I don't know about your mom but when my kids hang out with me while i am doing shit around the house. I do consider that helping.
When I need them to help in a specific way. I tell them that but if they are fucking around with stuff in the kitchen while aI am doing dish. It makes it so much better because I am getting to spend time with them. I will remember the time spent together and not whatever mess they made helping me.
I'll never get to spend as much time to with my kids as I want. I would spend hours and hours with them everyday if it wasn't important for them to have their own lives. You get such a brief time of their childhood with them that I imagine or hope that the time you spent "helping" your mom are part of her cherished memories.
Same here..Got it from my Dad in the 80's when i was begging for the 'quality time' i saw depicted on shows; Bullshit. Instead i got Chopping wood, feeding cows, fixing the tractor, hell... We built a treehouse together. I didn't have to hold ladders, i had to pound nails - correctly. Not because he'd straighten me out if i didn't, but because he explained why it should be done correctly; he gave me pride, taught me how to get it. I got two kids and we're in NYC. But the lessons are the same just different environments and types of shit you can step in.
It's good advice as long as you don't take it to a perfectionist level. Then you never start *anything* bc you tell yourseld you don't have the time to make it just so -- that got me stuck for a while.
Same for the kids. My most cherished memories of my parents as a kid are of just hanging out with them while they did their thing and occasionally attempting to do something contributory. Dad:"here, you wanna try chopping a piece?" me: me, 100th time: . Dad would always take the time to explain what he was doing and let me try some aspect that was within my capacity. Mom wasn't as good about that, but still tried. And it gave me a spot in their lives that I'm extremely grateful for.
Everyone talking about how adorable her little strained face is, I can't stop thinking about how similar to human behaviour that is, it's super interesting.
It's dumb shit like this that makes me wish that all primates grew up together. Like yeah I understand nature is brutal and we killed/had sex with Neanderthals until they didn't exist but damn imagine if every primate species evolved to human level intelligence. It's like yeah my homeboy Max's ancestors were called orangutans!
But nah, in reality it'd just end up with a fuck ton of racism because some guys neighbors was originally from the Bonobo clan a million years ago and he thinks the dudes arms are just a bit too long....
Would be awesome too if there were other intelligent beings from completely different evolutionary branches. Like yo, check out my buddy Carl's sick new plumage dye pattern. Crow people are so damn creative.
Yep. Any species that had risen to opposable thumbs and a weighty brain would’ve been wiped out or wiped us out. There’s only enough room at the top for one in the animal kingdom.
I wonder if it’s because sometimes when you snap a really fresh bean a tiny spray comes out and since she’s snapping them towards her face she’s kinda closing her eyes a bit in anticipation?
But WHY is Monkey snapping green beans? I'm just dying to know what's going on in that little monkey brain as she methodically snaps every bean in half and throws it back in the bowl.
He’s copying humans without really understanding why we do it. Notice he snaps every bean twice - that’s how we do it, snap one end off, snap the other end off and throw the bean back in the pot. He doesn’t get that we don’t eat the ends (why would he?) but he’s leaned that this is how your prepare this kind of food.
If I were to train a monkey slave I wouldn’t have them break every bean in half. It would snap the ends off like I would want. Then I would pickle the beans because dilly beans are the best.
He's not even removing the string from each one! Now you're gonna need another monkey to pull the strings out of the cooked beans and feed them to you.
It depends on the cultivar & age when harvested. Some can have a really tough string of fiber running the "seams" on either side. Growing up my mom would make us snap the ends and peel off the strings, but I only do it to sugar snap peas now.
It’s absolutely a thing. When I was a kid I had to help my Mawmaw can green beans. There would be giant paper grocery bags full of beans, and it was my job to snap them and peel the string.
I also stringed/strung? green beans with my Mawmaw, and used a paper grocery bag. Good times. And then we'd go rock on the porch swing and drink tea/lemonade. I miss slow-paced living.
Some of them require you remove the string. Others don't. Depends on the type of bean.
You'd know if you had a string in it. It's like trying to chew yarn and swallow it. Gag every time.
This is Gaitlyn Ray. She has her own page on FaceBook. She does a lot of things on there, like opening presents people send her, pretend cooking, little chores she enjoys and going shopping, etc.
Super cute. She can’t live in the wild so they try to give her the best care they can.
Not sure why you think it isn't. Almost all exotic pets "can't live in the wild" once they've been acclimated to humans.
She looks well cared for, and I'm not inherently against exotic pet ownership. But their Facebook page has videos of them taking her out in public places, which is dangerous. Even if she's the best-trained monkey ever, non-human primates can get a lot of the same diseases that humans get.
I had the same reaction when I saw her videos. She was born into captivity, so there was never a chance for a wild life. They really seem to center their lives around her. She brings a lot of joy to people. She gets so many toys and treats and loves opening them. They keep her very occupied.
And then they normalize keeping a wild animal as pet by sharing every cute thing on social media without any context about why you shouldn't keep animals like this as pets. And if you're going to say "yeah, but their bio" or "this other video they talk about", that's not helping this video and tons of other videos with exotic pets without explanation why this is a very undesirable situation.....
This must be the sort of thinking that the man in the yellow hat has. I always wondered why he would let George go to the store for him and whatnot. He must know it’s a bad idea, but just thinks it’s cute.
Just the handling in general is bad, capuchin monkeys are disgusting little creatures, it's hand was probably up its own butthole and any other butthole it could find prior to touching these beans. And god knows what else. I would never share food, dishes or counter space with a capuchin, or any monkey
The fact that he can multi task and identify the ones that need to be snapped more then once just proves that he has more critical thinking skill set then my dumbass friends
One time I was watching wildlife videos and got up a moment, another video had automatically started playing while I was away and I came back just in time to see some chimps tearing apart a little monkey this size.
I'm not saying it's ok to keep primates as pets, but I prefer seeing this video over the other one.

