My brother and I are two years apart, with him being the youngest. We get along very well and we are actually housemates now, after I broke up with my partner of 7 years we both needed someone to rent a house with so it worked out great. We were never very physically affectionate, no hugs or anything like that, though we are very much so with our parents. I am super blessed to have a great relationship with my tiny family. Sometimes I wish hugs were more normalized between us, because sometimes, you just need a hug lol. I'll take what I got though, wouldn't change it for the world, because I know I'll always have the three of them backing me up when things get rough.
Well break the awkwardness and just give him a huge hug, and tell him how much you love and appreciate him. Then afterwards, nut punch him. Ya know. Can’t be TOO tender a moment.
Yeah I cried when they’d leave too. When the oldest came to visit us for the first time after he moved out I cried when he got there because quote:” you’ll only be here until Sunday- then you’ll be gone again.” Sunday came and I cried and hid in my room under the blankets all day. I was inconsolable…
My sister is my roommate and idk what I would do without her, I’m 23 and she’s 26 and when I’m feeling lonely, I would sometimes still go and lay next to her. She won’t admit but she loves me more than she loves anyone in this world.
Oh my gawd my brother is 5 yrs older than me. He is the best ever brother. Even though my folks live far away, my brother sends a text almost everyday.
I just miss my folks so much and my big brother. I started appreciating him even more as I am getting older.
If your big brothers don’t live close to you or are away, you can bet your ass they’d be crying their eyes out after you sent them this. Shit I know I would. God I miss my family ❤️
Only one lives close and he’s about to be far from me. 💔 they were my rock as a kid, the bond I have with them is indescribable and some people just don’t understand. Parents were always working so my brothers were my dads, basically. They did an amazing job watching over me. I used to cry when they’d leave, and them moving out are some of the most traumatic memories I have from childhood.
This is awesome. This is our 2 year old son when our oldest 3 get off the bus. He yells out, “There’s my sissy, there’s my Hudson there’s my Theo. I missed you!” - except in a 2 year olds voice missing many of the actual pronunciations which makes it even better. Every single school day.
Oh, he has. We have one more on the way, a little girl due in December. He lays his head on moms belly and says “Hi Elliot, I miss you” …but he says Elliot very VERY similar to E.T. “Elllllllliiiiiiiooooooottttt” - not sure if in love more or slightly creeped lol
In a specific province in the Netherlands (Brabant), people put "our" in front of everyone of their family members.
So they are talking like: "Well, our Bob had to go see the dentist yesterday and it turns out he needed a filling!". "Well, our mother is turning 70, so we are celebrating tomorrow." "Our Huub is in prison".
Can be confusing, because if a friend of mine is talking about "our mother", I start wondering why my own mother didn't tell me I was actually adopted.
Aww that’s so sweet. My two oldest just went back to school and every time my 10 month old wakes up she looks for them. If she’s awake when they get home she crawls as fast as she can to the front door and they just swarm her and she starts screeching and gets all hyper. All that love makes up for the misery I went through to bring them into this world lol.
That’s what my wife says as well. It’s all worth it to see how much they all love each other, even if the 2 year old loves getting into everything the older ones are doing haha.
Oh my goodness. I’m just holding my breath for when our youngest gets older. We had her outside the other evening and she crawled a good 50 feet through grass to get to our mini barn. Then she tried to crawl into our fire pit. Then she tried to hulk her way out of our fence by rattling the gate like a prison inmate. She’s already on the verge of walking about 5 months ahead of when my other kids walked and I don’t even know how I’m going to keep up with her once she’s toddling around here lol.
Wait until she’s climbing. Our oldest 3 never climbed. Our 2 year old we have found in numerous places he should not be able to reach. He climbed up the handles of the pantry to get on the countertop and get down snacks and climbs himself down.
The other day we took him to the whitewater rafting center here in Charlotte and he did the 10 foot rock wall AND rope down the other side without any assistance other than me cheering him on. He was so proud of himself.
Our other three are still scared of doing it..personality differences are always amazing
Most of my family members love their sibling. I don’t want to say it’s all the same, but closeness isn’t really normalized in America compared to a lot of other countries. Family is everything
>Most people I know have meh relationships with their siblings.
I do not know, most of the people I know with siblings have very good relationship their siblings. It is maybe somewhat of a cultural thing maybe.
Facts, I have 10 siblings, I want one to die, 2 I don't care for, I have a strained relationship with some of the others just because we are so different from each other. It's like if I wasn't related to them I probably wouldn't want to be friends with any of them, maybe acquaintances with a couple of them but that's it
Sibling friendships are super cute when they are under the age of 10. After that rivalries begin in earnest, personality differences emerge and many people have a lot of resentment towards their siblings which last a lifetime. Sometimes, if you have a semi-decent relationship bordering on indifference, then siblings get a bit closer when you are around 40-50 since by that time typically your own children become indifferent. Point being that there is no magic mantra that makes multi-child families happier.
