“I’m literally in the emergency room and my almond mom is walking around so she can keep taking her steps?” Typed in the text displayed on the screen.
“She asked me if she could do push-ups in the corner because she missed workout class to meet me there,” she added in the caption.
Sadie Shaw, 21, went viral on TikTok after sharing a video of her mum walking back and forth to ‘enter her steps’ while in the emergency room
She added in the caption, “She asked if she could do push-ups in the corner because she missed workout class to meet me there.”
“Umm Al-Louz” is a term used to describe mothers who impose restrictive eating and fitness habits on their children.
The viral phrase was inspired by Yolanda Hadid advising her teenage daughter Gigi to “eat a couple of almonds and chew them really well” in a clip that appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Sadie’s video shows her mom, dressed in tracksuits and Airpods, lounging around her hospital bed, mobile phone in hand.
The short clip has received more than 8,400 comments since it was posted a few weeks ago, and many people have been outraged on her behalf.
“This is really sad,” one wrote, while another asked, “Can you imagine living this way?” Such steps will make (or) break a person.
Another person replied, “This is unbelievable and disrespectful.” ‘I’m very sorry.’
Others shared that their moms are the same way, with one viewer recalling how her mom blamed her for causing the ‘ruining of the Peloton 30 Day Challenge’ when she was in the emergency room.
The video has been viewed over 6.3 million times, and many commenters thought her mother’s behavior was “sad” and “disrespectful.”
There were also a number of people who saw nothing wrong with Sadie’s mom taking the time while they waited to see them.
Someone said, “I mean…it’s the emergency room, what else are you supposed to do.” Doctors have you covered and if you need them they are there.
Sadie explained in a follow-up video that she woke up at two in the morning with severe stomach pain and nausea. When she went to urgent care the next morning, she was sent to the emergency room because her white blood cell count was twice as many as it should be.
After further testing, a CT scan showed that her appendix and intestines were inflamed. She was monitored in the hospital overnight because the doctors weren’t ready to rule out appendicitis.
I was discharged the next day after the inflammation went down and my white blood cell count returned to normal. Doctors suspected her symptoms were a side effect of the virus.
Sadie later responded to critics who responded negatively to her video calling out her mother for her behaviour.
Sadie was suffering from stomach pain and nausea when she ended up in the emergency room. Her white blood cell count doubled and she had appendicitis. Doctors think she has a virus
Sadie also hit back at critics who claimed she shouldn’t be calling her mom because “her life revolves around the gym too.” I asked “Where do you think I got it from”
Sadie insisted she posted the video “as a joke” and was not trying to attack her mother
“A lot of people are really upset about the video I posted of my mom walking through my emergency room trying to get in her steps,” she said. My favorite comments are the ones where people say, “Well, your entire page is just filled with fitness content. Your whole life revolves around the gym, too.”
“Girly, where do you think I got it from?” she asked. You in my comments are telling me that I need to stop judging her because I have the same problem. Just think about that for a second.
When she’s raised by a gym-obsessed guy who can’t take a day off, even when her daughter is in the ER, how do you think I’m going to end up? Why do you think my whole life revolves around the gym?
Sadie said she was “grateful” for her mom to come to the hospital and spend the whole day with her in the emergency room.
I literally posted it as a joke. She was pacing around my room trying to get her steps in, asking if she could do push-ups on the floor. She explained that both things were true.
I wasn’t trying to attack her, and I wasn’t trying to get five million people to attack her either. Everyone copes with their trauma in different ways. Personally, I use humor to deal with what I have.
