I like to see Moms do that. Kids think they are headed to blow out someone else's candles and the Moms snatch them right up. 😆
Pretty sure that kid’s got a rap sheet of birthday violations. 😂
That wasn't drastic. Now if she had swept his leg...
at least she did something about it...I've watched so many reels of people letting their entitled children ruin other children's special days without intervening
Extra points for a mom who is watching her child & takes immediate action to stop the child! 👍
She handled that like a pro
oh I got one of those at home too. on go all day😅
this is why fathers are important
Momma the birthday cop !! done what needed to be done and right on time..
She took him out like an assassin!😆😆
A mother who knows what her son's about to do before he does and stops him on time🤔
Good job mom!!👍👏 That wasn't her first rodeo. 🤣
right on time
Thats a good momma right there
Great save, I love that she smiled and continued to sing, nothing to see here folks!
That's what a Mother is supposed to do. Take notes people.
this is the problem when you let your kids run rampant and they have no boundaries
That's not drastic. My mom would've slapped the shit out of me.
NOT DRASTIC! Just a Mom that knows her Son 😆😆😆 I respect that👍
a friend of mine had a birthday party aged 7, for her daughter, and a little boy was going to blow out the # 7 on the cake, his dad caught him just in time, BUT the boy got so angry his dad did that, he threw a tantrum and purposely kicked the table over with the cake and food......that boy didn't go on a family vacation, birthday parties, even his own, or camping trips for a year....and the boy grew up to b an attorney....SAD!!!!
That mom is my hero, NOT the mom letting her kid break everything in Walmart “UNTI SHE CALMS DOWN” Good job mom!
He shouldn’t get a cupcake either.
She was quick. That is an experienced mother.
good save mom.
My bad! given the size of his momma... he wasn't headed to blow the candles out, catch my drift... sad fat kid day in America... PARENTS!!! STEP UP... any EXCUSES or responses to my post from obese children's parents .... PLEASE "STEP UP"!!! on the scale and post your reasons for a fat, obese, unhealthy child that YOU, mind you... are supposed to rear, raise and protect.... PLEASE POST YOUR IRRESPONSIBLY 🙏
she was scared he was gonna eat a cupcake before she could get one
Kid was just trying to get a cupcake before his mother got there and are them all !!! lol 😂
that wasn't drastic at all 😂🤣 y'all are just sensitive
Great job mom
Actually, those children were singing better than most adults. And that mom, she was right grabbed him up. Don’t let him ruin his friends, finally blowing out his candle. And you can tell that little fella was not happy.
😂😂😂😂she said nope not today
little brat
And that’s how it’s done moms ,don’t tell me it’s no big deal he just likes to blow out candles lol ,thanks mom for letting his friend have his moment ❤️❤️❤️
good mother
Look birthday cup cakes still in the package 📦 great birthday 🎂 lol
Good mom
i think she's done that before 😆
Nice save mom.👏👏👏👏👏 That little boy was on a mission.🫢🫢🤭🤭
That mom gets my vote for mother of the year
good save mama!
Good catch Mama!!!
great move, Mom!!!😆
got that booger😆😆😆😆
Good job, mom!!!
What a fast mama. Good job 👍
I'm that mom... 😆🥰🥰
nice friend! I had someone over once whose child kept popping my daughters huge mylar ballons and had the audacity to keep giving them to her and only saying be nice dont pop your friends birthday balloons
Good job mom!
Why do kids do that???
drastic? a bit dramatic are we?
Little badass one trip to bathroom is all that’s needed he would never try anything like that again👀👀👀
Great dash mom 👍for a happy ending 😀
What a good mom she’s got it under control! I’m glad she caught him before he blow them out
good for that mom😁
Good save mom!!!
Good job mom. lol
quick thinking
I love her for that some people just let their kids be entitled.
As she should…teach ur kid everything isn’t always about them and don’t take anyone else’s spotlight
good job mom
GOOD ON MOM!
Mom was on it!!!!! Good job mom on the quick reaction. Kids be pushing the limits
I’m so proud of her!!! Great job momma.
Oh, the look on the imposter's face when the birthday boy actually did blow out the candles....his little face crumpled 😆
That mom is on it!
Good for her! love it!
She’s gotta do what she’s gotta do. 😂
Today’s parents must administer corporal punishment for the sake of mankind and humanity children must be corporal Marshall punishment to learn their sense of entitlement must be nipped at the bud🙏🏼
that's a great mom and she did nothing wrong she only did what was appropriate and I commend it I wish I saw more of this and I guarantee you her kid will grow up with boundaries because his mom taught him boundaries
I’m an only child so I don’t know what it’s like to have brothers or sisters, but I definitely wouldn’t want a little bratty brother like that
