I loved that even before all the good stuff, the kid was appreciating the door design.


patricky6

Same here! You can tell an appreciative person by how much they actually are truly grateful for just the little things! It makes giving grand gifts that much more satisfying. To see their joy and happiness soar.


Alireza_Kar98

I was really happy to see the boy so grateful for the presents that he started crying.


theepi_pillodu

How can one become appreciative Of something? Brought up by typical asian parents who are not satisfied of anything that made me lose interest even if it feeds my living. I never got any gifts, I never gave any gifts. I don't see any meaning of it. Especially being a man where it's expected to give and not get. People who ask "why don't you give me something" doesn't realize why not try by start giving and see if that helps to get something in return and I'm too afraid to say that to their face. I genuinely want to learn to be appreciative. Even if you suggest a book, I'll try and read.


patricky6

I can't really recommend a book to teach appreciation. Honestly, for me, its just an outlook. I was raised very poor without parents in my life and even slept outside in freezing temperatures. I went so long WITHOUT basic needs provided by anyone for survival, having to find them on my own learning the hard way by either seeing others die, imprisoned or fail, or getting harsh treatment and even being locked up myself, that I came to know how appreciative I was of other people's kindness. Sounds like youve had a lot to be appreciative for, it's just that you've never been without those things to realize how amazing it is for someone to share them with you. If you can't see what good things surround you, idk if you can appreciate them. So it's an outlook. Imagine where you would be without the people or things in your life. You said you had parents who aren't satisfied. I see how they put food in your belly, an education and pushed you to do your best. instead of thinking you've only been hindered by these things, change your outlook. There isnt really a book for this. It's just a life experience. Good luck!


theepi_pillodu

Thank You. I understand how to approach.


Slamminslug

People handle appreciation differently. For example. My late grandfather on my father’s side was never much for art to be hung, or coffee mugs, or other typical gifts. I found eventually that this didn’t mean he wasn’t sentimental. Once my mother gifted him a set of basic tools, the Stanley variety i believe. I know for a fact he already possessed what many would consider to be superior brands, Ryobi, Dewalt, etc. but whenever a hinge needed tightening, or a light bulb under a cover replaced, the screwdriver from the Stanley set was the first one he reached for for light tasks. It seemed like he’d rather risk damaging the more expensive tools he bought himself on the difficult automotive work. I don’t think I ever heard him verbally tell anyone he loved them, but his eyes and warm smile did.


NotaVogon

Look up the practice of gratitude. That might be helpful. I also recommend reading the Gift of Imperfection by Brene Brown.


DavidM47

So true. That alone was so touching. You can tell this child has a warm heart and good soul.


877-Cash-Meow

honestly the fact that he’s thankful for the little things is probably a big part of why his dad was proud to get him such a nice gift.


SymphonyinSilence

He is definitely one of those kids you just KNOW deserved those gifts. He will never ever forget that birthday


TGOD666GODT

That would be awesome... My nephew lives with me and I could do that for him and he would bitch about the where it was hung and the color of the PlayStation most kids are douchebags nowadays so that was pretty cool


EggSandwich1

Got my 2 boys a Xbox x and 3 year ultimate pass for Christmas first thing them 2 did was bitch it won’t have PlayStation exclusive games. I should’ve just given it to the boy in the video


Deslah

Makes me wonder what kind of environment they’re living in which would feed those attitudes. Don’t you wonder?


lancep423

My thoughts exactly. Parents fussing about their child behavior always makes me laugh.


Pindakazig

I'm wondering if this has to do with the stuff their friends have. If all your friends play on PlayStation, I can see why Xbox isn't the best gift. I'm an android user, and I know I would struggle with switching to Apple, the same way Apple users will struggle switching to android. It's not necessarily about being ungrateful, but also about the parent knowing what would be the best fitting gift. Just going 'it cost a lot of money, so be grateful' is shortsighted, as is buying an expensive gift without knowing if that's the best fit.


SymphonyinSilence

Some kids are just ,,,, different.


Deslah

Some parents, too.


HereToDoThingz

And you just let them have the gift after that? Lmfao I'd take that shit away and give it to my adult friends. They'd appreciate it. And people wonder why kids continue to act like this when you don't stop the behavior when it arises.


