[@walnut_raisin2621]

I do feel an unhealthy dynamic is happening between Peyton and her siblings sadly. It was really hard to watch as someone who grew up with an abusive older sibling, especially since that person, unintentionally, put me in situations that made my childhood way harder. I hope the parents notice how Peyton's behavior isn't just "sassiness" and could be genuine bullying, even if it's meant as a coping mechanism. I'm so happy she feels confident in herself but it hurts to see other kids not have the same confidence around her. I don't know if it stems from Peyton, previous situations the family went through, or a number of other factors. But you don't have such a strong vibe of discomfort between siblings without something going on

[@YouKnowWhereYouWentWrong]

I get this gut wrenching feeling that Peyton's older sister and brother shown here really don't like her, they feel somehow lesser than, especially the brother who says he takes his anger he feels towards his sister onto the football field. And the older sister, her eyes - the way she looks at Peyton. There is a LOT of anger and resentment there. It's sad to see. I hope they grow and at some point become not just "Peyton's older sibling" and try to find themselves. It will take time.

Please don't criticize the siblings or ask of them to be nicer or more patient. You know that the mom had to prioritize Payton a lot before the others and herself, so they often got the short end of the stick. They stick up for her when she gets bullied. They had to grow up real fast. And it's probably hard to create healthy boundaries with a disabled sibling. Lots of love to them in particular.

[@Nan-Elle]

You know, sign language isn't hard to pick up when you have a family member who needs to sign. I'm sure the siblings could have gone to a regular hearing school. Why make them attend a school for deaf students? The mother said they moved to a community where most of the people were deaf. They would have picked it up on their own, for sure. It's like, well, one of you has disabilities, so you will all be in the same boat, without a choice. And, also, I believe signing is a great skill to have for communication. But I wouldn't put my hearing kids into a deaf school because of one sibling. That seems odd.

The siblings seem to be going through a rough patch and didn't have a lot of positive things to say about Peyton and Peyton seems oblivious to their frustrations and feelings. Their non-verbals screamed "oh great, another conversation about Peyton". While I'm sure it's difficult, I hope mom and dad are balancing the needs of the siblings as well.

Peyton is the center of this family. U can tell her needs come first. Just like them moving. I’m not trying to be mean, it’s just what I’m seeing. The siblings love & and have her back in public, but at home Peyton isn’t just sassy. She’s a bully. It’s a fine line between the 2 things. Peyton may be doing this as her way of control. She might be jealous bc she isn’t the “normal”. She was adorable when she was younger. Not saying she isn’t now, I just don’t like the way she is with her siblings.

[@anniegillespie7935]

I learned with my first child that things people do when their babies are not cute when they grow up. Peyton is out of control and mean I think the parents are very negligent of their other children and that's not right. This keeps up they're going to resent her and be gone

[@julievanderleest]

With all do respect to Peyton, I was thinking that too. However, I think that there’s more to the story and we are only seeing a small glimpse of the whole picture. She is a young teenager and we all remember that awkward time in our lives. However, she also has a disability and a very rare syndrome of some sort and has had to put up with people treating her differently or staring at her, making faces, etc… When you grow up with that, you can put on this tough shell, so to speak. Peyton takes no BS and she seems to be quite outspoken about it. Teasing her brother and sisters may be a coping mechanism for her, especially when she is teased by others. I have some understanding of what Peyton has gone through. I have a very rare syndrome myself and I’m hard of hearing. There were bullies and a ton of low self esteem that I still struggle with today and I’m 38 years old. However, I never thought about being mean to others, especially my family. Sure we teased each other like most siblings do but to purposely tease them until they were angry or practically in tears, no, to me that crosses the line. But at the same time I can see where Peyton is coming from. However, she needs to be taught better ways to cope with her disability.

[@jaimiehex9420]

Seems like they walk on glass with her and did not pay much attention to their other kids. All of them have severe lisps, that is an speech impediment.

[@happybergner9832]

Her siblings look like they want to cry.

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

I feel like this family would benefit from seeing a therapist if they aren't already. All of them individually, but then together as a family. I see a lot of frustration from the siblings and Peyton is seeking connection with them but with the wrong ways/attitude and isn't very concious of how they are feeling or maybe in general. She is a tough girl. But perhaps overly so and that might hold her back in ways, especially emotionally and with getting closer to others. I am not trying to be judgmental, just being observant. And I also could of course be totally off about it. I'm not in their family, nor have I spent time with them, so none of what I'm saying is with ill intentions! I see a lonely and angry girl and siblings who are exhausted and over their sister running the household and being the center. They seem to put up with her "sassiness" and I think the word sassy is an excuse and dismissal for/of her behavior/feelings and absolutely not a "personality trait" or "just who she is". Sorry, but I had to be honest with my opinion. I think she loves her family and I believe her family loves her, I just think it would help them all with handling treir emotions and communicating them more often and honestly and feeling seen and heard equally. I think they are a great family and have done a great job, I just also think having a great psychologist is helpful for anybody and everybody! I think Peyton is one very strong young girl!

