Many found her video heart-warming, but some said she should not be treated like a child
SINGAPORE: When a young Asian woman recorded a video of her parents accompanying her on a practice commute to her new job and posted it on TikTok last month, she received over 6 million views but also divided the internet.
One commenter pointed out that it would give her parents a stronger sense of safety. “Not only is it sweet it also gives the parents an idea of where she’s going everyday and now they can easily reference to what they know should something ever happen to her. Like if she were to go missing, ‘Well she usually goes this way.’”
“’27 yo teenage girl’ which doesn’t exist because it can’t. Being a teenager ends at 18, when adulthood begins. If we want to play semantic games, it can end at nineTEEN,… but 27?! If I was the employer I would really reconsider hiring this ‘teenager’,” one wrote.As it turns out, it was she who was teaching her parents a thing or two instead of the other way around.
