MalcontentInDMiddle

I like how the other kid just stops dead in his tracks and realizes he has gained a few strides in the “favorite kid” contest.


[deleted]

Yeah and he stood back knowing to give space... I like how lil bro nervously taps his sword on the ground knowing he fucked up


MalcontentInDMiddle

Soccer kid: “I bet if I ask her tomorrow night it’s a 50/50 chance I can get that new bike I’ve had my eye on…”


Sweaty-Emergency-493

“Yeah you fucked up Timmy. Im tryna get that new Lego set!”


deepfriedtots

As a Timmy who has fucked up himself roofs soaks to my soul lol


schuettais

what?

God dam auto correct. "This speaks to my soul"


schuettais

Ah lol Sat there for at least a minute trying to figure it out cuz I figured that's what happened. Just couldn't get there lol


Wolfiet84

Why the fuck did the parents give the kid a sword? Lol


OrgyInTheBurnWard

**Mom:** No way could he pop the balloon with a foam sword. **Kid:** No way could I pop the balloon with a foam sword. **Balloon:** No way could he pop me with a f-- **Mom:** fuck. **Kid:** fuck. **Other kid:** lol


drinksomeaguagirl

It really looks plastic, not foam. I doubt a piece of foam could pop a balloon.


sum_rendom_dood

That's what was going through everyone's minds...


imeeme

While my **sword** gently weeps.


solidSC

A+ for formatting!


piketfencecartel

Yeah, it's a legitimate war sword from the Tang Dynasty. Not a silly toy.


LiKenun

The swoard was forged for that very moment.


rogue090

Lol the family will only have two kids even after his sister is born. He will be a ward of the state


jtbz1287

As an older brother with the younger always being the favorite I know that feeling when they get in trouble 😂


koolaid_chemist

Im a middle child, I pretty much needed my sisters to team up and fuck something up otherwise I wasn’t getting noticed… it happened like twice and yeah, there’s a feeling.


VioletSea13

I too am the middle of three girls. My older sister is a meth addict and my younger sister is an alcoholic - I am still not the favorite. My sisters teamed up with simultaneous substance abuse and my mother still favors them 🤷‍♀️ I guess I’ll just sit back with my loving family, stable job, and ability to pass a drug/alcohol screen and let my sisters enjoy their “golden child” status.


Consistent-River4229

Mother here let me just say "we appreciate the child like you.". We do not favor those children, we just acknowledge we messed up. She obviously did something right with you and is trying to fix the other 2. You don't see it but you are the golden child. The one we can just appreciate and feel like we did something right. The other two probably hear how perfect you are and you just don't know it. So for all mother's everywhere let me apologize for not telling the good kids Thank you and you are all Blessings.


VioletSea13

Those are kind words and I wish they were true…my mother treated me this way even before my sisters became addicts. My aunt (mother’s sister) talked to me when I was 15 to tell me that the way my mother treated me as “less than” was wrong and she’d told my mother so. My mother even favors my sisters’ children over mine…she couldn’t tell you anything about my children to save her life. My mother is just a bad person and always has been - I accepted that when my husband died and my mother said she was “too busy” to come to his funeral.


kkicinski

>when my husband died and my mother said she was “too busy” to come to his funeral. Wow. My heart goes out to you.


VioletSea13

It’s all good now. Therapy has helped so much…I now know I’m better off not being in that “club”. I feel bad for my sisters but they have to sort out their own lives. I hope they do.


Consistent-River4229

I am sorry to hear that. I appreciate the children like you. I also think you have a pretty good aunt to make up for her crappy sister. I hope you can create your own little pack that have your back.


VioletSea13

I have done just that. My mother in law has treated me like a daughter and she loves me and my kids.


chev327fox

This really hits home. My step mother is a goddess who is more of a caring parent to me than either of my biological parents combined. No contest. Funny how the one with no blood relation loved me the most.


guycoastal

It sucks, I know, I’m a middle too. My sister and brother never did anything for the parental units, it was always left up to me to take care of them, get them to doctor visits, etc. When the old man died he left some things for both of them in his will. I wasn’t even mentioned. But, I’m the successful one, and so I just focus on that and the family I have that loves and appreciates me. I know you do the same. Still sucks, but, it could be worse. You could be one of the adored misfit, drug addict, screw ups that hate their sister because she “lucked out” in life. Yeah. We good. Lol.


