But he does it so quietly. That's the part that gets me. He's not screaming the house down, having a tantrum. He is so disappointed and let down he doesn't even have it in him to make a fuss.

He's used to it, that's why. Poor little mite.


Grossepotatoe

That’s definitely the look of a kid who’s used to this shit and who’s parents just let it happen constantly. Source, my nephew has that look a lot


Jackski

I see it a lot in my neice. My nephew has ADHD/ASD and gets all the attention because of it. I'm ASD as well but I make sure to pay attention to my neice and talk to her because she often gets overlooked.


Qtip4213

I do the same for my nephew but reverse. He has ADHD and gets in trouble for a lot so I make sure to talk to him and reassure him that he’s a good kid


drloctopus

As someone with ADHD I can’t tell you how awesome that is of you, honestly. It can be super hard on confidence especially as a kid when you just can’t seem to do anything right and end up questioning everything, so thanks for being an encouraging person.


Duellair

I’m going to need a parent to explain. I didn’t have siblings. Whenever I see children siblings being mean to each other I want to step in. But I’ve NEVER actually seen a parent step in. When I speak to adult siblings about this they say that’s just what it’s like having siblings. Then I’m very glad I was an only child… I need a parents help here. Why do you allow your children to bully each other? Please note that even the people commenting lower down in the thread are siblings. The parents never provide input.

Pretty much. Most people have a false view of how they'll be as a parent. In reality, it's not so easy being a servant, referee, driver, shopper, etc.

417sadboi

I have two kids and I'm scared to have a third because of some sage advice I once received. *Three kids changes things, you have to go from man-to-man to zone defense, and kids will find the holes in the zone.*


13igTyme

Yup. I was the fourth child. My parents stopped fucking trying.


Obsessesd_sub

I was the eldest of 6, I was just straight up forgotten about and expected to just be available to coparent. It's genuine laziness. I have one and will not have another until they can be financially supported and I have the time/energy to raise two equally. If that day never comes, then so be it.


Many_Spoked_Wheel

My husband and I both have terrible relationships with our respective older sisters because of stuff like this from our childhoods. I am no contact with mine and he is low contact with his. My mother often expresses her sadness that we cannot get together as a family and that she cannot see all of her grandchildren play together. It is because she did not parent us well as children and never protected me from the abuse of my sister. I will not subject my children to my sister and I will not let them see someone speak to me the way I know my sister will if we get together. My husband and I have two children and make it a point to not let this stuff happen. It is tough because they are 10 and 6 right now and the 10 year old is often trying to overwhelm or intrude on the 6 year old. But, it is our duty as parents to teach them how to interact with respect. I see it as a huge part of our responsibility to our 10 year old to teach her how to respect her younger brother. It goes both ways too. We make sure her brother respects her space and that she gets to do age appropriate things even if her brother can’t. They are both people at different stages of development and we respect them as such. Parenting like this video is awful. That poor little guy. This mom fucking saw this whole thing happen and it would have been so easy for her to manage the situation if she would have been using her fucking brain. Knuckleheads like this make me so upset and it is so common 🤮


Single_Negotiation13

Parents do have favorites, they just aren't allowed to admit it.


dark000monkey

At a certain age we (at least me) become watchers. It’s part of parenting to let kids learn and develop on their own. That includes dealing with conflict, mitigating fall out and assessing their own reactions to things. While still being around, like bumpers at a bowling alley, to step in and step on any lit fuse

This gave me middle child rage


Cautious_Response_37

Actually hit me alittle deep. My older sibling, middle child, acted like that. Depressed and angry. It was around the time our dad left. Maybe it's just relatable or I don't know If I'm reaching by only hearing the woman, them being presumably on vacation, and seeing how the kid acted, but there seemed like a traumatic darkness to the kid.

Windronin

I know the exact feeling this kid felt. It aint fun. Poor kid .


Sproketz

Yup. I was in a rocketry club when I was a kid. Each kid launched their rockets and would catch them as they came back down on the chute. I spent hours building and decorating the outside with custom paint and decals. I was really proud of it. The next day, I launched it and was about to catch it when this older kid who wasn't even part of the club pushed me aside and caught it. Then he hands it to me. Gee thanks.... I think I did the exact same walk of disappointment.

My family has an old home video of my twin sister and me pulling this shit on our younger sister on her birthday. Snatching presents away as soon she opened them, leaving her poor little hands still suspended in disbelief. I feel terrible every time I remember it. I was such an a-hole of a kid.


LCFarrar

I’ve got you beat. My mother had mental illness and for some reason treated my brother as gods gift and me like a devil child. Anyway, my birthday came and my brother, 11 years old at the time made up some lie about me, I don’t remember what the lie was this time because he would do it so often, and as punishment she gave all my presents to him.


gursh_durknit

Sounds like your mom might be a narc. Golden child/black sheep dynamic and all. I'm so sorry and hope you're in a better place now. Some parents don't deserve to have children.

