Grandmother creates YouTube channel to bond with grandchild

magicalmanatee0 · 2024-04-11T13:22:17+00:00

This is the cutest most wholesome thing!!

locnloaded9mm · 2024-04-11T14:54:22+00:00

This is exactly the reason why YouTube was created in the first place just doing what they enjoy. In this case sharing moments with her grandbaby and other smol babies. Love it.

Hypnoidz · 2024-04-11T13:49:47+00:00

Love finds a way

puasamanda · 2024-04-11T15:14:13+00:00

My aunt did this for her kids and grandkids when she was out-of-state for a few years. Except she did a cooking channel for them, because they all missed her cooking and wanted to be able to cook with her and learn her recipes.

She did not make the channel private, figuring no one would watch.

She now has 780,000 subscribers. It is insane, and the whole journey has shocked her to her core amd changed all their lives.

Maatjuhhh · 2024-04-11T14:39:04+00:00

That’s a clever and creative idea. Bonus, every story can be replayed and saved for years later. His future children can experience the same thing.

WeirdOtter121 · 2024-04-11T13:45:20+00:00

What a thoughtful, warm-hearted and smart thing to do!

Actually genius! What an amazing grandma

fromouterspace1 · 2024-04-11T13:50:46+00:00

Love to see it :)

2tinymonkeys · 2024-04-11T13:56:16+00:00

This is so cute!

Hoaxygen · 2024-04-11T15:23:22+00:00

This is probably the OG vision, the YouTube founders had. People self making and sharing videos among their friends.

Connect-Barber-2009 · 2024-04-11T13:51:40+00:00

This is the cutest thing I've seen all day! What a wonderful way for grandma to connect with her grandkids.

hedwig0517 · 2024-04-11T14:26:49+00:00

How sweet!

moon_slave · 2024-04-11T17:26:23+00:00

My grandma used to record books on tape for me, and sent the book(s) and the tape. Usually every couple of months. I remember she would ring a little bell every time she turned the page. I wore those tapes out! This was of course the 90s before YouTube haha.

Boring_Drink91 · 2024-04-11T15:36:01+00:00

Aren’t babies that young not supposed to look at screens?

SecondFun2906 · 2024-04-11T14:09:38+00:00

I love this so much.

PsychoBacon96 · 2024-04-11T14:36:57+00:00

YouTube channel please? I think she deserves a sub and like

ThiccAliyah · 2024-04-11T14:13:01+00:00

Singlehandedly made my day.

maxouiille · 2024-04-11T16:01:20+00:00

I'm sorry to be a killjoy but this is the worst way to bond. Your son is very young and screens before 3yo are very bad for development. There are many studies on that topic. Hope you'll find a solution for the sake of your child.

DrugzRockYou · 2024-04-11T14:42:46+00:00

A+ for Gramgram

Zenai10 · 2024-04-11T14:38:29+00:00

This is really cool. Why can't she call though?

beanburritoperson · 2024-04-11T17:59:43+00:00

What effects have video calls/etc have on small children’s interactions with relatives they meet in person later?

This is adorable but this just popped in my head 🤔

RobotNinja28 · 2024-04-11T18:22:19+00:00

This is weird to me. On the one hand, I understand the grandma wanting to be a part of her grandson's life and not be alienated from her family (like many other unfortunate cases), but on the other hand, I don't know how I feel about willingly and intentionally glueing your infant child to a screen...

mflowrites · 2024-04-11T15:47:50+00:00

Don’t hate on me … but it’s actually a breach of copyright to read entire picture books online.

crackymann · 2024-04-11T17:12:31+00:00

How do copyrights work for this? Could publishers technically come after her?

pra_com001 · 2024-04-11T17:57:37+00:00

Bad idea: kids at this age shouldn't be exposed to screens.

Fabulous_Cranberry61 · 2024-04-11T21:43:22+00:00

I love this! I was born pre-youtube and my dad was in the Army so we moved a lot. My grandparents taped themselves reading stories, singing lullabies, and just generally chatting about how much they loved my brother and I. It created some strong core memories even though we didn't get to see them often.

Sir-Hattivatti · 2024-04-11T16:11:31+00:00

Your kid is way too young to even distinguish anything at that distance. And too young too watch screen

Hot_Sauz · 2024-04-11T16:07:15+00:00

Cute, but you shouldn't allow babies to stare at screens at such a young age, it develops bad habits early in life.

throwmeawayalso111 · 2024-04-11T14:29:57+00:00

This is adorable lol

saucesecrete · 2024-04-11T14:32:23+00:00

That's so sweet but she could FaceTime 💀

you know, video calling exists...jfyk

xerxe09 · 2024-04-11T18:39:56+00:00

Cool but having a baby that young watching TV is not good. People put kids in front of TV to keep them quiet. This kid is bot seeing his/her grandma, its just being hipnotic by colors and movement, and will have problems in the future.

N7_Vegeta · 2024-04-11T18:50:28+00:00

Kid presses dislike button and unsub

entredeuxeaux · 2024-04-11T19:37:54+00:00

Cute, but I’ll be the asshole that will say this kids eyes don’t need to be exposed to screens this early. Sorry. Just a PSA

dngrrsn · 2024-04-11T19:39:38+00:00

Very irresponsible. Should never put your children on open internet

New_n0ureC · 2024-04-11T15:12:19+00:00

I’ll be the bad guy but screens for kids younger than 3 is very bad

Batphone21 · 2024-04-11T17:59:46+00:00

Way too young to be looking at a screen. Cute, but no, dont do this.