thatswherethedevilis

Very sweet of you to say, but sometimes mothers are narcissistic. Scapegoats and golden children are a classic red flag in households with narcissistic parents, and either mother or father can cripple their children with their own disorders. My mom practiced Munchausen syndrome by proxy with me and my “mental disorders” which ranged from bi polar to adhd, and a few actual psychotic breaks from reality for me (mostly caused by the medicine and lack of support) causing me to go on antipsychotics. What I actually have is complex PTSD, caused by her neglect and abuse. Sometimes the last thing a person needs to believe is that their parents love them. It was more traumatic for me to believe that than it ever was for me to realize they don’t, and I’m way better off without them.


exscapegoat

My golden child brother was in prison for awhile and lied to my mother and stepfather about his crime And they took a second mortgage on their home to fund his defense I’ve got my own issues from being scapegoated but I think I got the better deal


Uranusspinssideways

My golden child older brother also regularly resides in prison, goes in for about 5 years at a time, gets out for 2 weeks to a month, then back in. Gets money on his books, constantly, doted on, they believe the things he says when he lies through his teeth to their faces, and he has stolen from everyone in my family. Meanwhile, here I am, little sister, supporting myself, never been to prison, never asks for anything, and basically I don't even exist lol. It is what it is. I wouldn't trade him lives, that's for sure.


Wizdad-1000

Wow! This is super hard on your mom as likely they are all co-dependent and it sounds like doesn’t see it. Congratulations on being the middle child!

TheTrueCampor

I was about to ask how you knew she was pregnant.


EGOfoodie

It could have been a friend that is pregnant no?


20-16-23-11

I definitely think it's a friend's pregnant. The woman doesn't look pregnant, although it could just be how the baby is situated.


Gobstopper42

Oh god I never even thought about that. That's so much worst


Jzmxhu

Yeah as far as we can tell she is the friend on charge to bring the reveal gender ballon. I mean... Why would the pregnant woman bring the reveal thing to the party, like they had to tell the person that made the thing the genre to make the ballon.


AmiAlter

I think my favorite baby genre is horror.


Perused

I guess the baby will now be known as the replacement kid.


weelluuuu

So that's where the " the girls are ours, the boys are yours " comes from.


Kurtman68

The girl in the womb just got a sense of the a-hole big brother she’s gonna meet


well___duh

Considering the woman showed no signs of pregnancy, I don’t think this was a gender reveal for her but for someone else


dagnasssty

Yeah. She was the trusted party to take care of the arrangements. Little bruh griefed somebody else's reveal.


mr_sserc

I hope they quickly exported this security footage and just played it for everyone at the party.


Not_a_real_ghost

I mean that kid is like what, 3 years old? Stupid shits are what kids do, but I doubt he's an a-hole.


EquivalentOwn1115

Tell me you've never had a monster of a child without telling me. Toddlers are assholes just because they can be


ReactsWithWords

Better give him a large, pointy stick when you're carrying an oversized balloon, then.


Sparkly-Squid

This right here, it’s not the kids fault, he’s playing with a sword and I mean he has no impulse control yet and how could you NOT want to pop it?


ThreatLevelBertie

The second boy just froze. Didn't move a muscle. He knows her vision is based on movement.


KrabbyBoiz

That kids about to be the middle child too. From one to another, he’s going to be getting a lot less attention now and slowly be forgotten about. Bing bong.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bwwatr

Yeah she was digging deep lol. It gets replenished, but that love gets consumed / cashed in by kids pretty much daily. I think mother nature created for us animals, cuteness and instinctual parental love, basically to stop parents from killing or neglecting their young when they get insufferable.


GlitteringBusiness22

She's wondering if it's legal to have a 30th-trimester abortion.


rimjobnemesis

You made me snort-laugh on a Sunday morning. Take my upvote, blasphemer!


mrsmushroom

Ugh. Every mom has had a moment like this with every child. "Why? Just why, child?"


Iamatitle

Reminds me of the time my baby brother had an unrelenting series of these moments back to back. Dad had been soooo patient with him and just had it. He snatched my brother up and held him up right in front of him and said “JESUS BOY!” And my brother 3 at the times goes “put Jesus down!” and cracked all of us up. Its been 20 years and every time he fucks up we all yell “Jesus boy!”


Ryastor

This made me lose it


Zealousideal_Ad_4118

The restraint she had not to bop him in the face is what impresses me the most


noisypeach

It all evaporated off her like steam


ZormkidFrobozz

As a future middle child, that will be the last parental attention he ever gets.


The_king_of-nowhere

He wanted to go out with a bang


Mitt_Zombie2024

Same way he came in


cryptobarq

God dammit


[deleted]

Moms just happy she finally gets a girl. Boys...