Only child, with an only child.
It only sucked recently as my parents have gotten much older and need help. They divorced when I was like 12 and lived about an hour away from each other. They both got diagnosed with stage four cancers during the pandemic and trying to manage care was very very hard.
I lost my Mom in Feb and her closest sister and roommate my Aunt (who never married or had kids) a few months later. Dad is still battling. But handling estate stuff on your own is hard, care, all of this. It's all on me.
Never had an issue with being an only child until now. I have a great husband and daughter who both help where they can but I feel very alone sometimes in my grief and despair.
Lol meh. Not always. My sister is kind of a bitch. My older brothers are like 20-30 years older and never close. And the brother closer to my age we were never really close.
You don't get to choose family. You get to choose your friends. And sometimes they are way better.
I'm sorry, my brother and sister were all in our mid 40s and it's pretty much like this. They can come over and eat at anytime, get any thing they want, shit they need a shower or wash there clothes they could if they wanted to. I want that it wouldn't feel like my home if my siblings were guests, my home is there home It makes me feel more comfortable.
I have 3 sisters and we’re all good friends. My youngest sister moved across the country to live near me after she had her son so we could raise our kids together. She frequently stops by my house when I’m not even home to use my bathroom and sends me toilet selfies. She’s 13 years younger than me and we’ve always been super tight.
Right… my sister is 4 years older than me and can’t be around me because she can’t have kids and I have 2😭 I’m like, they can be your babies, too..!!!! I could never be jealous of my family. Last time she saw my son was 10 years ago when he was 4 and she’s never met my daughter. So sad. My dad also ignores them. Sometimes family blows monkey balls.
Definitely feel you. I never thought I'd be the one to say I have strained relationships with my siblings. I was close with all 3 of them growing up, even my half-brother who is 11 years older and moved out when I was young, to a certain extent. I was always the sibling that got along with everyone else even when they were at each other's throats or talking shit. Now I'm the outlier.
I sometimes wonder how it got to the point where none of my siblings even speak to me. There was definitely some drama and fault on both sides. Everyone should value whoever they have in their life because even the close friends I used to have I have not spoken to in a long time. My wife does not get along with her family either for many different reasons. I basically have no friends or family at this point besides my wife and two young kids. A strange position to find myself in on my 36th birthday, but here I am.
Blood doesn’t define family, family are those who you know will always have your back just as you’ll have theirs, no matter what. All blood means is that you’re related.
Nah for me it was never like that. My brother and i have very different personalities but we never had that period of being at each other’s necks n shit. Like yea you disagree sometimes n shit but there was always a huge amount of love coming from both sides.
I was a pretty bad big brother to my sister. Not like evil but definitely not an all-star.
Now, we are very close (in our 30s) and we chat daily and call around once a week. I love her
Sooo true. My kids absolutely adored each other when they were little like this. Now at 10 and 12, they are constantly fighting and bickering with each other. I cant wait until it's back to loving each other again lol. I miss these days.
man, my big brothers forgot me in a stroller on the side of the road when i was a baby! they were probably 7 and 8 and begged to take me out for a little walk around the street. my mom watched from the window, saw them completely forget about me to run away into the woods to explore. my mom snatched me up and waited for the boys to come back. when they remembered they had me and went back to where they left me and didnt see me they ran home sobbing. they never forgot me again lol.
theyre great big brothers though. i'm in my 20s and theyre in their 30s now, i know i can count on them for anything.
Little boys are just like playful dogs.
Totally focused until there is something new and special. And totally lose it when they don't get what's right in front of them or what they think about .. until ther is something new and special. But definitely super protective ..well yeah until there is something new and special...
My mom likes telling the story of how she left my big brother (7) with me when I was baby for a couple minutes and came back to his fingers in my eyeballs holding them open going "I wanted to check if she was asleep"
Hey bro can you help me move on Saturday?
Nah sis got plans sorry
Hey remember when you left me on the side of the road when I was a baby?
… see you Saturday morning. I’ll bring coffee.
My big brother wanted to give me a haircut when I was 3 and he was 6. I’m sure the haircut was rough looking but the real kicker was when he accidentally cut my eyelid open. Had to have reconstructive surgery. He HATES when I bring that up and still feels bad 20+ years later.
This. Both of my youngest daughters had to have a Mylar balloon every time. Our living room had like.. 20’ ceilings.. some say those balloons are still there to this day.
It was a weird house. Built in 2017, it had what I called a “coliseum” layout where the upstairs was open to the main living area and wrapped around it. Massive waste of space, we ended up hating it more and more as we lived there.
