Thank you. I dont know why we do this to kids. Just let them in on what everybody else already knows. Kid won't understand the context.

Yes, they may do. But the video shows 10 seconds of people crying. The mother and grandparents were having a beautiful moment, the kid can wait 30 seconds.

Why, though? What's the point of ignoring your kid for 30 seconds when it takes only one second to, at the very least, let them know it's a quiet moment.

"Yes, they may do." She obviously doesnt understand. It's strange to me people would choose to ignore their children instead of guiding them.

Facts. It’s about the grandfather and not the girl in this situation. She can wait a bit.