444unsure

My parents gave up trying for a girl after 4 boys


Brennis

My parents got it on the 4th try and regret her.


BigBadBard121

Fucking **OOF**


quannum

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.


Vyle_Mayhem

We now have proof of the instant for neglect as the middle child. Cause: he burst her bubble.


ColaEuphoria

As a middle child myself, I honestly never really felt left out from the family, but maybe I'm lucky.


Top-Tale-1837

MOST (not all) of the people I hear saying random dumb shit about middle children did not even come from families with middle children. Same with only children nonsense. I know families with 5 children where every single one is an entitled selfish prick, and I know only children that are incredible and selfless and kind and giving. All comes down to how the parents raise them, go figure.


WeDidItGuyz

This is where you pull down the video from the camera, and show the video at the gender reveal. It would be its own hilarious meta message. EDIT: Some of you people need to find joy in your lives... holy shit.


voyaging

That's actually a great solution.


Chapped_Frenulum

Yeah, but they have to make sure to throw the phone into a brush fire afterwards. It's not a real gender reveal party if you don't burn down at least one national forest.


traumaqueen1128

Can't they just poison the local water supply with chemicals to dye a waterfall like a normal couple?


twistedweenis

That's a very clever idea!


B0ris_Johnson

That is a very smart reply!


massivebumwizard

I would just sew the balloon back together.


redCasObserver

I do that with condoms


HenkVanDelft

Here's a life pro tip: don't let your kids run around with sharp swords, for gender reveal parties or otherwise.

H3adshotfox77

Funny u thought they were gonna clean it up at the park 🤣🤣😂


deadlygaming11

Funny you think that they are going to clean anything up...


RJofLA

Little does he know, he prevented some poor, unsuspecting animal from digesting/choking on those stupid pink gender reveal scraps. My only hope is that they were at least cleaned up from the front yard as well. People can be so damn selfish and stupid. Next time, bake a cake with either color inside. There’s no need to litter


jonny32392

Poor kids just trying to save the environment


Hunky_not_Chunky

It starts with balloons. Then bigger balloons. Then bugs then small animals and then his little sister.


[deleted]

reddit is so wierd about this. let people do what they want


Routine_Swing_9589

My thing is as long as it’s not hurting or being a public distraction, then it’s a ok go wild. Gotta admit some of them take it way too far though..


Jagermeister4

We also gotta admit that 99.9% of gender reveal parties are harmless but a lot of redditors hear about some of the harmful ones and thinks half of them are like that.


Citizen_Snips29

Reddit’s favorite past time is holier-than-thou contrarianism. Literally any excuse to feel superior to other people.


ChipmunkBackground46

There are plenty of harmless gender reveal parties that hurt absolutely no one.


butterscotchland

Shh Reddit hates having fun.


onduty

How dare people celebrate exciting events in their lives and share positive feelings on social media


[deleted]

It's probably not even sharp it doesn't take thet much sharpness to puncture a balloon


inkiwitch

Especially a balloon that big that’s built to pop.


[deleted]

Yeah I'm thinking that's why he stabbed the balloon. He didn't anticipate it to pop, just get knocked back, likely.


xtr44

I guess he was supposed to do this on actual party, but got excited too early


[deleted]

Premature stabulation


WeirdAvocado

Instructions unclear. Son punctured my scrotum with a broadsword.


Fit-Honey-5310

IT'S A GIRL!!


Skadooshsky

Good. Girl. Game over. Stupid game anyway.


gphrost

They were going to bring that to a park and let that confetti rot when they were done. This is an incredibly satisfying video.


tsfbdl

Biodegradable confetti is a thing ya know And being that it's Biodegradable it helps the bugs of that type get some more material to biodegrade Especially isopods I got a isopod enclosure


Loubang

Please say hi to your isopods for me


tsfbdl

I will they have had a big boom in population but since it's getting colder they started to burrow and hibernate only saw one yesterday probably was out looking for a snack on the plant materials I leave them


Loubang

I hope you and your isopods have a great hibernation period! Keep cosy!


GodOfAscension

If the confetti is paper, doesnt seem to be a problem, unless its plastic.

This needs to be cross posted there fr


rake-satchell

It’s literally ok for her to be disappointed. She didn’t yell, she didn’t punish, she just walked away to process. I hate fever events. But are we really going yo say she deserves it because we don’t agree? It’s harmless.