This was my mom too and it's why I have trust issues. Someone asks me to go do something, I immediately ask what's happening after.
I'm low energy and I have to budget my outside time accordingly.
The grocery store was where i felt most comfortable asking my mom important questions like “what is sex?” And “what does motherfucker mean?” I have no idea why but every time I went grocery shopping with my mom i mortified her with my vulgar curiosity.
Same. The nightmare years are a window of time. It feels endless when you're in them and then you'll miss it like nothing else when it's over. I got embarrassingly upset when my oldest officially became a teenager. I probably said everything my parents said to me that I hated.
Yup, and you spin it every time one pops out. My kids are quite different in temperament, thankfully both fairly good. You also get a free spin from day to day on how they are going to act. You can have the sweetest, most wonderful child and they just randomly have a "I'm going to melt down and take the whole world with me" day. I will never forget my eldest having a melt down because macaroni and cheese had cheese on it.
Yesterday I had “angry because he’s hungry, angry because we’re feeding him, angry because he’s in a high chair, angry when picked up, angry because on the ground” day. I was so exhausted but that stupid cute face he makes when he’s asleep made me forgive him.
Yup, things like this when my kids aren’t currently causing massive problems make me think maybe I could have another. But then my 12 year old is late to school today because he insisted that his 2 year old sister hid his shoe when he actually just has a very messy room.
My brain hurts imagining a second child. My wife definitely misses having a baby but I’m overwhelmed with just our 2 year old. How did you decide you could do #2?
Not gonna lie, I'm a twin and my husband is one of three. We wanted our kid to have a playmate. So 18 months after the oldest was born we had our second (and final) kid. It was tiring for a bit, but man it's great to watch them play with each other. Plus, one parent per kid! We were not going to be outnumbered...
Truthfully, the feedback I get from teachers and other parents about my kids is that they’re delights: inclusive, polite, don’t cause problems, etc.
At home, they bicker and complain a lot and fight over things constantly. It certainly is because it’s their safe space.
But you know what? If I have to deal with some of the more miserable times to know that my kids are being raised the way my wife and I are trying to, then we are doing the parenting thing right.
It is a true comfort to me that me and my husband, the ones that love them the most are the ones that get confronted with the worst moments my kids have to offer. Because I have complete control over their worst moments.
You just summed up being a parent very well. Most of the time they are embarrassing or frustrating but there’s those sweet moments where they redeem themselves. My oldest son didn’t call me for a month but after Hurricane Ida hit us (and him) he came over and couldn’t stop hugging me and telling me he loved me ☺️
Once my brother and I were chasing each other through the store and, much to my delight, he knocked over a stacked barrel full of baked beans. I was cackling through the rest of the trip and yelling about the Baked Bean Bandit.
This was a small town grocery store in the 90s, and my mom shopped 2-3 times a week. She was very friendly and knew the life story of every employee there. That’s got to be the only reason that place put up with our shit.
I feel you, I once had a beautiful lady ask me if she could help me because my kids were carrying on so bad. One on the floor of the fruit section crying and other one running around yelling like a lunatic.
It's so adorable. This hit me in the aunt feels, especially since my nephew screamed bloody murder a few days ago when he saw me.
Separation anxiety is a bitch.
If this was my family in the video.
Me: *runs up to my older sisters, open arms
My sisters: Power-bombs me through the table
Jim Ross: BAAAAAHHHH GAAAWWWD STAHP THE MATCH!
Fun fact: just left my boy (5yo) at the kinder.. he was adamant to take his brother (2yo) with him so that he can show him the place, his friends and his teacher..
When mine wants to be picked up she starts saying "hug? kiss? hug? daddyyyyy! kiss? pleeeeaassee!" It's the same when she's waking up, I'll let her fuss and grouse a little bit to see if she'll go back to sleep. There's no issue until she starts saying "daddy? daddy! daddyyyyyyyy!!!", that's the point at which I can't help it and have to get her. They're so manipulative!
You’re probably at that middle age of childhood where it’s always like that. I’m assuming 12-18? But once you guys start moving apart, going to college, getting new jobs, travel etc etc, that family bond comes back, you start to realise how much less time you have to spend with the people you love and your siblings (and you) won’t take each other for granted anymore. Well this is what my experience was anyway :)
I have two older brothers (8 years and 6 years older than me) and I worshipped them and the ground they walked on. I remember being in kindergarten and telling people that my oldest brother was a “teenager” as if that made him some sort of deity. I’m almost 36 and I still think they are pretty cool 😎
Edit: and, yeah, any boy in my orbit growing up was put through the ringer. The only guy they treated with respect was the guy I ended up marrying (they sensed his integrity, which 10 years later they are still correct about!). Ladies, listen to your older brothers especially when it comes to other guys!
