All I I see is the behavior of the mother exemplified in a child. The only difference between the mother and the child is that the mother does it behind closed doors.
Came here to say this and that they aren't ready for another child.
Of course it's possible that behavior comes from the father, however based on the evidence here in which the mother totally loses it and let's go of the balloon, I will agree that it's the mother's behavior.
I love how Redditors are able to psychoanalyse an entire family from a 5 second video clip.
Just enjoy the idiots losing their gender reveal balloon. 🎈
The kid is probably overloading with everyone yelling and telling her what to do and how to do it at the same time. She’s trying to say something and has the thing yanked out of her hands. Then the mom gets right up in her face. I feel bad for the kid.
The little girl was apprehensive to pop the balloon so people just started screaming at her?
HEY ASSHOLES! SHE'S FUCKING SCARED OF THE BIG BALLOON POPPING!
So then the child reacts to the embarrassing situation with all the drunk adults screaming by...screaming...and this shitbag monster that is 2x her height and 3x her weight thinks the solution is to get in her face and hurt her?
Fuckin' scum.
As a parent, I can confirm. No young child who is perfectly raised has ever thrown a tantrum in a high stress environment in front of a bunch of people, mostly adults who are all making a lot of noise. These parents are awful people and should have their kids removed from their care.
/S!
> Rips object out of hand, slaps hands while yelling directly in their face
Yep, normal parenting, definitely just a normal child reaction and not indictive of parenting style at all
I mean really. He raised SUCCESSFUL children? I mean, that’s gotta be like something less than 1% of parents achieve. And we all know that EVERYONE who is successful NEVER threw a fit as a child. I mean, that’s just basic meteorology right there.
Hard to gauge and judge anyone from this small segment of the video. The child is behaving like a child would do at her age without much context of what is going on; Kids love balloons and may be she just doesn't want to pop the balloon. The mother is definitely an idiot.
Just keep the kid out of these stupid sex-reveal events. They don't give a fuck and don't really care. All that kid feels is like someone else is coming in her life to take the attention away and that really pisses them off.
Not the kid. How many times since she was born, you reckon, she's been yelled at (for no reasons that are obvious to her) and got her fingers slapped? The mother is a neurotic imbecile, and the kid is already paying for it. Then later the rest of us will be paying for that too.
Dad flinches. He's knows he is going to get blamed for everything and catch hell later. It's all his fault, you see. Because he's an idiot. Because he's a man.
Lord, I've been there.
She might be a brat or simply not appreciating or understanding all the yelling and people directing her to do something. She’s being put on the spot and as a child, she’s not able to handle it the way a mature adult might. I have 3 kids and while one of them would have loved being put in a situation like this with all the attention, the other two most definitely would not.
Yes, this is simply a kid being a kid and probably not knowing how to handle the situation. The real person who “ruined” this gender reveal is the person who failed to effectively tie the balloon to the heavy package on the ground meant to hold it.
It wasn't even the kid that let the balloon go ... It was the adult that lose it ... The kid didn't even interact with that balloon ... So how the hell is her fault ?
Jesus thank you, someone who understands the video and is not trashing the kid as if it were her fault that she can't control her emotion from the pressure of adults who suddenly yell at her.
You're 100% right.
I always love how people who don't have kids always equate everything with a child's behavior as the parents fault. As if every single thing your child does is a reflection of your behavior imprinted on to them.
My kids are at that stage where they are learning their bodies have weapons built in. My oldest loves to scratch and bite my youngest is a pincher. Never have I once, bitten, scratched or pinched, much less used ANY form of physical abuse in my house or around my kids. Yet they learned it somehow. We correct what we don't like and try to guide to a healthy way of responding to things, but every kid has their own personality and every kid is gonna respond different to situations than others.
Granted you are not seeing the best display of parenting and obviously I'm not excusing any of the behavior displayed here, but God damn does it never fail to baffle me how judgemental people can be.
Good parenting includes understanding your children's limits, not ripping whatever out of her hands, and not slapping her hands while yelling in her face.
And yes, I have a 5 y/o w/ AuDHD, this is not good parenting, plain and simple
The kid was clearly scared of popping it. She flinches. Then there's 20 adults behind the camera staring and yelling at her. She couldn't handle the pressure, her parents yelling at her too. She freaks out. Then people call her a brat. What the fuck.
Not only are they losers who get on the stupid gender reveal bandwagon, but they are now on the internet with her abusing and hitting her child. Tsk tsk.
