Most people have argued that her actions toward her toddler were not appropriate. Jayde was very young in the clip and not able to understand the activity fully.

On Reddit, one person commented, “I don’t understand why she gets mad at a baby for acting like a baby.” Another person agreed, “Same, especially when it has to do with something non-baby, like painting nails. The dumbassery is off the charts.”

A third person asked “why” the child needed an aggressive tummy pat because she was moving. “Like this was just unnecessary imo,” they concluded.

Yet another person expressed their disgust on Reddit. “Painting a baby’s nails isn’t mandatory or important. She couldn’t handle the baby moving and instead of accepting the baby moving she resorted to threats and hitting,” they wrote.
