Media personality Jeridah Andayi recently went viral after expressing her frustration with her daughter, Norah Zawadi, who lost a pair of costly running shoes at her school in the U.S.
In a TikTok video that has since attracted hundreds of comments, Jeridah appeared visibly angry as she confronted Norah about the lost shoes.
Norah tried to explain how she had misplaced them at school, but her long explanation only made her mother more upset. “I almost jumped on her!” Jeridah wrote in a post, clearly annoyed by the situation.
The shoes were described as expensive, and Jeridah said she had worked hard to afford them.
Many parents could relate, as losing valuable items—especially due to carelessness—is a common challenge when raising children.
The incident sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with users divided on how the matter was handled.
Some people supported Jeridah’s tough reaction, saying children need to learn responsibility, especially when given valuable things.
Others urged her to remain calm, suggesting that mistakes happen and that Norah likely already felt bad about losing the shoes.
The story has sparked an online conversation about parenting, discipline, and how to teach children the value of money and responsibility.
Norah, who is currently studying in the U.S., has not publicly responded beyond the conversation captured in the TikTok video.
