I think the funniest thing about Shayne having no sibling rivalry with his older siblings because they’re so much older is that I’m over here as a 19 year old beefing with my 5 year old sister 😭
@@jacforswear18my sister and I are 6 years. She was the one that ASKED for the tournament that I put her through ie WWE moves 😂, pushing her on the ground. It was weird but I did enjoy the tournament sometimes
And cats can knock shit onto the floor. And reptiles can't be held half of the time. And turtles are notoriously assholes. And rabbits shit everywhere. And ferrets smell like moldy bread. And birds are some of the loudest fucking things on the planet. Every pet has a downside to keeping it. Doesn't mean that people still don't do it. It was an asshole move for the sister to expect OP to love her kids as much as she does. Parents who force their family into parenting their own children are dickheads. I never understood why I had to unconditionally love a child who wasn't mine to begin with. It's a bad expectation.
@@Nilruin ok but you also don't have to dehumanize the kid. Like that's a genuinely concerning tendency in my opinion. If you don't wanna be around kids, fine, but why the fuck you gotta call them "it" and insult them?
Also, that child will be an adult human at one point and want nothing to do with her aunt, she’s basically saying “I don’t want to bond and create a relationship with them AT ALL”
Shayne being wildly shook when Courtney said her boobs spontaneously deflated at misogyny story and Noah saying “mmhmm” as if it was the most normal and common thing in the world is peak humor 😂
As someone who strongly dislikes kids, I still respect them. There's no reason to dehumanize/mistreat/show your dismay to them. They are living people with thoughts and feelings
I don't like kids either, or animals. But I have the decency to not go out my way to treat them like they don't exist. That sister is insane. They grow up so leaving a good impression on child is important when they become adult.
I don’t like kids either but I love to take care of my niece and nephew and they are my bestfriend’s children.It’s different when they are someone close. Also,even if they are someone else’s I don’t know,I’ll be on my best behaviour around a child and a child will be treated the nicest they can be in my presence. Even if you don’t like children, you are responsible towards them as an adult in the society to some extent.
Same, I understand that the things I don't like are things they will age out of, things I myself did as a kid that I aged out of. Even as someone who is on the spectrum I do my best to be friendly, patient and approachable to my little nephews because I want to have a relationship with them when they inevitably out grow the behaviors I struggle with. They're little people who are guilty of nothing but growing, I'M the one with the issue, I'M the adult, it's my responsibility to be understanding and patient.
I have an active repulsion to kids, I tried to get over it multiple times but I can't. Until they're about 5-6, I really really don't like them. But I still bought my youngest cousins books for their birthday this year, and intend to continue to do so every year. I'm not gonna babysit or participate in their care, but it's not the kids fault they exist. And I want to have a relationship with them once they're at an age that doesn't distress me.
@@annahoward3627 I mean, Shayne did watch Noah grow up in front of his eyes... then at eye level... then well above eye level... For real though, those two have been siblings since the very beginning of their time at Smosh.
“The fact that you never order Ubers doesn’t make you a bad person. The way you cuff your jeans does.” -Noah to Shayne in a video like a million years ago
My sibling is pretty close to this, made sure I knew they didn't care about me as a kid😅 They are nicer now, but I gotta learn to put more distance between us to have more equal relationship. I spent Christmas with them, rather than my folks, but since they dislike Christmas I couldn't listen to my jingles last few years. If I get my shit together enough to have family, they def aren't coming over to ruin Christmas magic for my kids.
Nursing assistant here. Shayne is absolutely correct about us having dark humor. Sometimes it's the only way for us to get through the day and still be sane.
@@geoffreydevereaux3272 I work in memory care. The last stop for alot of folks. Our lines of work can be crushing a lot of the time but it is very important work. We gotto look out for our own mental well being from time to time and sometimes if all we can do is laugh then we do it to get through the day.
I’m also a responsible loving older sibling and of course it was my duty as my brothers protector and mentor to teach him how to fight by pushing and pinching him to build up his tolerance towards pain ❤
I wanted to see an update from the Blond Siblings. There were so many other ways they could torment their mother. But the little sister really just wants bodily autonomy her own way. Noah's suggestion of using a wig to prank the mum is fantastic. All the siblings need to sit down and establish the common objective: to never be like their mother in any way. 'Cause the problem was never the hair, it was the negligence of the mother who only cared about one thing in the siblings' lives.
Amen 🙏 (but like non-religiously) actually, fully religiously all hail discordia mother of chaos but I do agree they needed some more solidarity with eachother. not with the mother tho, they were treating her just right.
I DO kinda wonder if the youngest blonde sib should consider exploring feelings about her mom and hair in therapy. It is totally valid for her to like her long blonde hair. But, she DOES talk about their mom favoring her hair, spending hours brushing it, etc. If Mom was often neglectful, but the hair IS the way OP got attention, it's also possible there's a tangle there that needs unraveling at some point. (Honestly, see Tangled/Mother Gothel) She might still like her long blonde hair in the end. That's cool. I'm just seeing....at least yellow flags.
@katyvanhouten1487 I think you also have to consider that as the youngest she grew up under the inevitability that she would “ have to” cut her hair. So there is no room for her own autonomy here. Either she does what her mom wants or she does what her sisters want. Where does she get to do what she wants with her own hair in all of this? As much as the older sisters are rebelling against their mother forcing them to have long hair, the younger sisters doesn’t want to be forced to cut it. She has no way to rebel and do her own thing in this scenario at all.
@MissCaraMint I do see both points. I think the reasoning for the sisters is the mothers perspective is going to be "ah at least one of my children have this beautiful blonde hair" which is why they want her to cut/dye but after the youngest said she didn't want it because she loves her hair they should have accepted that even if they knew their mother would think that way. Imo I think this mother only care for their hair and neglect in every other way made them think when they cut/dye it they're "winning" maybe not the best choices of words but it might be freeing for them and a way to actually get through to the mother since that's the only thing she cares about and forces the mother to see that her children do not like her. I think that they wanted her to have this and also for all of them to and the final sibling cutting her hair would make the mother realize her issues and cry nd give them some reaction. Overall when this sister said she didn't do it they shouldn't have accepted that instead of being angry bc I agree that they did the thing their mother did by using a hair as a controlling factor. Her deciding to keep her hair is not her picking sides and I get why it could be upsetting to the sisters but their feelings are not the youngest or anyone else's responsibility but their own.
My older sister doesn’t like kids at all. But she has been obsessed with my daughters from the moment they were born! She stops by every day just to see them and has become the best aunt. It’s been such a huge blessing! I could not imagine my sister acting like that.
Yeah that first one was super weird. There has to be a looooooooot more there. There is resentment being passed from a relationship dynamic shift from the sisters to the kid. Maybe they had been much closer before the marriage and now with the baby they see each other less? That could subconsciously have someone recoil from a root cause of the situation. Still an AH way to treat a small child even if you loathe children.
I genuinely don't like very young kids across the board but I still get huge a kick out of buying presents for my partner's nieces and nephews because I love my partner and her family so much and it gives me joy to see them happy that I'm making the kids happy. Plus, as they get older and start to grow more mature personalities I like them more and more and I'm excited that I'll have a relationship with them when they become teenagers and young adults.
Idk, even at my mom’s absolute worst (it’s been many years since then and she’s been going to therapy), I couldn’t imagine wanting to make her cry. I get that not everyone has loving parents and it’s natural to want to get back at them in some way, but where Courtney was coming from just shows they’re a really kind person tbh; acting JUST to upset someone isn’t healthy or helpful even if it makes you feel better, and it’s fair not to want to encourage or reward that mindset (even if it’s deserved).
@@fwoosh8038 You gotta remember they are teenagers. Teens do stuff to spite even their dearest friends. Hormones are a bitch and make you do things you wouldn't do as an adult. I failed a class freshmen year to make my mom upset because it was the only way I could feel any control in the situation. We need to stop policing abused children to be the perfect victim when their oppressor is the person who they are taught is supposed to love and care for them unconditionally.
@@burgiegeorgeExactly. Even well-adjusted children from loving homes become rebellious teenagers who feel compelled to piss off their parents. Kids who don’t have ideal home lives or relationships with their parents shouldn’t be looked down on for growing up with difficult people under difficult circumstances.
@@abigaylebaer1085I agree with you but you can’t teach or not teach someone empathy, everyone has their own regardless. So some people had bad parents and could never hurt them and some people will do anything. I see both sides
I think I’d love to hear you guys read stories about “Gut Feelings” (stories where people trusted their intuition and it either went horribly wrong or the best decision they ever made)
@@gisselleperezmoreno1910 I dated 2 people in high school both for about a year and I'd be hard pressed to describe either of them as a "high school sweetheart"
Idk ,I still feel like it's weird to date siblings, even if it's been years apart. Courtney saying she's a person and has autonomy is obviously true but I'd definitely feel at least a little weird if my brother started dating a girl I dated.
@@uglyndumb7858 I mean, yeah, it's not unusual to feel weird about it, but that's why the brother asked if he would feel weird about it and he said he wouldn't.
The brother moved to a different state and let them make their own decisions while keeping himself removed from the situation. While he obviously needs to get over her sometimes that shit takes time and we have no control over that. If the guy wants to stay away for the time being while he deals with his shit he's 100% valid for that and people need to stop jumping down his throat over it.
It’s become a tradition for my wifey and I to watch these every Saturday. Excited for her to come back from the bathroom so I can yell “NEW SMOSH REDDIT VIDEO!!” lol
The misogynistic brother made my blood boil. "You're being such a woman being mad about cleaning the kitchen, but also please take a 'womanly' role and cook me something."
