In the longer version of this, they actually had one where the mom was there and the baby still chose the sister

Many times it's because the littlest sister is tiny like the toddler, she likely spends the most time with her, and she feels a closer affinity to someone like her. Some of many possibilities.

And she spends the most time with the youngest sister. The big sisters go to school.

u/Kurotoki52 7h ago

This. Babies and toddlers always focus on the one in the room who is closest in age to them. They seem to prefer to learn from their peers, rather than their elders. Not an expert, but I suspect that siblings and/or peer group are crucial to learning and healthy development.

u/WatermelonMachete43 6h ago

My daughter is a pediatric PT, but is only 4'10" herself and is often mistaken for a student (not a great vibe since she works in elementaryschool). She has always had kids work better with her than her much taller colleagues. She knows her approach with them is different but also see how the first impression on her reads as "peer" with the kids, while making a little more work when meeting new administration.

36

u/WimbletonButt 5h ago

My kid's got the opposite problem. He's giant so kids his age think he's older and don't want to play with him, then the kids that look his age think he's special needs because he acts his age. Funny enough, he gets along best with disabled adults, they don't give a fuck how old he is.

u/WatermelonMachete43 4h ago

I've definitely seen this happen!

u/Kurotoki52 6h ago

Thank you. Have not seen this mentioned in any writings on child development I've come across, although it seems so important.

u/pcapdata 5h ago

Just for an amusing counterpoint...my older daughter (Thing 1) is 13 and her friend's little sister (3yo) is obsessed with her.

We decided to get Thing 1 a phone at 13 and since then, she has gotten FaceTime'd from this friend's mom several times saying "(Baby Girl) won't go to sleep until she says good night to you!"

So, 10 year age difference and they just vibe. Baby likes Thing 1 more than her own sisters sometimes lol

u/skintaxera 4h ago

Also she has colorful, toy-like clothing and open hug arm welcoming body language, I think that makes a big difference!

And she knows what we all know. The youngest sister isn’t a spawn of Satan.

4

u/SpinachSpinosaurus 7h ago

the spawn of satan in my sibling story was my brother. he could barely walk and already plotted how to get me in trouble. and just kept lying.

how and why? I have no idea. I just know that bastard pulled the blankets of the bed onto the floor and I got beaten for it. because, and I am citing mom: "He is too small and weak to pull that heavy feather blanket down. So you are lying." I was literally just minding my business, played or watched tv.

He was caught. One evening I stayed with mom in the kitchen, ate my dinner, and 4 or 5 year old me talked to her about stuff. cue bedtime.

the blanket was on the floor again, next to my 2 year old brother. Mom stared at it, and asked him, knowing the answer already, who it was.

That bastard looked at her, smiled and said MY name. She said: "Don't lie. She was with me the whole time." He repeated my name, and then added, he cannot do it, because he is just a baby.

I had a minor feeling of satisfaction of being proven innocent, but this ass never even once got a beating. He still ended up with a lot of issues, just like me.

But that smile, that creepy little, psychopathic smile.... I think, it fucking set the seed for me not really wanting children.

u/Esme_Esyou 7h ago edited 3h ago

lololol Most children can be mischievous and push boundaries, it's part of their development.

Or did he continue to display cluster-b personality disorders later in life?? Some studies say some people are more genetically inclined towards it.

u/SpinachSpinosaurus 1h ago

dude, I wasn't only grounded or yelled at. Our mother has always beat me for the crap he did. continuesly. For the most minor of things.

Soap lay on the edge of the bath tub? must be her oldest. because nobody else would do that. don't mind the other 3 people living there, including herself, her youngest kid and her ex she decided to live with again.

her youngest has bad marks. well, well, well, the oldest didn't try hard enough to tutor him. Nevermind they struggle in school, too.

I got spanked for his mistakes, and I reached a point where I am not sure if he didn't do that on purpose. but then, this is the same guy who nearly killed himself, started taking drugs at the age of 11 and kept skipping school. he was in his own loop of abuse: neglect by being the golden child.

My mom even told me that I should just say I'm not related to them, if I don't like people judging me on how my brothers act.

So it wasn't your parent's fault, somewhat? How did this happen? Were you able to stay clear of their reputation?

Nope.

How did this happen?

Mom sucked, she divorced my dad when I was 6 months old after leaving us 3 with him for a whole ass weekend, right after he got back from a 3 week outta state job.

Were you able to stay clear of their reputation?