[@willshedo]

I noticed everyone in the family shown crosses their arms in front of them. That's generally a sign of distancing yourself. Peyton does it too. The siblings look as if they don't enjoy what's going on. Perhaps because a special needs kid necessarily gets the most attention in the family. Idk what's behind it, but there's definitely difficulties there.

[@Halatheone]

Watching the video was hard, you can feel the tension in the family. I think it’s good that Chris showed this side of having a family member with a disability/ disorder/ a sort of diagnoses. A lot of families go though this phase before reaching balance. I can only imagine how hard it’s for her siblings to go to deaf school…I feel that they hold a lot of resentment towards her probably for lots of reasons. I really hope they get the proper help so each family member can get their deserved place in the family.

[@rauldouglas5346]

@Lucile She refers to brothers who study in an exclusive school for the deaf and who also need to develop their social skills, which are different from their sister, so they should not be deprived of developing their social skills to express themselves through speech. It must be hard to be deprived of the conversation and have the speech stifled.

[@margowakefield3295]

@lucile4650 Still, there is nothing wrong with some professional counseling now and then in order to keep those healthy family dynamics strong and sustainable. Afterall, this family will continue to have ongoing challenges. It's good to have help going thru challenges.

[@aqua6613]

I feel due to her condition she seems spoiled. I wouldn't put up with her teasing her sister the way she does and making her mad just for fun and she thinks it's funny. You could see the frustration in their faces. I wouldn't tolerate that behavior from any kid, disabled or not. I'd take her stuff infront of her and then tease her and make her mad and see how she likes that. That's not a healthy way to seek attention.

[@margowakefield3295]

@@aqua6613 That's why it's good for them to have family counseling along the way to help Peyton's family to cope with the changes Peyton will go thru along the way and especially to guide Peyton to better, healthier ways to communicate her feelings, and to be a responsible family member who can give back by being loving and supportive without loosing her sense of humor which comes to her naturally. A family social worker can help her find that happy balance.

As someone who grew up with a disabled brother who was repeatedly allowed to ostracize and bully me, I am absolutely shocked that no one realizes the toll this is having on the siblings. If I even tried to stand up for myself I would get punished, reassured of how bad of a person I was, and labeled a troublemaker. It got to the point where I stayed in my room and read books for years of my life, as that was my only peace and escape. I grew to resent my brother and my parents, and as a grown adult I still do. Shame on the parents for not doing something about this, and shame on all of you that are enabling this girls behavior.

@Snippet X Yes. . . when Chris asked "How do you feel when she makes you mad and then laughs?" Brock said, "I just walk away" -- but with an undertone of sadness and resentment that may keep him (and the other siblings) away when they're all adults and don't HAVE to spend time with her. I know teens fight as siblings, I certainly did too; but if the parents prioritize one teen over the others, that's going to cause resentment when they're adults, which won't help any of them, least of all Peyton, who seems to be allowed to bully the others with impunity. Of course, this is just one video, I don't know any of them personally, and I'm adopted, which is a whole nother thing too. However, I'm forever grateful my parents never prioritized one child over another, even though I've had medical issues since I was born. I don't think we'd be as close, as a family, if my parents had encouraged me to use "sassiness" to bully everyone else in the family merely because I was born with a harder physical reality.

[@mickeybee]

It's impossible to ignore the real exhaustion evident in the siblings. Being sent to a deaf school when you have no hearing issues, while in some ways a lovely thing to do for Peyton, will possibly be a potential cause of resentment for the siblings. You do get a sense that they're tired of all the focus being on Peyton - even extending to her seemingly getting away with bad behaviour, or 'sassiness'. It's really tough to balance the needs of all three children, and clearly they're doing an incredible job. But I can't help feeling like some therapy could be useful for the siblings and certainly could help ensure they remain close as they grow up. Not judging the family at all - just an observation.

[@itstoogooditswaytoogood3211]

Yea group therapy is absolutely necessary in this situation, I hope they're all getting it. But if you have deaf siblings you simply all have to learn sign language period. Luck of the draw. I agree with the mom about full communication in a family being necessary. However "full communication" doesn't just mean that can literally all communicate, it also means they can understand and express their true feelings toward one another... otherwise the "full communication" idea is pointless. And that requires therapy.

[@qwandary]

Yeah I felt bad for the brother and little sister kinda sitting awkwardly while talking about being bullied even though they stand up for her when it's needed. She sounds like she might calm down when she's not a teen but it's still evident she's the queen of the house and I feel a bit bad for her siblings.

As a sister to someone who is special needs, it would have made a world of difference if my mom had not prioritized my sibling so high above me. I can tell clear as day that's happening here with Peyton's siblings and it is on the parents to find that balance. Its so hard living with a disability but frankly the issue of being the "other kid" is one we rarely talk about. The frustration on her siblings faces shot me right back to my childhood. Its traumatizing honestly... Its like "oh well your normal, you don't have to struggle with the disability so you don't need extra attention" when in reality you need just as much love an attention as any other child. I know its not easy being a parent to a special needs child, but it is part of the burden you accept when you become a parent. Learning how to balance all your children's needs is paramount and it doesn't look like this family is doing well in that regard at this point. I really hope that changes.

