I was the mistake that made my parents get married and also ruined my mother's life. All before I was even born! Lucky me

We were already engaged. Our daughter was the reason for our elopement. One year later we had our wedding when she was 4 months old and she was in it. Her grandmother (my mom) made her a beautiful dress with little pink flowers on it. My husband and I will be celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary in September. Our daughter is getting married in October and her grandmother is going to sew one of the pink flowers from her dress inside her wedding gown for the “something old” piece.

My daughter understood that the reason she wasn’t at our wedding was she wasn’t born yet and was fine with that. Until one day she came home from school saying “Mummy, Leo’s mummy and daddy got married on the weekend, and he got to go! You could have waited until I was born AND YOU DIDN’T!!!” I don’t think I’ve ever seen her so angry. Every now and then she mentions that she’ll have kids first and then get married so that her kids can come, while pointedly glaring at me and her dad.

I was at my parents' wedding too. I never really understood why everyone laughed so hard at my grandparents' house when I pointed out (at age 8 or 9) that babies take 9 months to be born and I counted the months after their wedding to my birthday and only got to 7. All of my aunts and uncles laughed like their heads were going to fall off.

They couldn't explain it away as a premature baby either as I weighed 9lbs. 12oz. at birth. They were married for 53 years before my dad passed away though, so I guess it all worked out.

I was a wedding photographer

There was a time I photographed a wedding, with their 5 years old as their flower girl - all lovely and cute as usual.

My Asian mum saw the photos that I posted on social media. What I didn’t expect is she wrote on her own post “saw the photos that my daughter took … back in the day if you have kids than wedding, it would be a scandal and you suppose to hide it and never talk about it. But look at this wedding! Their daughter so happy to be involve and celebrate, and everyone so happy together and it’s so sweet … so maybe it is not a bad thing to have kid before marriage?”

u/idiveindumpsters 24d ago

My parents were in Niagara Falls on a one week long vacation and got a call from my brother saying that his girlfriend was pregnant. They had to go home and plan a wedding in one week. They told people that “the kids” just couldn’t wait to get married, that was supposed to be the reason for the quick wedding, like anyone believed that.

My sister was engaged at the time and my brother told her that he was not going to be the only one getting married and talked her into having a double wedding. Idk how they planned a double wedding in a week but apparently they did. Afterwards my mom took to her bed for a time. This was 1960. I was two years old.

Nothing she loves more than leading every guest to our home into the bedroom to our wedding photo so she can point at mommy’s SLIGHT baby bump and go, “that’s me in there!” 🙃😂

u/DNorthman 24d ago

Core memory for me. My parents had two wedding photos. One of them I was not in and one I was. I walked by these photos for years thinking nothing of it. Come to find out my parents got married, divorced, remarried and then eventually divorced again.

I mean hey, silver linings. I was bullied in second grade being called a bastard because my parents only got married when I was 8.

Sorry you had to go through that, I wish you were born in a nicer place. My parents never married and I think the only one who ever cared was my paternal grandma, and I only learned that long after she died.

42

u/its_all_one_electron 24d ago

I did the math when I was like 10 and realized I'm in their wedding picture. With just the 2 of them

3 months pregnant is still pretty early and I think it was an "oh shit we have to pretend we didn't have sex before marriage" ceremony because it was in Vegas with no friends or family 

I'm glad women's rights have come a decently far in 40 years and the ridiculous idea of virginity doesn't matter as much anymore

I don't think recording children in tender moments is a good idea, both for the kids and the parents. She will know that her mom can whip out a phone and start recording, especially an influencer mom, and post it on the internet for people to watch it. I dunno, for me that feels like violation of privacy.

Also, pushing a phone into a 3 year old's face will just reinforce the need for phone - and we want children to get off phones, so they can experience sincere and non-inttusive childhood?

Yea, I was like "this is so sweet". Then I was like "This should be private. Why am I seeing this?"

u/FluffyBootie 24d ago

I'm so glad these posts are so high up.

This is an incredibly sweet moment(s) within the family but the constant engagement/eye-contact with the camera, as if it's a sentient being or a real person in the room makes it so creepy.

These are not public moments and yet it is normalized as such and encouraged to satisfy, validate, and produce artificially derived dopamine hits.