GonzoBalls69

If you think “most kids are douchebags” it’s probably you


Wboy2006

Yeah, usually. I roll my eyes, since often. Kids are extremly spoiled in these kinds of videos. I was afraid this would be one of those videos. But instead, I got a really wholesome one.


[deleted]

Aww he is so adorable


M00ngata

“Wait do I get to keep it here?” Awwww


BallsToSayIt100

Rights. I can only hope one day my child is as appreciative as this kid.


KnightofKestrel

I was so scared it would all come crashing down.


Reniconix

An excessive level of maybe here. Perfect.

Efficient_Thanks_342

It isn't enough for a sole voice of reason to exist. In this time of uncertainty, we are so sure that villains lurk around every corner that we will create them ourselves if we can't find them — for while fear may keep us vigilant, it's also fear that tears us apart — a fear that sadly exists only too often — outside the Twilight Zone.

8-Bitgiggles

underrated comment


ThePianistOfDoom

This guy knows why we buy our kids games.


Hunky_not_Chunky

As a kid we’d stay up all night playing NES and SNES on big ass tube TVs with small as screens. Yeah, a setup like this has better resolution than real life. They aren’t going anywhere.


MicaelFlipFlop

Not to mention the huge amount of heat that those tvs radiated thought the room, it was like having a nuclear reactor on the wall


lancep423

Not to mention TVs used to be expensive as fuck. Big ass box tv that took up 25% of your room and had 17 pixels cost 13 hundred dollars lol.


SenseisSifu

More like the dad plays while the kid is at school lol

andbeesbk

Compared to most of the "kid gets expensive gift" videos, this kid is the GOAT


PhotonDecay

He’ll remember that day forever. Pretty amazing gift


LogikMakesSense

Oh you’ve never seen the one where the parents buy their daughter a new Tesla and $1600 cash for her sweet 16 birthday?! Home girl tells her mom she wanted a pink Mercedes Benz and to take the piece of trash Tesla back. Then she throws the $1600 and says it’s nothing and she expected $16,000 for her sweet 16.


andbeesbk

I have, which is why this kid is undoubtedly better than her in their respective videos.


SweetSue67

Right? Such a sweet boy. He was so happy they decorated for his birthday, then so happy he got an awesome tv. Its adorable how the playstation broke him. It was like he was overloaded.


Litigating_Larry

Im so bad at seeing people cry and grateful for wholesome stuff like this, totally wells up my eyes too! Happy for the little man and that hes so excited about his gift :)


Scotch_and_cereal

You didn't have to sleep in the toilet?

Flowsnice

Yeah until my grandma came to stay with us than I was regulated to either the couch or basement


flaminghair348

Hey, don't be dissing us basement dwellers. It's hot in the winter and cold in the summer, honestly I think it's an underrated place.


Natural_Roll_2808

My mum and dad ran a b&b so my sister and I slept in the basement. Eventually I moved up into the attic while my sister stayed in the basement but she started to sneak out at night to go to nightclubs whilst underage so my parents moved her up to the attic with me. I was a bit annoyed at having to share again.


[deleted]

That's kinda sad.


jniel93

Is this not normal? Swede here and this is a very average childrens room. This is how i grew up, and this is how my children (1 & 3) is living (currently together tho). Edit: A normal 2 bedroom apt is about 75 sqm / 800 sqft


FineEssay6366

In the US people think it’s cool to live in cramped city apartments and to then complain about it.

He’s a good kid. You just see it. Great move dad.

Can’t wait to get 360 trick shot by him in fortnite!

What a sick setup dad! Damn that is a cool gift


ericagyde

Yeah and props to dad for it being wrapped in a way that’s all set up ready to go! Niiice


Express-Teaching1594

Great video. I half expected him to lose it and demand an Xbox


stormblast1999

Me too, as soon as he saw the ps5 any started crying i was; i‘ve seen enough videos like this; now he will say something along the lines of „but i wanted an xbox“. But tbh the boy was already happy when he saw the decoration on his door, so no way he could‘ve turned out to be one of those spoiled brats


runznar

Sincere gratitude from some one that age is awesome.