Yeah, it reminded me of someone I know from Peru. Her entire family treated the women like this and taught the men to think this way. She hated it. She doesn't bring it up often because she's moved away from there, but that culture is exactly what I was hearing when they read this story. A culture of teaching men to think this way and women to be a way, but she's online or just values herself enough to understand the world doesn't have to work that way. I didn't get the incel vibes like Noah mentioned.
feels like he hates women so much he doesn't want to her to get the shit he thinks we deserve? like bully out the weak womenness but do the role so you're liked
I was 30% pissed and 70% dumbfounded by the brother's personality because unless humanity has shifted so drastically in recent years without my knowledge and we no longer required food & water to survive as a species, the whole misogynistic ideology is not self-sustainable. Doesn't matter what you're born with between your legs or what gender you identify as later on in life. As long as you're human, you need to eat so unless you're in a situation where you can't readily prepare meals for yourself, i.e.) hospitalized due to an automobile accident, get your *ss into the kitchen and cook your own meals from time to time at a minimum.
I know I’m a dude, but my brother is quite the misogynist as well, but only because he’s such a binary thinker and believes he must always take one side. Since he’s a guy, he took the side that guys are good and women are worthless, and this is why he has taken misogyny and run with it. It doesn’t help that my father is also a 67-year old Moroccan man (women were treated like garbage in Morocco in the 1960s because Islam was…rather reflective of the timeframe). They have bounced off each other’s sexist ideals for years.
Courtney had some really dope takes in this one, especially the way she talked about fear. I know Shayne and Kimmy have the psych degrees, but Courtney has such a natural emotional intelligence
Ah yes, the duality of Courtney. She’s such a fun and playful person that it sometimes catches me off-guard when she says things that are so brilliant and insightful. I adore her so.
I hated their take about the daughters wanting to see their abusive mom cry. They lowkey defended the abuser and said the children were "mean spirited" for hating their abuser.
@@nadiamarie9833yea, that felt... weird. it's like very much this "be the bigger person" idea idolizing kindness at any cost. but sometimes empathy is not a solution. it's a hook luring you in to become ensnared by a venomous trap. and that's one of those situations where you just can't expect kindness from someone. (and that was a big mix of metaphors) like, if they found it in themselves to see her as a tortured soul likely suffering from her own traumas that led her to be this woman, see her as rather pitiful instead of monstrous. I'd consider that great! a wonderful thing, as long as they kept keeping eachother safe from her and didn't underestimate the lengths she's willing to go to, whatever those are. However It's not something you can expect or mandate from someone. Their cruelness is as much cruelness as refusing to respect a police officer is disrespect. In a sense it is, yet it's not just acceptable but necessary. the negative tone to it has to fall away. I do want to give Courtney the benefit of the doubt tho and assume she just had a gut reaction to hearing of a person being hurt, likely thinking of their own much kinder mother who they wouldn't want to see hurting for anything in the world, and unwittingly projected that lense onto it. Feeling too baffled by it to really parse it. But it definitely is very victim blame-y and shows that they haven't had to deal with a person that level of toxic. Good for her but jeez what a take.
@@nadiamarie9833 my thought, which I had assumed is where Courtney was going as well (but obviously I can't speak for them), was that the motive behind it shouldn't be to see her cry. That just sounds sadistic to me. I love that they are using the dyeing/cutting of their hair to represent them becoming their own persons, but that's all it should be; it should be about them, not the mother. Ideally, their intent behind it wouldn't be to hurt the mother but to free themselves of the mold she put them in instead. I'm not them, so I don't know the full situation, but it sounds like they are continuing that cycle of hurt (as was also brought up in the video). The mom was abusive, yes, but you can't heal pain with pain. It won't make you feel good unless you also enjoy actively hurting people.
It's always great to have Noah and Courtney on the show. And Jackie. And Angela. And Tommy. And Mac. And Shayne. And Keith. And Arasha. And Amanda. And Damien. And Ian. And Anthony. And Spencer. And Chanse. And the Crew. And Everyone
@@tacosam6197I was about to mention that lol. I was looking at that episode to see what her name was. I don't want her back. She also defended a deadbeat dad like!?!??
@@Svol09 I would really love to know what your idea of acting is. I can understand you having an opinion but they do comedy acting so it’s not always supposed to be great acting.
the moment they said their parents gave their brother too many compliments i was like okay youre jealous but then when they talked abt how the parents dont compliment the other kids, they actually started with how they dont compliment THEIR SIBLINGS, they didnt start with themselves, wich makes me believe this story more and side with them harder bc i know theyre genuinely tired of everyone elses accomplishments being minimised, not just theirs
My only problem with their take on this is… they’re ignoring that the brother has just cooked dinner for everyone present. And it’s common to complement the food/chef when you’re invited for dinner. So they’re not just complimenting his “hobby”, but the time and effort it’s taken him to prepare the meal. He definitely sounds like the jealous, petty, immature sibling. Do his hobbies feed people and save his mother from having to prepare dinner that night? If he wants praise, maybe he should learn how to cook and throw himself a dinner party 🤷🏻♀️
@@cakes4494 it certainly helps that this is a topic both of them have lots of personal experience in! listening to them talk about the soap “factions” was hilarious 😂
The way that Courtney describes family “culture” is so spot on. Every family has its own lil ecosystem complete with memes, social roles, mannerisms, etc. Gotta love it lol
i might be wrong but i think there have been studies on how families develop their own specific dialects or slang that anyone outside of the family wouldn’t understand
@@katemartin113 I wouldn’t be surprised at all if that was true, I know it’s that way with my family at least. As my siblings got married and the family started expanding, we would say and do things to make each other laugh from our childhood, but the newer family members are just confused like “what on earth are you all laughing at.” 😂 then we let them in on the joke if they wanna know, and everyone feels included!
Saying that families have their own little ecosystem is such a great way to explain things, as well as a very vivid image. Thank you for that analogy. It’s an excellent way to describe a family.
The hair one is SUCH a good example about how complicated parent/caregiver trauma can be. I agree w/Court that it can be a really tricky line to walk, that revenge-tinted energy, and at the same time people don't realize how abusive parenting impacts a person. It makes sense that to anyone that has a more positive relationship with their parents, it's hard to imagine wanting to see someone else suffer, especially a family member. Glad OP could find her own autonomy amidst all that, I hope she is doing alright!
Yeah but also lacks the perspective of a sibling on the other side. As the youngest, I can tell you they are feeling like she's choosing their mother over them. The youngest has the least knowledge of the past and is the easiest to manipulate. They probably never said they do it to make the mother cry that's her interpretation (or her mom's). It also seems like she's trying to maintain her mom's admiration which okay. I also disagree with forcing her to cut it but I'm not surprised they are upset. So I'm not sure if it's about determining her worth through her hair.
Literally my favorite series atm. Suggestion for another episode: "two sides to every reddit story". Basically finding Reddit stories that are either officially or most likely related/the same story from different povs. Okay, love you guys!!!!!!
I agree with Courtney - Noah is my favorite on these reddit videos! Between "you can't marry the love of your life" and "evolutionary, he shouldn't be allowed to live because my hands can go around his throat" he's got the best bangers by far 😂
@@jtcookie96not really you'd be surprised by the kind of guys out there that act like that they're more common than you think especially if her brother watches and likes berserk💀
@coolcat669 yeah unfortunately your right those men do exist and the brother is missing the entire point of berserk. Berserk didn't deserve catching strays though 😂
I'm not sure I'd classify him 'misogynistic'. An abusive sociopath might be more accurate. To not have the understanding of how to take care of his own self while attacking people in a manner that doesn't align with, well... anything seems like someone that doesn't have an inner-monologue or awareness. Willfully hurting people to get his own way
Hair story: The siblings are taking away control the same way the mother did. The hair isn’t the problem, the problem is the lack of control over their hair
When Shayne said, “I get with dogs and cats that somebody might feel fear.” 8:00 I immediately started picturing someone absolutely terrified of an orange tabby cat that’s eyeing them down from a window. “Mr.Nibbles has already murdered 6 grown men. I just know he’ll get to me next.”
Tbf, look at that feral wild cat breed that's like one line on the ancestral link to a house cat. They have a near 100% kill rate on hunts. Plus if a house cat hated you, you would need to run outta that build so fast to not be literally mauled.
The girls fighting over the car is hilarious. True teenage siblings right there. My Grandma is 4'11, and had to sit on stacked pillows and a phone book in vehicles lol
With the hair story, the op mentioned how much time the mom has spent on her hair and there is definitely a level of favoritism that the siblings are seeing from the mom to the op. So I feel like that the siblings are seeing the op not wanting to do the tradition as them siding with the mom. I don't think that op should do it if she doesn't want to but there is a lot of trauma related to everything surrounding hair in this family.
yeah... i got the vibes they were almost testing OP to see if she was mama's little girl or on their side & their reaction is because they feel she's against them. i don't think they are right or being fair, but i think an honest conversation between them would solve this situation.
@@tal8762 Don't you realise how much care hair that length needs? She probably never cut its length in all her 16 years of living. To destroy that just to make your mother cry and satisfy your siblings is not worth it. She likes her hair and should not have to cut it.
@@tal8762Are you one of the siblings or something? Her mother's love of the hair may have brushed(😂) off on her but she is still allowed to love and cherish her own hair despite that. I'd understand the siblings settling for her not letting the mom touch the hair again and offering to help her take care of it. Tbh though I don't even trust them to not throw dye or something at her.
Yeah, I don’t fault the siblings for how they choose to handle their own hair, but I think they’re misdirecting the frustration and hurt they feel towards their mother to OP. A lot of therapy needed for that family all-up.