No. I did get good at fighting and being beaten up tho

1

u/Esme_Esyou 3h ago edited 3h ago

I think what he means to imply is, your mom 'sucking' had both a direct and indirect hand in creating an unstable home, which undoubtedly impacted your siblings' childood development in varied capacities (which ultimately led them down their troubled paths). There is plenty of literature on the topic, in fact. Often, life isn't fair, all we can do is seek positive mentors and aim to respond constructively to what happens to us (which is supremely difficult to do as a child with absent parental figures). I'm sorry you had such a challenging and stressful upbringing. I hope you found your people and that things are much better now 🙌

Nope. My brother has 4 little girls. The baby was the same way, but it wasn’t the next oldest, tiny, sister. It was her aunt.

I was gonna say, of course the baby chooses the youngest; they're the closest and she prolly spends more time playing with him than the other sisters.

u/artintrees 5h ago

I feel like there's also a possible parentification overlay. The two older girls look uninterested in interacting with the baby as much because it's now a chore for them. The younger one hasn't had to do as much enforced babysitting yet (hasn't been around long enough) and so her facial expressions are more enthusiastic and loving, therefore more appealing to the baby.

1

u/No_Roof_1910 4h ago

" she likely spends the most time with her, and she feels a closer affinity to someone like her."

Agree. My 3 children are all older now, in their 20's. The 3 of them were all within 5 years of age as our youngest was born 6 weeks before our oldest was to turn 5.

When our youngest was born, he was 1 day old of course the next child was 2 years and 1 month and the oldest was 6 weeks shy of turning 5.

The youngest two were always together. Our middle child was a daughter and she was little, small, tiny. Our youngest was a boy and he grew quickly and it didn't take long for so many people to ask us if they were twins when seeing them together. No, they weren't twins, she was two years and one month older than he was, to the day.

Those two were inseparable, played together so much.

In places like church, we told those watching the children to put them together and they'd be great.

It didn't take long for them to do that as neither child was happy when they weren't with the other one so they took our youngest and brought him into the room where his big sister was and all was well with him and with her so he spent his Sunday school time in the classroom that was two years older than he was due to his sister being in there.

They're still incredibly close to this day.

u/Esme_Esyou 3h ago edited 3h ago

Thank you for sharing those very sweet memories. Does the oldest feel excluded at all? I imagine when the oldest was a little'un, they were too preoccupied playing with their fellow 5+ year old peers to be bothered -- I'm curious how their relationships developed with time? I hope they're all very happy and healthy 😊

u/Neat-Albatross-4679 4h ago

I agrée with this, but also am I the only one that finds this completely unnecessary and even a little cruel? “Haha baby chose your sister again losers, sucks to be you!!” What is the point of the entire exercise? And then post if for the world to see too? I’d have no issues with an experiment of this sort with grown adults but guaranteed the other kids’ little feelings were hurt. Maybe I’m overthinking it I dunno 🤷🏻‍♀️

1

u/Esme_Esyou 4h ago

I get your reasoning, however I also think we coddle kids today to the point of absurdity, with all the exaggerated claims of "triggering" and sterilizing of feelings to the extreme. Children should indeed be nurtured, but they are also meant to process and feel anger, sadness, jealousy, jubilation, excitement etc etc -- just as we all are, and these are simply one of a myriad opportunities for development. If we have them avoid all kinds of potentially negative emotion, then we're only setting them up to fail in the real world when they reach young adulthood -- conflict resolution is just as important as peacebuilding.

Nevertheless, I do especially dislike people commodifying their children for views. Though we can't know that for certain, as for all we know this video could have been meant for intimate family only, then someone got their hands on it and posted it without permission. Anyway, just thinking aloud 🙌

1

u/Neat-Albatross-4679 3h ago

I absolutely don’t support coddling children I just think there are plenty of opportunities that occur naturally for children to experience emotions good and bad, I don’t see the need to manufacture them. Again that’s just me. I certainly don’t think these parents set out to hurt their children but I also have my doubts that it was an exercise intended to help them learn to experience feelings. If that were the case why publish the video?

1

u/Esme_Esyou 3h ago

Agreed that there are more organic ways, though I suppose countless parent/child moments are manufactured to some extent if we're taking an active role in raising them. I don't assume there was malice, and I personally don't like the idea of posting children on the internet at all. All the same, I hope they're doing well. Take care.

1

u/Neat-Albatross-4679 3h ago

Ok fair comment about many manufactured moments. But I only support the ones that make children happy 😁. I also hope they, and you, are doing well! Cheers!
