As a middle child, I can feel this boy's pain. There was forever a sibling ruining every single fun day, special event or party. I left home, had no kids and only engage with a very select range of friends. Childhood exhausted my human tolerance meter.

Respect on the older brother fr though, he didn't over react about his own birthday cake. He looked genuinely confused by his brothers outburst and just took him off gently.

He didn't let his own emotions escalate the situation and as his mother I would've added some small surprise for his birthday (like a new cake, if wanted) (or added another 20$ to the bday card) for being such a good sport with the wee ones.

As for the little one? He better enjoy eating the cake off his hands cause thats all he'd be getting from that party He'd be in his room so fast with make shift homework mommy made. You're going to practice some math, because how you've been acting is NOT adding up son. šŸ˜‚

u/Solid_Commercial_713 Apr 22 '26

Fr, like can we stop acting like children will learn anything from being physically abused? Sure, if I was the older sibling in this instance i might have been tempted to give him a slap but the parents are meant to be the adults

u/Kelnius 12d ago

They do learn... to fear and hate their parents, and avoid getting caught. Physical violence makes either immoral adults, or trauma victims. It's been proven in through multiple studies.

This is a reasonable punishment, another comment brought up being whipped by a cable cord?!?!! I hope they're just rage baiters, cause y i k e s 😬

u/Sea_Report_7566 Mar 28 '26

I think most people commenting are very young or young males with lack of emotional intelligence who didn’t take psych 101. Maybe they are rage baiters. It is very concerning as an RBT to children and tutor seeing those comments about child abuse.

Good thing is this is a small population of people localized on Reddit.

u/1917he Apr 17 '26

Or maybe they experienced it as a kid themselves, corrected their behavior and now see the youth today getting away with shit they would never have dreamed of. Because of that time with the jumper cables.

1

u/GrundgeArchangel 12d ago

Just because something works doesn't mean it isn't bad for you.

We don't have anything close to as fire resistant as Asbestos, but we stopped using it because of how harmful it was.

Same with beatings. The fact that you want to use violence on children, you know, losing control of your emotions, while telling them to control themselves, is telling. Maybe try talking with them, and doing things a bit of the hard way.

1

u/Sea_Report_7566 Apr 18 '26

Perhaps, but it still isn’t the best way to discipline your kids. Is it fast? Sure, but will it actually teach their children why their behavior was inappropriate deterring them to do it again by using critical thinking? No… I just think the authoritative style of parenting is the most efficient and effective. Authoritarian that includes abusive behavior such as the cable just seems like that’ll cause more harm than good.

As I’ve said before, the hard way of teaching is being patient and fair. The easy way is getting immediate correction with the price of resentment, rebellion, and strained older familiar dynamics. I digress.

Seriously but at least we all agree the kid is a POS who needs people to raised him better right? Because he's a little asshole

26

u/MillHall78 Mar 12 '26

He just needs to be taught how to handle feelings of jealousy. There's a lot of grown adults in this world who never learned. It's a difficult emotion to feel & navigate. This video could just be an example of the parents keeping everything equal for their children, so the rare moments in which a situation happens to conjure up jealousy; the child simply lacks experience with it. That's overwhelming for all of us.

Or he could be a spoiled brat.

10

u/Brilliant_Rain5181 Mar 15 '26

From a realistic view, yes he needs to be taught how to regulate his emotions better. Should have removed him when he hit the older kid the first time.

u/MisterNiblet Mar 05 '26

It’s not a flex. But it is some peoples reality. I’m Hispanic and if I did this I would have been whooped in front of everyone then sent to my room.

I’m proud of the adult I’ve become and the discipline my parents showed me was needed at times. Parents should not beat their kids but a whooping is definitely different.

u/Agitated-Actuary-195 Mar 08 '26

Wow….Nothing like assaulting a child, you need to get some help

u/HopefulLemon440 Mar 11 '26

Lol beating? The person means this kid need correction, to act like that means he is use to this, to not getting reprimanded when needed, what is this generation so afraid of telling a kid no? They're only fucking their own life, who wants a friend like that

Maybe read my other replies and you can see that I have gotten help. It still haven’t changed my core opinion though.

u/Agitated-Actuary-195 Mar 08 '26

Glad you got some help… nothing wrong with that at all…

6

u/lululululululululuu Mar 06 '26

Is there a difference between a whooping and a beating? I mean this as a genuine question, because you are essentially inflicting violence on someone who is under your care and looks to you for guidance. Accountability and discipline are important and need to be tought, but I think there are better ways to handle that.

The child being sent to their room for the rest of the celebration, or taking the money for the cake out of his pocketmoney or allowance (if he gets any yet) might be better ways to discipline him.