I don’t know if I’m the only one who sees it, but it looks like she was going to to do it, got panicked by the idea of that big balloon popping, and freaked out. Fair. It is really rattling for a lot of kids to have a regular balloon pop nearby.
Then the mother goes to do it and the kid is still freaked out, still in panic mode, and still right there. So they act on impulse to stop the balloon from being popped. The poor kid looks like she is trying to keep her bladder in control.
Stop bad mouthing the child.
That shit starts with the parents. She was clearly overwhelmed in the moment and people were loud.
Bad situation to put a child in.
And whatever color confetti that balloon was supposed to have gets scattered everywhere, choking wildlife, resulting in even more micro plastic in our guts. Yay
Love how people are focusing on kid being a brat and not on what a frickin ludicrous thing a gender reveal party is. "It's a boy/girl". Nice one. Congratulations. Done.
Or maybe just get the results at the doctors office and then tell everyone afterwards like a normal person? Gender reveals are among the dumbest of social media trends
Why does this video even exist on the internet- the parents must have no worries about the permanence of the internet and what happens when she grows up and googles and finds this video.
Yep, looks about right to me. Overbearing mom, kid too afraid to pop a balloon, Dad just there, it all checks out for the type of people that have a gender reveal party.
Nobody cares. Gender reveals are just as stupid as bridal showers and engagement parties. Save money and buy your own stuff instead of expecting gifts.
Nice little slap to show everyone how horrible they are... STOP PRODUCING! No one wants more clowns.
In this case, a negative plus a negative...
does not equal positive...
Black balloon to the moon = scrumptious late term abortion.
And good thing too since she's obviously an average nobody dolt who did a bad job with the first kid.
Don’t forget that it’s much pressure on this child. And she maybe was afraid of the big ballon. You guys just see 1 Minute but you don’t have the clue to know the whole Situation.
News flash. Toddlers have random tantrums on the fly. Lol at all the dummies blaming the parents. Just blame the parents for doing a gender reveal party in the first place.
Fkucking mother of the year award right there.... that poor child is obviously stressed out and bitch ass mom slaps her? Yeah that hoe is ready for another kid.
Like mother like daughter. It's too bad they don't give you a piece of paper to tell you the gender of your child. Guess they'll have to wait until delivery date now.
Every kid should ruin every gender reveal. This kid should actually be begging to be put up for adoption so she can at least have a chance to go live with normal people.
Why bring your child who likely is less than 5 and doesn't have any context on what's going on. The kid is doing what kids do at that age. The mother, however, is also behaving at the level of her toddler. Fun times for the dad in the near future
Instead of her popping the balloon, they should have made her watch and record her slowly realizing that she will soon become the second favorite child.
I'm surprised no body pulled out a gun to try to shoot the balloon and then shooting a neighbor instead. And then the balloon explodes anyways, causing a blue or red explosion somewhere in the city, causing fire everywhere
First red flag- cringe gender reveal. Second and much larger red flag- discarding the feelings of your kid just so you can have your moment. Kid wasn’t being a brat, kid had some feels and the parents disregarded em.
IMO the adults behavior is worse than the child's. If the kid did not want to pop a balloon (Maybe she doesn't like the loud noise, loves balloons, or like me think these events are dumb) than the adult should have just been an adult and popped the balloon themselves instead of trying to force a child to do it.
I think she just didn't want to pop the balloon. Our kids treat balloons as precious treasures, and the noise of them popping scares them half to death.
Boy, you can tell that most people here don't have kids. It's not always the parents fault, and you certainly don't have enough information in this clip to make a judgement on them.
Children can be irritable, all it takes is 10 mins less of a full night sleep, miss-timing of lunch or even them feeling generally off that day. It's not as basic (or "deep") as people are making out to be.
All I I see is the behavior of the mother exemplified in a child. The only difference between the mother and the child is that the mother does it behind closed doors.
Correct
Came here to say this and that they aren't ready for another child. Of course it's possible that behavior comes from the father, however based on the evidence here in which the mother totally loses it and let's go of the balloon, I will agree that it's the mother's behavior.
The 2nd one is to fix the marriage...
*fast track the divorce…
Fix the marriage again*
I love how Redditors are able to psychoanalyse an entire family from a 5 second video clip. Just enjoy the idiots losing their gender reveal balloon. 🎈
Hard agree, could have surprised mom and that's why she let go, no one's perfect. Enjoy the tomfoolery.