the brother getting all the compliments from the parents should turn around and start complimenting his siblings in front of the parents. That way it can draw attention to the problem in a way that's constructive and not destructive
Thank you Courtney for saying it’s okay to still live with your parents when you’re older. It’s so expensive in LA, like 1500 for a small studio! Even then that’s on the cheaper side. Unlike Rachel who tried to make it a bad thing
@@Gooner184 when you're here for a good time and hear someone confirm all the fears you have and say the awful things your brain tells you daily, and also you're mentally ill, you kinda react first think later 🤷♀️ logic brain took a vacation for a little bit and emotional brain took over.
33:35 As a former CNA, yes. Absolutely. I've seen nurses and other CNAs get extremely jaded, and trying to use humor to cope with the hardships and trauma that come with the job. I think the one that stands out most to me is a nurse singing "another one bites the dust" as they were filling out a death report
i’m the middle child, and the compliment thing in the second story is SO REAL. and now every time someone says something positive about me i think they’re lying
Same. I'm the eldest and my younger sibling gets all the love and praise. While I'm known as the black sheep of the family and I feel like such a failure cuz nothing I do can please them
I also hated kids, UNTIL my sister had her first baby. Suddenly that little girl was the cutest thing in the world. I would've literally died for her. My sister is pregnant with her third baby now. Very excited oom (uncle) over here :]
i was the same, but then my nieces and nephews were born and i instantly felt unconditional love for them. just recently another nephew was born and i'm the happiest makhazi (aunt) in the world 🥰
@@tonyhokenson you're talking about iffy and the girl that takes her interests way too seriously like if ghosts where real, right? If so, i agree with you so much, it was exhausting listening to them
Body soap (liquid) story is freaking wild. All three siblings are adults, the op could just go buy their own soap instead of holding a grudge against the other siblings.
literally though. even as a college student, body soap (liquid) is like $3, thats affordable. and this is coming from someone with sensory issues who cant use body soap (bar) because it gives me the ick. id just buy my own if my mother cant.
i went and read through the post. it isnt much better, but their problem is the going behind the back of OP and the brother. hiding things and getting defensive and even violent. it doesn't sound like a good house to live in
This sounds like a family of people who have undiagnosed ASD. It can be heredetary. If the father isn't present, and they all rely on their mother for everything like this, I'm thinking the father had it, too.
Yeah. I think for other ppl its a much more common experience, or was at least, it does really change how you grow up when you see your parents for who they are very early on, i mean its okay to cry with your children but its also good to keep up a strong front or at least keep some privacy, to make your children feel safe and not like they have literally no protection in this world.
the mysognistic brother thing is such a common thing in traditional mexican families, you'd be surprised by the amount of shit male brothers can pull on their sisters just because of 'tradition'
Same amongst Indian families too. It isn't rampant but common enough to be noticeable and cuts across ethnicities and religious affiliations. Two things I can never understand is that elder women often co-perpetrate misogyny and younger males also are given a free reign over their older female siblings.
@@EdilbertFernando I think the women teaching that is just out of them being brainwashed by the men in their lives so much they believed these things too. It's absolutely wild but I guess it can happen. I wish more times in these situations women felt the need to speak up for themselves too. Just because you know .... individual thinking or trying to.
Bro, older brothers just being assholes for zero reason is so commonplace for Mexicans haha I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen my family’s men just pull the “older brother” card and then immediately be a dick about the smallest thing
Those 30 seconds of them acknowledging how people can live with their parents at any age finally overrides my bad memories from watching THAT other video. iykyk.
Ugh yes, I felt the same way. It gives me a weird relief to confirm that Shayne disagreed with THOSE guests and that's why he hadn't said anything in that moment
I live with my parents because I have health issues and I was highly isolated in my teens, no dating at all in the traditional years you would start doing that. I've done pretty much nothing at the traditional age other people do. I've only had one boyfriend my entire life and that was four years ago and he was abusive as shit. I've never had a job because of how bad my chronic pain is. I often don't feel like a human being. The added reaction of most people saying that living with your parents is the sign of a loser or unsuccessful person isn't helpful to what I have going on already. I'm working on more independence and getting more active because some positive changes have happened recently. However, I'm not someone that could probably ever live by myself, always with a roommate or partner. It makes me feel like a loser for something I can't even help when people have the attitude of "need to leave the nest by a certain age."
the misogynist brother story is unfortunately so relatable and the reason why I don't talk to my brother anymore. It's just sad when people don't believe you and chuck it off to "typical sibling fights" instead of "oh I now recognize that my brother is a misogynist and homophobe and I no longer feel safe around him" kind of sibling fight
That's so sad I'm sorry you have to deal with that and you don't have an experience with having a good relationship with a brother. My brother would NEVER treat me my sister or ny mom or any woman like this. When he was young he expected everything done for him but like that was when he was like 11, and hes 7 years younger than me. He would never do this now he does a lot more and helps my mom a lot. I can't believe how many sons act like this, and how many mothers support sons who act like this.
@@mandie17 thanks for this context. went hunting thru the comments once they mentioned that bc i could tell i was missing some important background info lol
Lmao my aunt has never EVER wanted kids but growing up me and my cousins were her everything, she has a tattoo with our names on her too! Not wanting kids is one thing, but hating ur own family for being kids is wild
I recently asked my uncle why he and his husband never had kids (because I clearly needed more cousins!). He said, "Honey, neither of us have the patience for kids. Though grandkids might have been nice" I found that hard to believe, because he is my very favorite uncle (No one tell his brothers, I love them all the same, he's just a bit more fun. Lol). I mentioned this and he said, "Baby, y'all weren't kids, you're my family. Plus, if y'all got on my nerves, I could just leave!" God, I've got to visit my family.
as someone who doesn't like kids enough to not want to hold them, when my baby cousin and niece were born i immediately got them presents. i want them to be happy and healthy still even if i don't know how to be around children and don't want to be
@@blaze048 I mean OP in that story is definitely the asshole but I wouldn't say they made disliking kids their whole personality. It's a story specifically about that situation, it makes sense for all of her focus in the story to be on the fact that she dislikes kids.
No one was bringing the baby a present, it was just a dinner, she was following her routine of bringing the pets presents because that was something she liked to do, she only got defensive when her sister yelled at her.
I had parents who overcomplimented my brother's every achievement while glossing over mine because he didn't often have "easy" successes (due to a learning disability) while I did. His B's would always go on the fridge, my A's would always go in a drawer. While it may make sense in the moment for a parent to want to build up a child that struggles, there were unintended consequences for me. It definitely was a seed for my adult imposter syndrome that downgrades and undermines every milestone I have. Meanwhile my brother cannot stand not being the center of attention because of his upbringing of constant praise and encouragement. My takeaway is that you need to be mindful as a parent in how you define "equal treatment" of your kids, because it can easily come off as favoritism.
I have the same thing! My brother is autistic and he is for sure my mother's favourite child, the way she always compliments him. For stupid things, too, like clearing his plate. He is not stupid, does not have learning disabilities, just autism (what used to be asperger's syndrome). Meanwhile I was an honours student, literally achieved awards for being the kid who kept the "problem" class together, and my mother just celebrates my brother's normal things that he can already do since he was 6. He is now a misogynistic asshole because he has never been told "no" and it was always up to me to fix any fight we had, when I literally never started anything. Oh, and he got a tutor for his French classes whilst I was left to figure out physics on my own, which I was struggling with. So... This turned into a rant, but this gets me angry. I haven't spoken to my brother for a year now because of his latest misogynistic rant, and neither have I spoken to my mother because, like always, she wants ME to apologize to HIM when he was literally threatening me and all I did was say "I don't agree, you are wrong." I only found out others have been through the same thing as I have, too, because my therapist told me about facebook groups of siblings of special needs. There are subreddits with similar stories, too. It helped me out tremendously. I recommend r/siblingsofspecialneeds and r/siblingsupport .
That liquid soap story is just peak sibling drama. When I was still living at home with my multiple siblings, we also formed alliances whenever soap and toilet paper and other things were running low and our parents couldn't pay for it. We worked out a system where we would buy things in advance and trade other items for things we needed when it came time. That's honestly what they need to do. Form a society and make a nice trading system that benefits everyone... Or they can start an item war and confuse their poor mother.
Noah needs to be here more often. His takes are the most clear cut and funny. I guess he just doesn't care much for diplomacy :D If you're an asshole, you're getting roasted! Love it.
@@nadiamarie9833honestly. not low-key, high-key. she went "how could you want to see someone cry 🥺" when we're talking about people trapped in and wanting desperately to escape a real fucking toxic situation. Blood's still boiling from that one, really love Courtney, and everything they said up to that point, but man that hurts
@@nadiamarie9833as someone with an abusive parent, I gotta softly disagree. I think wanting to hurt someone in retaliation is a natural impulse, but we have to be cognizant of the fact that if we follow through on those impulses out of spite, we’re feeding into a cycle of abuse, which is just going to wear on us even more. fighting fire with fire, y’know? everyone’s situation is nuanced and personal, but rarely do I think that resorting to malice is a valid or constructive choice to make
@@nadiamarie9833 They're not receiving backlash for the feelings, the backlash is because they care more about making the mom upset than making the sister happy. They're not bad people but they have to be called out on the fact that it's a vicious cycle and not going to pay off in the long run

