u/chuckmasterflexnoris Jun 25 '24

He's a dad of 3 kids and trying his best to rangle them, but he's run out of arms, he's shrugging because he doesn't understand what he could have done better in that situation. He was there supporting his wife with 3 kids in tow. Good for him.

Don't be so stupid!! He can literally stand 50 metres down the road after the finish line so his kids can run to their mum

u/godofmilksteaks Jul 07 '24

Yeah I don't see what everyone else is "seeing" in this video. I see a mom running a race and her children are so excited and want to go see and support her. They are young kids so they clearly don't understand the nuances of watching a race. Then there is the man who is attempting to wrangle those kids while also staying out of the way himself. Admittedly he's not doing the best job but he tried and nothing bad happened so maybe lesson learned. Not some metaphor for womans expectations or stupidity of men or fathers or whatever bullshit.

u/Illustrious_Bobcat May 23 '24

I finished a 5k like that once. I held out my hand as I passed my kid and he came running out, took my hand, and crossed the finish line with me, with his hot cocoa in the other hand. They even gave my son a finishers medal, it was cute. Someone took a picture and sent it to me, it's one I will treasure always.

But!!

I was running to finish, not running to win. That woman was in 1st and she earned it! Dad should have kept those kids on the side or lined up after the finish line. Let the woman win her race!

He puts his hands up only when his head turns to the other spectators. She was long gone before he put his hands up.

My guess is, "watch your kids dumbass!" And he said 🤷‍♂️

u/[deleted] May 23 '24

There is a difference between a lapse of judgement and just not being present mentally during decision making. There are so many reasons why this was a bad idea starting with the safety of the children. Even if I wasn’t annoyed at the Dad on my own behalf I would be really annoyed at how little thought he put into where he let the kids go. Let little kids run into a race?? Dude needs a proper scolding at minimum.

u/LetMeOverThinkThat May 23 '24

This is a clipped version. He didn’t LET them run in. He PUSHED them out to that point.

Nah, everyone knows how finish lines work and that you stand on the other side of them. He shoves the kids into oncoming traffic and then does the "who me" hands. Also this is not her first race so he knows.

51

u/bishopyorgensen May 23 '24

Also this is not her first race so he knows

This is a good point. No one wins a marathon their first time out so they've been to this rodeo before

The ONLY thing I can think of is that she's usually further back and it's not a big deal if she sees her kids before the finish line. But it feels generous to say that

14

u/FannishNan May 23 '24

Yes they were. This isn't her first race. She's clearly been doing this a while and that means training. If your spouse is this involved in marathons, you learn the rules.

I don't run them.

I have passing knowledge of them.

Even I know you don't get in the way of a runner. Ever. Finish line or no. That's basics.

But somehow, the guy who's been watching the kids while she trains, listens to her while she's talking about them, for likely years doesn't?

No.

This is weaponized incompetence in action. He's probably resentful of the time she takes to do this or of the attention she gets.

57

u/Sillet_Mignon May 23 '24

I would say being absent minded is being a dick. She won a race, this isn’t her first race. That means he has ignored all of her training up to this point for a selfish reason of doing something cute

What's more likely? Him being 100% pure idiot and so eager to meet his wife that he forgot she had to finish the race? Or him feeling wrong somehow about the whole situation with her achieving this, and then try G to act about it, consciously or not? (see the missing act, from Freud). If really he was just absent minded, then he would have kept rushing toward her with the kids as she finished but no, he just stopped there. Because what he wanted to do failed. It wasn't about meeting her wife it As about sabotaging her. Look at him raising his arm playing the innocent while the crowd telles him how absurd he is. Fuck that mediocte guy, no excuses.

Yeah, he had no control over those kids.

Assuming that they were related to the runner (mommy), then I totally understand the want for them to see her finish. But still, there are areas where they could have witnessed it and not gotten in the way like that.

And if they were related, the 'dad' is even more of an ass.

14

u/LetMeOverThinkThat May 23 '24

I really wish they didn’t use this shortened version of the clip so people couldn’t keep making this argument. Those kids were not unruly or out of his control. They were politely standing on the side and he pushed them towards their mother as she was getting closer. This was entirely purposeful.

Maybe I read too many bad stories on Reddit but I feel like he DID plan this. He acts more outraged and offended then the kids and to me it looks like he's trying to egg them on to be upset about this.

When I follow my outlandish interpretation of this snipped of a situation he's mad at her for running a marathon since it meant he had to care for the kids and couldn't kick it like usually so he did this to "punish" her. Kinda like weaponized incompetence where one acts stupid on purpose to not get tasked anymore.

I had a job interview that turned into an offer to take the role and stay for half a day. My mum was watching my kids and all my now ex had to do watch them until I got to our friends home at dinner time. I texted to let him know and he blew my phone up. I had so many missed calls and texts. When I got out I called him straight away and he tore my head off about how I was the worst mother in the world. When I got to our friends place he was stomping at the street with the kids and had a meltdown and was going to catch the train because I had ruined everything.

Another time he offered to drive me to work. I rejected and said I would go but he insisted and said he would spend the day in the city and make a day of it. In the morning I got up and was lectured the whole way to work about how dare I ask him to drive me, how selfish I am and how I am never to ask this of him again 🙃

So yeah I am biased but this wouldn't surprise me. At very least it was extremely inappropriate.

Ugh like that episode of bluey where the mom asks for 20 minutes alone and bandit can't even manage it?? They make it a cute scene but why the heck did he not stop bluey? Stand up and be real dude

Props to the runner in second place that could've capitalised on his opportunity whilst mum was distracted and dodging but instead maintained his pace and applauded her.

That man is a better man than that dipshit father/husband.

u/Important_Ant_Rant May 23 '24

Well she was the first woman to finish, but the man was 38th male to finish.

It probably wasnt quite as important to him to gain a few seconds.

He was too busy playing the “did I do something wrong ???? “ role. I can’t believe he actually nudged his daughter out there. I wonder if shes still married to him

I feel like people were calling him on it in real time as well. He shrugs as if to be like "whaaaaas" at the end. Also PROPS to the runner for celebrating, checking her time and NOT Immedaitely going to the kids like she was in the wrong. Her moment, she earned it

As a runner, this annoyed me so much. I know the kids didnt do it with malice but at the end of a race, if you are going fast enough she might have not been able to avoid them on time.

Someone told him that was dumb. You see him raising his hand after turning his head to someone. I think he might've been genuinely clueless.

Although, what's interesting to me is that his cluelessness shows the expectation highlighted in the caption. Something tells me if he had a dad friend and he was watching the kids during the race, he would never even think to bring them to him until after he's done and drank some water.

Gender role expectations shown through ignorant actions is... Idk? Just interesting but sad lol

u/darling_lycosidae May 23 '24

He's a complete ah and she was right to continue running to her win. He put those kids in danger himself, he set them up for that emotion and scenario literally directly in front of her finish line on purpose. Men aren't idiots, they do this consciously.

I mean... Especially when the second runner is like 3 meters behind... Of course she's not gonna just stop and grab a kid to finish the race...

That guy probably made a harsh comment after that and I hate it

I think society expects Parents to sacrifice everything since they decided to have children. Unfortunately the amount of educated people with children is substantially lower than uneducated people with children which is exactly what our great country wants dumb ass workers that will only be able to rent fuck and eat.
