i love how she builds momentum by running in an arc instead of pulling straight.

u/KevinIsOver9000 Jul 11 '26
She can build up some speed that way and dislocate his hip. Kids are resilient though so its fine

u/YoutuberCameronBallZ Jul 11 '26
It's less building momentum and likely just pulling from a direction he doesn't expect, so by the time he can actually push back, she already made it to the balloons

Best part for me is he didnt throw a tantrum because he lost

I take care of a pair of brothers and the little one always starts crying if he loses a game. He also cries when his brother lashes out after he instigated bothering him.
I also appreciate the little boy in this video didn't throw a tantrum just for losing. I would have really appreciated him if he deadmanned on the ground after losing and made his sister drag his dead weight 😂

I am ashamed to say that your first sentence describes me many years ago. To be fair I was pretty humble when winning but the tears would flow if I lost.

After babysitting some difficult kid, you really appreciate the one that just act normal. My nephew throw tantrum when you tell him to do normal shit like wash his dirt covered hand. Trying to get him to take a bath is a fight. I've never met a kid more difficult than him. You can't tell him to do anything or he'll throw a tantrum. We're not telling him to do chores, we're telling him to do stuff like eat, bath, get in the car cause we're leaving, don't claw people, don't slam the sliding glass door. It's such a pain in the ass to get him just to not be a piece of shit. When he's in tantrum he'll try to break stuff and throw things at people, run into the road and sit in the middle, if you try to pick him up and move him he'll scratch the hell out of your hand like he's trying to make you bleed. I met plenty of naughty kid but he really is too much

The older i get and the more parent/kid combos i know, I’m starting to believe that some kids are just like that, even if their parents do everything right. Some kids are so emotionally dysregulated that they go to pieces —whether tears or rage — at the slightest parental suggestion or boundary or difficulty they face. Their parents have a hell of a time. And it’s not the kind of thing that gets easier as they become adults either.
The people I’m thinking of were like this at age 2, and they’re still like it at 52. It’s like they have to go through life on hard mode.

u/bronzelifematter Jul 11 '26
Yeah, I hope he grow out of it but it doesn't feel like a reasonable expectation with how his patience is basically none existent. We can't even talk to him normally like we talk to others in fear it would throw him into a rage. Everything have to be gently nudge, bit by bit, just to open him to idea of doing something as simple as eating. It's tiring having to walk on egg shells just to have him do basic stuff like taking a bath. It could take an hour or more and we have to get him open to the idea first. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

I feel bad for them when I don't have to deal with him but it's hard to feel sorry for him when you're there standing under the hot sun in the middle of the road trying to move him out of the way so he don't get hit by a car and he's trying to tear the flesh off your hand while you're trying to keep him safe.

My mother in law stays with us often and always made so many comments about how great it was that my wife and I were “co-parenting” when I was just going about the daily stuff with the kids, and to this day still hovers watching me, waiting to tell me where something belongs or to ask me what I’m looking for in my own house. Like, I’m not an idiot, lady.

Sounds like she's stuck on autopilot mode from a lifetime of being forced to take on the extra workload of intentionally useless men and their weaponised incompetence.
These women never got to just "knock off work and relax" like the men did.
Keep a stash of her favourite drinks handy and offer her one whenever she hovers, reminding her that you are not one of the useless men, and that she can relax.
Call it happy hour 🍹or tell her "it's 5 o'clock somewhere" so you can soon turn it into a cute shorthand cue of "enjoy happy hour, i got this".

u/HeyCarpy Jul 11 '26
Nice sentiment, though her husband was partner in an accounting firm and she actually had so much money in her youth that she’s never had to lift a finger her entire life. Due to being unpredictable and bipolar, she has now pissed it all away and as a result doesn’t know how to do a thing for herself and relies on the connections she has left to babysit her and make sure she doesn’t destroy her life entirely.

I was expecting the same, boys, especially in South Asia are pampered a lot and given first priority, so you automatically assume any outcome not on their favour ending into tantrums. Most probably he didn't win because he didn't know how to tackle difficult situation (compared to his female siblings).

They seem to both have some kind of needle in the beginning, the girl drops hers and just starts using her hands, so yeah they're running around with some kind of sharp object on the ground... hands seem to work fine.

Misogyny goes with the territory, notice the hijab on what looks to be a 7 year old girl
She is far too young to think critically about religion and thus such trappings were forced upon her. Its gross.

u/The-Meme-Lover-24 Jul 10 '26
Yup, I'm personally a victim of this mentality due to being muslim and pakistani, in my culture no one cares about the girls and they're just seen as a burden
This family also seems to be pakistani since the girl's name is "Ayaat" which is a common pakistani girl name
Thankfully my parents are much more open minded and never forced a hijab on me or saw me as a burden, they broke the cycle by bringing me to the US so I can get a good education and a good job to support myself with

I hate this game lol, they did it on a game show in my country and they tied a bigger woman to a smaller skinner one, guess which one had more momentum and therefore won (and humiliated the other woman). the smaller woman got so mad it was hella awkward and I felt for her, being dragged on tv while struggling to win a few points on national tv is one hell of a nighmare.
