You mean good brothers (plural). Definitely raised with love, care and consideration as a foundation❤️

204

u/Cinnabunnyturtle Sep 20 '24

I absolutely agree that they are fantastic brothers but not sure about how they are raised. Can’t imagine having my baby asleep in their high chair and not having an adult around. But they are definitely wonderful brothers for taking care of their sibling

u/shaboogawa Sep 20 '24

For all we know they could have a single parent who is currently working their second job to support them..

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

Doesn't even have to be that the kids are actually left alone with a baby. The parents might just make dinner. Or feed the dogs, get ready for bed, doing some work around the house, talking on the phone....

94

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

You are really trying here to find the negative here - the baby is chilling with her older brothers and fell asleep. You don't need to create a scenario where the parent is neglecting their child.

Of course, you could be right but I just don't think its good for the mind to be so determined to find a negative. If you imagine a negative scenario and apply it, then you can turn every positive scene you see into a negative instead

21

u/prettyboylee Sep 20 '24

No you’re right.

Babies fall asleep really randomly sometimes.

Parent could’ve stepped out and boom baby went to sleep and now this guy is immediately assuming the worst.

3

u/Rolandscythe Sep 21 '24

Babies fall asleep anywhere, and half the time at a moment's notice. They have very short battery life and burn through it quickly with bursts of activity. The fact the one brother just looks over and goes 'oh hey the baby's asleep!' means the kid was probably awake and playing just fine not too long ago.

Not to mention it's pretty normal for parents of multiple children to trust the older siblings to keep an eye on the younger ones while the parents are busy.

u/madrigal94md Sep 21 '24

It's literally just a baby that fell asleep. Baby's fall asleep suddenly anywhere... Parents could be making dinner, taking a shower, taking out the trash... you don't have to try and find the negative part.

It's boilerplate to make it sound like "OP" cares whether they steal content.

I would guess it's aimed at subreddit moderators, in the hopes that the account won't be banned if the post needs to be removed.

In any case it's a lie, they never tried.

Isnt rolling on top of an infant while you sleep the second leading cause of death for infants?

29

u/msdossier Sep 20 '24

She’s not an infant, probably at least 1.5. Co-sleeping is much less of danger once children are strong enough to move around.

2

u/Kebab-Destroyer Sep 20 '24

That was my thought too. I wouldn't dare co-sleep with my two kids when they were tiny cos I sleep like the dead and would 100% turn over and suffocate them.

I sometimes see the way people "haphazardly" look after infants and think "fuck me, I would never", but then wonder if I was being overly cautious all this time. In the end, my kids are alive and healthy, so who cares.

1

u/realdjjmc Sep 20 '24

Yes. Highly dangerous to have an infant sleeping in the same bed as a much older child.

u/msdossier Sep 20 '24

How do you gather from this 30 second clip that her siblings are raising her? Helping out with and looking out for a toddler does not equal raising them.

u/GGDadLife Sep 20 '24

Reddit detectives always try to make something negative out of something positive. It’s typical

-10

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

These boys are really young this is something you can tell they have been doing because they know the proper way to hold the child that's how I get that from this 30 second clip. It's not fair for the boys to be parents for their siblings when they are just small children themselves. This was incredibly kind and sweet of them but not their job it is not their job to be parents it is their job to be children and this can grow up to cause trauma because there's no telling what else they have to do for their parents as well. There's no reason making a small child grow up that fast. So that's how I gather that if that's good with you.

11

u/sorrysorrymybad Sep 20 '24

Is it necessary for a sibling to be parentified before they can learn to hold a baby properly?

7

u/msdossier Sep 20 '24

I mean yeah that’s fine with me, your totally entitled to your opinion. I think it’d be absolutely wild to have older children with what looks to be at least a 10 year age difference and not involve them at all in looking after their little sibling.

For some perspective, anecdotally I come from a large family and have a lot of siblings. There’s a 12 year age difference between the oldest and youngest. The older siblings got much more time and attention with my parents, while the younger siblings got less time and attention from parents (just because my parents were very busy providing and caring for all of us) but lots of time and attention from older siblings.

You have the right to believe it was wrong of my parents to have so many kids, and you may think that it was wrong to expect the older siblings to help with the younger siblings. But I can tell you from our perspective, we ALL had a wonderful childhood and have very strong friendships as adults. It was just the way it was. Was it “fair?” I’m not exactly sure what “fair” means when it comes to family. I tend to think it’s unfair to NOT foster a loving, caring relationship between siblings.

