Mom and dads very different reactions to the daughter's pregnancy are viral

A family has become viral after her daughter announced that you would expect her first child, and her parents shared her excitement in two very different ways.

Kassidy Richardson and her husband Jake are favorites from childhood, who have been together for 14 years since their time, and after getting married in 2022, the couple 26 are preparing to welcome their first child.

Richardson decided to surprise her parents with the news by giving her father what he gave for a late birthday present for a sonogram: a sonogram that shows her unborn child.

“We wanted to wait until we had the first sonogram because it didn't feel real for me and my husband until we saw the baby with our own eyes,” said Richardson to Newsweek. “So we kept it secret until we got this sonogram before we told friends and family.”

Richardson recorded the moment she gave her father the sonogram hidden in a box, and divided it into her Tikok account @Klwack on February 20.

“We told my father that we had a late birthday present for him,” she wrote about the video. “He almost passed out.”

In the video, her father Brian Wackerly first says: “Please tell me that it is not a puppy”, and as Richardson assures him, he opens the box and stares, does not make a sound, but takes a shaky step back.

He then goes away and still has to sit down, still not a word how Richardson's mother Kiley wants what is in the box.

And while Brian had a calm, stunned reaction, Kiley immediately screams from excitement, jumps up and down and cheers when she runs directly to hug her daughter.

The parents of Kassidy Richardson had very different reactions to the news they were about to become grandparents.

“Oh my god, this is my grandfather,” cheers Kiley. And when the shock subsides, Brian grins, stands and hugs his daughter in a hug.

“My parents definitely reacted exactly as I expected them,” said Richardson Newsweek. “With this first grandchild I knew that they would be so excited. They only show excitement in a completely different way!

“I knew that my father would need a minute to process his excitement. He is a man with a few words – he is a very sensitive man with a hard appearance. I cannot believe that he almost got out and had to sit down!

“My mother, I knew she would be overjoyed,” added Richardson. “She always has much larger reactions, she definitely made the moment higher energy.

“Both are so excited to become grandparents and they are already spoiling our son.”

People choose different times to share pregnancy messages with friends and family. Some wait until the end of the first trimester, others after the first midwife date and others, like the Richardsons, to an ultrasound image.

Tikok user liked the video that has collected over 1.4 million likes when a commentator joked: “Someone check for dad!”

“AWWW Time runs so quickly for Papa,” wrote another, as one suggested: “Her entire childhood flashed in front of his eyes and he noticed how much time really passed.”

“As a mother of 3 toddlers, he only had flashbacks from you, who was a little girl and only took a moment to process,” said another.

Others were in stitches in Kiley's reaction, many meadows on their first questions: “Is it yours?!” When you laughed: “As if you were to send the message for someone else LOL!”

“Your first reaction is the question of whether I notice it,” said one other than one joked: “No mother, I actually disagree my colleagues pregnancy!”

Richardson told Newsweek: “We were so excited to tell them, we knew that they would be so happy for us. It is so nice to have a positive support team in this new period of our lives.”

However, she admitted that she “had no idea that the video would get a big reaction online”, and just thought that she would share it after separating pregnancy announcements on Tiktok and found that she had never posted her own.

“We got so much love and positivity from everyone online. It was fun to read the thoughts and good wishes of everyone! We feel very loved.”
