“Why can’t today’s mothers just say NO to their kids?” one user asked.
“Permanent decisions shouldn’t be made until you’re an adult,” another person echoed.

Others slammed the mother-daughter duo for teasing at the beginning of the video that the “surprise” they had for viewers was that Sophia was pregnantbefore unveiling the fresh ink.