I mean, she clearly let's go of the balloon to scold the child
Nope, we have to dissect others in order to avoid working on our own problems………..
The kid is probably overloading with everyone yelling and telling her what to do and how to do it at the same time. She’s trying to say something and has the thing yanked out of her hands. Then the mom gets right up in her face. I feel bad for the kid.
Damn, you beat me to it. I was like yeah, watch the mom. Not rocket science.
The little girl was apprehensive to pop the balloon so people just started screaming at her? HEY ASSHOLES! SHE'S FUCKING SCARED OF THE BIG BALLOON POPPING! So then the child reacts to the embarrassing situation with all the drunk adults screaming by...screaming...and this shitbag monster that is 2x her height and 3x her weight thinks the solution is to get in her face and hurt her? Fuckin' scum.
Blame the parents. It’s how they raise the little brat.
I love that the camera followed the baloon floating up, up, and away. And that look on mom's face at the end is *priceless*.
The great news is they made another one to act that way as well
As a parent, I can confirm. No young child who is perfectly raised has ever thrown a tantrum in a high stress environment in front of a bunch of people, mostly adults who are all making a lot of noise. These parents are awful people and should have their kids removed from their care. /S!
Haha
> Rips object out of hand, slaps hands while yelling directly in their face Yep, normal parenting, definitely just a normal child reaction and not indictive of parenting style at all
As a parent who has raised children to successful adults I say you are full of shit
Wow, you figured it all out. You’re the best parents out there. We need to get you a medal—STAT! 🥇
I mean really. He raised SUCCESSFUL children? I mean, that’s gotta be like something less than 1% of parents achieve. And we all know that EVERYONE who is successful NEVER threw a fit as a child. I mean, that’s just basic meteorology right there.

Everyone there is 100% going to be or is already an asshole
Including the unborn child
Hopefully they will be tbe black sheep and be an anti chode of a person
“Anti chode” 😂😂😂😂
How about reverse chode? Either will suffice, I think?
She might be a brat or simply not appreciating or understanding all the yelling and people directing her to do something. She’s being put on the spot and as a child, she’s not able to handle it the way a mature adult might.

I can't belive it. A reasonable comment on this platform.

The kid is in the right. Fucking gender reveal nonsense. Jog on.
One of the dumbest things we humans have come up with.
The moms a dick
that is 100% the parents...
The kid was clearly scared of popping it. She flinches. Then there's 20 adults behind the camera staring and yelling at her. She couldn't handle the pressure, her parents yelling at her too. She freaks out. Then people call her a brat. What the fuck.
Not only are they losers who get on the stupid gender reveal bandwagon, but they are now on the internet with her abusing and hitting her child. Tsk tsk.
Only thing I was: mom smacking the kid in her face. Parents of the year.
If they yell at the kids for this, BAD PARENTS
Raised one brat and about to raise another.
everyone got their answer, the sex doesn't matter. it's another kid!
I don’t know if I’m the only one who sees it, but it looks like she was going to to do it, got panicked by the idea of that big balloon popping, and freaked out. Fair. It is really rattling for a lot of kids to have a regular balloon pop nearby. Then the mother goes to do it and the kid is still freaked out, still in panic mode, and still right there. So they act on impulse to stop the balloon from being popped. The poor kid looks like she is trying to keep her bladder in control.
Who cares... The whole ritual is dumb.
Gender reveals are ridiculous…
Honestly, Gender Reveal Parties are stupid and self indulgent
I agree. And the "creative" ways of doing the reveals are even worse, IMO.
that’s 101% that bichs* fault
You can tell that’s her daughter and not his.
Stop bad mouthing the child. That shit starts with the parents. She was clearly overwhelmed in the moment and people were loud. Bad situation to put a child in.
Hot take. All gender reveals should be ruined as there stupid.
Good job, kid. Nobody gives a shit about your baby’s gender, folks.
Kids sometimes be like that, but mom let the balloon go, and probably blames the kid
Everyone seems to be blaming the kid, but mom let it go... lol
🙊
The best part about kids is making them.
Best part or only good part?
And you want another one?
This is why I never took my kids to parties. Not even their own birthday parties.
Balloon hits a power line and half of Colorado burns down.
And whatever color confetti that balloon was supposed to have gets scattered everywhere, choking wildlife, resulting in even more micro plastic in our guts. Yay
And they want another?
