apparently the internets divcided about this story
Some say it sounds like grandma has the kids a lot and others say she should have let them have their moment and said her opinion on a latter day …
What thinks the teeming millions?
The grandmother is completely entitled to her opinion, though she could probably have expressed it a bit more gently.
As this is just a snapshot if the entirety of their history I’m not going to posit whether she was justified or not.
But I am sure that all of us know, or know of, parents that have had too many children even if that number is one.
I think the Internet being all abuzz about a context-less TikTok is a sign of everyone involved “having too much free time”.
Why lie and make believe that it is a good thing for what appears to be a lousy mother to give birth to yet another child?
I’d have done the same. And will, should my own offspring continue to spawn.
That’s the voice of a woman hoping to enjoy her retirement, and her child keeps “dropping off the kids for just a minute!”, and comes back six hours later.
Sometimes, those people need to be told the truth.
I’ll give you guys three guesses…nah, y’all are smart, I’ll give you one guess what my son just told me. 
I’m … having some skepticism here as to how “real” this video is, but assuming it’s real, yeah, I’d probably shut the f up, say my congrats, and go no further than that. Not my business, not my place to judge. If they’re constantly dumping their spawn off at grandma’s house, grandma can draw boundaries.
And just how in the heck do you know she’s “a lousy mother” based on that video? Nothing of that sort “appeared” to me.
My comment reflects how I feel in general and is not connected to this one particular case. It stems from my experiences in education when I discovered that good, responsible parents are a true blessing and lousy parents the bane of the teaching profession.
My comment also stems from the fact that it has become politically incorrect to call out bad parenting. They are the ignored elephant in the room so to speak. This is very evident in education where we do a plethora of different things to serve kids but are always at fault when they don’t succeed, even if that cause is poor parenting. It’s basically forbidden to verbalize it in any way and is only something that educators talk about quietly among themselves.
One last story. About a year ago, there was a big deal in the news about a 13 year old who was shot at 2:30 in the morning in the street. He was with older “bangers” who were familiarizing him with a semi automatic hand gun when the police suddenly arrived on the scene. The seasoned “bangers” were off and running before the police car stopped, but the young, inexperienced 13-year old froze with the gun in his hand. He then turned and began to run away. When a cop screamed to him to halt and drop the gun, he spun around and released the gun as he was raising his hands in the air. In the dark, the cop couldn’t see the gun fall so, thinking the kid was raising the gun to fire, he shot and killed the wanna-be “banger”.
Oh, the outrage! However, with all the discussion about the police and the poor “child”, not one … not ONE … comment was made about the parents who evidently found no problem with their 13-year old being out on the street at 2:30 am. Instead, they appeared on TV as the poor, bereaved, loving parents who, of course will probably end up with a settlement due to the death of their “child”. I guess, on occasion, it can actually pay to totally suck.
That incident happened in the neighborhood directly north of me, so I know of it well. (I mean, the whole city knows of it.) Plenty of comments were made on social media and face-to-face about that child’s parenting. I don’t know their circumstances, so placing the blame squarely on the parents doesn’t sit right with me. Sometime you try your best , but you can’t police your kid 24-7. Anyhow, that’s all I will say. This is a sidetrack.
Assuming it’s real, Grandma is entitled to have whatever opinion she has. But you know what- I’ve had a lot of opinions that I didn’t express. There are two main reasons why I didn’t express them and both apply here
-
What’s done is done - what’s going to change because grandma expressed this opinion? Does she imagine that the couple who seem happy about this pregnancy are going to go the adoption/abortion route because of her reaction? They are not.
-
I get to have opinions- and other people get to have feelings about what I say. Even if those feelings lead them to actions I won’t be happy about. So before I express opinions, I think about whether it will be worth the repercussions. I’m not at all sure that sharing an opinion which will not change anything would be worth any repercussions at all.
Me too.
I say it’s pretty messed up that they posted this video for the world to see.
Mazel tov!
Toda. 
Ditto. Gramma didn’t know she was being recorded; didn’t know it would spread worldwide. I have no problem with Gramma being disappointed, especially if she thinks they’re bad parents. I’m certain that she’s voiced her displeasure before this, so I’m surprised that Mom thought she’d be happy, and even more surprised that Mom wanted to video the announcement.
Assuming this is real.
My response is the third time my kid does that with her kids I deliver the kids to CPS and wash my hands of the matter. CPS can handle reeducating or de-childing Mom. I’m not a pro at that; they are.
