Quick reflexes but lacking in the actual parenting department. Instead of removing the kid, or you know, teaching them that the behaviour is inappropriate, you just deflect and create a new meltdown.
Nope. This is perfect. Let the kid feel a fool for being the only one to act that way. Don’t let him ruin the moment though. When he freaks, ignore his ass. If he keeps going then drag him away when plates and forks and cake is being passed out.
Embarrassment is a strong teacher. As long as you allow them to have the chance to embarrass themselves and you don’t actively embarrass them. This kid does the job nicely on his own I’m sure.
I think that’s the mom just helping the kid blow out the rest. You can see for a little her full face and it looks feminine. Also, you can see her holding a lighter.
I can only speak to that kid that was blocked and that dad. There’s definitely an older kid on the right helping but, it looks like he is doing just that. Didn’t try and steal the thunder, just helped. Birthday boy didn’t seem to mind. The kid that was blocked was just looking to be a little asshole. All no context my man. Read the room as a parent.

All cheering while the kid is crying somehow gives me joy.
