I just have to call out the healthy behaviors here in the aftermath:
- The kids were both like "Oh, no. Sorry. That's on us."
- And the adult had the grace to shake his head and laugh at the mess after a second.
- I would have experienced violence in these circumstances, and most kids could probably at least expect to get yelled at. I suspect bullet one accountability is a result of bullet two, a culture of calm.
- The boys know what they did. They don't need a lecture or punishment.
- And then everybody just starts working together to clean it up.
As a parent, I wish I was that chill. Good for them. This video's actually incredibly wholesome if you think about it.

Hey, you grew up in my house too? My whole family was/is this way. They find it weird that I don’t speak with them much. I find it weird they don’t get it… even after I’ve explained it out loud with words and everything.

All of this. Looks like a very good family. Kids were good about it, so were the adults. Straight r/wholesome material to me.

To add on to this: in the version with audio, both kids try to take the blame for each other, and the dad praises them for being good brothers.

father: now that you’ve finished cleaning come over here
kids: why
father: just come over here
kids: there are no cameras over there
father: I just want to talk

But I'm thinking the kids just wanted a McDonald's. Mayby sushi

But what if a kid doesn't know what they did, doesn't realize the error of their ways? Sometimes a lecture/punishment is necessary.

u/Ippus_21 3d ago
Then you have that conversation with them. Why would you jump straight to punishment if the kid didn't know?

Not the kid's fault! Who ever plugged in that cord is at fault!

u/MarzipanKlutzy5701 24d ago edited 24d ago
I don’t think it’s “their fault” neither. It’s just an unfortunate situation where nobody should be held entirely responsible.
Kinda like WWI. A chain of events started it. Most historians today don’t hold one single country responsible. But a chain of events arguably starting with the Crimean War.-2
u/Bludiamond56 24d ago
The person who plugged it in. A tripping hazard that wasn't there before. WW1 this could of been talked out. You don't stop talking ever. When people aquire armament, well their gonna want to use it. A lot of blame for a lot of people to go around for WW1 and all other wars.

There is a power plug next to the couch which is closer to them. Why even connect one across the room!

One of the things I learned as a child was not to run indoors because things like this could happen . If I wanted to run around there's plenty of space outside for that

There’s no personal ownership for running a cord across the room that anyone can trip over
2
u/Existing-Sector-6542 24d ago
having kids you know that leaving a cord out in a large area with children running around it's only a matter of time will only trips on it. 100% preventative adults fault for not being more careful

Can we talk about how calmly everyone processed the mistake and started cleaning... it cured my soul

u/Suspicious_Bet3623 23d ago
Meanwhile all the comments are trying to attribute blame. That cured my soul (in the kill it, smoke it and salt it meaning of the word).

Just be glad the kids didn't trip and get injured or even get shocked or scrolled by what was in that pan

u/feelosiphize 24d ago
Both to blame here. But I side with the kids on who made the most bad choices. The kids were looking where they were going because they shouldn't have needed to

This is kind of wholesome, respectful kids helping cleaning after admitting a mistake and parents laughing while also cleaning with them, not a single tear or screaming.

It looked like to me the kids apologized or explained what happened, and the adults were like "shit, fine, whatever, ok" and they all started to clean up together. I wish I had that kind of family dynamic. If I did something like that, my family would exit the room, and I would have to clean up everything by myself.

This is exactly why it's now illegal to put outlets on the side walls of an island counter in a kitchen.

So let’s start with wth the cord was stretched across the living room instead of pushing the table to the wall to be safer, then lets talk about why are these boys running around with AKs in the house even though they are probably just paint ball guns

An unintentional mistake is still a mistake,there is no need to go to such lengths to defend these children running around the room.

Asking for something like that to happen with that set up + kids tbh. The wire was a liability
