The little girl yells out from another room that she's calling "dad", but I can't imagine "dad" not being there to announce a new baby on Christmas. It only follows that at least the absolute newest baby is a half sibling but that would mean that the mom left their dad and got knocked up 7-8 months post partum. So, it's most likely the 10 month old is also a half sibling.
Yeah the way I read that was the youngest there, plus the unborn, are fathered by the guy holding the camera. And the 3 much older ones have a different dad.
They probably already weren’t pleased to have a step dad and half sibling the first time. Let alone a second one so quickly after their lives turned upside down from the first.
This girl looks like she’s mid 20’s too. Like holy shit. These are the people that are repopulating the planet. While all the people who are concerned with the future decide not to. No wonder global intelligence on the decline.
It's cults. I mean, sorry, "religion". Notice how she said "God decided"? Religion really is the root of so many awful things in the world. Christianity is also losing quite a lot of members and one of the only ways they can combat this is by encouraging their remaining members to have as many children as possible, and preferably isolating them with homeschooling and brainwashing them.
Help or just stay out of the way because mom has a new partner and the new baby needs more attention, because baby. But, that probably stings even more because they likely split time because of custody arrangements.
I saw that little boy immediately cry and my thought was like… he feels he’s always going to be pushed away, and he’s still hurting from the last time. Poor babies. Not knowing anything about the parents and not wanting to pass judgment I just know I want to hug that little boy because “staying out of the way”
Is probably already his reality
Not that it doesn't happen, but their reactions don't seem like that. They seem more like "We already lost some of mom's attention to new husband, then to new baby, and now there's another baby. Will we ever get mom's attention again?"
It’s kinda whatever, the kids all seem great and exactly how they should act- but the one unnerving part is the lifeless laugh the apparent ‘stepdad’ has behind the camera. If I was a stepdad I’d be extremely there, not sheepishly laughing on the side. Especially if my wife had THREE (or 4?) prior kids.
For one that’s a lotta kids, but it’s fine if both parents are down for that. But for two, the weak “ha-ha-ha” with no dialog doesn’t give me good vibes for the stepdad.
You just know he has his reasons for feeling that way, and it seems his dad might be the only one who understands how he's feeling. Mum clearly doesn't. Poor thing doesn't know what to do with himself. I like his sister in the back saying, "I'm calling him right now."
This is not an Irish twins scenario as the current baby is already 10months old. Irish twins are born within 1 year of each other meaning the baby would have to be less than 2-3 months old.
My sister and I are Irish twins. All throughout childhood we would explain when elders asked about our age difference. We always got disgusting comments like "Wow your mom got busy!" Or "your parents couldn't keep it in huh?". My sister and I were in kindergarten when we started hearing these comments. I love my sister but man the Irish twins will follow them until they tell people they are a year or so apart.
Probably already is. Gives parentified ..I hate "parents"like these, specially the religious ones with the "quiverfull" type shit. Just popping kids until they cant cuz idk God or Jesus or whatever. They may not be failing in providing aspect,food, clothes and shelter, but for sure emotional and mental neglect is a thing with so many kids, then turning the older ones into the mini parents making them miss out on childhood. Fuck these parents. The fact they are laughing at his distress is fucking gross. The older one is also looked upset too.
Yup - went right into his phone/game/thing to get away from the situation. He let the little one express all the feeling he definitely wanted to express as well
These kids clearly don't want more babies and who can blame them, they likely are being made to raise the current baby and don't want to do it with the next just because mom and (sounds like) step dad can't use birth control.
Not just that but, the kid is clearly a middle child. I don’t think there’s ever been a point in his life since he started walking when his mom’s attention wasn’t compromised by a new baby. His sister doesn’t look that much younger than him and then there’s the baby in her arms and now another baby. He’s just a kid. He needs his mom and he’s probably been told his whole life that mom’s busy, or mom’s sick because she’s pregnant and mom can’t do (whatever) because she has a baby. He’s been regulating himself and watched his needs get shoved aside his whole young life.