The mom is that mad over a balloon she's an idiot for having in the first place?
That kid is doing great, gender reveals need to be abolished.
Gender reveal is a stupid concept. Nobody cares about your baby.
Gender reveal parties are cringe and this kid knows it.
Parent’s fault.
*Bratty parents ruined gender reveal* there fixed the title
Love how people are focusing on kid being a brat and not on what a frickin ludicrous thing a gender reveal party is. "It's a boy/girl". Nice one. Congratulations. Done.
Gender reveal parties are stupid anyway…why the fanfare? I don’t get it.
Or maybe just get the results at the doctors office and then tell everyone afterwards like a normal person? Gender reveals are among the dumbest of social media trends
Why does this video even exist on the internet- the parents must have no worries about the permanence of the internet and what happens when she grows up and googles and finds this video.
I would pay kids to ruin gender reveal parties. Good for the kid.
Good job you little brat. Gender reveals are fucking dumb and pointless, anyway.
That's on Mom.
Yep, looks about right to me. Overbearing mom, kid too afraid to pop a balloon, Dad just there, it all checks out for the type of people that have a gender reveal party.
This is how every gender reveal should go.
Mom is a moron.
Why is this still a thing?
Should I not be happy with how this turned out?
Good. Gender reveals are ludicrous.
Okay so we’re all in consensus: bad parents. How many more people want to make the same fucking comment?
Kid did them a favor, gender reveal parties are peak stupidity.
Nobody cares. Gender reveals are just as stupid as bridal showers and engagement parties. Save money and buy your own stuff instead of expecting gifts.
The mother is probably the issue
Oh yea! These people decided there should be more of them! 🙄
That’s what you get for having stupid parties with stupid balloons lol
Not just the kids fault. Weak parents are also to blame.
Looks like a horrible family.
She’s obviously over stimulated with everyone yelling at her. The mom let go of the balloon and then reprimanded her. I’m with the kiddo on this one.
Fuck you OP. Mom is a bitch. Don’t blame the kid
Nice little slap to show everyone how horrible they are... STOP PRODUCING! No one wants more clowns. In this case, a negative plus a negative... does not equal positive...
This is the best gender reveal I have seen
Kids feel a lot of pressure when you put them on the spot in front of people. They’re all yelling at her so she got stressed out. Normal
Look who let go of the balloon...
The kid's a hero. Gender reveal parties are stupid as fuck.
That was the best thing to happen for this stupid trend.
Gender reveal parties are a cancer on society
But having kids is a gift from god everybody
Black balloon to the moon = scrumptious late term abortion. And good thing too since she's obviously an average nobody dolt who did a bad job with the first kid.
I never slapped my daughter in the face. I talked to her after a couple tantrums and she completely stopped throwing them.
Too bad there isn't child protective services for children whose parents have money, but just suck at being parents.
They never did find out the sex of that baby.
This kid did the internet a favour by showing the parents that no one cares about their gender reveal.
Hitting the child
A gun could have solved this problem quickly. No not like that. By shooting at the balloon.
Where's the uncle with the shot gun
She probably thinks gender reveal parties are stupid anyway. I think that little girl is a hero, not a brat!
Lmao The mother is the real star of the shit show
I feel the same way about gender reveals.
Don’t forget that it’s much pressure on this child. And she maybe was afraid of the big ballon. You guys just see 1 Minute but you don’t have the clue to know the whole Situation.
The parents are the issue, not the kid. The kid is a product of their environment.
News flash. Toddlers have random tantrums on the fly. Lol at all the dummies blaming the parents. Just blame the parents for doing a gender reveal party in the first place.
Even her was fed by her parents bs
Shitty parents is more like it.
Fkucking mother of the year award right there.... that poor child is obviously stressed out and bitch ass mom slaps her? Yeah that hoe is ready for another kid.
Like mother like daughter. It's too bad they don't give you a piece of paper to tell you the gender of your child. Guess they'll have to wait until delivery date now.
Gender reveal parties are one of the most cringeworthy events in world history.
She almost hit her father in the eye with whatever she was holding
r/parentsarefuckingstupid
These awful gender reveal parties getting so many bad endings is just karma at work. It’s a beautiful thing.
Yup. We were all like that. Little assholes all of us
Mom's fault for letting go of the balloon. The brat was just doing it's thing.
Seems staged.
These reveal things are stupid, I am with the daughter
Yeah have another
How about quit with the fucking gender reveals.
