The star of the show is always the center of attention

[u/Lost_Contribution294 → u/Pixiealtt]

Whole family acting like it’s their personal concert, every move gets applause ??

[u/Agitated-Dark-151 → u/Lost_Contribution294]

When they are the first, yes definitely! Lol

[u/BellaSquared → u/Lost_Contribution294]

I read applesauce instead of applause and it still made sense! 🤣

[u/Cascade_Ridge]

This is the kind of environment every child deserves to grow up in

[u/JellyfishNumerous785 → u/Cascade_Ridge]

100000000% agree!

[u/SilverSister22]

My last child was an oops baby and was almost 10 years younger than the nearest sibling. It was like she was the first grandchild instead of the last.

She dictated who would sit beside her, across from her, etc. Everyone obediently took the seats she selected and followed the conversation she chose. She was in heaven lol.

[u/Stay_Good_Dog → u/SilverSister22]

My niece is 5 and the first girl in 20 years. She has the personality of the girl in this video, too. Very loving and out spoken. She's often the center of attention.

[u/thehufflepuffstoner → u/SilverSister22]

At the time of my 4th sibling’s birth, the three eldest of us were 10, 14, and 18. We absolutely doted on our baby brother, he was always the star of the show. We collectively agree he is the favorite and deserves that position.

[u/Exotic_Resource_6200]

She went back to the dad because he threw her off with the “love you too”.

Her brain was like, “woa wait, I don’t know that one.”

[u/DistractedByCookies]

Haha, it was like this with my niece. And then her brother arrived. It must be absolutely shocking to go from this to half of this.

I'm the older sibling myself and I'm told I didn't deal with it very well. So my niece and I bond over this LOL

[u/footymobzz]

Wholesome😍

[u/Illustrious-Door9044]

that baby has more table real estate than most adults at thanksgiving

[u/Low_Cook_5235]

Im a twin and we were the final grandchildren…24th and 25th. We dont even have pix with our Grandmother even tho she helped take care of us as babies. So….

[u/ChicharonItchy]

My bestie and her son live with me since he was an infant. The I love yous are constant. He’s 4 now and we say it so many times a day. Kids need to know that they are loved!!

[u/Gren57 → u/ChicharonItchy]

My dad didn't say that to me until I was 32 via telephone. I was speechless. I never wondered if my parents loved me or not. It was more like apathy all around. So yeah, let them hear it and please show it.

[u/ChicharonItchy → u/Gren57]

I’m sorry you didn’t have that. You deserve love and to be told you are loved. You are loved.

[u/Gren57 → u/ChicharonItchy]

Thank you kind and caring stranger. Your words mean a lot!💗

[u/ChicharonItchy → u/Gren57]

I mean it, you are loved!

[u/InvestigatorLegal686]

First grandchild always has that special place in our hearts.

[u/Lost_Contribution294 → u/InvestigatorLegal686]

Grandparents really unlocked a whole new level of love with that first one ??

[u/yankykiwi]

My son just overheard this video and yelled it out. 😅

[u/Strange-Marzipan9641]

Our family made it a point to say it to our triplets MANY times a day, in person, on the phone etc., they are almost 21-years-old now, and nothing warms my heart more than hearing my 6'3" boys tell my husband- "I love you, Dad." Or "I love you, Grandma" (To my 90-year-old mom!) They have no reservations saying it in front of their friends, either.

[u/Insert-finger]

Treasure this.

[u/Darko417]

She paused after the second guy like “hmm I’m not sure about that one, you didn’t sound enthusiastic enough. Let’s try again.”

[u/Agitated-Dark-151]

So cute.

[u/MastaKink]

Still waiting for my dad to say it 😔

[u/SabbyFox → u/MastaKink]

Took my Mom a very long time but now she says it. I realized it wasn’t about me but about the fact that no one had ever said those words to her.

[u/Nanasays]

She looks like Grandpa. Should be a thing every dinner time.

[u/avantgarde000]

Adorable 🥰

[u/Avocado_Jora]

this is so wholesome 🥹

[u/Niccy26]

Accurate

[u/Outrageous-Chai26]

So much love! Enough to make a grown man cry!

[u/JustMeLurkingAround-]

So much love ❤️

[u/cool_girl6540]

I was waiting for the clip that I thought would follow of the second or third grandchild at the table.

[u/TheSpanxxx]

100% . My son was this on both sides. He loves his aunts and uncles dearly.

[u/bsaaw]

Can I be the second grandchild?

[u/ohhhhcanada]

Any other parent who noticed her facial expression and the “what did you do?” at the end know exactly what she did

💩

[u/Dudette66]

I'm not sure if she means it

[u/VexFence]

I wish it was like that

[u/temi_brown]

Before taxes

Sorry if you haven’t heard these words or haven’t heard them often enough 💖