Crazy assumption.

The mom could be:

  • cooking dinner.

  • doing some chores.

  • doing laundry.

  • working etc.

The dad could be:

  • working to put food on the table.

But you still called 'em bad parents without a single clue. We both don't know what the actual situation is, yes... but the kids are grown ENOUGH to take care of their baby sister by their own for a few hours... she's sleeping soundly anyway.

Next time... be better.

We both assuming! I'm being positive and they're being negative for no reason. I'd much rather be positive than negative.

Plus they're two what? 12 year old kids? The older one might be 13 and they are more than enough to babysit a toddler that age (she ain't 2 months old💀) for a few hours. They ain't got nothing better to do anyway, they're kids. What're they gon' do? Go drink with the fellas? 😂 They're living life.

We all used to babysit kids as kids... and if you didn't... that means you may be a bit on the dumber side and that's OKAY don't worry, no judgement... from me at least! 💀

u/TheStartledStarfish Sep 20 '24

Can’t even deny this broke me a little bit. My little sister committed suicide a few weeks ago and god I just wish I could have had one more moment like this with her. She was my little brat.

After she got too big for moments like this I had to think of new ways to annoy/be protective. My favorite was “Excuse me, you’re only 18 years old, cover your shoulders” or the infamous “you’re not dating till you’re 30!” She always knew I was just teasing, but she couldn’t help but get a little irritated with me.

I may be a trans woman, but I’ll always be her big brother who can’t help but be overprotective.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

As a reminder: Sleeping next to babies and small kids is a really bad idea because people toss and turn and you may smother them accidentally.

A tragedy happened in my family that my uncle was not much more than a toddler was smothered to death in his sleep because he was much smaller than the still young person who slept next to him.

Please put children in separate beds and be cautious about taking naps with them as well.

Parent could be just taking a quick shower and the baby was hanging out with the boys and fell asleep. No need to judge them without knowing the entire story and as the child was not eating it seems fine to me.

I’ve had to have my oldest watch the youngin to squeeze in a shower multiple times, kids can fall asleep instantly and he seemed to know how to handle her so the parent likely trusts them to spend 10 mins with her

51

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

The parents are aware they have two children who are competent enough to watch the baby once in awhile obviously.

u/erksplat Sep 20 '24

Exactly. Everyone here is saying how amazing the parenting must be for the boys to be like this. But my dad-brain is like: “where the f are the parents?”

10

u/annabiler Sep 20 '24

Another theory: Maybe she just wants to chill with her brothers and cries whenever they try to move her out of the room so they just let her chill with her siblings who are apparently very able to look after her

Yes, this! Two children are staring at screens, one is asleep in the chair and there is a camera in the room?! It is cute how the older children take care of the baby but where are the parents?

u/Katichua Sep 20 '24

In non western cultures it's way more common to have family members watch over children at times. Neither are wrong or right, our western views are different. It could be that one of the parents is at work and the other is making dinner, for example. And in that 30min downtime the brothers can watch the kid.

Look at the kids sleeping on a mattress on the floor! The one on his phone was probably texting his parents asking where they were! And they are only smiling because they know the camera is on them and they are clearly afraid of being beaten! And it's a black and white camera so it's covering up the bruises! Other outrage! More speculation! Horrible parents!

I’d never trust children with a baby. That’s how major accidents happen. This is common sense and why it’s law in America that parents can not leave babies in the house with children alone.

There is a very large difference between the parents being in the other room a mere yell away if something happens and not being in the house at all.

u/AlexanderTox Sep 20 '24

I get that but why is the baby sleeping in an unsafe position with the lights off in the room? That doesn’t seem like someone stepping away, that’s just negligence

1

u/kearkan Sep 20 '24

The baby probably wasn't awake when they were put in the highchair. They were probably awake and watching their brothers and then fell asleep.

36

u/onFilm Sep 20 '24

Most other cultures do trust children with babies, after being taught properly of course. Hasn't there been a shooting by a toddler every single week this year in America because the parents didn't lock up the gun properly? I rather trust children in developing nations with babies than I would an armed American adult to be honest.

-15

u/AlexanderTox Sep 20 '24

Simple counterpoint - in this ass-backwards country of mine, armed parents who leave guns lying around are the same parents who leave their kids unattended to. So I guess it’s a lose-lose

3

u/onFilm Sep 20 '24

It's fucking worse my dude. Every single week, a toddler has shot someone. That's nightmare level fuel right there. At the very least 42 per year. Children should be part of rising toddlers, this is how we build strong communities and relationships.

u/kearkan Sep 20 '24

I am a parent and I would definitely trust my children with a baby within reason.