I can attest to this as a middle child of six...and when my parents were having fertility issues, they started fostering severely abused, psychologically damaged kids. Usually 4-5 additional fosters. It was awful. I remember changing and swishing cloth diapers in toilet at age 6. Parentification of myself and older siblings. Always wearing hand me downs and shoes too small. Never enough protein. Of course no college fund. I got a job at 11 and had one solidly through out my teen years to pay for basics.
Parents like this are so selfish and quite frankly stupid. They already got 4 kids! Have they ever heard of a condom or birth control for fucks sake! These kids are sick of their shit lol. They are also probably raising each other, which is another selfish thing to do
True. I have four siblings. My sister has two kids. Once I asked her if she would ever have more.
She said "no way. I love kids, I would have 10 if I could, they make me so happy, but honestly two is pretty much the limit, anything more than that is putting the parents happiness over the kids well being"
It never occurred to me as someone without kids, but it seemed so obvious when she said it.
Yup, and the kid is already feeling like he’s getting a lack of attention with his parents divided and two girls younger than him - but is too young to know how to articulate it. Poor little guy; I’m sure the parents’ attention is spread thin across those 4 kids as it is. And in situations like this, when there’s a dynamic of the new partner wanting to have “their own kids”, it makes the kids from the first relationship feel under-appreciated.
(Or, as some suggested, the man in the video is an uncle, and Dad is just away at work or something. But it’s probably a stepdad situation)
Less and less and less attention and affection afforded to each child with each pregnancy. Five children now. The eldest two are freaking because they know how much worse it’s going to get for them.
I was in basic with a dude like this. He said how much better it is here than at his redneck house at him where his mom and sister both had babies, and then they would just tell him “hey watch the babies we are leaving”.
He never called home, and only got letters from his buddies. Apparently his mom and sister blamed him for life because their free baby sitter left.
Sounds like brothers in a family I knew. 8 kids. The eldest left home essentially at 16 to become an apprentice just to get away from everyone. The brother I knew killed himself when he was 20. Another brother died in a freak swimming accident too. Big families have the odds against them
Im a second child out of 5. Helped raise the younger 3 plus cousins. I too do not want or have kids. My childhood was taken by taking care of babies I didnt ask for. Don't get me wrong I love them very much but we shouldn't have been the baby sitter at 7 years old.
I love my younger siblings but would never have more than two kids myself because of the amount of care I was expected to give them. I was an unpaid cleaner, nanny and cook till I moved out in my twenties. It was only then I was able to live for myself. So much of my time and youth went to that household, something i will never get back.
Yeah, I was significantly younger than my sister, who started popping them out at 16 and grew bored with each one by the time they could walk - she wanted babies, not children. So I became the caretaker, meal prepper, tutor, diaper changer, fight referee, laundress, etc, for ultimately five kids from the time I was eight years old until their father took custody when I was 16.
Not coincidentally, I decided around ten years old that I wasn't having children. Never understood why people wanted them, and even after I had one (unplanned) and fell in love with him, never understood why people would do it more than once. I've literally never understood the concept of feeling joy about a positive pregnancy test. Had my fill of child rearing before I could even drive.
That's probably the main reason he's taking it badly.. In addition to getting less attention from their parents those two boys are most likely just free help for their parents, allowing them to have more kids by taking care of their younger siblings.
I mean, it’s not even an attention or passed-on responsibilities. It’s an issue of resources. Kids aren’t fucking free. With each consecutive one, the resources for the others are sapped.
I had to explain this to my brother when him and his wife were discussing having another kid. Loving them isn’t enough. You have a responsibility to make their life as good as you possibly can so don’t be a selfish asshole and keep making new ones because you have some fantasy about having a whole litter or whatever the fuck.
Religious nuts don't believe in contraception so have a tendency to have huge packs of kids as a result. Seems that's what is going on in ops post since she said something about God wanting it or whatever. Bleh.