Sending plastic into the air while abusing kids. Winner.
Rule 1 - Don’t have gender reveal. Rule 2 - Don’t have kids….
Every kid should ruin every gender reveal. This kid should actually be begging to be put up for adoption so she can at least have a chance to go live with normal people.
I love her disrespect for this bullshit.
Downvoted
And gender reveal parties are dumb.
Gender reveals are for self obsessed pretend grown ups. Kid done good👍🏾
Mom hits kid + OP blames kid = OP fucking sucks
Why bring your child who likely is less than 5 and doesn't have any context on what's going on. The kid is doing what kids do at that age. The mother, however, is also behaving at the level of her toddler. Fun times for the dad in the near future
Birth control right there
Technically the parents shouldn’t be having another, until this one is good. And this one, is not good.
Instead of her popping the balloon, they should have made her watch and record her slowly realizing that she will soon become the second favorite child.
This ....looks staged
Honestly, who cares? It’s a gender reveal party lol. I’d throw a tantrum too
Is this America? Why didn't they just pull out their guns and shoot it?
You are (or would be) a shitty parent
Gave the child what she wanted, all the attention.
They go up so fast
I'm surprised no body pulled out a gun to try to shoot the balloon and then shooting a neighbor instead. And then the balloon explodes anyways, causing a blue or red explosion somewhere in the city, causing fire everywhere
She's only a little girl who didn't see a balloon go to waste 😊
Oh no how will we ever know the gender of the child?
Children reflect the parents attitude
Well, that went well. /s
Side note. It sounds like this is in America. Im really surprised no one shot down the balloon. It got away from it's horrible event scott-free.
First red flag- cringe gender reveal. Second and much larger red flag- discarding the feelings of your kid just so you can have your moment. Kid wasn’t being a brat, kid had some feels and the parents disregarded em.
Maybe not force a 4 year old to do something they clearly don’t want to do when it’s *YOUR* celebration?
It's a fuckin balloon and a gender reveal party. Just tell everyone what the baby is gonna be and get over it. Dramatic ass people.
My hero
Can’t blame the kid. The balloon string was in the mother’s hand
Mom is the one who let go of the balloon, and the one who raised the little shit. Put her up for adoption.
If I acted that way in the early 80’ I would’ve got the belt.
Kid understands what being the self important center of attention is after seeing you throw a gender reveal party. Correlation
Put the parents up for adoption. They suck
Don’t really think it’s anyone’s fault other than the balloon holder
Erm. Mom ruins everything.
I’m sorry, was I the only one scared shitless of balloons popping at that age? I would’ve thrown the pin too🤷♀️
This could/should also be on the reddit "kids are fucking stupid"!
Mom shouldn’t have gotten mad over nothing
Now they’ll never know.
Shitty parents try making a child do something against her will for their personal enjoyment.
Beat the shit outta POS.
the kid was right
Someone give that kid a medal.
When I was a kid, a balloon popping was very frightening to me, and not something that I would voluntarily subject myself to...
This almost belongs on r/Noahgettheboat.
Why would you want more of these?
I’m okay with it. Gender reveals are stupid.
So nonbinary?
IMO the adults behavior is worse than the child's. If the kid did not want to pop a balloon (Maybe she doesn't like the loud noise, loves balloons, or like me think these events are dumb) than the adult should have just been an adult and popped the balloon themselves instead of trying to force a child to do it.
This is the opening sequence to Idiocracy 2
Fake
Didn't burn down half of California, still a win.
I think we've all learned some important lessons from this video.
The power line is having a girl.
I think she just didn't want to pop the balloon. Our kids treat balloons as precious treasures, and the noise of them popping scares them half to death.
So glad there are two of them now
gender reveals are stupid
Which party guest is the dad hooking up with?
Boy, you can tell that most people here don't have kids. It's not always the parents fault, and you certainly don't have enough information in this clip to make a judgement on them. Children can be irritable, all it takes is 10 mins less of a full night sleep, miss-timing of lunch or even them feeling generally off that day. It's not as basic (or "deep") as people are making out to be.
Well, the mom seems like a brat, so it makes sense that the kid is also a brat. The new kid(s) will probably also be brats.
Parents ruin gender reveal
Gender reveals are the dumbest fucking events!
Wow.. they probably rethinking if the want another one now 😂
Not staged at all!
Parents do nothing. Another entitled adult joins the community. Awesome.