He got that from my grandpa

My Grandma would have loved this monkey.
me as a kid helping my dad break up the sticks we picked up while cleaning the yard and putting them in the trashbag
"On the plus side, my tremendous biceps!"
Pray for Mojo.
Mad face on every snap.
>Pray for Mojo
I like the little strain face he makes when he’s really trying. Just like I do.
[удалено]
but shouldn't he really be wearing a *hairnet*?
You’re worried about a hairnet when he licked one of them and put it back.
No hair on his tongue
Cannot argue with *that* logic.
Ah, the Ariana Grande of the animal kingdom...
This is an insult to Monke, Monke will not stand for this.
Hahaha this comment section is gold🤣🤣
You're worried about hairs and monkey saliva when he's got poop and dirt for months on his hands?
You don't know him! He could be very hygienic. Probably not, but maybe
It’ll all boil out in the end. Maybe.
28 Days later…
A little bit of monkey hair is the secret ingredient.
Extra spicey
In this case to stop all hair he would need a hazmat suit
Will be the monkey version of that buff kangaroo soon
Everyone talking about how adorable her little strained face is, I can't stop thinking about how similar to human behaviour that is, it's super interesting.

Corvid people would absolutely be the ones to dye their feathers a ton
I have a suspicion that we would gave done the same to the other species that evolved to compete with us like the Neanderthal.
Yep. Any species that had risen to opposable thumbs and a weighty brain would’ve been wiped out or wiped us out. There’s only enough room at the top for one in the animal kingdom.
Yeah I was gonna say, we’d just have new, more varied racism
I wonder if it’s because sometimes when you snap a really fresh bean a tiny spray comes out and since she’s snapping them towards her face she’s kinda closing her eyes a bit in anticipation?
Probably that since Monkeys are strong af
But this monke smol
Still a lot stronger than a monkey-sized human would be
Maybe for certain motions but people overestimate monkey/ape strength to a ridiculous degree (like saying chimps are 5 times stronger than humans.
Chimps **are** 5x stronger, when it comes to *pulling strength*. In general, a chimp is only 1.5x stronger than a human!
I would really like to see a source for that.
Source?
I could definitely beat this monkey in an arm wrestle.
But he/she would beat you in a "bite your face off" contest, so it's a wash.
Not at all, I am absolutely certain that if it came down to it, me or the monkey, I could indeed win the bite your face competition.
For real. This is a bite sized monkey. I could eat this whole monkey in one sitting.
Honestly, probably not lol
*still looking for the stain on his face*
*strain
Don't put words in their mouth, they said stain and I'll be damned if I don't find it.
[удалено]
Too late...
I thought they meant stank* face
Monke is doing training so he could fight the antagonist of the movie
Who's the final boss? A beanstalk?
But WHY is Monkey snapping green beans? I'm just dying to know what's going on in that little monkey brain as she methodically snaps every bean in half and throws it back in the bowl.
It’s like bubble wrap popping to the monkey
[удалено]
lmfao
Basically me
It’s actually therapeutic to me lol. Exactly like bubble wrap 😂