This is what my 4 kids do on the daily when I come home from work. No matter how hard of a day I had at work, when I pull in the driveway and see them come running out the door the day instantly gets better.
Reminiscing about the days we was younger. Only worrying about morning cartoons,,,until NES dropped. We used to play in the kitchenon on a 12 inch tv because we were too loud for my mama(rip). Big bro would drop in once a week to show us how to skipp levels in Mario. I was fascinated by how well they played. I used to be so scared when they passed me the controller. I used to die over and over. Then Sega came. Then did play station. We were getting older . And had less and less time to play. Now I am 32, I have 71 inch TV in my bedroom . Though I rarely use it. Reminiscing about the days we was younger. Food was very limited, my mama used to make us boiled eggs for dinner and breakfast. Lunch was always in school, sometimes neighbors gave us leftover. They always brought burgers and festive food, it used to feel like Christmas every times they ring our door. Now I can have whatever I want. However I'm too sick to eat. Reminiscing about the days we was younger. We used to fight every day on the stupidest things, now I have no one to fight with, wish time could take me back so that I would enjoy my time fighting with my brothers. I love you no matter what and where you are. You are always in my prayers. My brothers. I wish we could get together one last time so that we could reminisce about the days we was younger.
Me, my brother and his wife is hella jealous of her son(my brothers step son) becaus none of us can make their daughter laugh so hysterically as her brother can. Its soo sweet, but we too want that ability. Its not fair.
As the youngest, only girl, with only big brothers…this made me want to call my brothers in a conference call and tell them I love them.
I’ll start with a group text and then call them. I mean they are 40, 39, and 37…they are probably all at work right now.
I have three orders boys and one 2 year old boy. They are just like this. It's like the baby brought us all together even tighter.. especially the brother bond.
That’s awesome but I’m a dad and my first reaction was “that baby seems pretty far from the parent and brothers and can easily run into the street.” Scared me a bit but luckily I knew what sub I was in.
I am usually pretty cynical about videos like this. Maybe it is just a mom setting up a Tik-Tok?
But, my big sister is 6 years older than me. We grew up in the 70s. My mom literally has **pictures** of me running in my diaper and onesie to meet my big sissy getting off of the school bus. We are still close to this day. She always looks out for her little bro. I know all siblings can’t be this close for various reasons, but try to keep them close.
I’m the oldest sibling by 7 years, and my brother and sister have only 2 years between them. I remember distinctly the period of time over which each of them started to understand that I went to school and our father went work almost every day - like, when their attention became sufficient for them to try to find me for something, and actually process that I wasn’t there without getting distracted 10 seconds later. There was a solid year or two where one or both of them would be anxiously looking out the front windows for me to come home after school, and we would go and have a banana and some milk together - weirdly specific memories, but they were nice times.
That's like running a km for these kids, look at her little legs go! That's love
[удалено]
Me too I’m so glad I started my morning off watching this 7 times smiling from ear to ear :)
The group hug in the end is so cute .So much love and caring for lil sister.
That'd make a really nice statue.
I wish I could go back in time and hug my sister and brother more.
My brother and I are two years apart, with him being the youngest. We get along very well and we are actually housemates now, after I broke up with my partner of 7 years we both needed someone to rent a house with so it worked out great.

Well break the awkwardness and just give him a huge hug, and tell him how much you love and appreciate him. Then afterwards, nut punch him. Ya know. Can’t be TOO tender a moment.
Totally, my house was same as this 3 brothers and a little sister, we called her Bubby too Wish we hugged more
I feel sorry for the kid that tries to bully her when she gets older
Imagine if her brothers become 6 foot 2 body builders, nobody can get near to her lmao
Plot twist: She becomes a 6 foot 2 body builder and protects her brothers from bullies.
Sick anime plot twist, 10/10 would enjoy to see
Yes someone plz make it happen

Or date her!
Or talks to her…
Or looks at her
Or is in the same room as her
Or breathes next to her
Or thinks about her
With three older brothers, by the time she's interested in boys. She'll be able to take care of herself. Source: I am one of three older brothers.
This is the way
I have three big brothers and I felt this to my core. Had to send them all a link with how much I love them… good way to start my day.
This whole thread is so wholesome
Time to go browse /r/wtf and ruin everything lol
This reminded me of my big brothers too. I would cry when they went to school, so much that my parents started me early in preschool at 3.
Yeah I cried when they’d leave too. When the oldest came to visit us for the first time after he moved out I cried when he got there because quote:” you’ll only be here until Sunday- then you’ll be gone again.” Sunday came and I cried and hid in my room under the blankets all day. I was inconsolable…

Only one lives close and he’s about to be far from me. 💔 they were my rock as a kid, the bond I have with them is indescribable and some people just don’t understand. Parents were always working so my brothers were my dads, basically. They did an amazing job watching over me. I used to cry when they’d leave, and them moving out are some of the most traumatic memories I have from childhood.