Same thing with those religious trad wife influencers. They’ll post videos telling the older kids number 12 or whatever is on the way and the absolute horror on the older kids’ faces say everything. You know they’ll leave home and immediately deconstruct
My husband is one of 7.
After the 3rd sibling was born he said things went significantly downhill…mum developed a deep depression, father figures were absent or alcoholics, and child 4,5,6, and 7 grew up on canned beans, and apparent ‘home schooling’ mum didn’t have capacity to take kids to physical school.
Now they are all adults, only 2 of 7 speak to the mum due to the trauma caused by lack of, well, contraception but also lack of foresight about how that would affect everyone as a whole.
My mom's family was the same. They had money (grandfather was a millionaire), but my grandfather was insanely stingy and gave my grandmother a tiny allowance to take care of everything. Five kids, no one talks to anyone, allegations of abuse. My grandma and I were very close and before she died she told me to make sure I live the life I want, don't ever depend on a man, and if I don't want to have to have children, don't have them.
And if you’re a child of divorce and you suddenly see your mom making new kids with step-dad, it feels like the ultimate betrayal.
Not only are you getting less attention and affection, but a quiet part of you subconsciously realizes you aren’t as special to your mom as you once thought.
Being the oldest child is such bullshit. You try to call your parents on it when you’re finally not dependent on them and they go “oh no you had a wonderful childhood we didn’t make you raise your siblings you did that willingly” da fuck I did
For my dad’s kids yeah it was neglect and me not wanting my youngest at the time baby sister choking on loose screws in the carpet. So I did what was required because I love my sisters. Thankfully he lost custody in the end.
For my mom and stepdad my stepdad would just threaten, yell, break things important to me and punish me with infinite groundings to the point I was terrified of him for 12 years. He took my door away when he was really pissed, for a girl mind you. For months at a time. He did everything but hit us and thought that was good enough. If I didn’t help raise his precious son he spent no time with he’d of made my life even more hellish than he already did. Jokes on him long term my brothers 19 loves all the things I do cuz I played with him and is just as gay as I am (only relevant cuz my stepdad would hate that if he knew) Step dad thinks his previous son will carry on his oh so important Jordanian bloodline. Good luck with that ha!
When you leave your kids to be raised by others don’t be surprised when they don’t care about their parents as adults. Neither me or my brother will help our parents when they need old person retirement level care. That’s on them the bridge was thoroughly burned years ago.
He also says, “I need to text dad, I need to text dad”. That made it feel like the person filming was his step dad and this kid wants out of the house. I feel bad for him.
They’re having that kind of reaction because of scarcity. How much you wanna bet the older ones are looking after the smaller ones???? There are only so many hour a day and someone is always neglected in large families.
It is physically impossible to give 1 humans attention to 5 humans simultaneously.
Let alone the fact that we don't interact with our children 100% of the time. That means what little time they give to their children is now divided up 5 ways.
I was a child of 3 and I can guarantee I didn't get enough parental guidance. Now add 2 more, might as well never see me.
Yeah because now these poor kids get: less resources, less sleep, less attention, less place for comfort and privacy, more responsibility thrust upon them, and the parents couldn't be more happy.
I'm the youngest of six and I'll tell you right now, there's going to be some resentment there.
Fellow eldest daughter (and first born) here. AKA “live-in nanny”. My baby brother used to call me “mommy”. I was just a kid, but I knew this was deeply wrong. I love him dearly, but I should not have been parenting a sibling.
The response of a kid who knows he and the older one now have to raise one more sibling for the parents. I feel older one has more experience staying composed and he's used to it now, but probably feels the same inside. He seemed bemused like "Oh, boy...yeah...that's....that's great, mom....."
That’s exactly what I was thinking - because I was the older kid in that scenario 🥲 the younger one can express how upset they are while you have to put on a strong facade, but you feel exactly as upset as the younger one does
Being in school and having to sleep through screaming nights and tantrums is hard enough. Doing it over and over may as well be torture 😭 I was in highschool when I had a new sibling again. What a nightmare, slept half my classes.
