Son rushes to his baby brother’s room, while his mom is asleep, the reason why is unexpected

gloria mcintosh from ohio has a full plate on her hands when she's not busy working as a writer she's taking care of her six children and even though she has a partner to lean on for support there are moments she wishes she had eyes in the back of her head to keep a close watch on her kids it's one of those many reasons why she decided to install a baby monitor in her youngest child's room but one night she saw her 10 year old son doing something to her baby that left her in tears when he thought that everyone else in the house was fast asleep for an only child the announcement of a new baby is a total nightmare they start to panic because they fear they'll no longer be their parents favorite anymore but these feelings subside eventually and they grow to love having a brother or sister to share their lives with most siblings grow out of the jealousy phase and start to develop a powerful bond with their brothers and sisters as the years go by but it's a long journey to get to that stage where all your kids love and trust each other until that happens some parents fear their oldest child might harm their newborn sibling out of jealousy and that's exactly what gloria macintosh feared gloria macintosh is a mother of six and has always strived to do her best to instill good values in her children she believes that what someone does when no one else is around says a lot about the individual's character and this is something she taught her kids as well sadly one of her kids didn't seem to share her core values macintosh and her partner knew that when you become a parent you have to be at your newborn baby's beck and call like any other newborn child 18 month old grayson often cried when he needed changing or when he was hungry but she really tired and needed a break so one night she didn't jump out of bed and go to his side little grayson was stirring in his crib restlessly he couldn't stop crying which was pretty normal for babies his age but the other people in the house were trying to sleep and his whaling was penetrating every wall which was truly getting on his brother mason's nerves ten-year-old mason had done his best to ignore his baby brother grayson's crying he had placed his pillow over his head he tried to sing a little tune to drown out the noises even counted sheep but nothing could muffle the sounds of grayson's constant whaling finally he decided that enough was enough mason didn't mind having another sibling in the house but he also needed to rest because he had classes the next morning and yet he knew he wasn't going to get any sleep unless he took care of the problem so he took matters into his own hands and got up to pay his baby brother a visit he pulled the sheets aside got up and stormed out of his room his mission was to find his brother and put an end to the ruckus he was making but he had no idea that he was being watched the entire time from the comfort of her bedroom mcintosh and her partner watched through a baby monitor as mason went into little grayson's room they initially feared the worst as sibling rivalry was common for kids mason's age but what he did was truly shocking they had installed a baby monitor in the room for the same reason most parents do they wanted to keep an eye on their kid without having to get up and physically walk to the nursery every five minutes it also served as a security deterrent in case someone broke into the house and tried to take the baby but was the danger already in their home shortly after mason flipped the light switch on he went straight to his brother's crib with intent whatever may happen he was going to make sure that his brother stopped crying that night and he had a plan to make this happen the fourth grader leaned into the crib and reached out to grab his baby brother at first macintosh thought that she should get in there and stop her 10 year old from hurting grayson but her maternal instincts told her to wait and see what mason did there were tears in mcintosh's eyes but they weren't from sadness on the screen she and her partner saw mason giving grayson a hug before lifting him out of his crib with his own two hands and things only got cuter from there mason kept grayson amused with a few of his favorite toys then he wiped his little nose and read to him for a little while once the baby was calm mason placed him back in his crib but it wasn't over now that grayson was calm mason could have simply turned off the lights and left but he couldn't because his little brother hadn't gone to sleep yet what was he going to do mason wasn't about to let his brother spend the night all alone so he climbed into the crib grabbed a blanket and kept him company but it didn't explain why he didn't just get his parents to do this mason considered waking his mother up but he suspected that she was sound asleep in her bed and he didn't want to bother her she'd been such an amazing mom and he knew she could use some rest this left him with only one choice which warmed his mother's heart i was smiling the whole time she told today parents he has a love for grayson that's unspeakable i can't even really explain it but she was concerned that mason might wind up sleep deprived as moving as it had been watching mason was so gentle with his little brother he was a child himself she knew that at some point the pressure might get to him and then he'd break macintosh continued to monitor her two sons through the baby monitor but soon her happiness turned to concern when she realized that grayson wasn't falling asleep her son needed a break too so she went to relieve him i asked him why didn't you just come and get me in the first place macintosh explained and he was like you had a big day and i just wanted you to get some rest mason's kindness overwhelmed her but she wasn't surprised taking care of people was mason's kind-hearted nature it's why he spent over 30 minutes watching over little grayson but he could have just as easily woken up very mad i'm sure mason was tired and cranky he was woken up at 3am mcintosh said but how you saw him treat his brother is how he is he steps up but how did netizens react when she uploaded the video on social media mcintosh posted the baby monitor footage on tick tock and the video went viral soon everyone had something to say one tick tock user wrote he's going to be a loving father and another user wrote i cried too much watching this omg macintosh considers herself quite blessed to have the family that she has not only is she happily married with six kids but she also has mason who's not only adorable but the best little helper a mother could hope for