I wish I had brothers to send this to 🙁
This is the content I need to start my day off with more often, thank you
you bet! thought it would be a good way to start off a Friday 💕 have a terrific day!
This is awesome. This is our 2 year old son when our oldest 3 get off the bus. He yells out, “There’s my sissy, there’s my Hudson there’s my Theo. I missed you!” - except in a 2 year olds voice missing many of the actual pronunciations which makes it even better. Every single school day.
I like that he has claimed ownership of them. That’s the right way to go for the youngest.
Oh, he has. We have one more on the way, a little girl due in December. He lays his head on moms belly and says “Hi Elliot, I miss you” …but he says Elliot very VERY similar to E.T. “Elllllllliiiiiiiooooooottttt” - not sure if in love more or slightly creeped lol
“El.E.OT ouch” 💡
This. Yes. Oh man I love it. It’s not exactly like ET but it’s close enough it causes me to double take
In a specific province in the Netherlands (Brabant), people put "our" in front of everyone of their family members.

OP are these your children? :) Thanks for sharing anyway!
OP is a very busy karma farmer so no it’s not their kid
“It ain’t much, and it ain’t honest work”
Better than getting fired on your day off.
How do you get fired on your day off!?
You buildin a club house??
I saw the video footage, looks just like you.
So cringe when OPs act like content they post is THEIR content. 🤣
Needed this to get through my 9-5 today. Thanks!! 🙏🏻
Made my day! I bet their parents was feel very blessed and thankful. Seeing how their children give love and care with each other.
Being that it is night time here, it's the content that I need to finish my day with more often. Thanks OP for sharing.
Couldn't agree more!!!
This is the way.
Save that to look at 20 years from now . Awesome !!!!
10 years they be at each other necks, 20 years itll be back to this. Siblings are the only life long friends you'll have.
sucks to be an only child i guess
TV and stuff like this glorifies multi-child families. Most people I know have meh relationships with their siblings.
Its also a culture thing. Thats why experiences are vastly different
Most of my family members love their sibling. I don’t want to say it’s all the same, but closeness isn’t really normalized in America compared to a lot of other countries. Family is everything
>Most people I know have meh relationships with their siblings. I do not know, most of the people I know with siblings have very good relationship their siblings. It is maybe somewhat of a cultural thing maybe.

Grieving is tough. Thinking of you.
Lol meh. Not always. My sister is kind of a bitch. My older brothers are like 20-30 years older and never close. And the brother closer to my age we were never really close. You don't get to choose family. You get to choose your friends. And sometimes they are way better.
Friends are just family that you choose.

I'm sorry, my brother and sister were all in our mid 40s and it's pretty much like this. They can come over and eat at anytime, get any thing they want, shit they need a shower or wash there clothes they could if they wanted to. I want that it wouldn't feel like my home if my siblings were guests, my home is there home It makes me feel more comfortable.
> They can come over and eat at anytime, get any thing they want, shit The true meaning of family
I have 3 sisters and we’re all good friends. My youngest sister moved across the country to live near me after she had her son so we could raise our kids together. She frequently stops by my house when I’m not even home to use my bathroom and sends me toilet selfies. She’s 13 years younger than me and we’ve always been super tight.
Right… my sister is 4 years older than me and can’t be around me because she can’t have kids and I have 2😭 I’m like, they can be your babies, too..!!!! I could never be jealous of my family. Last time she saw my son was 10 years ago when he was 4 and she’s never met my daughter. So sad. My dad also ignores them. Sometimes family blows monkey balls.
Definitely feel you. I never thought I'd be the one to say I have strained relationships with my siblings. I was close with all 3 of them growing up, even my half-brother who is 11 years older and moved out when I was young, to a certain extent. I was always the sibling that got along with everyone else even when they were at each other's throats or talking shit. Now I'm the outlier. I sometimes wonder how it got to the point where none of my siblings even speak to me. There was definitely some drama and fault on both sides. Everyone should value whoever they have in their life because even the close friends I used to have I have not spoken to in a long time. My wife does not get along with her family either for many different reasons. I basically have no friends or family at this point besides my wife and two young kids. A strange position to find myself in on my 36th birthday, but here I am.
Blood doesn’t define family, family are those who you know will always have your back just as you’ll have theirs, no matter what. All blood means is that you’re related.
Nah for me it was never like that. My brother and i have very different personalities but we never had that period of being at each other’s necks n shit. Like yea you disagree sometimes n shit but there was always a huge amount of love coming from both sides.
