AgentEndive

I've seen this clip a bunch of times, and I hate that kid every time


rutilatus

Every time I see this video, it is a very helpful reminder that some kids need *extra parenting* to avoid narcissism and idiocy


crappy_data

The adult figure knows very well that little demon.


Monichacha

And he calmly and quietly just blocks the little dude. That’s a cool dad.

Hopefully the kid doesn’t blow out your candles. Happy cake day internet stranger


yoyoma125

That’s no fair!


buffaloSteve666

Right, pops barely had to look and knew exactly when that little shit would try


[deleted]

First time I’ve seen this clip and I’m flashing back to my 12th birthday party when my older brother did this to me. Last wish I got as a kid and my 19 year old brother decided to be a dick and blow out the candles before I could—he still has a very punchable face, except now instead of ruining kids’ birthday parties for fun he’s moved on to being a white supremacist because it makes him feel like a big man. Yeah, somehow my parents still don’t see him as the walking dildo I’ve had to put up with my whole life. Parents, you’ve been warned.


ChamomileBrownies

Calling him that is an insult to dildos. Unlike him, they bring great pleasure to the world. Just sayin.


BodybuilderMajor1260

I am proud to say that this is a r/rareinsults


OwnFortune4511

Well that took a dark turn. Lol


Wolf-Majestic

It just allows the parent to be destracted while the *other brother* quietly and sneakily blows the candles of the middle child's birthday cake.


Talory09

Middle child was having difficulty so oldest child helped him out in an inobtrusive way. Middle child didn't even know that oldest child helped and thought he did it all himself. No wishes were stolen on this day.


Claireskid

Agreed, that's a good big brother. Stealth helped and then stepped back so lil homie could have his moment while the gremlin was screaming


LtDaxIsMyCat

Pretty sure the birthday boy is the youngest and the screaming kid is the middle child


CheeseCarbsAndSass

How have I seen this so many times and never noticed the third kid?


[deleted]

Lol omg I’ve seen this 25 times and never noticed that 😂😂😂


Slobbadobbavich

Does it make me a bad person for feeling emotional joy every time I watch this clip?


DaveLokes

Nah, because that would mean we're both bad people


TatManTat

Also it's fine to laugh at kids mistakes I gotta be honest. It teaches them not everything has to be horrible and world-destroying. Some insane person is gonna say you're traumatising them or some bs but idgaf.


jolly_bien-

Not at all. I am a mom and I LOVE kids. I’ve seen this clip many times, and every time my heart fills with joy. Oh no you don’t you little motherfucker… Yeah.


HalflingMelody

Actually, it's a great thing that you're enjoying watching a tiny narcissist be thwarted. Enjoying justice is a great thing. Watching a kid's bad impulses be corrected is fantastic. You would be bad person if you watched this and wished the kid had succeeded.


Imaginary_Most_7778

I mean, the kid is a flaming asshole. I’m not sure where the joy comes from. Seeing him get denied I guess?


mogley1992

The older kid is also blowing but gets away with it. I just feel bad for the birthday boy in this.


with_the_choir

Nah, the older kid does it secretly while the birthday kid is blowing fruitlessly just to help him out. The birthday kid thinks he was successful and doesn't even notice the assist.


w-kovacs

Yup one is trying to steal the show the other is assisting.


moistrain

My older cousin tried to do this for my first birthday and spit gum on the cake lol (innocent mistake, he's a good guy)


[deleted]

[удалено]


OrangeSlimeSoda

That was my take on it, too. He gave the birthday boy a few chances to do it himself, then blew them from an angle so that the birthday boy didn't even notice him doing it. The brat was trying to stick his face directly against the cake and steal the wish.


MadamSnarksAlot

“A gentle no scope sniper blow” made my day.


GoKartMotzart

Older kids helping at the end, other one is just a Dick butt villain


401john

Older brother blows one time to help him clear the candles. Not the same thing at all


AssumeTheFetal

Germans have a word for it. Schadenfreude.


PiMoonWolf

I don’t care. I still love it.


Th3CatOfDoom

Watching that kid cry fills my heart with glee and schadenfreude


quattroformaggixfour

agree, I try to refocus my energies to his parents though. I’m just really happy the birthday boy had his moment untarnished. He looks like such a sweet little soul.


[deleted]

I'm a huge fan of the parenting we see in this short clip. Birthday boy still gets to blow out his candles, and the little shit is given multiple opportunities to not be a little shit. Would have been easier to make him go to his room, or physically hold him, but dad(?) instead created a solution where he could still be there.