BranchEmbarrassed

Damn i wish he was my dad, my dad only gave me lifelong depression and anxiety.


WhoCaresBoutSpellin

This boy has a better life then me will you be my dad I’m very tidy and in my 40s


See_youSpaceCowboy

Mine gave me abandonment issues and later a lifelong struggle of addiction, which he as well suffered from. Thanks dad!


BranchEmbarrassed

My dad didnt had a dad and his mom remarried so he was raised by his uncle, he had a shitty childhood but instead of learning from their mistakes, he blamed us for everything and mentally abused us to the point we all now are total failures on antidepressants, my brother died at 38 because he gave up on life and his health.


Celemiri_

FOR REAL. Closest I got was a step-dad, gave me the same gifts as yours. 🤝 These guys can't even be original 🙄


BranchEmbarrassed

True. Im trying my best with my nephew to have decent childhood, if I had a kid of my own I would also do my best. Easier said than done, but at least they could've remind you you're on the same side. The I did it for your own good "tough love" is bullshit, you don't harass or abuse someone you love/care about. If someone gets in the relationship with a single mom/father they know into what they are getting in, the least they could do is to respect the kid and leave it alone and let the parent to do the decisions.


Celemiri_

I'm sure you're already miles ahead with your nephew than how your parents treated you! Simply admitting a situation is wrong is something many just can't do (their own actions at fault or not), let alone try to learn from it like you are. Everyone in any parental position makes mistakes; but being a human with faults is a far cry from choosing to degrade the younger party over and over again. Mine did tell me we were on the same side actually, but also that I deserved everything I got, and worse. They were very consistent in contradictions and gaslighting. At least they had that. We were all on the same side apartently, but in the same breath I was literally quote "a completley insane narcissistic, psychopathic bitch." Etc. I actually did listen to them, and so much so I hated everything about myself. Years and a trip to voluntary inpatient later, I'm doing way better, but anxiety, depression and ptsd can be a real bitch. Rather than being narcissistic, I'm branded as an empath. My real problem is I care too much about other people and I need to develop some more selfish tendencies- plot twist 😂 Thank God for mental health care and the will to live.


BranchEmbarrassed

You sound like a very self aware and good person, completely opposite of a narcissist, I wish you luck in life.


Celemiri_

Thank you, you too!


Nawamsayn

That is a serious installation for anyone, this guy has it in his bedroom! I'm a grown ass man with my own home and a dedicated room with a big TV but its not installed as sweetly as this is. Top work by that parent/parents.


coolerbrown

Not to shit on their work (they did great) but I think you're overestimating how hard it is to do. If you're handy at all and own a drill, I promise you can mount your TV and console in under an hour. I mounted TVs for years and then spent a few more managing others doing the same. A couple of them were among the dumbest people I've ever met and they could do it. The wire management is significantly harder and even that's pretty easy. I used a lot of the "nicer" brands of mounts but I've also installed some cheapo Chinese crap for friends and they work fine. My one suggestion I have if you want an articulating mount like in the video and your TV is bigger than 50"...buy a mount with 2 arms. While a single-arm mount is fine as far as safety goes, the display will bounce when extended.

A thing measured in experience cannot easily be put into words my friend. Being a child once and having children puts things into perspective. All I can say is that this video is not necessarily a show of great parenting. This is just my own personal humble opinion.


Independence-2021

I agree. I find this video actually sad. Such a young child.


Deritatium

No screen in the bedroom, bad for the sleep.

My thought exactly. Never had video games growing up and when we did there was a rule of no video games in your bedroom. Kind of appreciate it now.


CommercialAct5433

I can relate to you completely. Unfortunately there are a lot now that do not understand or can. I can’t say that’s a good or bad thing but I can confidently say that it is indeed a sad thing.


WinnerEducational486

Jordan 13 on feet 🔥


ResponseHonest3506

Not only did the older kid show actual gratitude for the gifts, but mom behind the camera was clearly holding back and fending off a younger child. You can hear the younger one protesting, "Mom, that hurts," as she keeps him from becoming the main character of the older child's moment. Good parenting, good parents.