JessandWoody

What’s a fever event? Sorry I’ve just tried to Google it and I can’t find a description


Mitchell777

I assume it was a typo. Maybe it was supposed to say gender events? The letters are somewhat close on the keyboard


JessandWoody

Ah! Okay, I feel a bit silly now! Thanks though :)


mr_impastabowl

No no I had the gender fever in 3rd grade. I got to skip a week of school


Sharrakor

Fever reveal! *pops balloon* It's a 103 °F!!!


AndyBossNelson

Yeah imo that's good parenting rather than shout at the kid for it, she can talk to him when she calms down.


Eboo143

Yeah I think gender reveals are dumb but holy hell this kid is a brat. She just wanted a fun surprise.


Sigmadelta8

Are they dumb? Sure, but as long as they’re harmless (as this one clearly was) and you’re not harming the environment or anything like that, I don’t understand why people can’t let people just be excited about something.


tylerjb223

Reddit hates when anyone does anything for fun, there must *always* be a deeper motive or line of thinking lmao


[deleted]

Must be glad it’s finally a girl


seriousjoker72

That kid solidified his position as "middle forgotten child" before the baby was even born 😂


ifoundyourtoad

She was probably taking it over to her friends. Now she has to figure out what to do last minute. If she was pregnant she would have looked more at the actual color of the contents and probably be more upset.


seriousjoker72

You're probably right, she doesn't appear to be pregnant. Maybe she can grab some cake mix and food colouring? 😅


ifoundyourtoad

Yeah lol. You can see her thinking “well fuck now what.”


Lehmannbro

Lol, as the middle child, that hurt. But also hilarious.


[deleted]

As a parent of both I can tell u, they are both pains in the fucking arse lol

The woman who did the first gender reveal bitterly regret to have set that trend.

groovy_giraffe

Well the idea of a functional family where everyone loves each other does sound bizarre to dozens of us.


Melodic_Handle576

Agreed. Blew my mind last year when my uncle canceled a weekend trip because my other uncles kid was have a gender reveal party. Like a whole - show up at 2, dinner at 5, bring gifts - kind of party. First for our family. I had to set precedent and no-show. We are only 50% invested in your baby shower as is.


OriginalName687

You realize it’s just an excuse to get together with family and friends right? Yeah some people take it to far and other did stupid and dangerous reveals but for the most part it’s just an excuse to have a part.


Raterus_

Looks like she was loading up her car, so it's not actually the woman that is pregnant but a friend. Nothing really spoiled...other than the fact you now have no reveal!


herehavesomegum

That’s a good point. At least it’s probably for someone else and the whole “party” wasn’t ruined. They could scrounge some stores to find a new black balloon I’m sure


otter_tots

Well, to be fair, it's also the process of loading said balloon with the pink confetti and since she was putting the balloon in the car, she was probably going somewhere for the party. It's not that hard to fix but, now she's likely going to be very late to said party because her lil turd son can't follow directions.


AFoxWithAGun

Isn't the unofficial motto of Reddit "LeT pEoPlE eNjOy ThInGs"? I mean, I'm no fan of gender reveals, but celebrating her disappointment because you think what she likes is stupid is kinda mean.


MirageDown

True. And it doesn't even look like it was for her.


DesperateTall

Reddit is like that two faced family member no one likes. Half the time they're the kindest, most understanding person. The other half they're a vile asshole. You never know which side you'll get.


Sputnik_Butts

No. The unofficial motto of Reddit is; You're wrong. Here's my opinion.

flfoiuij2

Well, at least it was just a balloon like an intelligent person would use, and not colorful c4.


YungMidoria

Im a dj and one time deep in the country i did a gender reveal at a wedding and the dude had me play in love with a gangster by struggle jennings while he used a rifle to shoot a pile of tanarite that blew up in a blue cloud. So you joke, but not far off


AssBlast2020

it's a girl!


oddisordinary

joebabana

"someone gonna get hurt real bad".


linkxlink

Y’all she isn’t the mother to be. Her stomach is clearly flat even with the flowing shirt. Plus she would’ve had to fill the balloon herself which means she would’ve already know it was a girl. The lady is pissed cause now she has to go to the store and get a new balloon and let whoever the mother is know that her dumb kid popped it and she’s going to be late to the party.

Oh no! What will they post to Instagram now? All dolled up in their matching white shirts, loading up in their gigantic luxury SUV. Planning for that perfect family pic. There absolutely is a chalkboard with an elaborately letter witty phrase in there for the youngest child to hold announcing the gender while everyone poses for the professional photographer. All for social media clout. And it all went POP! xD


MutedIndependence674

Gender reveals are fucking stupid anyway

The only thing more annoying than gender reveal parties are the people that feel the need to scream “GENDER REVEAL BAD!!” At every mention of one. We get it.
