The “you’re not my mom” challenge is coming to TikTok, showing an exciting dynamic in their relationship. However, the move has left users with varied responses, rating the application highly.
The TikTok trend ‘you’re not my mom’ is still active on the app; women make slideshows or videos with their boyfriends or husbands that show an amusing perspective of the couple’s relationship.
As a trend, it has caused laughter and controversy, as some people find it normal and funny in a relationship, while others find it a negative aspect that can spoil a relationship.
‘You’re not my mom’ TikTok trend
However, in this trend, women perform TikTok slideshows showing how they found themselves mothering their boyfriends, fiancés, or husbands. The first picture typically shows the woman with her partner along with the line, ‘You’re not my mom.’
This phrase describes how the man responds to the dictates, suggesting that he does not want to be dictated to or managed. However, the rest of the slides are far from that promising picture. They provide picturesque quotes from the men that reveal how their dependency on their companions for jobs and choices negates their assertion.
The women in this trend indicate several scenarios in which their partners treat them like mothers.
For example, one day, I came across a video where a TikToker revealed her partner for constantly questioning her about what outfit they should wear and what they would eat and looking for her to care for him when he was sick.
People have reacted to this craze ranging from laughing out loud to relating to the characters’ lifestyles. However, many have reported that their relationships have collapsed because, in this scheme, women are assigned the role of organizing their partners’ lives.
Even people have gone to the extent of creating videos directing on this viral trend. In one clip with over 434,000 views, content creator itssuzannelambertabeling said: “This sh*t is so bleak… the fact that you think it’s cute that you have a mother-son relationship significant other… it’s so gross.”
