Parents were criticized online for their reaction to discovering the sex of their baby

A video showing a young couple in Gomersal, United Kingdomcarrying out the gender reveal of his future daughter became a trend on social networks, due to its surprising reaction. The dynamic of the reveal, which involved a spray paint gun, ended up being an unforgettable experience, but not precisely for the reasons they expected.

In the video, the father takes the gun and shoots against a black background wall, where the color that would reveal the sex of the baby would be projected. If the paint was blue, it would be a boy, while if it was pink, it would be confirmed to be a girl. However, when the pink paint began to flow from the device, the parents could not hide their “uncomfortable” reaction.

The mother, with a grimace on her face, he crossed his armswhile the father, apparently embarrassed, continued painting the wall without interruption. This peculiar response did not go unnoticed by social media users, who flooded the video with an avalanche of critical comments and surprised by the unexpected reaction of the future parents.

“I was once told that I had kidney stones and I had the same reaction,” “He hasn’t stopped painting in case the blue came out at the end” and “That’s the same emotion when my mother-in-law arrives” are some of the messages from users in the publication, which has more than 23 million views.

Aidan Payne, the father who is the protagonist of the video, came out in defense of his partner and himself after being the subject of massive rejection on the networks. In a recent interview, Payne shared that they are going through a difficult and painful time due to the criticism that overshadowed the excitement of expecting his daughter.

Furthermore, the man explained that, although they are happy about the news that they will have a girl, their reaction was largely due to a lack of confidence to express their true feelings at that moment. Likewise, he revealed that his partner already has two daughterswhich made the news of a third girl “peculiar.”