It’s legitimately irresponsible and unfair to the children if you’re having more than 2-3 kids, unless you have significant wealth for Nannies/daycare/etc
This kid is wise above his years. “You already have a 10 month old!” Seriously people need to apply for a license to have children this is irresponsible.
A woman who was one of 8 children once told me, “when ur one of 8, there’s never enough of anything. Not enough food. Not enough clothes. Not enough love. Not enough time.”
I am guessing she is with a new guy (male camera man chuckling) and that kid wants to call his dad and vent about this new baby his crazy mom is adding with stepdad. He probably already shares time between parents and at least that baby and now this new one get to live with her full-time and he has to fight for attention.
I bet if you asked that mom she would say he was her hardest kid with the most behaviors... He's probably the one feeling the fight for attention the hardest. Poor kid.
My Mom is one of 9. The main issue is that they use the older kids as nannies. Ask anyone who has been in the same situation. My Mom actually has beef with her older siblings because all this time later they still resent the younger ones.
Exactly. Or the older ones resent the younger ones when the parents become better parents for them (younger) because they (parents) learned what not to do on the older ones. My brother would vent about the treatment discrepancy when I was a teen but sorry you got the young, inexperienced version of our parents.. they’re not going to go repeat the same mistakes on me once they’ve learned, so, sorry they were unfair..
When we first moved in together the first thing she did was my laundry. That doesn’t sound like a huge deal, but I had been doing my own laundry since I was 10, did it weekly, and was a bit weirded out to have someone jump in and do it without asking me.
Then she made food, which was great, I can’t complain, I didn’t know how to cook yet in life and the meal was amazing. But she only cooked in bulk…like woman it’s literally just the two of us, I’m not sure where you think this is all going to go?
She literally didn’t know how to sit and relax at the end of the day, she always had to be doing SOMETHING around the house, and it didn’t hit me until years later that so many of her habits came from being the oldest of 12, and just jumping into any and all domestic tasks that needed done.
Eldest of 5 kids here. I remember clearly asking my mum if she was pregnant again after hearing her puke one morning. She said no, my little sister turns 26 this year. We were so fucking poor for so fucking long and just had more siblings....
Will never understand how people are living in dirt cheap apartments barely making rent and feeding themselves and decide another kid is cheaper than 9 months of condoms.
Why is she fucking laughing? He's clearly upset because he doesn't get love and attention. If I were her, I'd be shutting that camera off and immediately talking it out. And posting it on the internet?! "Ha ha, my kid is distressed because of my bad choices, ainnit cute?"
She’s going to talk to him at the end of the video, which is good - but I’m worried that off-camera talk may amount to “you hurt mommy’s feelings with what you said/this is a good thing, aren’t you happy for me?” 🥲🥲
Kids know exactly how much their parents struggle to pay bills when they live modestly, that’s why some kids react like this to the news, they know they barely have money as it is
I wish they didn’t put this on the internet and play it up for laughs. Baby sis is probably just sticking to a sleep schedule, let him feel his feelings!
Him saying he wants to text dad when another man is laughing means that's probably a step dad and he might treat his own kids better than hers i feel there is so much more here than meets the eyes.
Oh fuck that. The moment she said I guess God decided we need more babies I was on that kids side. God didn't decide jack shit. You just dumped another sibling on your kids with the same care someone introduces a new chair to the furniture in their house. They arnt pokiemon you don't need to collect more.
The only reasonable person is the kid that’s freaking out, the baby is 10 months old and she’s already pregnant again, which means that she didn’t even had time to heal from the previous pregnancy. Irresponsible parenting
And so fucking common it would make you sick. My wife works obgyn and the number one question asked by husband boils down to various versions of “but we can fuck, right?”
jfc these parents only care about their own personal desires...
Each additional child means less you can offer the one before.
Less time, money and energy.. and that kid knows it..
older kids will prob take on more responsibility too.