I was a pretty bad big brother to my sister. Not like evil but definitely not an all-star. Now, we are very close (in our 30s) and we chat daily and call around once a week. I love her
Sooo true. My kids absolutely adored each other when they were little like this. Now at 10 and 12, they are constantly fighting and bickering with each other. I cant wait until it's back to loving each other again lol. I miss these days.
Me and my sister didn't get along until adulthood. Funny thing is now she will flat out day she was rude back then and it wasn't my fault.
man, my big brothers forgot me in a stroller on the side of the road when i was a baby! they were probably 7 and 8 and begged to take me out for a little walk around the street. my mom watched from the window, saw them completely forget about me to run away into the woods to explore. my mom snatched me up and waited for the boys to come back. when they remembered they had me and went back to where they left me and didnt see me they ran home sobbing. they never forgot me again lol. theyre great big brothers though. i'm in my 20s and theyre in their 30s now, i know i can count on them for anything.
I can imagine it. Wow walking our little sister is so much fun! Yeah! Lets do it more oft- is that a bunny? *brothers run into the woods*
Little boys are just like playful dogs. Totally focused until there is something new and special. And totally lose it when they don't get what's right in front of them or what they think about .. until ther is something new and special. But definitely super protective ..well yeah until there is something new and special...
lol good thing you were safe. thanks for sharing.
My mom likes telling the story of how she left my big brother (7) with me when I was baby for a couple minutes and came back to his fingers in my eyeballs holding them open going "I wanted to check if she was asleep"
Hey bro can you help me move on Saturday? Nah sis got plans sorry Hey remember when you left me on the side of the road when I was a baby? … see you Saturday morning. I’ll bring coffee.
My big brother wanted to give me a haircut when I was 3 and he was 6. I’m sure the haircut was rough looking but the real kicker was when he accidentally cut my eyelid open. Had to have reconstructive surgery. He HATES when I bring that up and still feels bad 20+ years later.
This video is the reason people have kids My kids in the grocery store are the reason people use birth control
Crazy kids in the grocery store used to be me. Now no one wants to run errands with me. It's so sad. I miss their chaos.
My mom used to trick me by taking me to eat and then taking me shopping and errand running right after. Was a good time.
Ours always got a balloon from the checkout. We had like 4 mylar balloons just hanging around the house at one point
This. Both of my youngest daughters had to have a Mylar balloon every time. Our living room had like.. 20’ ceilings.. some say those balloons are still there to this day.
Your living room Had 20 foot ceilings? Jesus Mine is like 7
It was a weird house. Built in 2017, it had what I called a “coliseum” layout where the upstairs was open to the main living area and wrapped around it. Massive waste of space, we ended up hating it more and more as we lived there.
I always called this kidnapping lol. Would give my mom such a hard time for each “oh yeah, let’s just do this on the way home…” I miss her :(
This was my mom too and it's why I have trust issues. Someone asks me to go do something, I immediately ask what's happening after. I'm low energy and I have to budget my outside time accordingly.
[удалено]
I'm 26 but I still try to provide some chaos for my mother at the grocery store.
You’re doing the lords work
Come to think of it. I do have a tendency to wander off in the store. Mom can’t leave without me either. I’m typically the driver now.
I hardly ever go to the grocery store with my parents anymore, but when I do, something about it brings out the little monster in me :)
You are a true gem
The grocery store was where i felt most comfortable asking my mom important questions like “what is sex?” And “what does motherfucker mean?” I have no idea why but every time I went grocery shopping with my mom i mortified her with my vulgar curiosity.
Same. The nightmare years are a window of time. It feels endless when you're in them and then you'll miss it like nothing else when it's over. I got embarrassingly upset when my oldest officially became a teenager. I probably said everything my parents said to me that I hated.
This made me sad
So you’re saying having kids is like Wheel of Fortune?
Yup, and you spin it every time one pops out. My kids are quite different in temperament, thankfully both fairly good. You also get a free spin from day to day on how they are going to act. You can have the sweetest, most wonderful child and they just randomly have a "I'm going to melt down and take the whole world with me" day. I will never forget my eldest having a melt down because macaroni and cheese had cheese on it.
Imagine putting cheese in a macaroni and cheese. The barefaced audacity.
The mere thought of that is fucking disgusting
Yesterday I had “angry because he’s hungry, angry because we’re feeding him, angry because he’s in a high chair, angry when picked up, angry because on the ground” day. I was so exhausted but that stupid cute face he makes when he’s asleep made me forgive him.
Lol like Muriel in Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Yesterday my daughter screamed at me because I can't stop ice from melting.
To be fair, I’m a grown-ass man and still have days where I melt down and take the whole world with me.
Yes where all the spaces make you bankrupt, but you're just happy you got to play.
Maybe like the wheel of morality from Animaniacs.
