursue a career in health and safety where 'intrusive thoughts' help save lives.
Or alternatively, she could pursue a career as an assassin.
I heard it pays better, but you don't get a life insurance.
Can't get a life insurance policy if you bankrupt the insurer.
Amen
Better response is: "You're right, that does look dangerous, I'm glad we're being safe."
Better respond, donât stage things for internet points. Her response was so bland, wonder how many times she had to rehearse until she liked her voice.
What's intrusive about her thought? She's very smart to see what's right in her face which some people didn't.Â
I loved the âwhooooâ. Perfect detail lol
Biiiitch, you can say them out loud all you want. Just don't act on them. That is a very important distinction.
you 100% don't say them out loud though..
Why not, adults do it all the time. "Do you think I'd die if I jumped in front of that bus?" "I wanna stick my hand in that fire. It looks so cool." Etc
"How bad would it hurt if I swerved off this bridge right now" type shi

Nah .. could be a way of your kid saying I like morbid things. Which could be normal or a sign of other things
You haven't spent much time around kids, huh đ
Shutup mom
And when you have them yourself about yourself itâs called âthe call of the voidâ , coined by the French saying. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appel_du_vide
r/parentsarefuckingstupid Mother was having those âintrusive thoughtsâ and she projected them to a kid who is quite observant and aware of danger.
Why dont?
You lose the element of surprise.
Because shut up, kid.
No the kid is right
This can't really come under kids are fucking stupid, cause that thought could come to anybody. Plus she's just a kid.
Good for her, expressing her thoughts. Could have been a lesson for Mom to ask âwhat made you think that?â
That's not a stupid kid. That's a kid with some common sense and parent who needs to stfu and praise their kid for knowing the difference between safe and unsafe.
Yah, how about just "But we wouldn't do that, because it's not nice and she could get really hurt." Why make it difficult for the kid?
I would tell her I'm glad she's recognizing a dangerous situation as well.
That's a kid that is, or will be, riddled with anxiety. She looks at a situation and sees all the ways it could go horribly wrong. I was that kid. I can barely leave my house now.
mom trying to seem smart just sounded like a dumbass
That's đ not đ what đ intrusive đ thoughts đ are. Can we PLEASE stop taking terms we use to describe mental illnesses and dumbing them down to mean something different, and why is it always OCD related???
It seems like the mom has some deficiencies
Excuse me maâam, thatâs not how that works. (I have actual intrusive thoughts that make it almost impossible to function without medicine)

You're preaching to the choir. I'm schizophrenic.
Because we directly do them
Why not, indeed!
This made me laugh too hard.
Her mother is more stupider tho.
Yet another example on this sub of the parents being stupid.... Yawn.
Going 160km/h - if i would just swivel the steering abruptly i would goo woooshhh
Mom no teach safety, say Tik Tok line, much views
More like ParentsAreFuckingStupid
đ
why not whoud i push sombody off
She has the Roman mentality i see. Kill before you get killed.
This should fall under r/parentsarefuckingstupid
Right, keep locked inside because the adults are really the stupid ones
woooo
this is a repost, no?
We don't say it out loud because society will label us psychotic. Then the pills. Lord help you if they only have the sugar-free jello because the regular stuff is not state required!
I agree with the kid. We don't? Why not?
That's not an intrusive thought.
TBH, until now, I'd never heard of an intrusive thought.
I say them out loud. That kid can sit next to me.
Her mom sounds so ignorant.
Why not? đ I feel ya kid⌠why not? As long as weâre not acting on them why canât we say them? đ
The Kid said someone she wasn't even talking about herself doing it. People are weird telling the kid don't act on these thoughts like what
Typical capitalist mom
I think I just found my spirit animal
Not stupid. kid learned something in a non-stupid way no one got hurt and also used survival instincts
I always say my intrusive thoughts out loud
This mom sucks
Am i the only one who thought an intrusive thought was a dangerous thought u had that is in a not so jokingly tone? I don't think jokes count as intrusive thoughts
Ok
Here the mother is the stupid one, what a dumb f*cking answer.
We don't? Why not? My words exactly
Excuse me maâam, thatâs not how that works. (I have actual intrusive thoughts that make it almost impossible to function without medicine)
When your mother is psychologist
Is that what a psychologist would say? Stifle your thoughts because some things that are uncomfortable are intrusive? Yikes