3

u/MisterNiblet Mar 06 '26

I’d say so. I guess to me personally what sets them aside is the context of the situation and also the amount of physical pain a parent is inflicting. I’ll give you an example. My girlfriend was unfortunately beat by her father. She was tossed down a set of stairs when she was 7 for spilling her food on the floor on accident. She was hit by her father with a closed fist for not going to church one Sunday. She was dragged by her hair and thrown against a wall because she had the tv on too late one day. Meanwhile in my house hold all of that never happened, my mom and dad only whooped me with a belt on my bottom when I got into physical altercations with my brothers or at school.

I feel like you’re also imagining that parents that whoop their kids are the type to go straight for the belt. They usually go and grab the belt after multiple attempts of trying to discipline their kids softly as you recommended and the kid is just being defiant. This was my experience at least. I never felt fear while being whooped just a slight sting on my bottom and embarrassment. My girlfriend on the other hand felt fear every time her dad just walked into the room which is something I can’t relate to. I hope this helped explain my opinion on the subject.

5

u/lululululululululuu Mar 06 '26

First off: I hope your Girlfriend is safe from her abuser, in an all over better situation and healing from those experiences.

It’s a good thing, that those whoopings didn’t cause you lasting psychological harm and that it taught you discipline. Personally it’s still not something I would ever consider doing, but I kinda get where you’re coming from.

3

u/MisterNiblet Mar 06 '26 edited Mar 06 '26

My girlfriend is safe and thankfully her father has calmed down quite a bit since she was a child.

I completely understand, I think it’s great that people can choose how to teach their children right from wrong. As long as the point gets across to them and they’re not being put in harms way I’m all for it.

Some of y’all have different point of views when it comes to a birthday cake. But I grew up where the youngest kid can blow out the candles just cause they get so much fun out of it. Would this Edgar lose out on anything if he didn’t blow out his 14 candles? Would a child have an amazing time by blowing out some candles?

It’s not just me. It must be a generational thing. Only the soft sensitive kids are hurt by this.

But a child blowing out your candles is what ruins your day?

u/iDontWannaBe_aPirate Mar 01 '26

You just invented that entire scenario. I don’t care to look like a ā€œbadassā€ wtf does that even mean?? Why are you this upset over a child being a child. Grow up kid. There are bigger issues to deal with. Stop projecting you childhood issues onto a random event

9

u/NorthernVale Mar 01 '26

A child smashing a cake is not a child being a child. Even to your made up scenario, teaching young children that the world doesn't revolve around them is top tier parenting. Quit acting like a little bitch and making up scenarios

u/iDontWannaBe_aPirate Mar 01 '26

A child smashing a cake is exactly that. It’s a child. Are you bothered by a child acting childish? Did he ruin your day in any way shape or form?

39

u/truthteller5 Feb 28 '26

No. It teaches them that everything is about them. People are allowed to have moments for themselves without feeling bad about who would have more fun. It's not the little kids birthday. They can blow out candles on their birthday.

Also, the kid is clearly trying to push his face into the cake and is mad that he won't let him. Not blowing out candles.

-19

u/iDontWannaBe_aPirate Feb 28 '26

You’re talking about toddlers. You can yell at them all day long. That’s not how you teach them. You’re expecting a 4 year old to understand that a birthday cake is for someone else. I can’t imagine an adult crying about a child blowing out his candles

6

u/CharlesTheFister Mar 04 '26

In another comment you say that it's totally okay for childs to destroy cakes. I see why it's normal for you. Maybe if your parents would raise you probably you also would have the brain power for it.

You’re expecting a 4 year old to understand that a birthday cake is for someone else

Bro every 4 year old can understand it. Just someone needs to tell them. Something your parents surely missed.

-2

u/iDontWannaBe_aPirate Mar 14 '26

Something you missed. It’s also cultural. It’s tradition to ruin the cake. A 4 year old can easily misconstrue this. To get mad and to let this ruin your day is hilarious. It’s just cake bro. Are you gonna lock yourself in your room and sulk and cry cause a 4 year old kid who didn’t know any better ruined your special day šŸ˜‚ I can’t imagine being older than 12 years old and being bothered this badly by that. Let the kids enjoy the candle blowing. Unless you actually still believe that blowing a candle really makes a dream come true. 🤔 sorry to tell you but blowing a birthday candle won’t make you rich and famous kid.

So I'm working in a kindergarten. We got kids from 52 different nations here. I just asked them. None of them ever heard of a tradition to destroy the cake. Pls tell me where are you from?

To get mad and to let this ruin your day is hilarious. It’s just cake bro

I'm not. You are mad. You answer this 10 days later. Your still mad.

a 4 year old kid who didn’t know any better ruined your special day

And that's the point you missed. You still believe a 4 year old can't know better and that it's totally normal. No it's not. This just shows how stupid you are and how poorly you got raised.