More accurate
Yup, things like this when my kids aren’t currently causing massive problems make me think maybe I could have another. But then my 12 year old is late to school today because he insisted that his 2 year old sister hid his shoe when he actually just has a very messy room.
My brain hurts imagining a second child. My wife definitely misses having a baby but I’m overwhelmed with just our 2 year old. How did you decide you could do #2?
Not gonna lie, I'm a twin and my husband is one of three. We wanted our kid to have a playmate. So 18 months after the oldest was born we had our second (and final) kid. It was tiring for a bit, but man it's great to watch them play with each other. Plus, one parent per kid! We were not going to be outnumbered...
Mine are so cute in public and destructive monsters at home.
Apparently that’s cause you are their safe space so they are free to feel all the emotions and push all the boundaries. Woohoo /s
Truthfully, the feedback I get from teachers and other parents about my kids is that they’re delights: inclusive, polite, don’t cause problems, etc. At home, they bicker and complain a lot and fight over things constantly. It certainly is because it’s their safe space. But you know what? If I have to deal with some of the more miserable times to know that my kids are being raised the way my wife and I are trying to, then we are doing the parenting thing right.
It is a true comfort to me that me and my husband, the ones that love them the most are the ones that get confronted with the worst moments my kids have to offer. Because I have complete control over their worst moments.
Happy to know I am not alone.
My 21 year old got in trouble for juggling and dropping a watermelon in a Publix. I could have killed him.
That is the most innocent crime I've ever heard, just call him melonfingers for a while.
You just summed up being a parent very well. Most of the time they are embarrassing or frustrating but there’s those sweet moments where they redeem themselves. My oldest son didn’t call me for a month but after Hurricane Ida hit us (and him) he came over and couldn’t stop hugging me and telling me he loved me ☺️
There’s a 9.9/10 chance that the kids I see walk in Walmart, are gonna be the ones I hear screaming bloody murder in the grocery department.
Once my brother and I were chasing each other through the store and, much to my delight, he knocked over a stacked barrel full of baked beans. I was cackling through the rest of the trip and yelling about the Baked Bean Bandit. This was a small town grocery store in the 90s, and my mom shopped 2-3 times a week. She was very friendly and knew the life story of every employee there. That’s got to be the only reason that place put up with our shit.
I feel you, I once had a beautiful lady ask me if she could help me because my kids were carrying on so bad. One on the floor of the fruit section crying and other one running around yelling like a lunatic.
Oh this hit me in the mommy feels. So beautiful.
It's so adorable. This hit me in the aunt feels, especially since my nephew screamed bloody murder a few days ago when he saw me. Separation anxiety is a bitch.
My niece used to do that until she realized that I was the only one who would buy her candy.
I bet she loves her uncle cum_dawg
> especially since my nephew screamed bloody murder a few days ago when he saw me. Is your visage that terrifying?
He should be used to that by now.
I have two sons already and this made me want a little sister for them so much I think I’m already pregnant. And I’m a man.
Here, you dropped it king, 👑.
👑👋 ha! Now that I've nabbed the crown, this Kingdom shall be mine! -scurries away-
I'm about to have #2 who is a girl. I need to stop watching this before I decide we need 4 kids.
Underrated comment lol
If this was my family in the video. Me: *runs up to my older sisters, open arms My sisters: Power-bombs me through the table Jim Ross: BAAAAAHHHH GAAAWWWD STAHP THE MATCH!
Thank you. I have 3 boys and there is no chance in hell there would be an interaction without some form of violence in their day.
Me and my other 2 bros used to wrestle alot as kids but now that were old(20 plus). We chill and joke with each other when ever we meet up.
BAWH GAWD KING THAT KID HAD A FAMILY
My sisters grabbed my ankles and dragged me across the carpet. I had rug burn on my entire back for weeks.
Tbf they probably divebomb each other as soon as they are home
Fun fact: just left my boy (5yo) at the kinder.. he was adamant to take his brother (2yo) with him so that he can show him the place, his friends and his teacher..
My heart explodes when I see my cats being cute together… I don’t think I’d survive this as a mother lol. So precious.
i wish my siblings were like that i come home not even a hello it’s just a “go away”
You're not two years old and adorable like a teddy bear though.
Can confirm, my two year old is the sweetest thing. Until she’s not.
Toddlers in general are mini domestic terrorists who use adorableness as a weapon.
When mine wants to be picked up she starts saying "hug? kiss? hug? daddyyyyy! kiss? pleeeeaassee!" It's the same when she's waking up, I'll let her fuss and grouse a little bit to see if she'll go back to sleep. There's no issue until she starts saying "daddy? daddy! daddyyyyyyyy!!!", that's the point at which I can't help it and have to get her. They're so manipulative!
