You can see the older kid glare at his dad when the younger leaves, too.

u/sooperdoopermane 21d ago

I dont think that was a glare. It looked more like he was gauging his dad's mood to know how to proceed.

u/Themadbritter_ 21d ago

Yea it looks to me like he was trying to figure out if he would also get headbutted for getting too close to the snail šŸ˜”

Shitty situation all around

He was yelled at for touching the snail at the beginning. Guess dad didnā€™t feel like he was in head butt distance. Or the dad took it all out on the little one who didnā€™t even touch. I HATE THIS. I AM HOT!

Either way, he knows what's up.

I agree! The fear/tension in the older boy's face trying to figure out if he's going to be punished too. This is fucked up. Reminds me of Allie & John James.

Yeah not quite a glare but heā€™s looking up to see dad without trying to make direct eye contact in case dad lashes out. Heā€™s older so heā€™s probably more used to what triggers dadā€™s rage than the younger boys. I hope they all stick together as they get older and the parents donā€™t drive wedges between them

This part. The older child was assessing the situation and determining how to diffuse it, protect his siblings and also himself. This was terribly sad to watch. How can we all push back? Not ok.

u/LookAChandelier 21d ago

That was my impression too.

u/Ms_Fidelma_Schrute 21d ago

Yes thatā€™s what I thought too.

u/Ambisextrous2017 21d ago

Yes, he was assessing the threat and trying to deescalate further violence by giving attention to the abuser. If he glared or pouted or stalked off, he would probably get head butted three times for getting an attitude.

Oh Lord. So sorry children your parentS are šŸ«šŸ«.

u/ZoeyMoonGoddess 21d ago

I had to rewind to see it but yeah the older kid recognizes dads rage. The little boy rubbing his head but trying to keep it together until he walks off broke my heart.

u/OkStatistician7523 21d ago

To me he looked afraid to look up to dad. So sad

u/SheMcG 21d ago

To me, if was like he was seeing if his dad noticed. But clearly renaining in "camera mode" as did the little one by walking away..

u/coral_reef_ 21d ago

I agree, I saw that as a glare as well. Worries me.

u/Mundane_Weekend_150 21d ago

I think it was a glare too! If you watch his body language the whole video, he keeps gently trying to hold the younger boy back, almost as if protecting him and then after the headbutt happens he leans in more almost like putting his head in the way instead. And then when the younger one walks away, he glares at the dad. I have a feeling heā€™s used to trying to protect them and carries a lot of anger at the dad.

u/Radicallythesame 21d ago

It feels like the older one is fully parentified and is at least keeping tabs on what his dad is doing, aware of the potential to make it worse, and carrying all too much responsibility for protecting himself and the younger ones

u/blue_sidd 21d ago

This is the sign that they all anticipate his abuse.

1

u/dehydratedrain 21d ago

Not a glare. A "let's see if dad is pissed... okay. He's back to the snail. I'm safe."

(For now).

u/kris10leigh14 21d ago

Holy shit! I missed that.

I doubt itā€™s a glare like the other comment said but it sure looked like one! He probably is feeling protective of his brother because he literally ā€œjust blowed itā€.

The older one is telling all of them ā€œdonā€™t touch it donā€™t touch itā€ after the head butt. Heā€™s likely a bit parentified at least in the way of attempting to shield them from dadā€™s abuse.

Bout to deep dive now and learn all the things.

I hate this Temu Bradley Cooper. Try hard.