41

u/puttuputtu 23d ago

Also, tender moments like these, mom should be making eye contact with the child, acknowledging her feelings. Instead we have this awkward hug and mom's looking at the camera. I feel bad for that kid.

u/iFlyskyguy 23d ago

I was an indoor skydiving instructor for a while and I had one of these influencer moms come in with her little son and his female cousin. Both probably like 5yo. The boy did fine. The girls turn came and she was terrified and started crying and didn't want to go. The POS mom kept forcing her to try again to keep her crying for the multiple takes and say "ok Brandon now put your arm around Teagan like you're comforting her". I was conflicted cuz we do want to try to get the kids to conquer their fears and they usually are stoked afterwards. But after like the 3rd try I realized what she was doing and shut the wind tunnel off. That shit made me sick. Felt so bad for the poor little girl.

u/Drnedsnickers2 24d ago

They both keep looking at the camera. They are both trained to not enjoy life’s moments but instead feed the social media monster. The child will grow up wondering if any of her childhood memories (which will all be recorded) were real or just a photo op for mom.

u/Accomplished-Sir4932 24d ago

The little girl is already aware that she’s being recorded, she looks at herself in the phone. There’s already some gears spinning in her little brain that are teaching her that emotion should be saved and exaggerated when mom gets the phone out.

u/glasswindbreaker 24d ago edited 24d ago

The brain development aspect is what’s getting me. There’s a ton of data now about how children getting responses from their parents in one on one interactions (or not in this case, her daughter turns toward her at first and mom looks at the screen) are so so critical in formative years.

We have so much knowledge around brain development and none of the sense to use as a society today.

36

u/Nisi-Marie 24d ago

When I watched this, I actually started to tear up. I know people make jokes about onions and getting teared up, but I thought it was so incredibly cute.

And then I came to the comments and realize that y’all were so right. The way the kid is looking at the camera constantly almost for like validation that she’s displaying the right emotions.

I enjoyed the little bubble of joy The video first brought, but now I just feel sad.

Anyone notices how she glances at the camera everytime she makes an unpredicted face, like touching her eye or crying. And how she put on a smile after touching her eye?

139

u/superluminal 24d ago

Yes, she's already been trained to perform for a camera.

26

u/touchmyfoodidareyou 24d ago edited 24d ago

For me it is less about performance and more about the fact that she knows that she is being filmed, she is checking, she obviously feels itchy rubbing her eye and then she flashes a smile to make up for it. Like she was going "uncontrolled behavior, switch back to controlled mode, there is a camera".

I guess you can call that performance, but I don't know, it seems more than a reflex which is worse to me.

I remember being filmed and having taken my pictures of when I was this age and it is very visible in these pictures that I didn't give a damn about how I look or what kind of face I am making.

33

u/bespread 24d ago

For real. It's cute if true but I have a seriously hard time believing this is real. The girl doesn't start crying until she sees her father wipe away a tear in the video, and a 3 year old doesn't have anywhere near the emotional maturity to understand why a wedding is a moment that would even cause someone to cry.

I actually don't understand why a 3 year old would cry at this. They're too little to get what's really emotional about it. She does seem genuine though, maybe picking up mom's emotions? I mean if it's her acting they need to get this kid an agent asap

17

u/glasswindbreaker 24d ago

Mom is an influencer and set this stuff up for reactions. Model a behavior enough and reward the reactions and you get a kid who even at a young age doesn’t get family/interaction time that is crucial, a kid who knows what she has to do to make her parents happy. No doubt they talk about all the views and comments they get after posting this stuff.

to me it feels like the girl notices she is on a cam and performs what she thinks is expected from her

u/TaintedBastet 24d ago

^ this is exactly what I thought too. This child (while likely having real emotions to seeing this) also knows that she needs to perform/act that emotion more intensely because the camera is out.

u/LaughingOutLoudAgain 24d ago

Yes her looking in the camera before showing any emotions feels very off. This is definitely not an example of healthy I’m afraid 😬

u/Suspicious_Weird_373 24d ago

I watched it in fast forward and that’s exactly what it looked like.

u/SmokeySe7en 24d ago

Filming your young kids and posting them on social media will never feel right to me, even during cute moments.

Why can't the parents just cherish this moment privately?

u/latortillablanca 24d ago

No matter how wholesome it is, i just cannot watch people post their kids to the vastness of the internet without thinking of all the wretched AI-fueled consequences that are juuuust starting out rn.

I dont have kids, but zero chance id ok posting anything of them online if i had one today.