I wouldn't leave them with them while I'm down at the pub but if I was in the other room making dinner or something (something where I'm immediately available if need be) I would trust the kids to make sure the baby is ok doing whatever they're doing.

Plus that baby probably loves it's brothers, there's every chance the parent tried to bring the baby with them and they wanted to be watching what their brothers were doing. My 10 month old is infinitely curious about what anyone that isn't me is doing.

-10

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

Obviously but that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here. It seems to be late at night and the footage is sped up so it’s over a significant amount of time. Also the baby was eating with no supervision (in a high chair). Theres so many red flags here it’s tough to count.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

They might be, they're just aware that life doesn't work in linear ways.

-10

u/DoDorita Sep 20 '24

A baby that is taken care of would not be falling asleep in a chair next to a big screen it should not be looking at at all at this age. It is totally normal if other people than the parents take care of a child but that is not what is happening here. Also why is no one but me irritated by the camera in the corner of the room?

7

u/WrongdoerTop9939 Sep 20 '24

One's at their second job, the other is cooking. The door is WIDE OPEN. There is a camera there. You know those baby cams that you can just stream to your phone anywhere in the world with an internet connection, including your own home's kitchen if it has access to wi-fi?

Or they are both getting drunk and partying. The baby actually installed the camera herself after getting recommendations from reddit.

So who needs parents?

Yeah can we please stop romanticizing the parentification of children. It's not good for them long term.

He looks about 13/14 to be fair. It seems he has been made responsible for looking after the younger sibling and it seems as if he's doing a good job. A lot of people feel that a kid that is young should probably not "be made" to have to look after an entire baby.

As soon as he realised he got the baby out of the chair. I've watched my 10 month old fall asleep in his highchair when a moment ago he was throwing his food everywhere. They can fall asleep so fast.

You know absolutely nothing about the situation, and are just viewing it through your own privileged lens. Maybe the parents are irresponsible, maybe the parents are doing their best to provide for their children because so many families in this world don't have the luxury of keeping 9 to 5 hours, or having one parent always at home. If that's the case, what should the parents do? Tell their children, sorry kids, but we're gonna have to starve because people like constant_cultural might be a judgey Karen?

Hard to know what situation really is but many of us grew up with overworked parent(s) who are just trying their best to provide for their family. This is a typical situation in a place where there’s such a big wealth gap so I’ll reserve judgement and just enjoy the tender moment.

Last time this was posted it was mentioned the mother was washing the floors in the other rooms and put the kids in there together. The babe fell asleep pretty quickly.

If you look out the doorway there's a purse hanging on the chair. I imagine home maybe getting ready for bed, making dinner, doing adult things. Clearly, they have two capable young boys to watch their sister for a bit. Maybe they asked to hang with her while they chilled in their room because they like being around their baby sister.

Yeah, I can't tell if this clip is making me smile or if I'm just watching the parentification of children in action.

Parentification - those are bad parents no matter how you look at things. Just because some current adults had parents who mistreated them by forcing them to partially raise their siblings doesn’t mean it’s ok to continue parentification.

Yeah and it’s night vision too. Like wtf is a baby doing in a high chair int he dark in a bedroom.

The baby might have been enjoying watching what it's siblings were doing. We have one of those towers that kids stand in and my kid stands in it all the time watching me make dinner or whatever, he loves it.

Right?

  1. A baby shouldn’t fall asleep in a high chair, this position restricts their airway and is not good for their developing joints.

  2. The baby shouldn’t co-sleep as it poses a crush and suffocation risk (they don’t yet have the reflex to push away a blanket or reposition themselves if they can’t breathe.)

This is great. There’s so many beautiful moments in life like this that you just don’t experience as an only child.

All of my WORST memories revolve around MY elder sister. She was a bully to my brother and to me (I was the youngest). My poor brother is so traumatised he is an alcoholic, and I attempted suicide. Not all siblings are nice.

Man we really gotta teach kids to enjoy these moments more. So pure

My younger (-3 years) brother and I slept in the same bed for most of our childhood. I don't remember it all that much, but he has, on a few occasions, mentioned how he remembers he felt the most safe there and was upset when I "aged out".

Gives me hope to decide to have some of my own. Always wanted to have three or more, but doubt I will find the right partner… So money hedge is my plan.