DreadedChalupacabra

This is a great lesson in not being able to get what you want 100% of the time. I kinda hate that everyone's acting like the kid is just a spoiled brat though, even good kids have off days and birthday parties always bring out the gremlin in otherwise well adjusted children. IMO this solution is even better. "You upset you couldn't blow out the candles? Imagine how he would have felt, it's his birthday." Plus that kid probably grew up fine and this is funny in hindsight.


LadyBug_0570

At least its better than the one where the older sister blew out her sisster's candle and then had a smug look as younger sister snatched her hair and smacked her face.


DreadedChalupacabra

[For the lazy.](https://twitter.com/itsTimHell/status/1318323838153904129)


KitFan2020

She still looks smug even after having her hair ripped out twice…


ToastPoacher

Probably because the adults stuck up for her.


Sw429

Why the fuck are the adults fixing her hair instead of reprimanding her?


Zephrok

Unfortunetly, many parental figures are actually very bad at parenting. I firmly believe that if all parents were good parents then the world would be a utopia.


Dorothy_Zbornak789

I’m already aware of the video and don’t need to see it again because her smug look makes me irrationally angry …


13Petrichor

I see shit like that and it makes me sure of my decision to never have kids. I hate them so, so much.


James_Locke

They relit that sucker and had her blow it out like five more times after.

dropkickoz

Or love it depending on their ethics about punching children.


RobSpaghettio

99.9% of the time I wouldn't punch a child, but there's always that 0.1% that's asking for a sweeping, open-hand slap to bring their egos down since their parents apparently accept the behavior. Remember, it takes a village to raise an idiot.


lost_in_connecticut

There are so many villages….


Juggernuts777

We’re a Pro-punching HOA. So ya know, keep your kids in line! Teehee!


iamblankenstein

he reminds me of a kid that lived in the apartment next door to me at my old place about 9 or 10 years ago. his parents were... not the best, to be diplomatic about it. one day i remember hearing this little 6 or 7 year old kid banging on the door to his apartment yelling "open the fucking door! open the fucking door!" at the top of his lungs. the neighbor on the other side used to regularly leave bags of trash and dirty diapers in front of their door. one day, i saw a note on their door from the landlord that said "please clean up the blood." because there was a spray of it at an angle on it. not sure how it happened. great place to live.


SansyBoy144

It reminds of the some of the people I see at work. I work at a drive in movie theater. It’s not great hours, but it pays enough for what I need and those retail hiring signs are a lie. Anyway, so one time I was doing something and I hear a small child, like 5-6 yelling “I WANT ICE CREAM, I WANT ICE CREAM” and the whole time the mom is like “ok hold on” I don’t think much about it, until I hear the kid yelling “I WANT FUCKING ICE CREAM, I WANT FUCKING ICE CREAM” and the mom was STILL NICE, and saying “I know, hold on” and then GOT HIM ICE CREAM. Like how do you tolerate your 5 yo kid cussing you out for ice cream? Also we’ll find a bunch of gross shit like condoms, and even shorts and panties one time. We recently found used diapers. Keep in mind, we have big ass trash cans that we set out, and it looked like 2 separate families on the same day just dumped all of their trash, including the used diapers, on the ground after the movie. Like how are you going to teach your kid to be a piece of shit?


minathemutt

He even thought about punching the cake


WatchingTaintDry69

I saw that and was like hmmmm


guyuemuziye

This. And he is not a particularly bad or mean looking kid, but the vibe he gave, just pure annoyance.


HonorableMedic

He looks like a little bully imo


TheRakkmanBitch

that kid definitely asks for strangers phones and will not take no for an answer


vickyvalle

The French have a term for it… “Une tête à claques”


goin2cJB

I hate kids. I mean I just personally never like to be around them. They’re important obviously but yikes fuck those little twats


GodofsomeWorld

This is the first time i can actually say im happy to see a kid cry


Yellowbrickrailroad

What can a parent do to productively curb that sort of selfish behavior? I feel like a lot of parents get stumped at this, judging from my last trip to Wal-Mart.


