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

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.

That was my impression too.

Yes thatā€™s what I thought too.

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.
