TikToker @_madisonkenda_ excitedly filmed her setup for surprising her husband with the news that she's pregnant with their second child—but his underwhelmed and slightly disappointed reaction has viewers of the video crying foul.

It's no secret that having a baby will completely change a person's life, and planning for the extra responsibilities, financial costs and more can be a lot for a person to process.

But it's still nice when your partner can match your energy when you tell them that you're expecting.


Having just celebrated her son's first birthday, TikToker Madi Kenda was surprised to discover that she might be pregnant. Over the course of several videos, she took different quick-response pregnancy tests, and when they all came back positive, she started planning how to tell her husband.

In one video, the TikToker showed herself packing up a surprise box, including a baby bunny stuffed animal and the pregnancy tests, among other baby goodies, and she also made a sign announcing the new arrival and dressed her son in a blue onesie that read "Big Brother."

But the video that divided the internet came next, opening with the mom and son waiting for the TikToker's husband to arrive home from work.

When her husband arrives, he is excited to see there is a gift waiting for him, only to immediately walk away when he sees what is inside.

Off camera, he says:

"Aww, man, really? ...Okay."

He paces back into frame a few times before finally approaching his wife and giving her a one-armed hug and asking her if she is excited. When she says that she is, he says that it's great and kisses her on top of the head.

Others agreed and felt it was a bad sign for the relationship as a whole.

However, some pointed out that this was a valid reaction, and supported the couple in working through it together.

Having a baby is a big change for anyone, and it's reasonable that they would experience stress, excitement, and the whole emotional rainbow while planning for the baby's arrival.

But it also makes total sense why the internet was so divided over the dad's reaction. While he clearly needed processing time, some perceived his reaction as cold and unhappy, which would be alarming for anyone hoping to have a baby.

It's one of those situations where we really can't know someone and what they're thinking, especially from a short video.

Vivian Wilson Drags Dad Elon Musk For Claiming Protesters Are Being Paid By Democrats

After billionaire Elon Musk erroneously claimed that massive anti-Trump administration protests around the country have been full of "paid protesters," his estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, underscored the extent of his hypocrisy in a post on Threads.

Millions of people participated in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Saturday, with demonstrations held across all 50 states and around the world. The protests, organized by a pro-democracy movement, were a response to what they describe as a "hostile takeover" and an attack on American rights and freedoms.

Musk Slammed For Criticizing 'Suicidal Empathy' Of SCOTUS Justices Who Ruled In Favor Of Due Process

Once again borrowing from the language of the toxic, insecure, red pill/blue pill, alpha male, incel subcultures that gave rise to public figures like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, Elon Musk attacked the women of the United States Supreme Court for following the rule of law and the United States Constitution instead of showing fealty to Republican President Donald Trump.

In a 4-5 dissent, only the women of SCOTUS decided the core of our justice system—due process—can stop the kinds of mistakes Trump's Department of Homeland Security is making routinely, like ICE abducting and deporting innocent people with visa or green cards to a hellish prison in El Salvador.
