Breaking news: Accidents happen. Film at 11.

Is anyone casting blame here? Why does anyone feel sorry for anyone in this story? Now, if the dad had been fired or is never asked on the program again because of this, yeah, I will feel sorry for both the mom and the dad. But given the worldwide love of this clip, that seems pretty doubtful. BBC will have this guy on at every possibility, and the guy in the studio will inquire after the family.

No need to feel sorry for anyone. It's okay.

That would be my worst nightmare. I feel sorry for the mom. Why couldn't he have just locked the door?! Really this was his fault.

What kind of lives do you people lead? He laughed at least once, and at the end just looked like he was trying to hold it together.

This video isn't what makes me sad/concerned. What makes me sad/concerned is that so many viewers apparently are being beaten by their partners that they assume everyone does it.

WTF?

It's precisely his reaction of pushing the kid away coupled with the mom's fearful reaction that is making people wonder if he is abusive or at least a yeller. That doesn't mean we ourselves are abuse victims...it just means the video makes you wonder about him based on his own actions along with his wife's. Geez.

Oh, please. This happens to me all the time except luckily for me, I'm not on camera but usually leading a conference call or talking to my boss. I can only imagine the anger on my face when I'm shoving my kids out the door!

When this happens at my house, I speak normally into the phone while doing the crazy-lady-losing-her-shit-angry pantomime. LOL. Luckily, I too am only on audio, not video.

I immediately thought it was the mother - and I think it's an interesting social experiment to see who thinks its the nanny.

I thought at first it was a nanny b/c:
(A) He's filming from Korea, and it seems to be during the work day;
(B) The use of the walker (thought those were a no-no -- would a mom use?);
(C) When she rushed in, she acted like it was her JOB to get them away, like she was scared that she was failing at her job.

The little girl looks half Asian; I just didn't think the Korean woman on t.v. was her mom.

Holy cow. When my partner is on a business call or meeting for work from home and I am watching our children, it is definitely my JOB to keep them out of the way, and yes if I fail at that, I might be a little crazy and fearful that I have somehow compromised my partner's job (which we rely upon, hello, for our living).

And vice versa, when I'm on a business call and my partner is watching our children.

His mom's "fearful" reaction is her saying, "oh no! My partner is speaking ON THE BBC and our kids are crashing the party!!!"

My DH is the most easy-going guy in the world, and I would go apeshit if our kids interrupted him while he was speaking on national television.

And if I were speaking on national television, I too would try to push my kid out of the frame. My goodness, did he shove her aside? Smack her? no, he used his arm to move her back with no harm to the child whatsoever.

You people are crazy, seriously.

I had the same thought

I think he was just trying to say no without looking away from the camera. The poor guy. I think he is just totally embarrassed. Like others here I am surprised how many people think of abuse. What would you do if you were being interviewed on live TV? There aren't really good options! Should he have stopped the interview to talk to the child?

It seems like he did the best he could.

I think most parents can relate to it.

The baby rolling in cracked me up. So typical of that age.

He's an expert on South Korea. Why on earth is anyone surprised that his wife is Korean???

This. That video warmed the hearts of so many of us who've struggled with raising children and were delighted to see this pretty typical young family in a moment that was no doubt embarrassing in the extreme at the moment but will be the stuff of generational storytelling in the many years go come.

The mom's mannerisms are very "Korean."