Chris, I have to thank you for inspiring me to become a geneticist around 5-6 years ago. Today I am working with doctors in the department of children's neurology and rare diseases, trying to do my best to figure out the genetic causes behind different kinds of inherited conditions that these kids have. I don't see the children myself, since I only work with their genetic data, but your show lets me see a lot of the same conditions I work with every day and it reminds me that every one of those case numbers has a story and a name behind them. And I'm doing all I can to make both their life and their families lives easier. Thank you, Chris and SBSK.

I absolutely love that. I wanted to become a genetic counselor (my daughter has Down syndrome) and I am just very inspired and intrigued by all of these genetic variances...ie genetic diversity.

I think Peyton needs to be kinder to her siblings. It seems like she’s allowed to treat them any way she wants and they are forced to endure it. Just because one child has special needs doesn’t mean the others should be targets of her bullying and her making them targets of social ostracism because of her overly-demonstrative “sass” as she puts it. I was subject to this kind of treatment by a special needs sibling and it’s not okay. They all carry a profound sense of defeat and it’s apparent.

We can hope that the family might’ve seen these comments and are making adjustments and maybe Peyton is maturing and realizing there’s a really fine line between sass and straight up rudeness, and maybe there can be new norms and expectations put into place for how the siblings treat each other.

As people say in the comments we don't really know if she makes any effort to give as much attention to the siblings as they do with Peyton. Really interesting interview non the less

[@lornocford6482]

I think that these types of film makers can't go in telling people that they have a dysfunctional family and asking about their parenting and asking children how they really feel. They spend time with the people and film a lot then edit it to show people who can see it. All the clues are there. The mother was there when the children where talking about their relationship. It was the mother who told of Peyton's manipulation. We see Peyton's joy about upsetting her siblings and her view that she's top in the family. The makers could have manipulated the film, but it's not really that type of channel. They're more likely to have manipulated it to make them look better than worse. Their viewers like the stories of overcoming adversity. Many wouldn't want to watch about people like these ones.

[@Tigglytoot]

I don’t understand that. If you don’t learn sign language and you have a deaf child you create a language barrier. I would want to be able to communicate with my child in the most effective way. I think not learning sign language would be a huge disadvantage for the child and family since that is the child’s MAIN source of communication.

I am also really interested about how they even have a relationship with your child without learning it...

It breaks my heart when the mom said "were use to it" us as a society shouldn't be so judgemental and cruel. Nobody should have to get use to being bullied, picked on, or judged. Humanity is lost thats for sure. What a beautiful family

What kind of question is that 😂😂😂. Does having a sister like Payton make you a better football player 💀💀🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ 2:24

Lol. Yeah.

Yeah, i hit the ball a lot harder. The anger in me really helps me to be competitive.

Something so affirming about Peyton's laughter. For starters it's a really sweet laugh, but also, I love that someone who's never even heard laughter still laughs so clearly and purely. Like how blind people smile without ever seeing smiles. It's just beautiful to know that these things aren't taught but are a part of human nature.

[@soso-mx8nb]

I love your comment.

[@marlonmarquez4798]

blind people usually have touched smiles of other people, and have touched their own face. they also can hear when someone is happy or not, and thus learn that you smile when you are happy. cool how people can learn similar behaviours in vastly different ways.

She’s not sweet she bullies her siblings knowing that she’ll get away with it because of her disability

@@v1a7Why have you trolled so many comments? You are quite bullying.

It was so nice to see an update with Peyton! I love that you try keeping in touch with people. I'd love to see what's going on in her life in a few more years like when she graduates. She's at a tough age right now and it will probably get harder before it gets better. Ugh, I remember 14...The next few years were extremely difficult for me. And the world is a crazy place right now! My heart goes out to all the kids growing up in this complicated mess of a world, and all the parents trying to do the best they can.

Her brother looked sooooooo fed up man she needs to chill

What a great group of siblings! Peyton is so funny haha she deserves to be the top of the sass in her family

[@mariahjane7969]

I had problems when i was young and the sass was strong. I understand she's protecting a very tender heart. She's lucky to have such a wonderful family that's rare in today's world.

[@joyk3694]

I'm so glad you revisited Peyton. :) It's great to see her living her best life as a teenager.

That interpreter is amazing! I have heard so many robotic interpretations of ASL, but she was perfect for this girl!

[@rumham7466]

Right. She knows her well! I believe that’s her mother.

[@Asiaisastar]

Her siblings look kinda beat up.. Even though she has a diagnosis it's still kinda sad to hear that she teases her siblings I mean lots do, but in this case her siblings don't like it. She's definitely the favorite child.. :(((( and the mom is a great interpreter