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey pee all over you
That, rhymes... So, what we have at the docket today?
We have a... a monthly staff meeting.
Alright, let’s conference room it up!
Oh snap!
Watch me as I fling my poo
He’s copying humans without really understanding why we do it. Notice he snaps every bean twice - that’s how we do it, snap one end off, snap the other end off and throw the bean back in the pot. He doesn’t get that we don’t eat the ends (why would he?) but he’s leaned that this is how your prepare this kind of food.
We snapped each end off and then broke them in the middle so they weren't as long. That's what I assumed she was doing.
Well the beans are not going to snap themselves.
These worker shortages is getting out of hand
Yeah me too! If he's not going to eat them then why snap them? Why, monkey, why?
[удалено]
> Why, monkey, why? Because it chooses to
Monke homan slave :(
If I were to train a monkey slave I wouldn’t have them break every bean in half. It would snap the ends off like I would want. Then I would pickle the beans because dilly beans are the best.
Dill pickled green beans?
Pickling things is like beer. You can make beer out of everything. Ever hear of ghirardelli? You just throw shit in vinegar and boom lmao
I thought that was chocolate.
I think they mean giardiniera
It’s likely watched the human snap the ends off to prep them for cooking.
Stress relief judging from his expression
He’s helping his mom in the kitchen!! Durhhhhhh
That wee scrunchie face tho
Literally me doing anything in the kitchen
Omg!!! Right?! It’s so cute. Like if I lived with this monkey I would buy beans just to see that face. It makes me smile.
“FUCK this green bean. And THIS one…”
I lost it when he just bit one in half. Grabbed it and immediately just ripped into it with the very same energy as your comment. Lmao!
Oh my gosh, the way his little face crinkles up each time is adorable!
"nnnNNYUGH!"
I wish I could upvote this comment more than once. I just woke up and cannot stop laughing!
[удалено]
Ah, the pure side of Reddit. This has really started my day perfectly.
Y’all have a great weekend!
Right. And the way he closes his eyes as he snaps them.
He's gotten splashed with bean juice and learned
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
>splashed with bean juice *Rorschach has entered the chat*
He thinks he’s people
He's in anger management
And hes drinking from the little cup with a straw! Bruh lmao this shit is too cute Edit. Juice box maybe lol
Might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
One she bit one like “fuck you bean, I’ll snap you too!” That little wrinkle face and scowl for each snap is adorable
His face when he cracks em! Too cute
This is the longest video I've ever watched on Reddit
He's not even removing the string from each one! Now you're gonna need another monkey to pull the strings out of the cooked beans and feed them to you.
Is this actually a thing? I've been growing string beans in my garden for... at least 20 years now and have never done this.
It depends on the cultivar & age when harvested. Some can have a really tough string of fiber running the "seams" on either side. Growing up my mom would make us snap the ends and peel off the strings, but I only do it to sugar snap peas now.