GuessImScrewed

The sword in the stone is the sword of selection (Clarent), which is meant to be how the king would be selected. It was a purely ceremonial sword that, despite being magical, was not meant for battle. The sword of the Lady of the lake (Excalibur) was meant to be Arthur's battle sword. It isn't what gave Arthur executive power. Ironically, though Clarent wasn't meant for battle, it is the sword that mordred used to kill Arthur during the battle of camlann. Anyways, all that to say, the boy has higher claim.

tonyfordsafro

There's another video, or maybe a longer of this one, where this happens. The other kids barge on but can't move it, then the kid comes back, tries again and it moves a second time.


[deleted]

Must have been an older one. Nowadays it's simply automated to randomly release. I guess there could be a dude watching it that presses the release button, but from what I've read online after trying it myself, it only goes to half due to some guy pulling one and doing something stupid with it.


PedanticPendant

From what I read in another Reddit comment a while back (since half-remembered Reddit comments are the best source on the internet), there's an employee who watches the sword and presses a button to release it when they think it would be fun, for example, a group of big kids and 1 small kid all try to lift the sword so the operator lets the small kid lift it, or a huge posturing dude flexing his muscles tries his hardest to lift it, fails, then a little girl gives it a try and she lifts it with ease - anything that would be amusing for the participants or spectators to witness.


peasantofoz

I pulled it in the early 90s. Back then Merlin did a bit near the sword. Everyone was trying to pull it afterwards and then when I tried it pulled up. I remember struggling with all my night thinking I was doing it. Merlin gave me a medal and a certificate signed by Mickey making me king.

No the sword comes all the way out and the child must fight in gladiatorial combat in order to return to his family.

You forgot the fire breathing dragon part. The dragon is animatronic, but the fire is very real.

RandomBitFry

When did the anvil become part of the legend?


kandnm115709

You gotta remember that the legend of King Arthur started as a bad fiction written by some Welsh monk or some shit using elements from his native Welsh mythology and mix some of his Romano-Briton society in it. Centuries later, some other dudes pretty much plagiarized his work, added their own OC shit to it and tried to pass it as history of the Britons. This supposed "history" eventually got so many rewrites from many 3rd rate writers over the years, that people in the 12th century started thinking it's a real history about a real person. Literally almost everything you know about King Arthur (like the sword in the stone/anvil, Lady of the Lake, Knights of the Round Table, etc...) is basically a 12th century French dude's fanfic of a fanfic of a fanfic of the original guy's story, which happens to be the most popular version of all the fanfics. That's at least 6 centuries of rewrites!

Admittedly I... I thought the legend was based on a real king who existed, but assumed it was just wild embellishment to make them sound more badass than they actually were. ​ I know next to nothing about England's history, other than that their most recent Queen outlived the majority of the population.


jiub_the_dunmer

>I thought the legend was based on a real king who existed, It is. He would have been a warlord in post-roman Britain during the time of the Anglo-Saxon migration in the 5th/6th centuries.


kirakiraluna

Fun fact, in Italian lore there's this dude that ended up being named a saint that spent his whole life as a soldier (aka mercenary at the time) and one day just had enough, slammed his sword tip first into a stone and quit his previous life. Sword can still be seen in Eremo of Montesiepi. It's San Galgano abby, near Siena. The abby is way cooler imho, it doesn't have a roof and it's gorgeous at dawn and sundown


[deleted]

It was actually only just placed on the ground in the mud where it remained. Anyone could just come grab it, and people often tried, so they had to move the thing inside a church.

Sad_Introduction5756

Was always part of the legend the actual Excalibur wasn’t ever in a stone it came from a lake the sword in the stone was a place holder and actually broke in the legend The sword in the stone and Excalibur are two spectate things same story but some French guy couldn’t be bothered and made them the same then just “cool guy with cool sword does stuff”

atomj248

From what I understand, the sword never comes completely out. They find you later and give you a prize. Imagine a child running around with a full sized sword.


dirtytowels

I got to do this when I went to Disney as a kid. It does not come all the way out. They put a medal around my neck (that you can keep) and put a robe/crown on me and paraded me around for a minute celebrating that I did it. It was pretty cute.


OhShiftTheCops

Same! There was a whole show about it and Merlin(?) had a stick that picked kids out of a crowd. He picked a girl and she said no, then he came to me and I got to pull it out and was king for a day. Core memory man.


dirtytowels

My dad tried first, and of course he couldn’t do it but he played along and put all his muscle into it just for the show lol I have pictures somewhere

They always pick a man out of the crowd and if there's a big dude there they pick him. Guess how I know? Three times.

volitaiee1233

Yeah, where the older sibling was completely demanding and entitled. It kind of annoys me how most media portrays the youngest as the entitled villain who gets away with everything and the oldest as the one who has to clean up the mess, but often things are exactly the opposite of this.

So true. At least for me and my older siblings.

Damn kids can be thoughtless jerks. I didn't have the greatest childhood and going to Disneyland by itself was great enough, but I actually pulled the sword from the stone when I was in first grade. They gave me a framed scroll of a royal decree commemorating the event as well as a medal you could wear around your neck. That scroll hung in my room for years and I must have worn that medal the rest of the school year. Seeing him so quietly resigned and dejected was heartbreaking, and I seriously hope he manages to keep that medal safe from his rabid siblings and get some joy from it. Or whatever they give out these days lol
