Am I the only one

who can't stand military-parent-surprises-kids videos? I mean, surprising adults and making them cry...okay, sure. I wouldn't want it done to me, but whatev. But these poor kids who are still learning to manage emotions/reactions are put in a position to have it all on display like that. And some of these kids are young enough that they genuinely don't understand what's going on. It bugs me.

I don't see them in the same way.
Maybe stop watching those videos?

As the wife of a veteran, I'm a sucker for those (and when soldiers surprise their pets). I understand where you're coming from, thougb. I had a camera in my face every time dh would come home, and I was so elated that I completely forgot it was there. A video was played back later on, and my ugly cry face was on full display. Still didn't care, but that's just me.

I have only seen ones where kids were old enough to understand the concept. If someone tried surprising a newborn sure that would be silly but all the ones I have seen the kid was at least 3 and up.

Any video I’ve seen showed a kid, spouse, or parent who was over joyed I don’t see the negative in that.

You might be, they make me cry. Every. Single. Time.

Same here. Then again, I'm a big baby and I cry at everything!!

I don't mind them. I personally wouldn't film it and don't feel the need to film every special moment. Some people want the attention though.

Kids learning to emote from their parents? The horrors!

I think people share too damn much of their lives on social media. MAKE IT STOP!!!! I don't know these people and IDGAF about their 'touching moments'.