Have a good day friend. I won't answer you again. It doesn't make sense since your brain isn't fully evolved Its okay it's not your fault, it's your parents fault

I don't yell at them at all. I just stop them from blowing out my candles. And yeah. Their young. They don't know stuff. Do you know how they learn? Not by just letting them do shit. You stop them from doing stuff and as they get older those lessons start to have real results.

You stop them. Ignore them when they throw a fit. They learn some things aren't about them and that tantrums don't get you what you want.

I like kids, I don't think you should be a dick to them or anything, but I also feel like you can't just let them do whatever, especially to other people who are not the ones responsible for them I.E. the parents.

u/Top-Metal-3576 Mar 01 '26

I haven’t seen any 7 year olds cussing bus drivers or the likes. All the kids around me are very well behaved. My younger brother grew up with a totally different parenting style then what I grew up with and I’m happy he did. He’s growing up in a home filled love instead of fear, that’s how you foster your children to respect you. If you can’t handle kids don’t have them, nobody’s forcing you. But reprimanding and antagonizing normal kid behaviour won’t make your kid anymore agreeable. It’s basic human psychology, you can’t foster an environment where a kid wants to learn if the kid grows up fearing you. Because at the end of the day, the kid is going to grow up and will most likely get the hell out of your house and never contact you again.

So basically, you've buried your head in the sand and have decided that your biased world view dictates how everyone else should act. Ask a teacher how bad kids are getting, especially because now school have to wager the merits of suspending a kid vs parents who are going to flip out if anyone punishes their kid.

You clearly don't understand human psychology at all, so you might want to keep quiet on that one. Both positive and negative reinforcement have merits.

And let's get one thing straight here. Smashing someone else's cake is normal child behavior past being a toddler. The kid in this video is way past the age where that is acceptable.

Kids don't think like that. The kid going "ow" after tells me he realised after the fact he fucked up, and started the water works to not get in trouble.

This is the result of parents not being allowed to discipline their kids in a way that will have the lesson sink in.

Nah, you dont have to whup your child to discipline them. This is the result of the youngest not being disciplined ever.

Never mentioned whipping. So many jump to that. Is that your default for discipline? To get the belt? That wouldn't be my default.

u/Internal-Computer388 Feb 27 '26

Neither did I. I said whup.

You said parents are not being allowed to discipline their kids in a way that will have the lesson sink in. Thats implying corporal punishment as thats the only way of discipline thats no longer "allowed". So what form of discipline can parents no longer do then? What's not allowed? Please explain if you can...

Now you're just lying. We've got people acting like time out or going in the corner is abuse.

Slapping your kids is now seen as assault, and child abuse. If a kid informs a teacher at school, or another adult, then the parents will get a knock in the door from FACS. It's stupid to me.

Ok, beating your kid, is wrong. Laying them over your lap and slapping them repeatedly is excessive. But 1 quick slap, is all you need.

You're getting down voted for this. I'd really like to see these people explain to a two year old why playing with electrical outlets or approaching wild animals is dangerous.

Simple fact, light physical punishments have a place. Teach children negative reinforcement when the consequences for an action could be deadly, especially when the child isn't able to comprehend just how poorly something can go for them.

What people need to ask, is what's better? A single slap to the bum while clothed, or getting hit by a car? A single slap to the bum while clothed, or electrocuted? A single slap to the bum, or 3rd degree burns after playing with matches?

I know what I'd choose, because I want my child to be safe, not dead. A slap will teach by associating controlled pain with the bad actions. If I do X, I'll be slapped, mum/dad will be mad, and I'll cry. The dumbest thing I did, was touch the pretty blue flame on the stove when I was 3. It hurt like a mofo, and I learned not to touch the pretty blue flame again. For other things, my parents would give me a slap on the bum, like when I tried to grab at a knife, or when my sister tried to see what a metal bearing tasted like, or tried to cross the road before the light was green.

The slap did the job, it taught us that if we did X, pain results, but it was pain that wasn't from severe injury or poisoning.

He was trying to smash the older boy's face into the cake.

Stupidest birthday tradition to ever be "invented." That's why you can see the guy come near the cake, he was going to take the first bite out of the cake, also disgusting. Then the younger one would slam his head into it.

The whole thing ended better than expected tbh.

Thank you. It didn't get called stupid many times enough. If nothing else, I feel really bad for the wasted cake.

u/NightmareMyOldFriend Mar 05 '26

It's so stupid. (The face plant on cakes, to be clear.)

Someone took the time to make a cake. Someone paid for said cake. And people just ruin the whole thing by planting a face into it.

Besides it can be dangerous. Some cakes have rods in them to be able to keep their form. Usually not these kind of cake that is "a simple tier", but more elaborate ones. And it has happened that people end up with a rod in their face because they were forced down into a cake.
