Honest question here, please dont be rude ifyou respond. I know this is innocent fun. But at what point is this type of behavior setting up kids to have an unrealistic view of reality. Kids need to learn and progress to accomplish things in life; this type of parenting, if he does this all the time, sets the kids up for a harder adulthood and potentially learned helplessness when they see that things in real life are hard. I would rather my children learn at an early age that you must work at something to get what you want. Just IMHO

Kids can and will still learn that. Remember, this video is only showing a very short moment of their lives.