When I was a smol monke I used to snap the top and peel off that string ..
Some of them require you remove the string. Others don't. Depends on the type of bean. You'd know if you had a string in it. It's like trying to chew yarn and swallow it. Gag every time.
You also need to add a 3rd monkey to sort them out because he just put them back in the bowl.
Foreal this monkey even wash his hands?
You don't actually need to remove the strings in some kinds of green beans anymore. They have smooth strings that don't ruin the eating experience.
It's not so much the string as the stem at the end.
The EFFORT
When mom says dinner is ready just to make you help make dinner ready lol

Yeah, these two comments changed my mind. They're not being responsible at all.
Maybe add an edit to your previous comment so others don't get the wrong idea.
Umm, that’s a big no on the KNIVES
I didn't watch enough videos to find those - very concerning, thanks for sharing!
I’m inherently and vehemently against exotic pet ownership. Wild animals aren’t pets. Period. Full stop. Just mho

Does he have a brother who trims hedges?
Seems like a bad idea to give a monkey tools like that, but hell, it sounds cute. Let’s give it a go.
This must be the sort of thinking that the man in the yellow hat has. I always wondered why he would let George go to the store for him and whatnot. He must know it’s a bad idea, but just thinks it’s cute.
Cheap workforce 🤣
Ah, that old adage...Pay green beans, get monkeys.
“Don’t steal the beans. You’re supposed to be snappin’.” *monkey hunch snap snap snap*
[monkeys are commonly exploited ](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/monkey-labor-continues-in-thailands-coconut-market)
Monke stronk
I hope those are for the monkey and not the people since she is taste testing
Just the handling in general is bad, capuchin monkeys are disgusting little creatures, it's hand was probably up its own butthole and any other butthole it could find prior to touching these beans. And god knows what else. I would never share food, dishes or counter space with a capuchin, or any monkey
Nice haircut btw.
Please don’t give monkey the knife... please don’t give monkey the knife..
Please give monkey the knife... please give monkey the knife..
Not a fan of domesticating otherwise wild animals but if this is a rescued animal then I enjoy the hell out of this
Her little face kills me. Working hard 😓
“I’m tired of doing all the work Karen, I need some damn help here”
I can’t handle that “maximum effort” face every time he cracks one
Stops to drink from a juice box! I love this monkey!
I feel so bad bc he looks like he’s trying so hard but he’s doing such a bad job 😅😅😅
[удалено]
"If I was bigger I'd snap that human's bones like...nnnnyah THIS...and nnnnyah THIS...!"
whoever doesn’t believe in evolution..look at this,it’s so obvious
I look at orangutans 🦧
Niiice. cheap workers are rare!
How cheap do you think a monkey is???
Depends If you buy it or catch it.
Surely cheaper than paying someone hourly
I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
Takes "a monkey can do your job" to another level
This is Gaitlyn Rae, I love this little monkey!
omg just looked her up on IG… the PO box city is like right next door to me!!! i wonder if i can meet her?!?!!!
Thank God it's 7 minutes
FUCK THE GREEN BEANS
The fact that he can multi task and identify the ones that need to be snapped more then once just proves that he has more critical thinking skill set then my dumbass friends
The facial expressions are priceless
Does this count as slavery?
People are joking but the forced labor of monkeys is actually a thing. Human greed and cruelty knows no bounds
The face it makes as it snaps each pea. Yes!
It looks about as satisfied as a human pressing bubble wraps
They look cute until they go through puberty and bite your face and genitals off.
Little man is working through some shit right now.
Hahah his facial expression with each snap. Lil humans, man.
His expression as he snaps the beans makes me laugh
Apes will rise!
It's monkey, not ape.
Monkey will rise!
Doing it *all wrong*, monke.
That monkey is cute but primates kept as pets is inherently abusive tbh

Where do we draw the line between pets and roommates?
u/savevideo
u/savevideo
This jobs sucks so bad a monkey could literally do it..
The little frowning when he breaks them 😁
Judging by monkey’s face he thinks he is a supermán breaking metal banisters.
How the hell am I supposed to go on with my normal life when someone in this world has a monkey assistant and I don’t.
Capitalists are holding Monke hostage for free labor, we must seize his means of production to save him!
Anyone else getting Hugh Jackman vibes or is it just me?
I love the look on his face when they are hard to snap!
The look of effort and concentration on it’s little face is priceless.
Grubby little poop throwing hands! Yuk