My sister just had a baby, and I'll be honest, I'm profoundly uncomfortable around the little guy. But I still love him and make every effort to be a good uncle. Seems crazy not to.
I felt this way when my sis had her son. It made sense because I saw him as fragile and didn’t want to hold him. Also you cant even talk to a baby so interacting was just awkward lol. He is 3 years old now and I love him so much! I love sharing my old toys with him and playing games. I think you’ll get used to him as he gets older :)

OP #1 really made hating children and loving dogs her personality. She sounds insufferable. It’s fine to not like kids, it’s not fine to call them “it” and completely disregard their existence, ESPECIALLY when they’re family.
For the misogynist brother, it feels like he's gotten this worldview where women are only good for housework, but men are supposed to be the absolute best at everything else. He's got such high expectations for what he "should" be that he can't ever actually reach. Meanwhile, he sees his sister being reasonably happy and successful, and that completely breaks how he thinks the world is supposed to be. That's why he's complaining that she's being too womanly - if she was more masculine and playing into the role that men are supposed to take, then it would fit into his worldview. Of course she's being successful - she's acting like a man and men are successful.
Exactly. It was surreal hearing that story because I felt like I was hearing a description of my dad. Although the term gets throw around a lot, it definitely seems to be some kind of narcissism.
DUDE EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING, also I don't think it's necessarily misogyny, as a person who lives with a brother exactly like this he has a very general world view where one group should have one goal in life, I'm bi and have a boyfriend, and multiple times he's acted like it's insane that I'm going anywhere in life and also that we have an extremely stable relationship, he acts like it's crazy that my mom is incredibly successful, and he even has said that he just cares about my parents because they fund things for him and give him food, and he won't care once he leaves, long story short I think it's a weird simplification of the world and how it functions rather than just misogyny
His mindset is really interesting, to him being a woman is bad, something to look down on. You don't want anything associated with being a woman. And while it might not be obvious I do believe he love his sisters. Because why else would he care if they're "acting like a woman."
@@squarepris1m203nah Dude the brother from this story is 100% a misogynist saying to stop acting like a women like it’s a bad thing, how he generalized that “all women are like that” and all this sh*t. And from what you said about your brother it seems like he’s just small minded
Noah pointing out the cuffs of Shayne’s jeans is the funniest shit ever 🤣 Shayne’s reaction is comical and feels authentically like a “ayo wtf?!” moment
The honest discussions and takeaways from stories is great, but this series is at its absolute best when you get absurd stories like the soap (liquid) tale and the cast can use that as a springboard to tell jokes. It's nuts and I love it.
Courtney’s thing about understanding people’s fears, and how they envision said fears, was SO smart. They’re such a deep thinker, and truly want to understand people on a personal and mental level. Going to try and start living my life like this.
Hot take on the wedding planner one. I honestly think the sister was super insecure about her wedding, and deep down, she knew it wasn't going to last. She wanted her brother to tell her otherwise, but once he confirmed her insecurity she flipped out because she wanted to stay in this fantasy that her partner was right for her. If you were confident enough in your relationship, you wouldn't ask, especially to someone you know is jaded in the industry.
About the Casca fainting and having a fever because of period: Ive seen that trope more than once and I always thought it was ridiculous...until the exact same thing happened to me 😂 didnt fully pass out but I did faint and broke out into a fever shortly after. I was fine after sleeping it off, but man it felt as ridiculous as it looked in anime 😔
Also Casca was having a really bad period and then went into battle, possibly getting shot, it's been a while but I swear she gets hit by a bolt, it's not like she was taking a hike when it happened.
Thank God I'm not the only person. Like I saw that and actually related a lot. Like yeah sure it probably was written to fall into the idea of a woman being weak. But it's not unrealistic
Shout out to the other episode where the two people on the couch claimed that living with your parents in your 20s is wrong because "that means you dont have to struggle, and you cant have a genuine personality if you don't." Glad to know Shane disagrees. Imagine thinking that because someone wasn't dealt the same shit hand as you, that they then have to struggle to survive. Like just say you're jealous lmao
Also… people who live with their family later in life can also struggle and that can be *why* they are living with their family… it was such an absolutely trash fire take. People live with their parents because they have health issues, mental health issues, have had money trouble, relationship issues… because they need to support or care for their parents or a sibling… so many struggles can be had in your parents’ home!!
"Only Children Story" as a phrase seems like there's a onlyfans for only children. ....... Damn, there probably is some pedofile gross shizz like that I made my self sad. ..
I dislike children. I ADORE dogs. I like dogs more than I like most people. I also have a niece, and another one on the way, and I absolutely LOVE being an aunt. My niece is amazing, and I'm so excited for another one. I couldn't imagine calling any kid, even kids I don't like, "it." Something is seriously wrong with that first person.
Yeah! I had a child free uncle growing up who, now as an adult watching him with my cousin’s kids, I know doesn’t really care for loud, rambunctious, young children. However, I NEVER had the sense he didn’t like me as a child! He definitely limited his overall interactions with us to his personal wheelhouse if entertainment (he restores classic cars for a living so he’d show us around his shop or take us for a ride) and set firm boundaries (he wasn’t a sit-on-my-lap, piggy back ride, or rough housing uncle). but he never straight up ignored us or treated us like we didn’t exist. You know, because he’s a decent human being!
I feel OP is jealous of the kid(s). Bc she used to be close to her sister and want things to revert back to the way it used to be. The anger/hatred is so extreme that’s the only reason I can come up with
Shayne saying he doesn't get compared to his older siblings due to the age gap surprised me due to the fact my siblings and me have an even bigger age gap yet I'm still compared to them all the time
Yeah parents who compare their children don’t care about age. They care about how it makes them look to have one or more “successful” children. Successful by comparison 🙃
same. I was born 15 years after my brother was born and was still told how he was at school (we went to a small school and he was one literally part of the 5th batch of graduates) and how he was such a speech genius. Then I got compared to the eldest since mom said he was always more sociable. He's 19 years older.. People still mistake him for my dad sometimes.
My older sister and I (half siblings, same dad but different mom) are only two years apart. Apparently my dad used to say I was his concert pianist and she was his serial killer (tbf she is very spoiled and was bratty as a kid and always liked ordering me around). I do love my sister and wish we could talk more now that we’re both much older and more mature. But we also just don’t have much in common. She was a popular girl at her school and I was the socially awkward nerd at mine. I think what my dad used to say was just a joke but I don’t think we’ve ever really been compared to each other (unless you count her throwing a tantrum when she didn’t get her way and me just standing there awkwardly). But I was also spoiled as a child. However my parents didn’t bow to my every whim, they would put limits and vetos on things. Grandparents did most of the spoiling lol since I was their only grandchild, but even they had limits too. Her mom just gave her everything she wanted.
That first one was wild. Like i get not liking children. But yea refferring to her niece as "it" and dehumanizing them is crazy. Like Courtney hit the nail on the head.
That soap story was hilarious. I would have been the sibling who hoarded soap lol. Courtney is 100% right, you gotta make your alliances. Get something you know they want and make a trade, the sibling economy will thrive.

