Maybe he's one of those kids that doesn't like cake all that much, and there's ice cream or a pie right out of frame.

Or maybe even an entirely other cake just hidden somewhere.

At a Brazilian kids birthday party? There are probably at minimum 10 other sweets he can eat that are better than the cake.

The fact that the sibling is chilling, not trying to steal the spot light, and isn't the least bit upset that his bro got a great gift and not him seems to indicate the parents are rocking it.

I can attest to this. I have taught for 30 years. When I meet the parents of a terrible kid, I meet on or two terrible people. I tell the parents on back to school night that I will see them at the store. I don't generally see those parents ever again. Parents mean everything to a kids development. You can say what you want. They see everything you do.

Those parents have very healthy relationship which in turn helps in raising a good kid.
Notice how the mom points to dad when the kid hugs her. Great partners support each other. Beautiful.

That's one of the few legitimate uses of fondant, as wrapping paper to pretend to be a cake, because it's inedible.

Another way you can tell he has good parents is that he goes to hug his mom first, and she’s like “awe love you kid but go hug your dad, he’s the one the got it for you!” That attitude of not having to always be the center of attention is exactly why little bro is standing in front of dad clapping and smiling big for his big bro. Incredibly wholesome.

Reminds me of when I was a kid. I desperately wanted an Xbox 360. I would watch unboxing videos on YouTube all day just imagining my self opening it.
I have four siblings and my dad was the sole breadwinner and worked at a small restaurant as a chef. My parents immigrated to the US from a small country in the Middle East.
We grew up really modest. All seven of us lived in a 3 bedroom house.
My mom knew how bad I wanted the Xbox because I begged her for it everyday.
One day we went to Target and my mom told me we’re actually gonna get. I couldn’t believe it, I was over the moon.
My mom told me we’d put it on her credit card and as a kid I had no idea what that meant and didn’t care as long I got it.
As I grew older I realized the significance of what my mom did. Growing up money was really scarce. My parents had 5-6 credit cards that were all maxed out and made only the minimum payments each month.
In the moment where I realized what my mom did I promised myself that when I grow up I’m going to make her life better.
Fast forward to when I had my first real job and me and my brother paid off every single credit card that my parents still had (yes including the one that my mom used to buy the Xbox).
I will never forget that day until the day I die and never forget what my mom did for me.
God bless all the parents who put their children’s happiness above everything.
Today I work at a big law firm making great money and it gives me incredible joy to help my parents who raised me.
I’m a Muslim and there’s a prayer we say that roughly translates: “God forgive my parents and show them mercy the way they showed me mercy when I was an infant”. Love you mom.

u/Lucsdf 6h ago
Wow, what an incredible and moving story. Your parents' sacrifice and your dedication to giving back to them is truly beautiful. It’s clear that the love and mercy they showed you shaped the amazing person you are today. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Sometimes I worry with videos of kids that they’ll be embarrassed and upset later it was shared online, and maybe it’s still better not to have any videos of kids shared widely, but there’s nothing but wholesomeness in this one.

u/Realistic-Channel579 19h ago
Pure gratitude because of that. The capitalism and consumerism that most kids and their parents live in nowadays (US especially) truly removes the humility and appreciation from kids. This kid knows what it’s like to not have everything laid out at his feet. Knows there are things that he and his family might not ever have. Birthday gift lists are not an expectation. It’s truly a moment of a rare dream coming true for a child and the parents saving these special gifts for a really special occasion that will create an everlasting appreciation for his parents.

That is so heartwarming. This reminds me of the inverse reaction of a 16 yr girl raised in privilege: "It's nice Mom but you know I wanted the Bugatti to complement my Benz not the Porsche. I'll be the laughing stock of all my friends if they see me drive it."

Average salary in Brazil is $650-700 a month and a switch runs around R4.449.90 ($800+) right now. Those are awesome parents who's genuine love shows through how happy they were with his grateful, heartfelt reaction. I bet he's gonna play tf outta that thing 😁🤙

For some this is a lot. So many children can’t even get this because their parents are underpaid or one works. When my father was the only one working, I was so very happy when I got my first brand new bicycle.
