A South African mother has left Mzansi in fits of laughter after sharing a hilarious video showing her baby's strong reaction to her singing.

Baby can't stand mom's singing

The light-hearted clip, shared on Facebook under the handle Bonolo Softie Maloka, has since gone viral. It captures the moment the little one bursts into tears the minute his mom starts singing.

In the now-trending video, the woman explained to her followers how each time she begins to sing or serenade her child with what seems to be a sweet lullaby, the baby, instead of being soothed, immediately begins to cry, much to the amusement of viewers across the country.

Importance of a mother-son relationship

While speaking to Briefly News, relationship expert and Founder of Engaged Humans, Paula Quinsee shared the importance of the mother-son relationship by saying:

"Mothers play a key role in shaping the emotional foundation, development and understanding of relationships. When it comes to sons, mothers can teach them about empathy, respect, and healthy emotional expression. This bond encourages the development of a secure attachment style, which can affect the way he interacts with others, and how he forms romantic relationships later in life."

The relationship expert and Founder of Engaged Humans expressed that the relationship between a mother and her son provides a foundation for emotional stability, encourages mutual respect and understanding, and establishes healthy boundaries that can serve as an example for future relationships.

"A strong relationship with a mother helps a son develop confidence, a sense of security, and the ability to express his emotions in a healthy way. It can be nurtured by showing consistent presence, care, providing emotional support, especially during key moments, engaging in open communication and love."

"Are you sure it's not because you are singing too close to his ear and he is feeling pain in his eardrum? Because even I, if you scream like that in my ear, I'd feel pain. His taking off the hat could be his way of trying to reduce the discomfort. I hope I'm wrong, hey. Cute bab,y by the way."
