Eldest child’s selfless reaction to surprise gift winning hearts online – Watch
In many families, the eldest child often takes on more responsibilities because they are seen as more mature and the capable one.
This can be due to cultural expectations or because parents need extra help managing the family. The eldest child might help their parents and siblings, often putting their own needs aside to support their family.
Recently, a video went viral on social media showing how the eldest child in a family handled receiving a surprise gift.
In the video, a father gives toy bikes to his two children—a young girl and her older brother. When the girl gets her bike, she excitedly rides it and then spots a new, stylish bike.
The older brother, however, does not immediately rush to the new bike. Instead, he watches and stands aside, showing no sense of entitlement.
As the girl enjoys the new bike, the older brother runs to his father and gives him a heartfelt hug. The father smiles warmly as he embraces his son. This touching moment has resonated with many viewers.
The video has received 116 million views, 10.6 million likes, and 43,400 comments. Many users praised the older brother’s maturity and selflessness.
One user commented, “He’s so mature in his behavior 😍.” Another user said, “He tried so hard to be happy for her. I know it. He’s a good brother, and I hope everyone realizes it. God bless him.” Another user remarked, “He ran back to his dad instead of getting on the bike 😭😭😭🤌.”
“I couldn’t control my tears 😫😍,” wrote a user while another commented, “The hug was the most satisfying thing to see today 😆😭😌.”
Netizens also praised the parents. “Great parenting. Great kids ❤️,” wrote another user.
