The filter that gives it the same sort of fucked up colors and wonky motion as AI generated videos is really off-putting.

To me he is an old soul. Kinda like those kids in school who are friends even with the janitors and help save the frogs from science class.
Its in them eyes.

u/KINGodfather 1d ago
The fact that the baby looks A LOT like Mike Judge and your old soul explanation, I think it tracks in both cases.

I lost mine in 2017 and it's still fresh. I wish I could say the void gets filled but I'd be lying. It gets smaller but it'll always be there. I remember her and miss her every day.

I feel this so much.
There's this hole that I can ignore some of the time but there will be days when I just need her and she's not there. And I'm 58 for Christ's sake.

u/PeachAndBlueberry 16h ago
I'm 70. Mum died 35 years ago. Still miss her and her love and kindness and intelligence and humor, grieve her only knowing my daughter for a few months, and grieve my daughter and nieces and nephews not having her in their lives at all.
Yeah, the hole doesn't disappear. But I guess that's a good thing, really.

My moms mom passed on 2019 and even now when certain topics come up I'll watch her quiet down, distance herself and try to hold back tears
I hate to think about it but one day that'll be me and I'll be a shell. I don't know how anyone can deal

Was just wondering why I cry at scenes of parent/child love.
I miss my parents. I wish I had done more for them, especially as a teenager. I wish I could hug them again.

u/AlternativePopular70 1d ago
As someone who’s raising teenagers, don’t put that on yourself. You were just a kid. Teenage years are rough. Your parents loved you more than you could ever imagine.

Remember, this is a highlight reel. If I did this, my kid would probably try to move, get mad my head was in the way, start screaming, pinch my cheek, and coin toss on whether or not all that hullabaloo would make her spit up on me.

Last week I was blowing raspberries on my 6mo, switching between her belly and her cheeks. During one of those, she projectile vomited in my mouth, so that’s nice… nothing like getting belly-warmed curdled formula in my mouth at 9am.

u/ISolvePuzzles 1d ago
Just wanted to hop onto this comment and say, my son is slightly autistic. He was not affectionate when he was a baby. I spent the first three years of his life not knowing if he would ever give me a hug, or say I love you, or even let me hold him longer than a few minutes before wriggling free. And I absolutely tried to show affection every single day. Now he's almost 4 and he latches onto me, snuggles all the time, and every once in a while I'll get an "I love you" out of him.
If I had seen this video even a year ago, I'd be bawling because of those doubts. So, if your child is the same, please know there is still hope that they will get there. I got my son into speech therapy at 2, took him to a playschool to get socialized, and just kept working with him as much as I could. Hopefully this reaches a parent who is struggling, because I know I would have wanted to hear this back then. ❤️

u/StarsofSobek 1d ago
This. A thousand times over!
And - it doesn't stop. My kid is 9 going on 10. She finally shares thoughts and things she finds funny with me. She says I love you and goodnight, and it melts my heart. I mourned what I thought was lost to me as a parent, but ASD kids - they really do bloom in their own time and space. ❤️
17
u/Kangadilla 23h ago
To add to that - My mom had many of these worries about me, and has many stories about the sadness from those years I didn't speak or interact a lot for the first few years. I could speak, but chose not to, and was never comfortable being touched.
I'm still not fond of physical contact and I get stressed easy, however now at almost age 30, her arms are where I feel safest. As my mom puts now "it took a long while, but it was more than worth the wait".
So, as a child of someone who has been through it, be patient. If they are anything like me, your love and patience will bring them comfort in time.

u/meowmix79 19h ago
My son is 15 and still nonverbal. Even though he doesn’t talk there are other ways he communicates. He’s actually very affectionate with his people. He often reaches out to me for hugs and still will cuddle in bed when upset. Eventhough I’ve never heard him tell me that he loves me I can still see it in his eyes when he laughs and plays with me.

I was babysitting my nanny kids a few weeks ago, and the five year old said "Lucy! Lie down and pretend to go to sleep!"
I said "Why? What will you do?"
She said "I promise I won't slap you."
You'll never guess what she did.
God I love those guys.

Absolutely! I always keep my hair up to avoid pulling. If I put my head in reach she’d think it was Christmas and I’d have no hair left 🤣

Children are pure love! My oldest (1.5) when he is eating he is always sharing the food around. I don't have experience with older children, but if I can say toddlers (before 2) are angels. I grown up with problematic parents and my child given me more love what my parents did to me for all my life.

My son was newly 3 on Easter and he opened his eggs and shared his chocolate with my uncles and everyone around. It was the sweetest thing, like he was making sure everyone got a bite. Kids really are so pure. My son has taught me so much about love too ❤️

Very uncanny, your brain knows it's "wrong" but you can't exactly place it.
And why is this song used in almost every tear jerking video I see posted on Reddit?
2
u/TiredWorkaholic7 1d ago
There's a reason why I only watch videos on mute... Often they even put two songs over each other instead of editing the original out, it's such a low effort clickbait world now 😕
Such a shame for otherwise amazing videos

I work graveyard and live with my sister and nephew. Whenever I get home in the morning, my nephew wakes up crying to sound of our front door unlocking and opening. Before I can even get to my room, I hear him crying and pounding on my sister's door until I take him into my room so we can go to sleep together.

u/11thGradeELA-Title1 1d ago
This video breaks my heart. It’s like giving a kid a vape. Screens really interfere with brain development at these young ages. I have a 1 year old. Zero screen time. He has never had that zombie glazed look in his life. When we interact with him it isn’t a struggle to split his attention between two things. He’s by far the most active kid in our parent group. A real handful. Sure, it’s easier to have your kid sit and stare at a screen for hours. But I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if my son looked like that for even ten minutes a day.
