Had to do this for my brother once, I was 8, he was 1 1/2, someone left giant screws laying around and the dingus tried to eat one. I got praised as a hero for a week so that was nice. Used to bring it up during sibling arguments lmao
Its hard to find the equilibrium when youve got two at different developmental stages, and what the youngest can reach changes daily. Thats a great job from the older sibling. No shade on the mom. The older kid probably knew to do it from watching the mom.
As an older brother and someone with two young nephews, nah. That's concern and protective instinct. I was terrible to my younger brothers and put them through hell but I saved their lives several times in cases like this or worse, acting before I even thought about what was happening. You can see his face he's not being petty he's being a protector
To clarify my comment: I simply did not understand what was coming out of the baby's mouth and there was no explanation or audio that clarified anything, moreover, I am not eagle-eyed.
It's possible this baby shoves everything into their mouths and has seen mom or dad yanking things out and being serious/nervous. Kids pickup on agitation as well as anyone. They can't explain what they're seeing or why. But they can tell. Usually. Some kids are just dumb. Haha let the downvotes begin
You'd think. But some Karen has decided that her little Johnny is a rocket surgeon at 18 months old because he can unscrew the cap on the paste by himself. Nevermind that he eats handfuls a day

That kid is FAST with it too!!

The kid didn’t hesitate even a little

I pulled that exact same move on my little sister when she was about that age.

What was in the kid's mouth?

Not the first time he’s done that

I'm impressed how well the little one takes it really. "Huh ? Oh well"

God bless good parenting covering the ground for bad parenting moments

This kid is gonna hear this story retold by his mother repeatedly until he dies. Hell yeah.

Teach your kids about situational awareness and being observant.

not the first time that happened

You can see the moment his eyes zero in on the hazard.

My older sister was told not to eat toadstools, because they were poisonous, and it would kill her, so she fed them to me.

That kid is used to losing toys to the baby eating them

Went from 'play' to 'action mode' within 3 seconds flat. Nice work little man.

I'm guessing he took something dangerous out of her mouth but...

But..? Looks pretty clear he pulled some plastic thing the kid had in its mouth which you absolutely never want

But what?

Just lost my big sister in January. Who is gonna tell me when I'm full of shit now??
nachosyndicate
Yourself. You always could.

You're full of shit, bro. (Just beep me when you need a reminder)
elibug
You're full of shit. Shoot me a DM whenever you need to be told. Sorry about your loss.

Smart kid to recognize that and do something about it
tmy75wildcats101
My nephew(5yrs) has done that for his younger brother (1.5yrs). It's impressive to see.
Tak231
You can see the thoughts being processed and the "oh shit" moment on the kids face.

Probably were just thinking: Mom says you're not allowed to put that in your mouth.

Still amazing that a toddler recognized the danger so quickly.

I'd guess he didn't recognize the danger but knows you're not allowed to do that. Kids love to police their siblings.
080080
maybe he just didn't want to lose his toy.
ijustthinktheyareneat
Thats what i thought as well
DrMoneybeard
Nah look at his expression. It's not petulant or angry, that is straight up jump into action. This kid has great instincts!

And this is one of the reasons so many oldest siblings have the "fuck it, I'll do it myself" complex.
KittyKlimt6
I don't get it. What is "this"? The reflex to help? Causing complex? Or the "bad mom"?

In a family of 5 kids my eldest brother will start a task given to him by asking for help.