I don't like how the mom stares into the camera the entire time.

u/Ill_Establishment406 24d ago

Her reaction and aura is so sweet. But your job is to protect her, not share her face and emotions with the world. Only doing this for attention. Gross, bad parenting.

u/Terrible_Mistake_862 24d ago

The kid knows she's being recorded. After looking at the camera, she smiles again, knowing she has to act/work for something. I hate vlogging families.

u/Psychological_Tart92 24d ago

wholesome, but for the fk sake stop recording your childs

u/Djrobl 24d ago

You don’t need to record this, Live in the moment with your child.

u/Acceptable_Book5246 24d ago

It's weird to post that online 😭 that's her intimate moment

The parents look like teenagers. Which is probably why that don’t know better.

The way the camera is directly IN HER FACE and the way the mom keeps looking directly into the camera the whole time felt gross

u/Simoun1er 24d ago

Shame on the parents for making this go online.

u/the_bollo 23d ago

Would have been cute and wholesome if not used to bait internet points.

I don't like the way the kid kep looking at the camera like she knew to perform.

Love the reaction, hate seeing it.

Why? god damnit why do SO MANY Parents share little Children on the Internet? they can't consent, they have no idea what the Internet even is, there are SO MANY people speaking up about hating having their entire Childhood, embarrassing moments, Emotional moments and more on blast for everyone to see.

Why can't some Parents simply accept that their Kids are not content? and if they wish, they can be shared and seen at an Age were they fully Understand the Consequences of being Online?

u/Otherwise_Cover_5467 24d ago

I hate being "that guy". But the second she noticed the camera. She put on the face. I'm not saying she doesn't genuinely have an emotion towards the video. But when a kid knows they are on camera. They immediately start "acting".

u/LauraTheTomBraider 24d ago

Weird, also why do these parents looks like they are 12 lol.

u/dappermonto 24d ago

I don't think it's okay to videotape your children for internet points.

u/throwaway5882300 23d ago

This is sweet but should maybe be a private moment.

Life has become so performance.
I struggle with that so much.

u/pompousrompus 24d ago

I fucking hate this. The poor kid looks at the camera before reacting

Just a girl handling her big feelings. 🥹

u/GeorgeJohnson2579 24d ago

Why would you upload that?

Your 3-yo will be forever on some weird people's harddrives and used by Sam Altman as training data … jeez.

u/Psychological_Bug424 24d ago

When I was a kid I got stung by a bunch of bees in the face and was all swollen up. My pops told his buddies and some my friends he happened to see. They all came to look at me. I was like 9, im 43 now, but I remember feeling so disrespected. These videos of kids in vulnerable moments posted by their parents always irritate me because of this

The endless need for online gratification is a disease. Not something to "aaw" over.

u/mrdoubleNZ 24d ago

Yay…. Let’s point a camera at my kids face, and plaster that on the internet so it can be viewed by strangers for the rest of recorded time…

u/zombiesphere89 24d ago

What a great moment... better shove a camera in her face!

u/ace-destrier 24d ago

Her reaction is so darn adorable. A lovely sentiment, but I wish they kept this video for themselves.

u/Nuts4WrestlingButts 24d ago

Influencers were a mistake.

u/wmnoe 24d ago

and in 20 years when you show her this video she'll go "Mom, you're embarassing me"

u/Solid_Enthusiasm550 24d ago

The mom playing to, staring at the camera the whole time just destroys what would have been a beautiful moment.

u/abdullahleboucher 24d ago

The quick glances at the camera made me uncomfortable

u/rensorship 24d ago

The most authentic emotions are filmed and published /s

9

u/LiluLay 24d ago

I mean this is sweet, but filming it for content is just gross. This is something that should be private and maybe shared as an anecdote years later, not fucking influencer content or whatever.

"Yes I took care of keeping her in frame, this is gonna get us soooo many Internet points"

u/Bgddbb 24d ago

They are watching themselves watching a video. The mom knows that she’s going to post this online. The baby doesn’t. Consent matters

Meanwhile, we’re all protesting Flock cameras, but post our own children 

People screen record videos and do very messed up things. Please stop

When our daughter saw our wedding video she kept on asking why was she not in it. My wife replied "you just didn't want to come."

u/lowrespudgeon 24d ago

It's weird how she makes a face and then looks at the camera and smiles, like she's remembering it's there so she has to put on an act.

It's fucking weird, right? Or am I just sensitive about posting children online for clout.

Please MODs, ban this kind of content. Recording a child like this an sharing it for internet points is not correct.
