Woman's Wild Discovery Watching Dad's Old Home Movies: 'For His Eyes Only'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman got more than she bargained for while looking back through her dad's home movies from when she was growing up in the 1990s. Few things bring families together quite like looking back through old photographs. A 2023 poll of 11,000 parents conducted by The Pulse Business on behalf of family photo journal app BackThen found 94 per cent of respondents said looking at their child's photos together as a family helped them to feel more connected to each other. In the same poll, 89 per cent of parents said they felt looking at family photos increased their child's sense of belonging. For families like Kelly Brouk's, looking back through home movies, recorded on her dad's old VHS camcorder, serves as an extension of this. Brouk and her two siblings enjoy few things more than "reminiscing over old memories." Kelly Brouk saw her mom and dad's relationship in a whole new light. Kelly Brouk saw her mom and dad's relationship in a whole new light. Instagram/motherknowswest_ "We have hours upon hours of home videos," Brouk told Newsweek. "My Dad was the quintessential 90s Dad—always with a Camcorder in tow. He captured SO many memories we still watch and laugh about to this day." But Brouk has been forced to reassess some of those memories now after discovering several clips among the hours of footage filmed, in which her dad is focusing his camera work on her mom and certain parts of her anatomy. "I had no clue he was also capturing footage meant for his eyes only... or so he thought," Brouk said. "The only reason I stumbled upon those clips is because I've been sorting through each tape to create compilations for each family member—Mom's turn being the most recent." While the focus of the coverage took her by surprise, Brouk has been able to assess it better as an adult than she likely would have if she had stumbled upon it growing up. "I likely would've been horrified if I happened upon that footage as a kid but now, especially as a wife and mom myself, thought it was hilarious and obviously had to share it with the world," she said. Brouk shared several clips to Instagram under the handle @motherknowswest_ where they quickly garnered attention, amassing more than 60,000 views since being posted at the end of May. "I think my parents might've cuddled more than three times," she captioned the clip. Brouk's mom and dad have had contrasting reactions to their viral fame. "When I told my Mom, she asked, 'How many people have seen my butt?!?' and my Dad just laughed, not at all ashamed of his actions," she said. Though Brouk posted the footage poking fun at the less than "wholesome" nature of what was being filmed, the reaction in some quarters has been heartwarming. "A lot of people have expressed they wish their own parents were that in love," she said. "I'm beyond blessed to have parents that have but laughed and prayed together, and also embarrassed each other, for 40 years this November!" So while it might have caught her by surprise to uncover evidence of her dad ogling her mom, she's all for it. "I recognize how rare longevity in relationships is these days and in some weird way, I'm very glad to have evidence of their love and lust forever," she said.

Senator Brouk to host 4th annual baby shower for new parents
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Senator Samra Brouk will be holding her fourth annual Community Baby Shower this Sunday. Senator Brouk said this event stemmed from her focus on maternal health and supporting young families, but also the personal connection she developed when she became a mother three years ago. The baby shower will feature many community organizations that help serve new parents and their children by providing information, resources, and supplies to families in the Greater Rochester Area. 'We have been collecting donations, we have been reaching out to our local labor organization, they've been donating food, drinks, diapers, wipes, formula,' Senator Brouk said. 'We also have a local daycare center that did their own clothing and wanted to donate some of that to this baby shower. So, we just got a great drop of clothes yesterday from one of our local daycare centers.' The community baby shower will be held this Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Thomas P. Ryan R-Center.