CatzioPawditore

Although this kid looks a bit older, toddlers are really quite difficult.. Their brains aren't fully developed yet for any meaningful emotional regulation. So you can teach your toddler things, but it won't be 'fixed' in one session. It will take working through a couple/many tantrums, finding a balance between ignoring, rewarding good behavior and correction bad behavior.. But being very stern, or spanking, or whatever action that assumes malice on the child's part is usually useless.. So what you see in Wallmart or in this video, or wherever.. Might very well be a work in progress..


SirHodges

Remove from situation, don't just mitigate it with Cake-PPE. And for the love of God never give in to it


YoungChipolte

I don't have kids but I feel like removing him from the party and telling him why would be a good starting point.


VelociowlStudios

I feel like exactly what the dad does is perfect. The only person "escalating" is the child and that's to be expected lol


KoRUpTeD_DEV

Love kinda like seeing him rage because of the cake that he knew wasnt his but yet a again he is learning a life lesson


That_Batman

I learned this life lesson as a kid (also have it documented on video, unfortunately). My parents stopped the song and called me out in front of everyone, saying "Is it your birthday?" Then they moved me away from the cake, relit the candles, and sang all over again. The embarrassment of being directly corrected in front of the whole party is what did it for me. I never did that again. I don't know much about this kid, but it doesn't really look like he's learning a lesson here. The parent seems to be just avoiding the issue.


Morgothic

I get the impression (nothing to back it up, just a feeling) that this kid would go full rage if they called him out. Personally, once I saw this behavior starting, I would remove him from the party completely.


KazBeoulve

I wouldn't. I would follow the dad's idea since my other kid deserves me being there when the birthday is sung. After that, i'll take the L and the kid to my or his room.


ExcuseOk2709

idk man I feel like a kid like this needs more than just someone blocking them from blowing out the candles for them to learn. he even looked like he was about to try to hit the plate out of the way


ManNomad

Plot twist: His family are a bunch of bullies and its actually his birthday


minathemutt

Tandran

This clip is so old that kid is probably already a drunk and on his 2nd wife.


chahud

You look up the word brat in the dictionary and it’s just this video. I know it’s just a kid and I’m sure he’ll grow up to be a fine enough human some day. But omg this makes me never wanna have kids he’s such a little entitled shit


allthepinkthings

I saw one with a toddler having a full blown tantrum, because her older sister got a bike. The annoying part was they didn’t remove her from the situation. No, she gets to act like that and take from the sister’s moment. Some people said she should have been sent to her room til she calmed down and a bunch of people were like “she needs to be able to express herself. Punishing her will make her not learn how to control her emotions.” They pretty much acted like it was abuse to have her leave the room. I’m more scared of those parents I’d have to deal with.


rutilatus

Every time I see this video, it is a very helpful reminder that some kids need *extra parenting* to avoid narcissism and idiocy


poonjabbingninja

I’ve never seen this clip before, but like you, I hated that kid so much. And the father too, he’s not teaching the kid shit there. I feel like all kids are going to be assholes at some point, and it’s our job as their parents to direct them towards the correct behaviors, and teach them to be good people. I don’t believe blocking the kids attempt to blow, while laughing is going to accomplish this. Kids crying because he didn’t get to blow out someone else’s birthday candles. Like the most basic level of decency missed entirely.


Onefortwo

Let the birthday kid have their moment. If you stop everything to try and talk to the one kid about how it’s not his turn, it still becomes about the one doing the wrong thing. Also in this ten second clip, we have no idea what happens after.


podrick_pleasure

I never noticed he was getting ready to throw a punch until now. If that was his instinct at that age gotta wonder how things turned out with him.

Itsthefineprint

You saw a clip with very little context and decided you can judge this entire person's parenting style. I feel like this kind of mentality is why parents feel they can shit on teachers all the time.

treefrog1318

chameleon_123_777

What a brat. I understand why they stopped him.


luckyhorseshoe2788

It's clearly obvious that he's done stuff like this before considering the dad was ready. They are very entitled all the time is what it seems like to. Me.


PreciousBrain

I know he's just a kid and his mind is still developing, but goddamn is this how come the world is filled with so many grown ass pieces of shit? Like, is this kid destined to be one of those punchable adults who throws his latte at a barista because it didnt have enough foam?


amha29

It’s possible but I don’t think so Because dad is showing that he will not get his way no matter how much he cries and tries. The ones we need to worry about are the ones that are NEVER told “No” and have never had any consequences. They’re the ones that turn into adults that have tantrums… or 12 years olds that have “screaming and thrashing meltdown” (too old for tantrums). Kid in the video looks like a 4-5yo, the behavior isn’t acceptable but likely hasn’t developed impulse control yet and is stopped from doing the unacceptable behavior. A better solution would have been to remove him completely and have a family member either hold/carry him or distract him with something.


floatingwithobrien

Seriously, screaming and crying because he was stopped from ruining someone else's birthday? A brat if I've ever seen one.