And cats can knock shit onto the floor. And reptiles can't be held half of the time. And turtles are notoriously assholes. And rabbits shit everywhere. And ferrets smell like moldy bread. And birds are some of the loudest fucking things on the planet.
Every pet has a downside to keeping it. Doesn't mean that people still don't do it.
It was an asshole move for the sister to expect OP to love her kids as much as she does. Parents who force their family into parenting their own children are dickheads. I never understood why I had to unconditionally love a child who wasn't mine to begin with. It's a bad expectation.
@@Nilruin ok but you also don't have to dehumanize the kid. Like that's a genuinely concerning tendency in my opinion. If you don't wanna be around kids, fine, but why the fuck you gotta call them "it" and insult them?

As someone who strongly dislikes kids, I still respect them. There's no reason to dehumanize/mistreat/show your dismay to them. They are living people with thoughts and feelings
I don't like kids either, or animals. But I have the decency to not go out my way to treat them like they don't exist. That sister is insane. They grow up so leaving a good impression on child is important when they become adult.
I don’t like kids either but I love to take care of my niece and nephew and they are my bestfriend’s children.It’s different when they are someone close. Also,even if they are someone else’s I don’t know,I’ll be on my best behaviour around a child and a child will be treated the nicest they can be in my presence. Even if you don’t like children, you are responsible towards them as an adult in the society to some extent.
Same, I understand that the things I don't like are things they will age out of, things I myself did as a kid that I aged out of. Even as someone who is on the spectrum I do my best to be friendly, patient and approachable to my little nephews because I want to have a relationship with them when they inevitably out grow the behaviors I struggle with. They're little people who are guilty of nothing but growing, I'M the one with the issue, I'M the adult, it's my responsibility to be understanding and patient.
It's also just nice to be civil/kind to kids because they, much like us, didn't ask to be here.
I have an active repulsion to kids, I tried to get over it multiple times but I can't. Until they're about 5-6, I really really don't like them. But I still bought my youngest cousins books for their birthday this year, and intend to continue to do so every year. I'm not gonna babysit or participate in their care, but it's not the kids fault they exist. And I want to have a relationship with them once they're at an age that doesn't distress me.

@@natd602 🫡
I wanted to see an update from the Blond Siblings. There were so many other ways they could torment their mother. But the little sister really just wants bodily autonomy her own way. Noah's suggestion of using a wig to prank the mum is fantastic. All the siblings need to sit down and establish the common objective: to never be like their mother in any way. 'Cause the problem was never the hair, it was the negligence of the mother who only cared about one thing in the siblings' lives.
Amen 🙏 (but like non-religiously)
actually, fully religiously all hail discordia mother of chaos but I do agree they needed some more solidarity with eachother. not with the mother tho, they were treating her just right.
@@sourwitch2340Praise be Sobek!
I DO kinda wonder if the youngest blonde sib should consider exploring feelings about her mom and hair in therapy.
It is totally valid for her to like her long blonde hair.
But, she DOES talk about their mom favoring her hair, spending hours brushing it, etc. If Mom was often neglectful, but the hair IS the way OP got attention, it's also possible there's a tangle there that needs unraveling at some point. (Honestly, see Tangled/Mother Gothel)
She might still like her long blonde hair in the end. That's cool. I'm just seeing....at least yellow flags.
@katyvanhouten1487 I think you also have to consider that as the youngest she grew up under the inevitability that she would “ have to” cut her hair. So there is no room for her own autonomy here. Either she does what her mom wants or she does what her sisters want. Where does she get to do what she wants with her own hair in all of this? As much as the older sisters are rebelling against their mother forcing them to have long hair, the younger sisters doesn’t want to be forced to cut it. She has no way to rebel and do her own thing in this scenario at all.
@MissCaraMint I do see both points. I think the reasoning for the sisters is the mothers perspective is going to be "ah at least one of my children have this beautiful blonde hair" which is why they want her to cut/dye but after the youngest said she didn't want it because she loves her hair they should have accepted that even if they knew their mother would think that way. Imo I think this mother only care for their hair and neglect in every other way made them think when they cut/dye it they're "winning" maybe not the best choices of words but it might be freeing for them and a way to actually get through to the mother since that's the only thing she cares about and forces the mother to see that her children do not like her. I think that they wanted her to have this and also for all of them to and the final sibling cutting her hair would make the mother realize her issues and cry nd give them some reaction. Overall when this sister said she didn't do it they shouldn't have accepted that instead of being angry bc I agree that they did the thing their mother did by using a hair as a controlling factor. Her deciding to keep her hair is not her picking sides and I get why it could be upsetting to the sisters but their feelings are not the youngest or anyone else's responsibility but their own.
My older sister doesn’t like kids at all. But she has been obsessed with my daughters from the moment they were born! She stops by every day just to see them and has become the best aunt. It’s been such a huge blessing! I could not imagine my sister acting like that.
Yeah that one was strange. I do not want kids but I love being an uncle.
Yeah that first one was super weird. There has to be a looooooooot more there. There is resentment being passed from a relationship dynamic shift from the sisters to the kid. Maybe they had been much closer before the marriage and now with the baby they see each other less? That could subconsciously have someone recoil from a root cause of the situation.
Still an AH way to treat a small child even if you loathe children.
I genuinely don't like very young kids across the board but I still get huge a kick out of buying presents for my partner's nieces and nephews because I love my partner and her family so much and it gives me joy to see them happy that I'm making the kids happy. Plus, as they get older and start to grow more mature personalities I like them more and more and I'm excited that I'll have a relationship with them when they become teenagers and young adults.
I can’t handle kids but I love caring for my niece and nephew.
My sister was the same way. As soon as my son was born, she loved him like I do. He converted her, I think. Now she works at a school. 😊
Lowkey jealous of Courtney the fact the she can’t even imagine wanting to be so spiteful against a parent bc she has such loving parents
Idk, even at my mom’s absolute worst (it’s been many years since then and she’s been going to therapy), I couldn’t imagine wanting to make her cry. I get that not everyone has loving parents and it’s natural to want to get back at them in some way, but where Courtney was coming from just shows they’re a really kind person tbh; acting JUST to upset someone isn’t healthy or helpful even if it makes you feel better, and it’s fair not to want to encourage or reward that mindset (even if it’s deserved).
@@fwoosh8038 You gotta remember they are teenagers. Teens do stuff to spite even their dearest friends. Hormones are a bitch and make you do things you wouldn't do as an adult.

We need to stop policing abused children to be the perfect victim when their oppressor is the person who they are taught is supposed to love and care for them unconditionally.

@@uglyndumb7858 I mean, yeah, it's not unusual to feel weird about it, but that's why the brother asked if he would feel weird about it and he said he wouldn't.
The brother moved to a different state and let them make their own decisions while keeping himself removed from the situation. While he obviously needs to get over her sometimes that shit takes time and we have no control over that. If the guy wants to stay away for the time being while he deals with his shit he's 100% valid for that and people need to stop jumping down his throat over it.

