“It’s a BOY,” the Italian woman wrote alongside a video of theannouncement. After the long-awaited countdown, she and her partner pressed a button, releasing blue smoke into the sky.
The father was so excited about his future son that he took off his jacket and shirt, ran off stage, and jumped into the lake, seemingly forgetting tocelebratewith the woman who was carrying his child.
The clip has received over 25 million views since it was posted on June 17.
“I understand your excitement, but you should have hugged your wife first,” a TikTok user wrote.
“Beautiful party. The only thing missing was a hug for the future mom,” another person agreed.
“How to make everything revolve around you,” a third individual chimed in.

However, others believed that the father’s reaction wasn’t disrespectful to his partner and that he was simply overcome with emotion at learning that the sex of his child was what he had hoped for.
“That’s called happiness; they are instant reactions. There’s no way to blame him. Euphoria and excitement took over,” a separate user argued.
“Don’t judge. The excitement of the moment can make you act in a thousand different ways. Congrats!” somebody else added.
“The man also deserves to be happy. Let him enjoy it in his own way…” an additional user stressed.

Responding to the claim that “no one came to hug her” after the revelation, the mom-to-be uploaded afollow-up videoin which she showed her family members and friends embracing her while her partner was in the lake.
The clip ends with the man returning from his quick swim, approaching her, and blowing her a kiss before clapping to express his enthusiasm about the newest addition to their family.

However, this trend seems to be changing now. Amore recent paperpublished in 2017 used the same technique but with fertility data from 2008 to 2013.
“We were surprised to find that it was not true anymore that having a girl encouraged additional births,” Francine Blau, an economist at Cornell and one of the paper’s authors, told theNew York Times.

Now, however, families are no longer having more children to increase the likelihood of welcoming a boy.
Gordon Dahl, an economics professor at the University of California, believes that the difference in data between the 2017 study and the 2011 survey lies in women gaining more decision-making power in family planning.
“It could be men are just as biased as they always were but have less of a say in having another kid,” Dahl said.
“He made it all about him,” a social media user wrote
