I’ve seen one too many movies not too 😂 I don’t know whose gonna go check it out but it sure as heck ain't gonna be me. Fck that Scooby Doo gang shit 🤣 Pack your bags, we’re gonna go stay elsewhere until the ghostbusters or anyone other than us checks it out 🤣 #FeelFreeToList
When I was in 3rd grade one of my classmates/playmates was killed by a serial killer. I was worried that someone would harm my puppy that I got when I was 6. I liked brushing my teeth because the minty paste was like candy, so it was not uncommon for me to walk around with my toothbrush at bed time. I filed down the end of my toothbrush on the pavement so it was pointy and kept it under my pillow for a while. One of the "rough kids" in an older grade had done that and stabbed a kid a year oro so earlier and I'd heard about it. When my mom found it and asked me about it, I said it was because bad people got Davey (I don't actually remember if that was his name or not... sounds right). I said if bad people came for me, my puppy would try to protect me, and the bad people might hurt my puppy. She probably asked me if I was worried that the bad people would get me or something, and she gave me a night light. Now I'd never seen a nightlight before so I didn't know what it was. We used mostly candle light because it was cheaper than electricity. By the end of the first week I'd given it back to her. I'd unplug it every night and plug it back in in the mornings before she'd come in, but I overslept one day and it wasn't plugged in. She asked me if I didn't need it anymore. I told her I never needed it, I had to unplug it every night, because it kept the room so bright, and if the bad people came they'd see me. She told me that she'd keep me safe and I'd never have to hide from bad people. I told her I wasn't hiding FROM them, I just didn't want them to see me coming. I was going to protect my puppy.
She said that's when she knew how my career/life was going to play out. For nearly a quarter century now I've tried to make sure they never saw me and my toothbrush coming.
A child's imagination is something you have to take seriously. If my son is afraid I try to reassure him. He has a night light I put on if that night he's afraid because it's dark - difficult with so many power cuts - we check under the bed together and anywhere else. I make him laugh and feel safe.
He doesn't remember me from before I lost my leg so he still believes I'm his hero - he told this to his teacher - so I play the role he needs me to play and each day I do just a little bit less and let him do a little bit more in that area so his confidence can grow.
You NEVER belittle the child's fear. They need to know you take them seriously. At the same time I read him stories like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and he's learning not to call unless he's genuinely scared.

Humor is the medicine of fear. We’d need to turn this scary experience into something funny.
First, I would listen to him carefully, then I’d tell him
”Oh, you found my little monster? I was playing hide and seek with him, I looking for him everywhere. Look! Where he has been hiding!”
Or something like this
“Let me check, maybe poor little monster is scared and that’s why he’s hiding under the bed? Let’s help him.”
Or “Oh, that’s the fat little monster that has been eating my candies? And I thought that was your dad.”
Then I’d check under the bed and pretend to talk with the monster, we would have a very humorous conversation, I’d make a little show for him,
when I’d notice that my child’s scared face slowly turned into smile and then into a laughter, I’d smile too and I’d hug him and tell him that he’s safe, I am there for him and he doesn’t need to worry. I’ll always protect him and that monsters don’t really exist, but even if they did, they are probably afraid of us and that’s why they are hiding.
The point is that before I tell him that monsters don’t really exist, I’d want him to change his view of monsters, imagine this monster as such an adorable and funny thing that when I finally tell him monsters don’t really exist, he might even get disappointed.
Yes but it's because some kids usually don't know how to express themselves in adult terms or basic English...
There is at least a 70% chance that the monster they refer to is a creature whose name they don't know. For example a centipede, spider, it's pretty common, in some homes for creatures to get in. I'd be quick to check it out.
I would go in they with them I tell them let's both look together scream bloody murder push them down so I could get away lmao no just teasing
Part way I would go in there with them get down and look just to reinsure them that there's nothing underneath there
I babysat for my older sister. The two girls kept complaining about an old woman opening their door & staring into their bedroom at night and they were scared. So I stayed in their room that night in their room and pushed the two beds together. I awoke in the middle of the night unable to move with the old woman by bed just looking at me, my sister and her husband came home and it was gone. I got the sense that she would have done me harm if she could. But there were weird occurrences all the time in that house.
Of course, and show them how to chase them away... granted I've seen many horror stories where the monster was someone who was hiding in the house living in drop ceilings, secret rooms, attics, secret basement rooms... always believe your kid, even if its overactive imagination. If need be set up a camera to record where they see the monster coming from.
Yes. We were camping once years ago and I heard clanking under our RV in the middle of the night. I woke my husband up and he wouldn't listen to me. Two men stole my daughters bike that was stowed there. So yup, a monster was under the bed.
Most likely, it is definitely something that mustn’t be throw in the bag immediately. I would basically become Detective Pikachu and start asking a succession of questions and try to sketch the demonic pile of Torosaurus dung. The next big step would be to either call my mom and/or our pastor and tell them about it. Really the best I can do is pray for the poor YVNLad which is still good but like dog Jamm, is one of the family members is haunted then we are in some serious business. I’m talking some President Business kind of stuff from The LEGO Movie.
A roofer accidentally put his foot through the ceiling of my kids closet once... scared the hell out of him. But most days, I wouldn't believe there's a monster.
YES!. if it's my kid, then we call daddy and he'll protect us and kill the monster. If its my neice or nephew then I'm grabbing them and getting the hell out of there
As a parent, you treat it as if it's real... because your kid thinks it's real. You look under the bed, make some noise, find nothing, and say something like "Looks like the monster is gone now. We scared it away." If your kid doesn't believe you, take them by the hand and show them that there's nothing under the bed now, then tuck them back in, turn off the lights, and say "Goodnight!"
You just reminded me of two different scenes from a show and movie, but I would slightly. I would check no matter what though. Go to 2:47 to see the part I was thinking of for the first video if it doesn't skip to it already, lmao.
Toss a flashbang in the closet, dump 7 rounds of buckshot in, evacuate the family, burn down the house with starlight flares while you're changing magazines in your M-16 that's pouring rounds on every window and doorway it could come out of.
I mean, that would be fun in a plywood urban combat house, really I just give them a hug, kiss, tell them everything is fine, and to go back to sleep.
No! I would not. But ☝️ i would go up and check and then show my kid that there is nothing there. The chance of any that being real is so slim that it does not exist and i have lived in middle east, refugee camps, live under war and after. I know these things have happened before somewhere but it doesn't mean it's gonna happen all the time.
No, lol; I'd just make a joke out of it like "oh no, it has my arm!" Make a slap sound by hitting my arm and go "hah, I defeated him! That was sooo easy".
Now the kid has a silly/happy memory instead of fear of the unknown.
I've always wanted to accidentally live in a haunted house so I'd honestly go buy ghost hunting equipment. Probably with the kid to make it all fun. And make it a whole scooby doo episode of our own everytime. Now if we actually find something is where things get reallly interesting!
Me being paranoid would teach them what monsters look like. I'd believe him. Make the kid feel safe
Real or not I would treat it as a real serious and possible threat while children do have wild imaginations there's just as much of a real possibility they did actually see something.
Real or not, spiritual or physical, daddy will take of it and if need be pump it full of lead.

Love the memes. I'd be more like Major Payne and shoot in the closet or open up and stab really quick. Can't wait to watch the next Boogieman movie!
It could be true, I heard and saw demons so I definitely wouldn't judge lol
I'd say, "Honey, you've got to stop letting in those Republican canvassers! You are young and female - the type of person usually not friendly to Republicans... and for good reason! So, when they meet a girl like you who is friendly to them, they will latch on to you like a starving lion on a wounded gazelle."
