In a short viral clip, TikTok couple Rafal and Iyah (rafal_and_iyah) filmed themselves standing in the kitchen, as the wife shared what her hubby got her for Christmas. \u201cSo, I just got back from the store, and my husband goes, \u2018Did you enjoy your time? That was the other half of my Christmas gift,&#8217;\u201d Iyah recounted, while holding their baby. \u201c\u2018You were gone for two hours, and I babysat. Your gift was freedom. I love you,\u2019 and he kissed me,\u201d she continued. Rafal believed the \u201cfreedom\u201d and leisure time he gave her was the \u201cgreatest gift of all for a mother.\u201d He then kissed his wife on the cheek before she bursted out laughing. \u201cThe best gift I could wish for love u babe,\u201d Iyah wrote in the caption. The couple later claimed that the video was a joke. \u201cIt\u2019s called sarcasm\/humor. We\u2019re amazed how many people believed we meant it,\u201d they wrote in the comments section. Despite their clarification, other users still went on to express their opinions on the platform. TikToker Shawnda (ifecoachshawn) reacted to the original clip by stitching it and sharing her thoughts. \u201cI don\u2019t know the ins and outs of their relationship, but I don\u2019t have to,\u201d she said in a video that has now amassed over 1.2 million views. \u201cI\u2019m simply reacting to the video that she posted.\u201d \u201cWhat do you mean he gifted you the gift of freedom for two hours while he babysat his own child?\u201d she continued. \u201cSir, you don\u2019t babysit your own child. She\u2019s not babysitting when you leave. When you\u2019re gonna go play golf or going to work or doing whatever, she\u2019s not babysitting.\u201d She then noted that some men don\u2019t want to be fathers but want women to be mothers as it restricts their freedom. \u201cBut some men, like I said, don\u2019t want to be fathers. They want you to be a mother as a means of control,\u201d Shawnda concluded. Many TikTok users took to the comments to express their opinions about the original video. \u201cSome ppl are more than happy to be somebody\u2019s fool. Let em,\u201d one said. \u201cFreedom is an interesting word choice,\u201d another added. \u201cI dunno\u2026 something about him saying he gave her \u2018freedom for two hours\u2019 irked my soul,\u201d a third shared. \u201cIt\u2019s not babysitting if YOU\u2019RE THE DAD,\u201d someone else commented.