The misogynistic brother made my blood boil. "You're being such a woman being mad about cleaning the kitchen, but also please take a 'womanly' role and cook me something."
As a dude myself, I have never once treated or even would think to treat my wife like that. Ever..
Yeah, it reminded me of someone I know from Peru. Her entire family treated the women like this and taught the men to think this way. She hated it. She doesn't bring it up often because she's moved away from there, but that culture is exactly what I was hearing when they read this story. A culture of teaching men to think this way and women to be a way, but she's online or just values herself enough to understand the world doesn't have to work that way. I didn't get the incel vibes like Noah mentioned.
feels like he hates women so much he doesn't want to her to get the shit he thinks we deserve? like bully out the weak womenness but do the role so you're liked
I was 30% pissed and 70% dumbfounded by the brother's personality because unless humanity has shifted so drastically in recent years without my knowledge and we no longer required food & water to survive as a species, the whole misogynistic ideology is not self-sustainable.
Doesn't matter what you're born with between your legs or what gender you identify as later on in life. As long as you're human, you need to eat so unless you're in a situation where you can't readily prepare meals for yourself, i.e.) hospitalized due to an automobile accident, get your *ss into the kitchen and cook your own meals from time to time at a minimum.
I know I’m a dude, but my brother is quite the misogynist as well, but only because he’s such a binary thinker and believes he must always take one side. Since he’s a guy, he took the side that guys are good and women are worthless, and this is why he has taken misogyny and run with it. It doesn’t help that my father is also a 67-year old Moroccan man (women were treated like garbage in Morocco in the 1960s because Islam was…rather reflective of the timeframe). They have bounced off each other’s sexist ideals for years.
Courtney had some really dope takes in this one, especially the way she talked about fear. I know Shayne and Kimmy have the psych degrees, but Courtney has such a natural emotional intelligence
Ah yes, the duality of Courtney. She’s such a fun and playful person that it sometimes catches me off-guard when she says things that are so brilliant and insightful. I adore her so.
I also loved the insight they bought to the table about the inner working of big families
I hated their take about the daughters wanting to see their abusive mom cry. They lowkey defended the abuser and said the children were "mean spirited" for hating their abuser.
@@nadiamarie9833yea, that felt... weird. it's like very much this "be the bigger person" idea idolizing kindness at any cost. but sometimes empathy is not a solution. it's a hook luring you in to become ensnared by a venomous trap. and that's one of those situations where you just can't expect kindness from someone. (and that was a big mix of metaphors)
like, if they found it in themselves to see her as a tortured soul likely suffering from her own traumas that led her to be this woman, see her as rather pitiful instead of monstrous. I'd consider that great! a wonderful thing, as long as they kept keeping eachother safe from her and didn't underestimate the lengths she's willing to go to, whatever those are.
However
It's not something you can expect or mandate from someone. Their cruelness is as much cruelness as refusing to respect a police officer is disrespect. In a sense it is, yet it's not just acceptable but necessary. the negative tone to it has to fall away.
I do want to give Courtney the benefit of the doubt tho and assume she just had a gut reaction to hearing of a person being hurt, likely thinking of their own much kinder mother who they wouldn't want to see hurting for anything in the world, and unwittingly projected that lense onto it. Feeling too baffled by it to really parse it. But it definitely is very victim blame-y and shows that they haven't had to deal with a person that level of toxic. Good for her but jeez what a take.
@@nadiamarie9833 my thought, which I had assumed is where Courtney was going as well (but obviously I can't speak for them), was that the motive behind it shouldn't be to see her cry. That just sounds sadistic to me. I love that they are using the dyeing/cutting of their hair to represent them becoming their own persons, but that's all it should be; it should be about them, not the mother. Ideally, their intent behind it wouldn't be to hurt the mother but to free themselves of the mold she put them in instead.
I'm not them, so I don't know the full situation, but it sounds like they are continuing that cycle of hurt (as was also brought up in the video). The mom was abusive, yes, but you can't heal pain with pain. It won't make you feel good unless you also enjoy actively hurting people.
shayne’s heavy sigh after saying “they needed someone to fuck their feelings out” was so real and so funny 😭

@@Svol09 I would really love to know what your idea of acting is. I can understand you having an opinion but they do comedy acting so it’s not always supposed to be great acting.
the moment they said their parents gave their brother too many compliments i was like okay youre jealous but then when they talked abt how the parents dont compliment the other kids, they actually started with how they dont compliment THEIR SIBLINGS, they didnt start with themselves, wich makes me believe this story more and side with them harder bc i know theyre genuinely tired of everyone elses accomplishments being minimised, not just theirs
My only problem with their take on this is… they’re ignoring that the brother has just cooked dinner for everyone present. And it’s common to complement the food/chef when you’re invited for dinner. So they’re not just complimenting his “hobby”, but the time and effort it’s taken him to prepare the meal. He definitely sounds like the jealous, petty, immature sibling. Do his hobbies feed people and save his mother from having to prepare dinner that night? If he wants praise, maybe he should learn how to cook and throw himself a dinner party 🤷🏻♀️

tbh i think, out of all the pairs of guests on this show, courtney and noah have been the most insightful

@@WishGender the episode with damien and courtney is one of my favorites for sure!
The way that Courtney describes family “culture” is so spot on. Every family has its own lil ecosystem complete with memes, social roles, mannerisms, etc. Gotta love it lol
i might be wrong but i think there have been studies on how families develop their own specific dialects or slang that anyone outside of the family wouldn’t understand
@@katemartin113 I wouldn’t be surprised at all if that was true, I know it’s that way with my family at least. As my siblings got married and the family started expanding, we would say and do things to make each other laugh from our childhood, but the newer family members are just confused like “what on earth are you all laughing at.” 😂 then we let them in on the joke if they wanna know, and everyone feels included!
Saying that families have their own little ecosystem is such a great way to explain things, as well as a very vivid image. Thank you for that analogy. It’s an excellent way to describe a family.
Courtney: I’m an absolute Hoarder of siblings. I have six siblings.

Good lord - are your mothers okay?
The hair one is SUCH a good example about how complicated parent/caregiver trauma can be. I agree w/Court that it can be a really tricky line to walk, that revenge-tinted energy, and at the same time people don't realize how abusive parenting impacts a person. It makes sense that to anyone that has a more positive relationship with their parents, it's hard to imagine wanting to see someone else suffer, especially a family member. Glad OP could find her own autonomy amidst all that, I hope she is doing alright!
I couldn't start my day until literally right now

@@katten39it’s Sunday for me
With where I live this gets posted when I finish work. But same.
Shayne’s degree really shined when he said the colored-hair siblings were doing what their mom does
I will say: I got very strong "Flower gleam and glow" vibes when OP was describing how their mother treated their hair.
Yeah but also lacks the perspective of a sibling on the other side. As the youngest, I can tell you they are feeling like she's choosing their mother over them. The youngest has the least knowledge of the past and is the easiest to manipulate. They probably never said they do it to make the mother cry that's her interpretation (or her mom's). It also seems like she's trying to maintain her mom's admiration which okay.
I also disagree with forcing her to cut it but I'm not surprised they are upset.
So I'm not sure if it's about determining her worth through her hair.
Love how you are all victim blaming the children and siding with the abusive mother

@coolcat669 yeah unfortunately your right those men do exist and the brother is missing the entire point of berserk. Berserk didn't deserve catching strays though 😂
I'm not sure I'd classify him 'misogynistic'. An abusive sociopath might be more accurate. To not have the understanding of how to take care of his own self while attacking people in a manner that doesn't align with, well... anything seems like someone that doesn't have an inner-monologue or awareness. Willfully hurting people to get his own way
The Noah and Shayne bit about the cuffed jeans had me rolling laughing. I love when Shayne commits and feigns outrage. 32:37
courtney’s face killed me when she realized 😭😭
32:45
Excellent and unexpected riffing between them.
There's always a bit in these episodes that I have to do a double take and 😂
Hair story: The siblings are taking away control the same way the mother did. The hair isn’t the problem, the problem is the lack of control over their hair
Yes. Op has no choice left here. Either she does what her mother wants of what her sisters want. That’s even worse.
When Shayne said, “I get with dogs and cats that somebody might feel fear.” 8:00 I immediately started picturing someone absolutely terrified of an orange tabby cat that’s eyeing them down from a window. “Mr.Nibbles has already murdered 6 grown men. I just know he’ll get to me next.”
With orange cat behavior, I would absolutely believe Mr. Nibbles has murdered grown men and that is a valid fear lol
@@natd602I came here to say this 😂 orange cats are an entity in of themselves
I’m more scared of children than cats or dogs honestly
Tbf, look at that feral wild cat breed that's like one line on the ancestral link to a house cat. They have a near 100% kill rate on hunts. Plus if a house cat hated you, you would need to run outta that build so fast to not be literally mauled.
Animals in general spook me, but I can build a tolerance ;-;
Courtney saying her dad watches everything, knowing how much she works on is 🥺
Noah, Court and Shayne were wayyy too good together for this. They're legit like Smosh siblings lmfao
It makes sense that they would be good at interpreting these shows because they all have run their own shows at one point.
this aged poorly lol

