Pregnancy is often described as a whirlwind of emotions, but for one mom-to-be, those emotions reached a whole new level during her gender reveal party. The joyous occasion turned into a dramatic scene that left her guests—and the internet—in disbelief.
For many parents, finding out their baby’s gender is a special moment. Some wait until the birth, while others celebrate early with a gender reveal party. But this particular mom wasn’t in the mood to celebrate when she discovered she was having yet another girl.

Captured in a now-viral TikTok video, the mom’s reaction to the news was anything but cheerful. Instead of smiles and cheers, she flipped tables, tore down decorations, and stormed off in frustration. Pink and blue balloons were left scattered on the floor, while shocked guests murmured, “Oh, she’s really mad! It’s okay,” trying to soothe the awkward atmosphere.
One voice behind the camera summed up what everyone was thinking: “I didn’t think she was for real… Oh s***.” The chaos unfolded as guests looked on, unsure whether to laugh, comfort her, or quietly leave.
The TikTok video, captioned, “POV: When you destroy your own gender reveal because you didn’t want another girl,” quickly racked up over 1.1 million views and nearly 18,000 comments. Viewers were divided, with some criticizing her reaction and others empathizing with her disappointment.
One user joked, “Not ‘awww’… It’s me taking my gift back and leaving,” while another added, “That’s wild.” Others were less amused, calling out her behavior as disrespectful to the effort her family and friends put into the celebration.
“This is so ungrateful,” one commenter wrote. “That baby is going to see this someday and wonder if she was ever wanted.”
Many echoed the sentiment, emphasizing that the health of the baby should be the priority. “A healthy baby is what’s important,” one said. “This just hurts feelings—so awkward.” Another added, “I feel bad for the new baby and for the girls she already has. They’ll never forget this moment.”
Not everyone was harsh, though. Some shared their own stories of gender disappointment. “I acted a fool as well. It’s okay, sis,” one mom admitted. Another sympathized, saying, “I feel that pain. I had six girls and never got a boy.”
Whatever your stance on gender reveals, it’s safe to say this one will go down in history—for all the wrong reasons. As one viewer quipped, “Something tells me these photos won’t be going in the baby book.”
