Over beers, Daddy Brad and Daddy Clay muse about the parenting challenge of biting. How do you handle it when your kid bites other children? Why do kids bite? DadLabs Ep. 19 The Lounge.

Daddy Clay: Welcome back to the lounge. Today we are talking about biting. You know, I think that there have got to be bad parents out there that like coach their kids on how to bite.

Daddy Brad: Yeah. Because kids are always getting bitten at day care.

Daddy Clay: I mean, you come with dental records. Because between the times they're one and two it’s like they have lunch and they are lunch every day. So I think there are bad parents out there that coach him. They’re saying like, OK kid you’re gonna need to get in there and you’re gonna have to bite some children, okay to just establish yourself. And here’s some things to remember. Always go for the soft parts and its okay to take a little chunk out of a kid. It’s not cannibalism unless you swallow.

Daddy Brad: That’s right! You’re a little scrawny feller and if you want what you deserve you need to get in there and take ya a bite.

Daddy Clay: Exactly. You know – okay, if you want another kids snack that’s fine. Bite him. Take it, bite him.

Daddy Brad: And those day care people, you know it may be if they’d let you have sugar and cookies for lunch, maybe you wouldn’t need to take a big chaw out of anybody.

Daddy Clay: If you want to play with that airplane fine, bite the kid and take it.

Daddy Brad: And think about it. Think about it. We teach ‘em that…we teach ‘em that

Daddy Clay: Bite your mother while you’re at it. Bite her.

Daddy Brad: Because what do when a kid…..

Daddy Clay: Hell, bite me son. Come on in here, have a bite. Come on boy, show me what you’re made of.

Daddy Brad: We teach ‘em that. Do you play, and granddaddy plays – horse biting the apple, horse biting the apple.

Daddy Clay: Their going on YouTube and they’re looking for footage of badgers attacking like baby mooses.

Daddy Brad: I bet those parents …

Daddy Clay: Come on over here son, come on over here, look at this. Look at the lock… see I think the badger has the genitals son. I mean, I’m not advocating that but…

Daddy Brad: Come on over. Let’s watch Holyfield-Tyson II again.

Daddy Clay: A chunk out of the ear.

Daddy Brad: Yeah, that’s right and you can’t match those dental records because you only get like parts and the mom or dad won’t be able to check the dental records of all the kids.

Daddy Clay: What are these parents – what are they saying to the other parents? They’re saying, ‘well, you know, I’m sorry but your child started it by having a snack’.

Daddy Brad: Dog eat dog world.

Daddy Clay: You shouldn’t – this is what you get for teaching your child to talk.

Daddy Brad: Yeah, your boy kicked sand in my boys face the other day. I mean, he got what he deserved.

Daddy Clay: Hey, I’m raising a tough kid because it’s a tough world. If you want to teach your kid to like share – ha ha ha, fine. Good luck with that.

Daddy Brad: I had my boy eating ham sandwiches at four months old.

Daddy Clay: I’ve been having my kid sleep with a pit bull since he was eleven months.

Daddy Brad: Favorite player – Michael Vick.

Daddy Clay: That is a tough, tough kid.

Daddy Brad: That’s how you get what you want. Dog eat dog.

Daddy Clay: I don’t know. It feels that way sometimes when you’re picking the kids up from day care.

Daddy Brad: Yeah.

Daddy Clay: And it bites.

Daddy Brad: Yeah.

Daddy Clay: Well, that’s all for us here at the DadLabs.
