The internet is divided over a mom’s reaction to her daughter’s pregnancy reveal. TikTok has made the video viral.
The typical reaction to a pregnancy reveal is emotional. But a mom from Thailand thought differently after she found out her daughter was pregnant.
@jackkiechann89 shared a now-viral clip of her parents’ reactions to her pregnancy news. It was posted after the expectant woman sent a scratchcard that revealed the massage.
The video focused on the dad scratching the card while the mom sat beside him with a straight face. The father was over the moon as he read the words:
“You’re going to be a nanny and grandad again.”
However, the mom’s face remained the same throughout the clip, even when the father gave a thumbs-up reaction at the camera and commended his daughter for getting pregnant again.

In addition, when the proud father asked if his wife was happy, she bluntly and awkwardlyreplied, “no,” still without batting an eye at the camera.
As you can see, the Alzheimer’s dad was moved by his daughter’s happiness and cried.
In the comments section, Jackkie explained that she understood her mom’s reaction because of her parents’ present circumstances during the pandemic.
Currently, they are both stuck in Thailand amidst the lockdown and cannot see their grandchildren. Her mom is particularly upset as she longs to see her grandson.
Many TikTok users weren’t happy with her mom’s explanation. One person shared their sentiments in the comments section:
“This is awful:( I’d be devastated if my mum reacted in that way. Bless your dad though sweetheart .”
