Subjecting children to manipulative "relationship tests" erodes the foundation of secure attachment and conditions them to view love as a performance. This trend dangerously prioritizes parental validation over a child's long-term emotional well-being.

Mothers Are Now Relationship Testing Their KIDSAdded:
Do you guys remember orange peel theory?
We have talked a lot about various relationship tests over the ages. There was the mustard test where you squirt mustard on the table and then ask your partner to clean it up. And this test was essentially like a two-part test.
One was to like gauge their loyalty, gauge their servanthood of whether or not they will simply take on the task when told. And then there was the second part which was do they clean it up well enough? Do they use the right cleaning agent? Do they do it in a expected amount of time, right? The very annoying ridiculous things that would never pass the gender swap test. If men started testing us, we would lose our freaking minds and probably start an OnlyFans out of spite.
>> [laughter] >> Get so angry at the patriarchy that you start an OnlyFans.
Sorry, I'm still going to be laughing about that one for a while. But there was a specific test. It was really big maybe two or three years ago called the orange peel test. Where you ask your man to peel an orange for you. And honestly, this was like probably one of the least annoying tests. It was essentially just to see if your partner loves you enough to help you out with this like kind of mundane task that really anybody should be able to do. Like I remember being expected to peel my own orange in preschool. But just to see if they're willing to help you out with something small. The idea being that if they'll help you out with this, they'll probably help you out with something larger. And then you like know you got a good one or something, I guess. And like I said, these are tests typically given by an adult woman to an adult man who she is trying to gauge an idea of whether or not they will be a suitable long-term romantic partner.
That's the idea, right? Well, what would y'all do if I told you that mothers are now giving relationship tests to their children?
Some of you have probably become so jaded by the world that you're like, "Yeah, that sounds about right." But others are like, "What?" Let's get into it.
I really need an orange. Okay.
Thank you.
See you. Thanks. Go do it. You got to peel it. I have nails.
I'm going to let Daddy do it. Can you peel this orange there?
Okay. So, for audio only gang, she goes, "Hey, can you get me an orange?" This little boy is probably, I would guesstimate around 4 years old.
So, he's like, "Absolutely." He brings her an orange and she goes, "Well, you have to peel it. I have nails." This is another excuse that um the original orange peel theorists would do is when you have like the long, well-done nails, they say that that's a reason they can't peel an orange.
Personally, I would argue that that's actually more of a reason you should be able to peel an orange. You basically have built-in freaking bottle openers in those My uh stylist, personally, always has the crazy long nails and she is able to cut my hair, style my hair, wash my hair, no problems at all. She even does nails with her nails. So, I don't understand why you can't peel an orange. But here she goes.
She's uh going to get little baby J at the tender age of 4 or so to peel the orange for him. And uh he immediately starts outsourcing. He's >> [laughter] >> He goes, "Okay, I'll get Dad to do it."
So, now the orange theory orange peel theory has been orange peel theoried.
She's testing him. He's going to test Dad. We're going to just see how many rounds this takes. So he's going over to help that go get some help from daddy.
Why don't you kill it? I don't I can't pull. What?
I I can't pull it.
Interesting. So, in text overlay, the mom who started this test said, "I knew he'd ask Shawn.
So, I told him not to help him." So, this whole thing also has the element of a self-fulfilling prophecy wherein she has already established guardrails for this test to kind of bind him in to ensure the proper outcome, I guess.
You try. But I can't.
That's all right. I don't need an orange, I guess.
What a So, the the boy is experiencing some trouble. He's kind of like, "But I I can't. I can't do it."
So, she passively aggressively begins the guilt trip. She walks away from the child and goes, "That's okay. I guess I don't need an orange."
So, she is already weaponizing her emotions against the child to secure a desired outcome. I just know she is going to be one of those mothers where when her son gets married and it's like, "Hey, just so you know, we'll have to split the holidays because I got to go and see my wife's side of the family." "It's okay. No, it's fine. I guess, you know, if you just don't want to spend time with your mother, you don't want to spend time with me. It's fine if you like them better, if you love your other side better." It's It's already going to be like that. I already know, dude. This is so effed up to do to your child. I don't like being this dramatic, but I genuinely find this type of behavior to be a form of child abuse. I'm already pissed, dude. Yeah, she's manipulating her child over an orange and then recording so you have time to like do this whole flowy thing with your hair, but you can't peel an orange. Wait, wait, wait.
I'll give you one. But you said you don't know how.
I'll try.
I am peeling it. I'm peeling it. I think you need a wet is that? No, I can't have my nails dirty. I got a cheese for you.
>> [laughter] >> I DID IT.
YOU want to open?
>> [snorts] >> So then the husband here because she's like like I said, she's guilting him and so the kid is reacting the way a child does and is like, "No, no, no, like I can do it. I can do it." And she's like, "No, you have to do it right." You have to do it right, Jay.
Don't Come on, Jay. Do it right.
So then the dad is like seeing the kids' desperation and upset that he's disappointing his mother because he's not able to do this task that she needs from him. So he comes in and is like, "Do you want a little bit of help, buddy?" You know, a natural paternal reaction to a child who is now experiencing desperation and emotional distress.