The girls fighting over the car is hilarious. True teenage siblings right there. My Grandma is 4'11, and had to sit on stacked pillows and a phone book in vehicles lol
With the hair story, the op mentioned how much time the mom has spent on her hair and there is definitely a level of favoritism that the siblings are seeing from the mom to the op. So I feel like that the siblings are seeing the op not wanting to do the tradition as them siding with the mom. I don't think that op should do it if she doesn't want to but there is a lot of trauma related to everything surrounding hair in this family.
yeah... i got the vibes they were almost testing OP to see if she was mama's little girl or on their side & their reaction is because they feel she's against them. i don't think they are right or being fair, but i think an honest conversation between them would solve this situation.
She said she hates her mom, but her statements indicate otherwise. I think she likes being mom’s fave.
@@tal8762 Don't you realise how much care hair that length needs? She probably never cut its length in all her 16 years of living. To destroy that just to make your mother cry and satisfy your siblings is not worth it. She likes her hair and should not have to cut it.
@@tal8762Are you one of the siblings or something? Her mother's love of the hair may have brushed(😂) off on her but she is still allowed to love and cherish her own hair despite that. I'd understand the siblings settling for her not letting the mom touch the hair again and offering to help her take care of it. Tbh though I don't even trust them to not throw dye or something at her.
Yeah, I don’t fault the siblings for how they choose to handle their own hair, but I think they’re misdirecting the frustration and hurt they feel towards their mother to OP. A lot of therapy needed for that family all-up.
the brother getting all the compliments from the parents should turn around and start complimenting his siblings in front of the parents. That way it can draw attention to the problem in a way that's constructive and not destructive
This sounds like the perfect solution
Thank you Courtney for saying it’s okay to still live with your parents when you’re older. It’s so expensive in LA, like 1500 for a small studio! Even then that’s on the cheaper side. Unlike Rachel who tried to make it a bad thing

Totally get this. I’m the oldest and was ridiculed about everything. Now any time someone compliments me I think they are joking. 🙃
Same. I'm the eldest and my younger sibling gets all the love and praise. While I'm known as the black sheep of the family and I feel like such a failure cuz nothing I do can please them

Body soap (liquid) story is freaking wild. All three siblings are adults, the op could just go buy their own soap instead of holding a grudge against the other siblings.
literally though. even as a college student, body soap (liquid) is like $3, thats affordable. and this is coming from someone with sensory issues who cant use body soap (bar) because it gives me the ick. id just buy my own if my mother cant.
i went and read through the post. it isnt much better, but their problem is the going behind the back of OP and the brother. hiding things and getting defensive and even violent. it doesn't sound like a good house to live in
This sounds like a family of people who have undiagnosed ASD. It can be heredetary. If the father isn't present, and they all rely on their mother for everything like this, I'm thinking the father had it, too.

Im so glad they're posting these regularly now.
Same! I love how this channel reacts vs read and move on.
I'm glad the cast doesn't understand how one could want to see their mom cry, meaning they grew up happy.
Yeah. I think for other ppl its a much more common experience, or was at least, it does really change how you grow up when you see your parents for who they are very early on, i mean its okay to cry with your children but its also good to keep up a strong front or at least keep some privacy, to make your children feel safe and not like they have literally no protection in this world.
the mysognistic brother thing is such a common thing in traditional mexican families, you'd be surprised by the amount of shit male brothers can pull on their sisters just because of 'tradition'
Same amongst Indian families too. It isn't rampant but common enough to be noticeable and cuts across ethnicities and religious affiliations. Two things I can never understand is that elder women often co-perpetrate misogyny and younger males also are given a free reign over their older female siblings.
@@EdilbertFernando I think the women teaching that is just out of them being brainwashed by the men in their lives so much they believed these things too. It's absolutely wild but I guess it can happen. I wish more times in these situations women felt the need to speak up for themselves too. Just because you know .... individual thinking or trying to.
In the words of Kendrick Lamar, "in the land where hurt people hurt more people, fuck calling it culture"
Bro, older brothers just being assholes for zero reason is so commonplace for Mexicans haha

@@yan_dj Ify and Rachel
I live with my parents because I have health issues and I was highly isolated in my teens, no dating at all in the traditional years you would start doing that. I've done pretty much nothing at the traditional age other people do. I've only had one boyfriend my entire life and that was four years ago and he was abusive as shit. I've never had a job because of how bad my chronic pain is. I often don't feel like a human being. The added reaction of most people saying that living with your parents is the sign of a loser or unsuccessful person isn't helpful to what I have going on already. I'm working on more independence and getting more active because some positive changes have happened recently. However, I'm not someone that could probably ever live by myself, always with a roommate or partner. It makes me feel like a loser for something I can't even help when people have the attitude of "need to leave the nest by a certain age."
the misogynist brother story is unfortunately so relatable and the reason why I don't talk to my brother anymore. It's just sad when people don't believe you and chuck it off to "typical sibling fights" instead of "oh I now recognize that my brother is a misogynist and homophobe and I no longer feel safe around him" kind of sibling fight
That's so sad I'm sorry you have to deal with that and you don't have an experience with having a good relationship with a brother.
My brother would NEVER treat me my sister or ny mom or any woman like this. When he was young he expected everything done for him but like that was when he was like 11, and hes 7 years younger than me. He would never do this now he does a lot more and helps my mom a lot. I can't believe how many sons act like this, and how many mothers support sons who act like this.

Lmao my aunt has never EVER wanted kids but growing up me and my cousins were her everything, she has a tattoo with our names on her too! Not wanting kids is one thing, but hating ur own family for being kids is wild
I recently asked my uncle why he and his husband never had kids (because I clearly needed more cousins!). He said, "Honey, neither of us have the patience for kids. Though grandkids might have been nice" I found that hard to believe, because he is my very favorite uncle (No one tell his brothers, I love them all the same, he's just a bit more fun. Lol).
I mentioned this and he said, "Baby, y'all weren't kids, you're my family. Plus, if y'all got on my nerves, I could just leave!" God, I've got to visit my family.
as someone who doesn't like kids enough to not want to hold them, when my baby cousin and niece were born i immediately got them presents. i want them to be happy and healthy still even if i don't know how to be around children and don't want to be
Because you're a good person who didn't make hating kids your whole personality, unlike that op
@@blaze048 I mean OP in that story is definitely the asshole but I wouldn't say they made disliking kids their whole personality. It's a story specifically about that situation, it makes sense for all of her focus in the story to be on the fact that she dislikes kids.
@@Rohrae it's more so HOW she described her feelings about kids and dogs and how she went about it
No one was bringing the baby a present, it was just a dinner, she was following her routine of bringing the pets presents because that was something she liked to do, she only got defensive when her sister yelled at her.
I had parents who overcomplimented my brother's every achievement while glossing over mine because he didn't often have "easy" successes (due to a learning disability) while I did. His B's would always go on the fridge, my A's would always go in a drawer. While it may make sense in the moment for a parent to want to build up a child that struggles, there were unintended consequences for me. It definitely was a seed for my adult imposter syndrome that downgrades and undermines every milestone I have. Meanwhile my brother cannot stand not being the center of attention because of his upbringing of constant praise and encouragement. My takeaway is that you need to be mindful as a parent in how you define "equal treatment" of your kids, because it can easily come off as favoritism.
I have the same thing! My brother is autistic and he is for sure my mother's favourite child, the way she always compliments him. For stupid things, too, like clearing his plate. He is not stupid, does not have learning disabilities, just autism (what used to be asperger's syndrome). Meanwhile I was an honours student, literally achieved awards for being the kid who kept the "problem" class together, and my mother just celebrates my brother's normal things that he can already do since he was 6. He is now a misogynistic asshole because he has never been told "no" and it was always up to me to fix any fight we had, when I literally never started anything. Oh, and he got a tutor for his French classes whilst I was left to figure out physics on my own, which I was struggling with.
So... This turned into a rant, but this gets me angry. I haven't spoken to my brother for a year now because of his latest misogynistic rant, and neither have I spoken to my mother because, like always, she wants ME to apologize to HIM when he was literally threatening me and all I did was say "I don't agree, you are wrong."
I only found out others have been through the same thing as I have, too, because my therapist told me about facebook groups of siblings of special needs. There are subreddits with similar stories, too. It helped me out tremendously. I recommend r/siblingsofspecialneeds and r/siblingsupport .
That liquid soap story is just peak sibling drama. When I was still living at home with my multiple siblings, we also formed alliances whenever soap and toilet paper and other things were running low and our parents couldn't pay for it. We worked out a system where we would buy things in advance and trade other items for things we needed when it came time. That's honestly what they need to do. Form a society and make a nice trading system that benefits everyone...
Or they can start an item war and confuse their poor mother.

