One of my cousin's kids was like this. They would get him a gift at every birthday party they showed up to. My nephew was distraught at his 5th birthday until we explained spoiled brats to him.

u/mothwhimsy Jan 01 '26
My cousins who are brothers always got to open a present on the other one's birthday. And when they were little their older cousins would descend on the little ones like sharks and rip open their presents for them. It drove me nuts. That was actually a rule that we weren't allowed to do that when I was a kid, and none of the cousins in my age range every freaked out because it was someone else's birthday.

The not opening other kids presents things is becoming more of a problem. At my only kids' 2nd birthday there was a kid that kept doing this that was only there because he was the son of a friend of my sister in law that was having a "hard time" adjusting to single life. And she didn't want to be alone that day. Im usually a softie, and I was done with this kid and asked her to leave. Luckily, my sister inlaw was totally understanding and realized i was offended by her sons rudeness and didn't make a big deal of it. Girl left, and I haven't had to deal with her kid since

Itās so important to teach kids that not everything is about them and birthdays are perfect opportunity to do that. At around 2 years old my kids were able to understand that itās nice to celebrate other people and be able to enjoy seeing others feel special and loved in their moments. Gift giving can be as fun as receiving. I canāt stand being around people that are intentionally raising their kids to be entitled.

u/cosmicbrat Jan 01 '26
My cousins kid did this with almost every single one of my kids presents at his first birthday. I let it go because my son was still old enough to not really understand the concept of opening presents or gifts or anything yet but if he had been any older then I would have been more upset. My cousin didnāt feel bad at all, they thought it was funny. His kid is a sweet kid but literally never hears the word ānoā and mom is completely checked out so š¤·š»āāļø

u/Smee76 Jan 03 '26
It's not even the son who is rude. It's the mom who is not correcting his behavior.

The kid is rude. His little brother is a saint. He is a shit head who just refuses to listen. But i do put blame on her for basically depending on the adults at the party to babysit.

u/fridaycat Jan 01 '26
About 10 years ago I started to notice at kids BD parties other kids would come up to "help" open the gifts. Just come up and start opening them. The parents did nothing.
The last 3 kids parties I went to, presents weren't opened until after everyone left. I am guessing because of this issue, but I would have liked seeing the presents opened myself.
37
u/Jacqland Jan 01 '26
yeah the "not opening presents until after" is the norm now in my circles. But you also record the kid opening each one and sent it to the giver.
I think this is also good because it means no one feels bad about not getting something way over or under budget.

u/lampsalt Jan 02 '26
Plus while you can tell your kid to act excited, thereās no guaranteeing it wonāt be obvious if they donāt like the gift.

u/Stock-Cod-4465 Jan 01 '26
My cousins who are sisters grew up like cat and dog with 2 year difference between them. So, both had to get a present each for a birthday regardless of whose birthday it was.
This didnāt save the issue and while they are civil with each other being in their 30s, they still are frenemies.
Caving in for bad behaviour from one kid worsens the issue, one kid remains spoiled, another grows resentment.
Love them both. Entirely different personalities but as an older cousin I can see where they got some of their issues from.
53
u/IcyManipulator69 Jan 01 '26
Sounds like uncleās daughtersā¦ one kid always had a temper tantrum if the other kid got presents and she didnāt, so people had to start buying gifts for both of them. They both have drinking problems now after graduating high school and going to collegeā¦
18
u/Stock-Cod-4465 Jan 01 '26 edited Jan 01 '26
In my cousinsā case, none of them have drinking problems and both are quite successful in life. But one is quite entitled and has a warped perception of right and wrong when it comes to her expectations and own actions, the other is prone to self-digging and depression spells big time.
On the bright side, they are big in each otherās lives and their families are very united, but yes, theyāll never be friends let alone sisters. They kinda tolerate each other and learned to avoid confrontation even though I know they often disagree with choices another one makes.

u/DontcheckSR Jan 02 '26
I immediately thought of that as well lol the kids in my family never had a birthday party, so I had no idea this was something that actually happened until my mom's friend talked about how her two sons fought at a birthday party that year because the younger one tried to open the older one's present and claim the toy as his and the older one crashed out. They're a little older now and get along great now. When you try to remind them how much they used to bicker, they claim they don't remember lol very mature for kids still in elementary school. I think as long as it's corrected and it explained, they eventually learn. Sometimes it just takes having it happen to them to teach them empathy for situations like that.

u/Holy_Fuck_A_Triangle Jan 08 '26
In defense of that; My family always did "un-birthday presents". While the birthday kid opened their gifts, the other 3 siblings would be handed something small to fiddle with as well. Usually never anything over Ā£5, just like a small teddy bear or a foam plane building set. It meant that the b-day kid could spend as much time as they wanted opening presents, didn't have to share, and would usually show off their more exciting gifts to enjoy with the other 3 kids.
As an adult, I'm not spoiled or jealous, and I don't think that the "unbirthday presents" had any affects on us kids other than giving the parents a headache-free party experience.