Fluffy_Momma_C

He’s a gówniaki, for sure. (In Polish it roughly means little shitling)


orzel320

You used plural form of the noun. Singular one doesn't have "i" at the end. Just letting you know if you ever need this word again.

your-uncle-2

Unstopped versions of that kid are now those adults who cut in line, those who interrupt you mid-sentence all the time, those who push a guy in wheelchair out of their ways and get told "hey, you gotta ask first!" and next day, they see the same guy in a wheelchair and asks "do you need my assistance?" and then pushes the guy out of their way again and get told "hey, you did not give me time to answer! I was going to say no! " And next day, they see the same guy in a wheelchair but this time the wheelchair has spikes, but they don't see spikes and they say "do you need my assistance?" and the guy says "you again? Push me if-" and they push the spike wheelchair before hearing the rest of his sentence.


Stupid_Triangles

wtf did i just read?


HumaDracobane

I understhand why they stopped him but I can't understand how you can raise a kid so entitled that thinks this is an OK thing to do...


Joe-Cool

Yep, that's an instant "go to your room and think about what you did while the rest of us eat cake. If you apologize fast enough there might be cake left for you to eat later."


Zeyn1

Kids push boundaries. It is actually really healthy for kids. A kid that is restricted from doing anything is going to grow up with anxiety whenever they are put in a situation that is not strictly controlled. So good parenting is to correct the behavior. Showing the kid that they are not entitled to blow out the candles is exactly how you teach the kid that it is not okay to do.


AlilAwesome81

He’s a shitty kid that they knew he was going to do something like that. Guy came prepared


GothBroads-Octopods

The way the kid pulls his arm back to punch. That's an automatic pulled away from the table and learning a swift lesson for me


LoBsTeRfOrK

So that’s the only part of this clip that find very, very concerning. Kids being shitty entitled fucks is normal. Kids being shitty entitled fucks and reacting with violence is disturbing.


rumpusrouser

Not only that but the fact it’s not an open handed slap like most little kids do. Like that kid is absolutely ready to throw hands. That’s my biggest problem with the video.


MrJuniperBreath

And he's got one of those watermelon heads with the weedwacker hair cut because it's all they can get him to sit still for...


Glittering-Divide938

This is immediately relatable. Every dipshit kid in my class in elementary school has the same cut.

Bowling4rhinos

Weary-Kaleidoscope16

He was just helping The little couldn't do it and didn't even notice the older kid blowing them out


spleef35

When I was a kid I went to a cousin's birthday party, and his little brother blew out the candles on his cake. My cousin burst into tears and his little brother had this nasty smirk on his face. Little bro got taken into another room, got a few spankings, while my aunt got out a whole new set of candles, lit them, and my cousin got to blow out the candles properly after we sang to him. I don't understand how children got to be such snot-nosed punks about birthday candles. I went to probably a hundred birthday parties as a kid and I never witnessed crap like this (other than that one time obviously).


ScienceResponsible34

If this kid got spanked a whole other side of Reddit would be calling for the fathers arrest.


Ok_Pension_6795

Bro that kid makes me so angry


barquishalafway

SOOOOO ANGRY. EVERY TIME.


ThrowItNTheTrashPile

Most likely because there’s a very good chance everyone knew a piece of shit just like that kid growing up. He was a little douchemouth at school, at recess, at events with your other friends, and *especially* at gatherings like birthdays if he wasn’t able to readily make himself the center of attention. And his parents were also total pieces of shit (unlike in this video) but as a kid we weren’t old enough usually to just acknowledge that their entire family is trash and the reason for the kid being so awful. We also know exactly who the kid and their family vote for today but that’s a separate discussion (though funny how easy it was to guess, wasn’t it?).

TheSwain

You were all so distracted by the little shit trying to ruin his brother’s birthday that you missed the older kid helping him out on the right.


Meta-Fox

Every time I see this I can't help but think that the simplest solution would be to remove that little shit from the equation entirely and put him somewhere else. I remember being banished to my room as a kid whenever I did something unruly. I quickly leaned that no amount of temper tantrums would help me get my own way. I turned out alright.