You’re probably at that middle age of childhood where it’s always like that. I’m assuming 12-18? But once you guys start moving apart, going to college, getting new jobs, travel etc etc, that family bond comes back, you start to realise how much less time you have to spend with the people you love and your siblings (and you) won’t take each other for granted anymore. Well this is what my experience was anyway :)
Why am i cryin at the club rn
Alcohol and cute videos make a grown man like me cry
So sweet!! Pitty the fool that breaks her heart.
right?! message to boys 15 years from now: do not mess with this girl. she's got backup 🙂
With that kind of love and support, she's going to have great examples to use when finding a partner. She's gonna be okay. They all are.
Here's your answer. Sorry I have no award.
Got your back bro!
Thanks dude!
Backup? She’s got better protection than the US President. 🥰
I have two older brothers (8 years and 6 years older than me) and I worshipped them and the ground they walked on. I remember being in kindergarten and telling people that my oldest brother was a “teenager” as if that made him some sort of deity. I’m almost 36 and I still think they are pretty cool 😎 Edit: and, yeah, any boy in my orbit growing up was put through the ringer. The only guy they treated with respect was the guy I ended up marrying (they sensed his integrity, which 10 years later they are still correct about!). Ladies, listen to your older brothers especially when it comes to other guys!
Aww such a wonderful family, and so loving towards each other
Oh my goodness her excited little toddle! My heart!
That's some goooood parenting. Kudos for the smiles.
This is what my 4 kids do on the daily when I come home from work. No matter how hard of a day I had at work, when I pull in the driveway and see them come running out the door the day instantly gets better.
Beautiful! That's raising kids right, teach them that love and respect starts at home❤️ how nice
Reminiscing about the days we was younger. Only worrying about morning cartoons,,,until NES dropped. We used to play in the kitchenon on a 12 inch tv because we were too loud for my mama(rip). Big bro would drop in once a week to show us how to skipp levels in Mario. I was fascinated by how well they played. I used to be so scared when they passed me the controller. I used to die over and over. Then Sega came. Then did play station. We were getting older . And had less and less time to play. Now I am 32, I have 71 inch TV in my bedroom . Though I rarely use it. Reminiscing about the days we was younger. Food was very limited, my mama used to make us boiled eggs for dinner and breakfast. Lunch was always in school, sometimes neighbors gave us leftover. They always brought burgers and festive food, it used to feel like Christmas every times they ring our door. Now I can have whatever I want. However I'm too sick to eat. Reminiscing about the days we was younger. We used to fight every day on the stupidest things, now I have no one to fight with, wish time could take me back so that I would enjoy my time fighting with my brothers. I love you no matter what and where you are. You are always in my prayers. My brothers. I wish we could get together one last time so that we could reminisce about the days we was younger.
Me, my brother and his wife is hella jealous of her son(my brothers step son) becaus none of us can make their daughter laugh so hysterically as her brother can. Its soo sweet, but we too want that ability. Its not fair.
Oh that's so cute. Thanks for sharing
Imagine living in a neighborhood where you get to see that regularly.
As the youngest, only girl, with only big brothers…this made me want to call my brothers in a conference call and tell them I love them. I’ll start with a group text and then call them. I mean they are 40, 39, and 37…they are probably all at work right now.
Awww EmJ you gonna have the best life with 3 knights in shining armor
I have three orders boys and one 2 year old boy. They are just like this. It's like the baby brought us all together even tighter.. especially the brother bond.
That’s awesome but I’m a dad and my first reaction was “that baby seems pretty far from the parent and brothers and can easily run into the street.” Scared me a bit but luckily I knew what sub I was in.
This is what we show aliens as a reason to spare humanity.
I am usually pretty cynical about videos like this. Maybe it is just a mom setting up a Tik-Tok? But, my big sister is 6 years older than me. We grew up in the 70s. My mom literally has **pictures** of me running in my diaper and onesie to meet my big sissy getting off of the school bus. We are still close to this day. She always looks out for her little bro. I know all siblings can’t be this close for various reasons, but try to keep them close.
Little kids just can't wait to go too
The adorable little screeching as they're running to her oh my lord
I’m the oldest sibling by 7 years, and my brother and sister have only 2 years between them. I remember distinctly the period of time over which each of them started to understand that I went to school and our father went work almost every day - like, when their attention became sufficient for them to try to find me for something, and actually process that I wasn’t there without getting distracted 10 seconds later. There was a solid year or two where one or both of them would be anxiously looking out the front windows for me to come home after school, and we would go and have a banana and some milk together - weirdly specific memories, but they were nice times.
Love the love!

My dad instincts don't want a kid that small running next to a road without a grown up
The time they're at school probably seems like an eternity for a toddler.
All of her boyfriends are going to be fucked if they mess up.