And the text overlay reads, "Sean forgot he's not supposed to be helping." with like a facepalm emoji.
You like, "Sorry, he's not playing along with your Mother Gothel manipulation routine for clicks, you bitch." Dude, what a witch. Wait, actually no, I don't feel like helping you.
So dad starts him off.
I just don't know how to do it.
Dad doesn't know how to peel an orange.
Aw, you did SO GOOD, JAY.
You can put it in the trash if you want.
Well, how about when I give you one, you throw it in the trash right away so you don't get your nails dirty. Okay. Okay.
Do it in the trash. Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
Okay. And he's like spending so much time and she's like laughing at him.
She's putting in the text like he's spending so long trying to peel it. It's like kind of mashed up at this point. I mean, he's just like a little kid. But he's like he just wants to make his mom happy. He just doesn't want to be a disappointment and failure to his mom. If when when >> good job. When the skin when when you when you're done eat and then the skin is blocking it, then then just tell me and I'll peel the rest of the skin off.
Aw, thank you, Jay.
So you're not even going to thank him?
All of that and you're not even going to say, "Thank you so much for doing that, Jay." What is wrong with these people?
I swear and like the caption says he's the best. He's the best what? The best doormat?
The best at being trained for your unconditional demands?
The best at just doing whatever you say?
The best slave? And mind you, like this video is like crushing it with the with the likes here. Like we're at almost a million likes. The people apparently love it, which is bad news.
It's bad news for Jay because what this means is she's now gotten like a taste for it, right? Like her addiction to these kinds of sketches and parodies is now like only just beginning.
And and you guys know in general how I feel about people blasting their kids' face and name and using their kids' content for social media. But you especially know how I feel about using your child and their face and their name for weird like social media pranks and tests and trials and Like, can you just let him live? Can you like be nice?
Actually?
Like I don't know. Do you guys think that I'm being sensitive? Cuz I'm willing to admit if I may be wrong here. But this one pissed me off. Like I already get irritated by relationship tests. Like but you're going to do it to your child?
Why?
I would genuinely like to know like what purpose does this serve? And I'm so disturbed by like the the enabling in the comment section.
Like everybody is supporting this.
They're like, "This is so cute. Love it.
So perfect." Without realizing like you guys know what's actually happening here? Like the boy is cute. His mom sucks sour grapes, dude.
His mom is just a barf and crusted jumbo jerk. How do they think this video is going to play when he is in high school?
She's probably going to have like a million more of these knocked out by that time. This one's going to be a fart in the wind in comparison. Vienna Marie, thank you for the five says, "She's teaching her son that her love is dependent on what he can do for her. A sad lesson to teach a young boy, but unfortunately too common."
This goes right back into what we were talking about earlier in the live stream about how you know, young men and boys are conditioned from a very young age to essentially learn like happy wife, happy life. You simply bend over backwards and minimize yourself and shrink into yourself like a dying star to accommodate whatever the women want.
Whatever they want.
You don't show emotion because if you raise your voice because you're angry because you're not being heard, because your side is being disregarded, because they think that they should be right even when they're wrong. And then when you prove that you're right and they're wrong, you're still punished for it. So, they don't even bother speaking up about their feelings anymore.
Then they continue being punished even even more. Then you get the women who are like, "Well, okay, he works, he provides, he does the chores around the house, but like he just doesn't open up emotionally."
Mhm.
Well, you know, he just he does everything that I ask him to, but I just feel like he doesn't have his own personality.
Like we we wonder how we got here. Like we wonder how we got into this situation where men feel like nothing they do can be right. They're taught from a very young age like it's not. Like even when we finished this orange peel clip, she's got him jumping through all these hoops, doing all these performances. He's not allowed to have help. He's not allowed to take a snack break. He's got to do it right or else, "Oh, well, no, it's fine.
No, it's fine. Just disappoint your mother. It's fine." He gets guilt-tripped, he gets manipulated. Then at the end like he does his absolute best and presents it to her and she's just like zooming in on it to make fun of how like garbled and mangled it's become without even thanking him. Dude, at least he's got his dad.
Dad seems cool. Hopefully he gets to spend a lot more time with his dad and his dad can teach him, you know, to value himself, to love himself, to set boundaries, to learn how to say no to women even when they're trying to manipulate you and emotionally ring you out through guilt trips and other performances.
I I All I can hope is that young Jay finds the men in his life who teach him to be confident in himself and who teach him like you do not have to become a hollow husk of a man to satisfy every whim of women. You're allowed to stand up for yourself. That would be great to see. Like I hope that one day Jake can reach a point where when his mom is like, "Oh, fine. If you won't do it, I I guess I'll just find someone more competent who can." Cool.
Hope you do that. And it doesn't affect you. That's what I hope. Because right now there are two very horrible lessons being taught.
This young boy is being taught you're a disappointment if you fail a task. And she's being taught God, it's so easy to manipulate young boys and men. And we need more boys and young men and men in general sticking up for themselves and just not tolerating the Just nipping that in the bud.
Cuz it's not good all the way around.
It's not good for men. It's not good for women.
We got to knock that off, dude.