@@doid4354 yeah, I have a bunch of other nieces and nephews, they definitely get better once they can do more than shit, wiggle, and scream 😂
Yeah, it’s not so much dislike for me as it is intimidation. I don’t really know how to… interact with them. It’s probably the autism 🤷🏼♂️
@@mattuwu9978 I just don't know how to interact with them, they do not function yet. I constantly tell my baby nephew that giraffe babies drop six feet and then stand up within the hour of being born, so I don't know what his excuse is 😂 I also smashed my oldest nephew's finger in his stroller when he was an infant, and that clearly left some residual scars, so I live in fear of hurting babies.
@@CJMGalaxy me, sitting at my 4 year old niece’s tiny pink picnic table, hands folded together and staring at her while she watches cocomelon on a crusty iPad: Nearly all other mammals are born functionally independent. You do not have an excuse…… Feel free to serve me more plastic chicken once your lunch break is over.
I’d love to see the OG squad (aka Noah, Keith, Olivia, Courtney, and Shayne) do an episode where they read about friend groups.
that's actually an awesome idea
such a great idea
OP #1 really made hating children and loving dogs her personality. She sounds insufferable.
It’s fine to not like kids, it’s not fine to call them “it” and completely disregard their existence, ESPECIALLY when they’re family.
With how many “Courtney has infinite identical siblings” jokes I hear, i assumed she would have AT LEAST 10 siblings
To be honest, six still sounds like a lot. But the jokes have definitely skewed my expectations lmao
You're not accounting for the cousins
For the misogynist brother, it feels like he's gotten this worldview where women are only good for housework, but men are supposed to be the absolute best at everything else. He's got such high expectations for what he "should" be that he can't ever actually reach. Meanwhile, he sees his sister being reasonably happy and successful, and that completely breaks how he thinks the world is supposed to be. That's why he's complaining that she's being too womanly - if she was more masculine and playing into the role that men are supposed to take, then it would fit into his worldview. Of course she's being successful - she's acting like a man and men are successful.
Exactly. It was surreal hearing that story because I felt like I was hearing a description of my dad. Although the term gets throw around a lot, it definitely seems to be some kind of narcissism.
DUDE EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING, also I don't think it's necessarily misogyny, as a person who lives with a brother exactly like this he has a very general world view where one group should have one goal in life, I'm bi and have a boyfriend, and multiple times he's acted like it's insane that I'm going anywhere in life and also that we have an extremely stable relationship, he acts like it's crazy that my mom is incredibly successful, and he even has said that he just cares about my parents because they fund things for him and give him food, and he won't care once he leaves, long story short I think it's a weird simplification of the world and how it functions rather than just misogyny
His mindset is really interesting, to him being a woman is bad, something to look down on. You don't want anything associated with being a woman. And while it might not be obvious I do believe he love his sisters. Because why else would he care if they're "acting like a woman."
@@squarepris1m203nah Dude the brother from this story is 100% a misogynist saying to stop acting like a women like it’s a bad thing, how he generalized that “all women are like that” and all this sh*t. And from what you said about your brother it seems like he’s just small minded
Noah pointing out the cuffs of Shayne’s jeans is the funniest shit ever 🤣 Shayne’s reaction is comical and feels authentically like a “ayo wtf?!” moment
25:51 when Noah says he totalled the car and Courtney reacts "Aww" but Shayne just loses it 😂
The honest discussions and takeaways from stories is great, but this series is at its absolute best when you get absurd stories like the soap (liquid) tale and the cast can use that as a springboard to tell jokes. It's nuts and I love it.
The tangent after the eating in the car post was so good, really felt like I was hanging with my cool uncles
Courtney’s thing about understanding people’s fears, and how they envision said fears, was SO smart. They’re such a deep thinker, and truly want to understand people on a personal and mental level. Going to try and start living my life like this.
Love it when mom & dad read us bed time stories! Mr. & Mrs. Topp 😅
i think it’s mrs and mr miller lol ain’t no way shayne wouldn’t take his wife’s name /j
Quiet everyone, father is reading us the weekly newspaper
Hot take on the wedding planner one. I honestly think the sister was super insecure about her wedding, and deep down, she knew it wasn't going to last. She wanted her brother to tell her otherwise, but once he confirmed her insecurity she flipped out because she wanted to stay in this fantasy that her partner was right for her. If you were confident enough in your relationship, you wouldn't ask, especially to someone you know is jaded in the industry.
This episode is what the Family Drama ep SHOULD have been. So much more relatable and down-to-earth
About the Casca fainting and having a fever because of period: Ive seen that trope more than once and I always thought it was ridiculous...until the exact same thing happened to me 😂 didnt fully pass out but I did faint and broke out into a fever shortly after. I was fine after sleeping it off, but man it felt as ridiculous as it looked in anime 😔
Also Casca was having a really bad period and then went into battle, possibly getting shot, it's been a while but I swear she gets hit by a bolt, it's not like she was taking a hike when it happened.
Thank God I'm not the only person. Like I saw that and actually related a lot. Like yeah sure it probably was written to fall into the idea of a woman being weak. But it's not unrealistic
Noah's respect towards everyone is just so refreshing honestly. Plus their laugh makes me smile so there's that
As the oldest of 4 kids, I’m SO excited for these stories. Saturday truly doesn’t start until these videos get posted!!
What's that like? I'm the youngest
I have to agree with Courtney, I love when Noah is in this show!
Shout out to the other episode where the two people on the couch claimed that living with your parents in your 20s is wrong because "that means you dont have to struggle, and you cant have a genuine personality if you don't." Glad to know Shane disagrees. Imagine thinking that because someone wasn't dealt the same shit hand as you, that they then have to struggle to survive. Like just say you're jealous lmao
Also… people who live with their family later in life can also struggle and that can be *why* they are living with their family… it was such an absolutely trash fire take. People live with their parents because they have health issues, mental health issues, have had money trouble, relationship issues… because they need to support or care for their parents or a sibling… so many struggles can be had in your parents’ home!!
Who said this?

now we 100% need an "Only Children Stories" version
"Only Children Story" as a phrase seems like there's a onlyfans for only children.
....... Damn, there probably is some pedofile gross shizz like that
I made my self sad.

yes!! as an only child i couldn't relate to any of these lmao so i would love to have an only child reddit stories vid

I dislike children. I ADORE dogs. I like dogs more than I like most people.
I also have a niece, and another one on the way, and I absolutely LOVE being an aunt. My niece is amazing, and I'm so excited for another one. I couldn't imagine calling any kid, even kids I don't like, "it." Something is seriously wrong with that first person.
Exactly! My uncle hated kids but loved his neices and nephews, cuz he didn't have to parent us😂.
Yeah! I had a child free uncle growing up who, now as an adult watching him with my cousin’s kids, I know doesn’t really care for loud, rambunctious, young children. However, I NEVER had the sense he didn’t like me as a child! He definitely limited his overall interactions with us to his personal wheelhouse if entertainment (he restores classic cars for a living so he’d show us around his shop or take us for a ride) and set firm boundaries (he wasn’t a sit-on-my-lap, piggy back ride, or rough housing uncle). but he never straight up ignored us or treated us like we didn’t exist. You know, because he’s a decent human being!
I feel OP is jealous of the kid(s). Bc she used to be close to her sister and want things to revert back to the way it used to be. The anger/hatred is so extreme that’s the only reason I can come up with
Or maybe she was mad at her sister for yelling at her for following a routine, and called the baby an it as a passive retaliation?
Shayne saying he doesn't get compared to his older siblings due to the age gap surprised me due to the fact my siblings and me have an even bigger age gap yet I'm still compared to them all the time
And when I say bigger age gap I mean I have two siblings old enough to be my parent and they get mistaken for my parent when I'm with them
Yeah parents who compare their children don’t care about age. They care about how it makes them look to have one or more “successful” children. Successful by comparison 🙃
same. I was born 15 years after my brother was born and was still told how he was at school (we went to a small school and he was one literally part of the 5th batch of graduates) and how he was such a speech genius. Then I got compared to the eldest since mom said he was always more sociable.
He's 19 years older.. People still mistake him for my dad sometimes.
My older sister and I (half siblings, same dad but different mom) are only two years apart. Apparently my dad used to say I was his concert pianist and she was his serial killer (tbf she is very spoiled and was bratty as a kid and always liked ordering me around). I do love my sister and wish we could talk more now that we’re both much older and more mature. But we also just don’t have much in common. She was a popular girl at her school and I was the socially awkward nerd at mine. I think what my dad used to say was just a joke but I don’t think we’ve ever really been compared to each other (unless you count her throwing a tantrum when she didn’t get her way and me just standing there awkwardly). But I was also spoiled as a child. However my parents didn’t bow to my every whim, they would put limits and vetos on things. Grandparents did most of the spoiling lol since I was their only grandchild, but even they had limits too. Her mom just gave her everything she wanted.
That first one was wild. Like i get not liking children. But yea refferring to her niece as "it" and dehumanizing them is crazy. Like Courtney hit the nail on the head.
That soap story was hilarious. I would have been the sibling who hoarded soap lol. Courtney is 100% right, you gotta make your alliances. Get something you know they want and make a trade, the sibling economy will thrive.