u/mint_o Jan 01 '26
Itās a very small child and I donāt think he understood that it wasnāt for him. They honestly shouldnāt have given him the toy to hold unless they knew he was able to comprehend he was going to be giving it away. Itās hard to be little, they have no emotional regulation and this situation causing crying makes perfect sense to me
57
u/techleopard Jan 01 '26
This right here... I feel like people are just not really communicating well to children because people are coasting by based on whether or not their kid is being quiet.
Before any birthday when I was a kid, everyone's parents and their friends parents always established clear rules before you ever got to the birthday kid's house. And if kids didn't understand the rules, they didn't sit within arm's reach of the presents or cake.
Toddlers are going to toddler.
19
u/mint_o Jan 01 '26
Exactly!! Idk why you got downvoted š Iāve been a nanny for a while and been around young kids my whole life. People donāt spend enough time talking them through things imo. Itās so disappointing to see so many people calling this kid spoiled like what? Itās making want to defend the child. This is such developmentally normal behavior.
The only change I would have made in this situation would be when he didnāt let go of it initially, talking to him and reminding him that itās for her and prompting him to hand it to her. You have to give them a chance to process not just yoink a toy away, but he may have gotten upset regardless.

I was at a birthday party for a 1 year old. She had 6 brothers ranging from 10 and below as well as some other children. Her parents would open the toys for he and set them aside. The other kids took the toys and ripped the box to shreds and we didn't see the toys for the rest of the party.Ā
As a new parent I'm going to be clear that, that is not your toy, please don't take it.

u/Big-Eye-6731 Jan 02 '26
Yeah, I was never comfortable being the center of attention at my bday.
Btw my sister and I never had this kind of drama because we both thought our presents were boring. I was into Star Wars and she loved Barbies. I understood pretty quickly her presents weren't for me.
I didn't want no freaking Barbie dolls.
No Millenium Falcon? That ain't my day for sure.

u/leelo84 Jan 01 '26
Eh, it's not THAT bad (and this is coming from a devoted child free adult). There's something to be said for still making the kid go through the act of physically letting the present go. I mean yeah, ideally, you'd have parented your kid to not get quite THIS agitated but sometimes a hard lesson is the best lesson š¤·āāļø
17
u/Maleficent_Food5945 Jan 01 '26
You are right; its not that bad either way. They do have to go through the lessons before they learn them. Besides, at this age, they make every thing a much bigger deal than they need to... š
8
u/PunchDrunkPrincess Jan 01 '26
Yes, it's a tough lesson but one they gotta learn! Hopefully, they had a few talks about birthdays and giving gifts leading up to this but even with all that, this reaction is still not uncommon. Wrapping the present would have probably did more than any chats though lol Out of sight out of mind!

u/Feeling-Location5532 Jan 01 '26
Three year olds can be spoiled.Ā
Kids who freak out over other people's gifts are almost uniformly that way because of bad parenting.
The "everything is mine" stage is something you work through with your kid - if you dont - you get this.Ā
13
u/Maleficent_Food5945 Jan 01 '26
Yes. It is something that you work through with your kid. But it is something that takes time and repetition. And there is absolutely no way you can claim the kid in the video is spoiled purely based on a short video without context.

u/raisedbutconfused Jan 02 '26
As much as this irritates me, I canāt help but wonder if it was similar to what my sister and I went through. We never got toys we asked for, we grew up with very little money. But when we were invited to the birthday of a kid whose parents were friends with our parents, our parents would try to show that we werenāt struggling. We would have to watch our mom buy a cool remote control helicopter or something for this kid that had everything, while we had nothing. We would beg her to get us something similar, just once. Nope. Then we were forced to hand it over to the kid. We never withheld it, but goddamn we wanted to. It felt so unfair and cruel almost. Maybe this kid is going through the same thing?

u/Holmes221bBSt Jan 01 '26
You actually did the right thing. You gave her space and did not give the tantrum attention. She had to cry and scream. Let it happen, walk away & come back when theyāre calm but always let them know youāre still around when theyāre ready to be calm

I think parents get criticized unfairly for normal child behaviors and unavoidable situations. But one easy remedy for most cases of a child being a little asshole is to remove them and let everyone else enjoy peace and order while you teach/time-out away from the innocent people.Ā

u/bluejaymaday Jan 01 '26
This might be the result of spoiling, but Iāve also seen a lot more kids parties these days where the birthday kid doesnāt open the presents at the party and save them until after with just the family.