Bigpushbabeh · 2024-04-11T16:53:46+00:00

Assuming they are 2 months old give or take, they probably can’t see more than a metre away, let alone the tv screen lmfao

TheDivisionLine · 2024-04-11T15:23:01+00:00

That’s horrendous, you are actively destroying that kid’s brain.

ChupaphiAlpha00 · 2024-04-11T15:03:07+00:00

AAAAWWWWWWWWW. i wish my grandma made me a youtube channel before she passed away i really miss her right now

The_Nak · 2024-04-11T15:08:22+00:00

This is so awesome. When grandma is gone, she can still see and hear here whenever she wants. God I miss my mom

chochazel · 2024-04-11T15:22:00+00:00

All well and good until your channel blows up and you’ve inadvertently formed a grandmotherly bond with 47,000 babies.

Prestigious_Ad_8458 · 2024-04-11T15:41:55+00:00

Omg, this is the best thing I've ever seen. The cutest grandma ever!

kindarilwraja · 2024-04-11T15:57:56+00:00

Can a child that young focus on a screen that far away? Or is grandma just a sort of blur?

BPicks69 · 2024-04-11T15:58:53+00:00

Using the tools at your disposal in a wholesome way. Wish we had more people like this.

Not yet a mom, but can't wait to be a grandma like her

BishopGodDamnYou · 2024-04-11T20:04:18+00:00

This is just so thoughtful and loving. Great vid!

ajrobmusic · 2024-04-11T21:22:33+00:00

Aw, this reminds me of my own grandmother. When I was a kid, reading along with books on tape was all the rage, and she made a recording of herself reading “Harold and the Purple Crayon” for me. She’d say “twinkle twinkle” as my cue to turn the page. Grandparents are amazing. 🥰

mightylordredbeard · 2024-04-11T21:32:07+00:00

“Whaaaaaats going on grandchild!!! Grandma back with ANOTHER video and this time I’ll be reading GOODNIGHT MOON! Don’t forget to SMASH that like button, RING that bell, and SUBSCRIBE so you NEVER MISS a video and ALSO if you LIKE this video theeeen beeee suuuuure to check out my series on ROOM RELATED BED TIME STORIES!! Now let’s get to the reason you’re here and start this STOOORY!!! But first have you heard about NORD VPN!?”

n1k0ch4n · 2024-04-11T21:40:55+00:00

WHO recommandations is : no screens before 2 years... just sayin...

katimus_prime · 2024-04-11T22:35:26+00:00

My mom did the same for our daughter but not on YouTube, just recorded a bunch of videos reading stories. We've even extracted the audio and put them on a creative Tonie. It was the sweetest, most heartwarming thing!

Ok_University_6641 · 2024-04-12T00:17:35+00:00

Not only is she reading for her Grandson, but she is also immortalized in the videos and can read to other little kids worldwide. :)

AllKnighter5 · 2024-04-12T02:36:31+00:00

Yo hit us with that link! I’ll watch gma read to me.

What a fantastic idea. And those videos will be floating around and ready to revisit any time, wonderful!!

ThorGodOfReddit · 2024-04-11T14:32:21+00:00

That’s amazing! No matter what happens that baby will always have grandmas channel 😊

htid1984 · 2024-04-11T14:18:14+00:00

Damn I want her as my mum

GetRickRolledKid21 · 2024-04-11T14:21:49+00:00

How much views does she get?

laumiclove · 2024-04-11T14:29:38+00:00

This is absolutely beautiful!!

SwitchIsBestConsole · 2024-04-11T17:43:22+00:00

This is really sweet. But also, couldn't you guys do a more personal or private call? Maybe hop on zoom or do it on your phones? This IS cute tho

VapoursAndSpleen · 2024-04-11T17:44:01+00:00

I wonder how many other people found grandma’s channel and showed it to their children. She could become a cross between Mister Rogers and LaVar Burton.

Slow_Payment9082 · 2024-04-11T17:44:56+00:00

That is a great idea!

Kid will grow up afraid of scary movies after learning that things on TV can become real lol

hecklicious · 2024-04-11T14:47:30+00:00

So, instead she is force feeding him with screen time.

CyrilSn33r · 2024-04-11T14:20:26+00:00

It really is a cute idea but in my understanding baby's can't comprehend TV-pictures and it might even be harmful regarding to some medical sources.

Independent-Weird243 · 2024-04-11T19:16:15+00:00

It is really disturbing to see how few people are aware of how much this harms the baby's development. Seems to be not even 6 months old, totally fixated on the screen already. Ask yourself why so many children today have serious problems. Since so many people are so fixated on their screens, is it too much to ask to check the massive amounts of websites with parenting advice before you mess up your kids?

D161T4L-F4ll3N · 2024-04-11T14:39:49+00:00

This is the kind of YouTube content kids should be consuming. At least try and make it educational.

DharmaSeeker76 · 2024-04-11T15:21:57+00:00

What an awesome idea. I've only seen my granddaughter twice in the last year since she was born. Would love to establish a bond from a distance.

This is so sweet. I’m part of the /r/absenteegrandparents sub and if this wouldn’t possibly make people sad, I would repost. It’s so easy to be a part of your family’s life if you just try.

leavethisearth · 2024-04-11T16:18:46+00:00

You could get some speakers so the baby can hear their grandperson with their natural voice instead of the flat voice of the tv speakers.

anacat1000 · 2024-04-11T16:19:15+00:00

Awww, so sweet! Good idea, he will recognize her and her voice too, plus they’re memories saved digitally 😊
