In the four-minute longvideo, translated to English, she explained that although she didn’t see herself as particularly “pretty,” she wasn’t “ugly” either and had high hopes for how her child would look.
“I said, ‘he’s going to be pretty, at least he’s going to be white.’ My mom has green eyes, and my aunts too. I have cousins who are also white and have light eyes, so I had high expectations,” she said.
Safe to say, those expectations were not met.
“When I saw that my child was born with tanned skin, a big nose, and was small and skinny, I didn’t say anything but inside I was sad and discouraged.
“He doesn’t look like me,” she claimed.

Nebrazkha knew that the most important factor was her child’s health and that all children are beautiful in their own ways, but if she was being frank, she needed to accept the reality: “My son was really ugly.”
Out of desperation, she turned to the possibility of DNA testing, believing her partner would agree with this decision.
“Thank God he was born healthy, but the ugly can’t be taken away and at that moment, I didn’t understand,” she said. “I said that he wasn’t my son and that they had changed him. I saw his face and I was surprised.”
A week after her son’s birth, she had a conversation with her partner about conducting a DNA test — but was met with denial.
Despite it all, Nebrazkha felt something “inside” that told her “he wasn’t my son and that I had no maternal attachment.”
She began to save up money after realizing her partner wouldn’t agree to cover the necessary costs.
But right before she was set to send her child for DNA testing, she looked at her son, realizing that her son did, in fact, share much resemblance.
Her acceptance came shortly afterward.
In Nebrazkha’s eyes, her son is now beautiful — but only because his features began to change over the years. She admitted to her rather immature thinking and believes he will take after her family’s genes.
Comments under the mother’s video were relatively lighthearted, thinking the brutal honesty of the situation was hilarious.
“HAHAHA I love the sincerity of the moms of this generation. 🤣🫶🏻✨” laughed one user.
“The same thing happened to me, my son was born very ugly and I didn’t know why 😔 until I realized that he looked like his father. 😅😂” another wrote.
Those in the comment section poked fun atNebrazkha’s initial horror
A third joked, “I laughed my head off! Me pregnant reading this and thinking God please make mine pretty! 😂😂”
Others, however, didn’t think the video was a laughing matter.
“I pity this poor kid when he grows up and sees this video,” someone said.
“When your worst enemy is your own mom,” a netizen pointed out.
A user quoted Nebrazkha’s relief at knowing her son was going to be white and asked, “So if he was brown-skinned, it would be a bad thing?”
