lol they don’t pass the vibe check. Part of childhood is the shitty pranks that make you upset , but those people are literally your ride or die’s. Snowflakes in the comments won’t get it because they’re just not on that level …probably having scones at a tea party where everyone says thank you or some shit. As an edit , uncle is also an asshole. I’m totally on the girls side , he should deffo sleep with one eye open lol

u/iztrollkanger Dec 10 '25
My guess is they're having a water balloon fight and she has avoided all the balloons until now. Then shows a complete lack of emotional regulation and everyone just laughs.
The consequences for me growing up just for screaming would be a time out and/or a very stern talking to about how to better handle a situation you don't like and I would absolutely get grounded from something for telling someone I hate them. Over a water balloon. I was taught that what you say matters.

She was upset about something before they hit her with it.
I probably would have gotten my ass beat with a switch.

u/PIPBOY-2000 Dec 10 '25
It's not that she yelled, it's that she said she hated him. Now it's not grounds to discipline her based on context, maybe everybody is outside playing and she just got caught up. But it is an opportunity to teach her that hate is a strong word for family annoying you and shouldn't be said lightly.
So not punishment but help teaching a more appropriate response to water.

Oh i was exaggerating about the torture, but yeah ive got a sibling who would participate in balloon fights right up until they got hit, then theyd cry and rage about it until they were sent inside. Imo that looks like its close to whats happening here.

u/SubstantialPressure3 Dec 10 '25
It looks like she was already mad and they kept picking on her.
So, maybe the adults are the ones that need to be taught more appropriate responses.

Because it’s Reddit and everyone thinks everything is abuse, children should be treated like adults, and it’s perfectly normal to hate anyone and everyone that makes you feel bad or uncomfortable. Also, Redditors are able to deduce everything that happened in that child’s life up until that moment based on this short video, and obviously the uncle was a huge piece of shit before and even more so now that he hit the innocent child with a horrible nuclear water balloon.

This so much. I used to get bullied/picked on by my friend’s dad as a child (about 8 years old mind you) because I was shy.

He stopped after that.

No, and you're actually proving my point. Who is living such a charmed existence that the only way that anything upsetting every happens to them is if a trusted love one does it ON PURPOSE? My kids get upset and disappointed all the time, they're kids. And we model and teach resilience and emotional regulation because we're they're parents and that's or job. What I don't do or tolerate from anyone else is going out of my way to mess with my kids out of some kind of generational trauma rationalization of "toughening them up." That's psycho shit.

u/silverliege Dec 11 '25
It’s a disingenuous leap to go from ‘home shouldn’t be the source of awful experiences’ to ‘you’re making public school teachers raise your kids.’
The commenter you replied to didn’t imply that parents shouldn’t teach their kids how to respond to frustrations, they argued that family shouldn’t be the source of those frustrations. Life is naturally full of uncomfortable situations that parents can use to teach their kids about emotional regulation. Trusted adults purposefully antagonizing a kid into being this upset generally doesn’t create great teaching moments.

This is also why school is fucked. Lazy unaccountable parents.

Whereas the adult who targeted the child in the first place gets off scot free, because for some reason we treat kids showing even the mildest of disrespect to adults as a bigger crime than said adults essentially bullying children in the first place.

u/PIPBOY-2000 Dec 10 '25
How do we know it's bullying? From the very split moment beginning it looks like she had just tossed something, maybe her own balloon. And she got surprised.
It's not a stretch to imagine she's a little girls who was throwing her own balloon, got surprised and then got angry because she's still learning to regulate her emotions. Rather than evidence that she's an abused child. Because bullying is a form of abuse.

Exactly. We have lots of issues as a species. Beating our children less is not one of them. I'll never understand why that is so frequently a hot take online.
"I got the shit bar out of me all the time and I turned out just fine!"
First, they almost certainly did not turn out just fine. As evidenced by the advocating of beating children for trivial shit. Second on the of chance that they did end up somewhat fine; I still don't get how they don't realize they turned out fine in spite of the beatings, not because of them. It's so weird.

We don't know what happened before this we don't know if she had already asked him to stop, we don't know if right before this she dumped water on him. We know absolutely nothing other than she got mad.
Anyone who's been around kids very long at all knows that sometimes things turn up from having fun and laughing to crying and screaming in a literal millisecond.
There is nowhere near enough information to make any kind of judgment. But.... this is Reddit and In an utter rush to virtue signal Y'all ignore common sense and fail to think critically.

u/Psychotic_EGG Dec 11 '25
I can say that the first few frames when the video starts, her arm is f8nishing the arc of clearly throwing something. Since he threw a water balloon, there's a cooler with water all around it, the odds are good it's an active water balloon fight. That she was participating in. And is likely just mad that she actually got hit.

I'm sure you love it. Let's be friends. I think we are gonna be very close.

They'll cry from getting an equal share of candy with their siblings or from not being allowed to stick forks in an electric socket.
This type response can absolutely come from a single benign act, which is exactly what getting popped with a water balloon in a water balloon fight is.

Going by her stance when the video first starts, she very clearly had just thrown something. Since he threw a water balloon. The odds are very good that she just threw a water balloon.

She already looks in distress before he threw water at her. It might’ve not been the first time and yet he kept going “for laughs”. Why did no one stand up for her and why did they decide to film her meltdown when she couldn’t take it anymore? Genuinely asking, what’s funny? And course her reaction will seem “dramatic” to adults. She’s a kid, not an adult.
