Yes, look back on as adults. I don't think it is the same as a child watching from very young, having that image in their head, possibly manifesting itself over years as how their parent felt about them.Personally, I think video evidence of his reaction would probably be something we’d look back at with laughter.
We had a neighbor child who kept insisting they used to be a dog. Over and over. We asked him why he thought he was a dog and he said he is in the family photo albums and he is a dog. Photos, videos etc are something kids really absorb. Well I was babysitting him and asked him to see the family photo albums where he was a dog. And sure enough Mom, Dad, older brother and a dog ... WITH THE SAME NAME AS HIM.
Sure enough the family had a dog named Markie before he was born and then they named him MARK. For YEARS growing up he thought he was a dog. We should never dismiss the power of photos, videos etc on kids sponge brains.
I think anyone who goes ahead and posts a video that clearly shows a disappointed parent .... well I'll just say it speaks loudly about them.
